Shenmue III is timed exclusive to Epic Games Store, backers PC code redeemed on EGS & no refund (See Threadmark) [READ STAFF POSTS BEFORE POSTING]

[Asbsand]

I don't mind things going to the EGS other than the somewhat inconvenient nature of it. I just think it's sad that the game is going to have an extra level of negativity towards it because of this, now.

 

[Hucast]

Epic store just made things personal with me. I will forever hate them from this day if it's EGS exclusive. They can straight up go fuck themselves if that's the case. Playing with my preferred choices

 

[Xavi]

Not it isn't until we get an official confirmation. Let's wait.

 

[Zafir]

so they never promised steam? all good then.

This is literally what my backer survey says. They definitely promised Steam copies lol.

People who are saying otherwise are talking rubbish.

two dollars

Ouch. They should have asked more.

 

[SunBroDave]

Tbh I don't blame them for taking the Epic money. Even if the game were looking good, it's going to get buried in November between Death Stranding, Star Wars, and Doom.

They use the phrase "Windows PC Physical Copy" and "Windows PC Digital Copy" on their Kickstarter Page

Click to shrink...

so they never promised steam is what you're telling me...

 

[Acidote]

Eh idk about that. An EGS sponsored show showing a Steam logo doesn't seem likely...

Click to shrink...

Good point actually. Didn't think of that.

Click to shrink...

Several games have shown the Steam logo already. E.g. Age of Wonders Planetfall.

 

[bsigg]

Plenty have titles shown on stream have had a Steam logo, it's exclusive to EGS bruh

Click to shrink...

There were multiple other trailers that had the Steam logo on it

Click to shrink...

Not even the company hosting the event knows lol

 

[DGenerator]

How many seconds of Shenmue 3 gameplay have we seen five months out from release?

 

[Woffls]

Did someone actually say that it was EGS exclusive, or was it just the logo?

 

[Allshallperish]

A digital copy of Shenmue 3 for PC or PS4.

Click to shrink...

Glad I went for the PS4 physical.

 

[The-Demon]

yooooooo gottem

wait until red dead 2 is epic exclusive as well

 

[ZeroCDR]

Glad I went PS4 for my backer copy.

 

[GhostTrick]

People were promised Steam keys were it matters:
In the survey they filled.

 

[Champion]

 

[Spaghetti]

Waiting for confirmation of exclusivity, but at the very least I hope the Steam keys for backers are honoured.

 

[AnonymousApple]

The OP should've mentioned the fact that it isn't known yet whether the game is exclusive. All signs point to it, but official confirmation is needed.

 

[ethranes]

Steam slowly turning into the hentai store front. They need to do something or its gonna die

I backed this game on Kickstarter for a "Physical Steam Disc" according to the fangamer survey. If I don't get a "Physical Steam Disc" and I get a "Physical Epic Disc" instead, I want my money back.

 

[Hektor]

Either it is exclusive or it's just Epic bringing in shit tier intentionally confusing console marketing into the pc gaming space.

Bad news either way

Click to shrink...

You should. They built the game with my money. If the money people funded wasn't enough, it's only themself to blame.

Just logo.

They did and still do

I'm getting the PS4 copy, but Steam is still there.

 

[Phrozenflame500]

Bwahaha Epic wins again

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

Pass if true.
Probably just get a console ver.

 

[BasilZero]

First Kickstarter I did in my life, fuck you Deep Silver and Epic. I backed for a Steam key, did the survey for a Steam key, paid when the game was just an idea to get it done, now it's Epic exclusive. Fuck them.

Click to shrink...

One of the many reasons I never got into kickstart funding or anything similar to it

 

[Arthoneceron]

Knowing Epic, I doubt it isn't exclusive.

 

[GarthLordOfTheSith]

I backed for a Steam code. I'm going to be angry If I don't get it.

Click to shrink...

YUP. Same. I will be livid. Fuck epic.

Total miscommunication from PC Gamer and Epic

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Hey SEGA, clarify your shit. Holy hell.

 

[cowbanana]

I honestly feel for the PC backers. Epic continues to be shit, but the devs/pub are the biggest shits here, taking a deal many of those who supported them will be strongly against.

Personally I have no horse in this race, the game always looked like shit to me. So I feel no loss here.

 

[Sever]

Shenmue is such a niche game, It'll do well on ps4 hopefully EGS fortnight players give a shit and buy it.

 

[AMAGON]

idgaf just give me the game

 

[CHC]

We don't know if it's exclusive and it has a Steam page. It wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be (and it would be annoying) but the thread seems premature

 

[mindatlarge]

This has not been confirmed exclusive to EGS...

 

[Deleted member 864]

Click to shrink...

Sheesh.

 

[LiK]

They use the phrase "Windows PC Physical Copy" and "Windows PC Digital Copy" on their Kickstarter Page

Safe phrasing.

the fuck? Yes, they did....

 

[rpm]

Hey SEGA, clarify your shit. Holy hell.

Click to shrink...

SEGA doesn't have anything to do with this

 

[Genesis]

They've finally gone too far.

 

[Cels]

They did and still do

Click to shrink...

then i guess you can get a refund. well that sucks to promise one thing then switch stores if the game is no longer on steam

 

[Deleted member 28523]

lol pcgamer. why do a clickbait about your own show.

 

[Deleted member 13549]

They promised Steam. Literally this is from the survey.
