I'd say some things but don't want to catch a ban. I just can't believe these people actually exist, the lengths they'd go to ignore what others have been saying for months. It's borderline malicious imo.

Ok, that sounds like a shitty overall QOL drop. The sheer anger and vitriol in this thread tells me there's more to it, though. People can't be this angry over just those features being missing.
Ah, ok. Yeah, that's no good then. People are owed what they bought, or at the very least, should be given a refund if they specifically requested a Steam key.
They can promise but they can't officially offer keys until the game is for sale on Steam.
They will put it on gamepass in a heartbeat after it bombs.
See Metro
Wait by "won't be coming to steam" does it mean not coming to steam period or for a year cause otherwise...
OOF
OOF
SMH lol. I guess eventually when theres enough games over there i'll have to install that stupid thing. I'm cool when its an exclusive game because they made it at least, but buying storefront exclusivity sucks lol. Usually you can get keys from other resellers cheaper too and stuff. Oh well. I'm a huge Shenmue fan so I don't know if I can hold off, but maybe if it reviews bad I'll wait I dunno lol.
Steam was mentioned before that too, and I don't really agree at all even if that that was true. Even in that scenario doing it this way is still a shitty fucking way to treat your consumers. You could still back and increase your pledges while that survey was around, so people would have still been misled at some point.
I'm bewildered anyone can defend this shitty practice.
It's pretty much trolling at this point. People gotta never respond to those people are at the very least tell them to google.
I was extremely happy to see the game coming out and i backed it but now they can get fucked. this is shitting on backers.
I imagine that they will respect their earlier promises and give Steam codes to backers who chose that as their platform. At least after the reaction they got for this update, if they didn't plan to do it otherwise. Shenmue 3 already has a Steam page and everything, too.
Not a huge deal to me either way, but I'd definitely prefer to have it on Steam just because I'd rather not deal with yet another game launcher.

As everything epic related is shady, we don't know yet. It seems that it's fully exclusive, but it also would be a first so i'm skeptic...
You think I'm happy about it? I'm not. Have not bought a single game from them but they are buying up the exclusivity rights to many huge releases.
I don't feel bad because of the EGS stuff, I feel bad for backers because the game still looks rough.
Remember when Tim Sweeney said he wouldn't pull something like this again? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Either way, they told me that Metro Exodus and The Outer Worlds would be exclusive to Epic, and I can play one now and another by the end of the year on PC Game Pass. Much of Shenmue's sales have been done already, but when III continues the trend and underperforms on EGS, I'll be happy to play Shenmue through Game Pass instead after a few months. If I was a backer, I'd just get my refund and wait for Game Pass.
Didn't think I'd see the day when Microsoft was doing more for PC gaming than any other company, but here we are.

This seems weird to me at first but honestly it pretty bad that by allowing these games to 'eventually' land on Steam, just tells the devs it's okay to take the large chunk of cash from Epic up front and then look forward to more sales on Steam later.
From a business standpoint I could never see Valve doing this because they're just throwing money away, but I have to believe it would start to slowly make a difference if devs knew that Steam would never be an option if the went exclusive after promoting their games to come to Steam. Again, it seems a bit cloudy on that aspect here, but other games in the past it was clearly black and white.
No Xbox One version, though. Unless they are already developing a port for Xbox One/W10.
This is beyond scummy holy shIt! i dont know what to feel about this. I kickstarted for a steam code so i want my steam code please and thank you.
The developers of phoenix point (another crowdfunded game switching to EGS) said they got enough fuck you money to cover a 100% refund rate and still have money left
True enough. I'm also not a fan. I prefer Steam. However, I don't have a problem with EGS. If I had to pick between getting a pc game on EGS or not at all, I'd get it on EGS lol. It's the developer's choice and Epic Games's choice in the end, not ours. We're just consumers and we vote with our wallets.
LOL, this is getting so predictable now.
This sets an atrocious precedent for future kickstarter/Fig projects when Tim Sweeny comes around with his Fortnite Fuck You money and cancelled promised versions of upcoming games.

We funded the game, yet it turns out as a exclusive on store platform? What the hell? Was it a decision made by Deep Silver? I expected the game to be available on all storefronts.
It always amuses me how long he spent bitching about Microsoft locking games behind the windows store and his company creates a platform that does exactly the thing he was complaining about.
