That was sarcasm. Guess I forgot to add the /s.1) You need to look up the word monoply

I apologize, I read regional and thought of pricing right away. You're right, games not actually being available in certain regions is a big problem and one of the major ones with the EGS.I never said this was about regional pricing. Control is literally not available in China.
I don't have an exact number, obviously, but the Linux argument is very often exaggerated. Gaming on Linux has it's own slew of issues, and again this is assuming EGS doesn't support it in the future. Hell, according to this link, the Linux market share is only around 2%, not a negligible number, but also not high enough overtake other more pressing matters, like games locked out of regions, or lack of cloud saves.what's the exact percentage of customers where screwing them over goes from "doesn't matter not very many people" to "not okay" in your opinion?
I agree that refunds should be happening for those that want it. It's ridiculous that it isn't.If the backers paid for Steam then it should be Steam or refund for them since they consider the Epic Store worse than Steam for their own reasons.
And this should be respected.
And yes if we compare Steam to EGS it IS worse in almost all aspects.
And there was me thinking that the reaction to Bloodstained's "backer-only" DLC becoming generally available was bad!
I'm not a backer, but this is definitely not a good look. This being Kickstarter, clearly and refund demands aren't going to go anywhere anyway, but looking over the campaign page now, it seems that they've quite studiously avoided any reference to any particular PC distribution platform. I see that they did indeed reference Steam in the backer survey choices, but I'd imagine that that would be viewed as less of a true commitment than if it were in the campaign.

Got a response from my Kickstarter message, skimmed the last few pages and didn't see it:
Didn't that fuckface Tim Sweeney say he wasn't gonna repeat a case like Metro Exodus. What a dick

Ah, I see - that does change things a bit, though I bet that they could point to that "system requirements may change without notice" note is they wanted to.I just did a search through my emails. They began mentioning Steam WHILE the campaign was still running on kickstarter. They mention steam for the very first time on June 28th:
That was taken from my email sent by them while the campaign was still going on. The campaign ended July 17th. So, WHILE the kickstarter campaign was still running, WHILE they were still taking orders on Kickstarter, they had already begun advertising the Steam copy.
This is obviously horseshit.
This kind of backlash will kill this game on PC. Whether you are ok with EGS or not. Throwing away long term success for a quick buck up front
um it's called competition tm maybe you've heard of itThis kind of backlash will kill this game on PC. Whether you are ok with EGS or not. Throwing away long term success for a quick buck up front
Sony and Deep Silver provided funding beyond the Kickstarter campaign too, so it's a quadruple dip.They double dipped.
They got all the money from the fans to make the game.
Now they take Epics money and tell the fans to deal with it.
Yikes man.
Technically he didn't since the release is months away unlike Metro Exodus which was a few weeks(?) away. But still, a horrible move nevertheless.Didn't that fuckface Tim Sweeney say he wasn't gonna repeat a case like Metro Exodus. What a dick
I don't see an article on PC Gamer about this massive announcement that occurred during the E3 conference they host.
This thread is getting a bit long, so I'm not sure this has been corrected, but you should check the year on those emails. The Steam information didn't actually appear until June 28th... 2018.I just did a search through my emails. They began mentioning Steam WHILE the campaign was still running on kickstarter. They mention steam for the very first time on June 28th.

Also worth pointing out, since that email, literally every single other backer update email they have sent out has mentioned Steam in it. Every. Single. One.
No they're not.I haven't been saying it's just another launcher... Literally in my very first post here I said that it wasn't.
What I'm saying is that people are taking the news a tad too personally, and hell I just had to fight off the absurd notion that going from Steam to EGS is as bad or worse than a game going from Xbox to PS4.
I wonder in what way the EGS is a better distribution platform? Better download speeds? Better matchmaking? Better customer support? Better $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$?The launch was previously planned for distribution on Steam, however it was decided together with Deep Silver after much discussion that the Epic Games Store would be the best distribution platform option.
