And I got all excited to play this, just to find out it's only on Epic for PC. Ugh.
And the wait begins.
What's annoying is the game devs went on Reddit to ask what everyone's preferred gaming platform was before making this game a 1 year epic exclusive.
Probably ultimately wasn't their decision to make.
If it was the devs, that seems more like they were trying to gather data to give to the higher ups to sway in their preferred direction. I'm sure the devs would like their work to be published on arguably the biggest gaming marketplace opposed to the execs getting a fat bag of cash from Epic for exclusivity.
That just eleveates guilt for 🏴☠️, I was genuinely going to pay for it, but Epic paid for me to not have the opportunity on Steam.
Yep, i would have paid full price, but I won't buy from epic, and i won't pay mor then 5$ for anything that was previously exclusive to this abomination.
Fuck 'em!
It definitely sucks when it's something you're excited for. I've started to mind less nowadays though, there are so many games to play and picking it up after a year is usually not a bad general rule anyway.
Sometimes it pays to be a patient gamer. :)
let's hope the 1 year exclusivity is from the release of the first episode rather than the release of the last one. To be fair, I don't hate the epic launcher and have bought a few games there, but being an epic exclusive reduces the possibility for the game becoming cheaper quickly and there's very few games I am willing to spend even 40 Euros for.
What's the issue people have with Epic Games Store?
The exclusivity-thing is a no-brainer for someone that needs to break into a market dominated by a behemoth like Valve. How would you suggest Epic Games Store grow the fastest with a big bag of Fortnite-money?
Sony plays this game the best and I don't see as many gamers complaining about their anti-competitive behaviour, despite being the biggest one...
Epic as a company is another thing completely though but is that why gamers hate on the Epic Store?
