Epic's exclusivity push leads to ugliness

what happened?Annapurna really dropped the ball today with our man Tim, shame on them
Not entirely. The author at least acknowledged that Epic, Sweeney, the Ooblets devs and Deep Silver are also responsible for the outrage. That's a first on GI.biz and similar sites.Epic's exclusivity push leads to ugliness

Ah, they swallowed their pride after all. shame.giflook what's back
This is rather about Observation flopping on EGS than a matter of pride I guess
Yup same. No fucking way im touching EGS but im also not waiting any longer for TWAU2 than I have to.
Bloodroots too. I played the beta via Steam.
Yes, that's what I thought too when I saw that list ; apart from Godfall other games are small indies, not without interest for some (Foregone, Bloodroots...) but with little visibility before this event.
So the money hatting continues. Doesn't surprise me with Phoenix Point and Mechwarrior 5 currently leading the top sellers list on EGS. Too many people just don't care. At least no Dying Light 2 in that list (yet), so I'm happy. And while I've enjoyed TWAU, I don't exactly feel bad for not playing the sequel.
Can someone elaborate that statement about free games? I would not like to miss out on those.
What do you mean, wouldn't EGS exclusives lead the top charts on EGS no matter what? Without numbers it doesn't mean anything.
These two games selling better than the AAA games that are usually leading the top selling list (RDR2, Jedi order, BL3) is remarkable imo. Especially after the outrage when Snapshot sold their backers to Epic, and the complaints about Mechwarrior Online. Also, Phoenix Point launched in an almost broken state and got mediocre reviews.
It seems the top 20 is only updated every week. It's all manual work, remember?
I just look at it as no one buying RDR and Jedi on egs because they are available elsewhere, BL3 is already old at this point, so everyone who wanted it probably already had it or will just wait for Steam at this point in time. I doubt those games are moving big numbers, so the few eggscloosies being higher on the list doesn't surprise me.
Yup, i've been saying that for months and months. They are doing everything that they railed against Steam for doing and are doing nothing that people praise Steam for. It's a joke.
I think that Kickstarter backers redeeming their keys might be affecting the list.
Mostly indies that I don't care about, as well as a co-op service game. They can keep them.
