News Epic Games Store

I think it makes sense since devs who are interested in exclusivity probably try to maximize their exclusivity amount. Going with Microsoft may shut the door on any other deal since Microsoft likely pushes both their console and PC platforms (as well as Gamepass). Whereas a Sony or Epic deal do not compete in the same spaces.
Well Tomb raider 2013 trilogy is now Egsclusive, as you cannot launch into the single player portion at all without logging in to your Epic account.
Some people have had luck and gotten to main menu with "connect Steam and Epic", I myself am stuck in the software logos part.
This might be it. I don't have my Steam account linked to an Epic account and didn't get any sort of popup.

Not even a weekly freebie? Weird. I thought they would have given those games away after Lara got into Fortnite.
What kind of BS is this? Let me at least play the single player game without needing to log in to EOS
I really don't like where this is going. Adding the requirement of a 3rd party login years after release is completely unacceptable. It's also still not clear which data is sent to Epic's servers.
I guess this is more preparation from Epic to get as many games and gamers in their "metaverse".
It may or may not have been a royal fuck up ............. gosh surprise there

Either way it is just another reason why all PC gamers should stand against the bull Epic is pulling> Sweeney wants to take PC Gaming down a very dark path that lines his pockets at ours and other developers expense and sadly too many people are falling for it for 10 buck fucking vouchers

So basically as long as I dont sync my Steam account to an EGS account I'm safe from this shit?
Weird how they only released Rise Lara on EGS.
Weird how FIST is not on EGS yet.
Weird how Naraka Bladepoint is not on EGS yet.
So either the devs/pub don't care or they have a hard time working with EGS.

Just to add some perspective, it took bannerlord 3 months (from march to June) to release on the EGS,
I mentioning that one because it was announced day 1 in the 3 stores but the EGS version got delayed for some reason.

LiS 3 was also announced for EGS, in that one trailer, but ended up being only on Steam.
Something for sure is going on, I just don't know what and I would really like to know.
I was curing as to whether EOS would force every game to be always online so I disconnected from the internet and tried Hades and Griftlands and they worked perfectly fine offline. I'm guessing Nixxes just screwed up the EOS implementation in the Tomb Raider games and that services doesn't require a game to be always online.

Maybe the Google trial will reveal all
Though at the moment, I speculate it is a death by a thousand cuts. With the store having a lot of manual parts to publish a page (e.g. self-publishing still in beta), having less purchasers than other platforms (i.e. less priority), requirements around features that likely add a bit of complexity (e.g. cross-play, achievements, etc.), publishers/developers holding out for a payment since Epic has normalized this expectation, Epic seeming like they want to give out a title for free from any publisher/developer new to the store (or at least prioritize those publishers/developers that agree to this deal).
Heck, I have speculated before that as Epic becomes a third party publisher, they are inviting other publishers to see them as competition. I think this part is still a few years from being a reason since Epic is still paying folks to put their games on the store.
Steam versions of Tomb Raider appear to require Epic logins - but it’s not true
Despite an online freakout, Tomb Raider's move to Epic Online Services doesn't mean you have to login to Epic on Steam

It seems to be badly implemented. Should be able to play the game without logging into EOS no matter whatSteam versions of Tomb Raider appear to require Epic logins - but it’s not true

What is funny is this kind of issue happened to me on PC GamePass in the past.
If the pop-up window which asks for permission failed to appear, I would be stuck on the title screen. No solution was ever found.
I think some devs assume that the pop-up window does not exist, or that the prompt always works, or that users never click "Cancel". :lul:
A grain of salt and you are stuck in limbo.

This is the company that made a remaster of a game and subsequently removed the original game from the store, except they never started selling the remaster. Almost every time they try to "improve" something, it results in some sort of monkey paw situation.
It's been 3 years an The Last Remnant still can't be bought on PC anymore... is what I was going to say but apparently they still sell keys on the Square Enix EU store - but not US.

its has always been the pattern since the creation of EGS,
i would say almost all of the scloosies are in these groups
- sony-tied games (as they know they are suspectible for exlusivity and in need of money)
- dev-hell games (as a last attempt to get them actually release without cancellation)
- wellknown longtime devs who had their recent project fail miserably (as they need the money and often blame steam for their failure after years of Tim/Sergei twitter propaganda)
- Experimental games by bigger teams which they are unsure about (experimental test publisher is unsure if will sell at all or unmarked early access ... to get at least some money )
It's good that the developers of Darq kept their word about donating to charity. The game must have been a big success on Steam and other places for them to do that.
It had a store page in the past, but was pulled. Pretty weird. Also still no Naraka Bladepoint and FIST.
They must either not care, have forgotten or find something with releasing on EGS to be difficulty. Could be that Epic is starting to require games to use EOS now and it is difficulty to work with it or the rules are strict?
I mean, I can't find the channel right now, but Epic has a YT channel where they release videos for devs and pubs about things, they released a video about EOS and how to use and implement it and there were a lot of comments about the rules being very strict at least.
No, but close: EOS is not required, but cross-platform multiplayer support is. In the requirements for being featured on EGS, there is this paragraph:
Cross-Platform Multiplayer Guidelines
Guidelines for the cross-platform multiplayer requirement.
If a dev does not want to use EOS, and does not have the knowledge/competence/budget to make their game cross-platform, they are not welcome on EGS.

oh , thats explains a lot how fast the EoS nonsence spread accross steam
According to the trial documents.
If a game launches at the same time (or later) on the EGS it must implement "store cross-play" (if it has multiplayer) but if it launches first on EGS then it's just encouraged. And since epic offers you EOS as an option

I like how people forgot about this:

real quick.
The creator of 'Fortnite' reportedly has a brutal work culture where some employees have 100-hour work weeks: 'I hardly sleep. I’m grumpy at home. I have no energy to go out.'
Employees at "Fortnite" maker Epic Games are reportedly facing brutal work hours as the company struggles to keep up with the popularity of its game.

Looks like Epic is publishing a game called Railgrade. What's interesting is that the initial press release said it was coming to Steam and was being published by The Irregular Corporation. Since Epic bought Tonic Games who owns Irregular, I guess we can assume all their future Irregular games will be EGS exclusive from here on out and will be under the Epic Games Publishing label. Also the Steam page was pulled which further confirms this.
