Remnant: From the Ashes with a peak of 35k players and 33k right now, that are great numbers imo, I honestly thought it's going to release and then disappear but they got a lot of streamers and let's players on board shortly before release.
We tried with MC members, it still work as before via community / search friends
Steam Community :: Search
Bbut yeah, now I see where's the difference. You can't do it via your friends page. Thanks for pointing out. Doesn't sound really good.
Any news from Valve about this ? From an update log ?

I keep saying this, but it's true: my backlog is a complete embarrassment.
I absolutely loved Life is Strange (and played each episode as it launched), so when Before the Storm was announced, I immediately pre-ordered it.
I'm yet to play it.
Then Life is Strange 2 was announced. I immediately pre-ordered it, and said to myself "I'll finish Before The Storm before the first episode is released".
I'm yet to play it either.

I honestly never even heard of the game until about a week ago. Don't remember seeing it at any conference and I follow quite a bit of other avenues for gaming news too.
Out of nowhere you see so much of the souls community streaming it + good word of mouth and its global top seller. PC gaming is really crazy sometimes. Shit justs pops up out of nowhere and becomes very popular.
It makes Sweeney and EGS look so bad too. Like...trying to curate and cherry pick a store in today's industry? Fucking why?
Err, I played Life is Strange !I keep saying this, but it's true: my backlog is a complete embarrassment.

...
The first episode...
LOL ... I thought the store page would pop up closer to release.
Has it already been 9 months since the egslusivity bullshit started?
Wasn't the plan for the EA to be exclusive and the final game on Steam ?
Feels like a lot longer than that, really.

... did exactly the same thing. Played the first one, loved it, pre-order the new one, and still haven't played it or the prequel.But hey, if we were going to apply logic to our backlogs.... then we would probably not have one in the first place.
I was going to ask the same thing.... I'm going to be shocked if the whole "we are only using EGS for the early access and the full game will release after the same developement time as the others" was bullshit... shocked!!!

well i mean - we're still 3 months away from release .... so it WILL be full 12 months since egsclusivity
they ALL are 12 months ... and they ALL will be 12 months - whether they want it or not ... that's what the money was for, so it's not like they can just release it earlier
the only exception is Blands (and ubi stuff, i guess - which is never coming back)

They had. And I still haven't bought a single one of them.
I'm glad Hades has a store page so in advance.
It allows me to mark it as "ignored" so much sooner.
I mean, how can you do Early Access when no one is playing your game helping to find bugs?
After WWZ and Satisfactory we haven't seen any numbers*. Nothing. Nada. Gamescom would've been perfect to announce how great game x is doing and it'll only get better with Blands3 and so on. Complete silence.
*well, except constant mentions of 88%
Yea but thy were explicitly saying it WON'T be released on steam until they're out of EA, so this is a change of plans
Now that I have a new Switch, I have to do what every sane person would do. Browse the store starting at the date I sold the old one and clog up my whishlist to hell and back.
I don't even know if the poor excuse for a store will be able to handle it.

Wait I thought they are doing full early access on EGS and then launch the full game on Steam. Why is it still early access on Steam?
They it recently I know that
They like specifically said that but I can't be bothered to find it
Sort of a pre-post edit, I looked it up on the Internet archive
Yeah it was in their FAQ but they changed it as of it today
Mixed feelings. I can't decide if it's pathetic or gross.

not really, though ... it was just their way of trying to placate disappointed people
it was always going to be 12 months ... and it will be the same with all the other "early access" games - they'll ALL be 12 months, regardless if they actually finish them by the time that year passes or not
Oh my they editted their FAQ

I guess they wanted more than 10 people to beta test their game
I'm sure they had way more than 10 people. At least 30. All journalists
Defending Epic against hyper-toxic consummers is serious business.

yeah, i imagine that might be one of the reasons why they aren't done yet
(obviously more than 10 people bought it, lol ... but i can only imagine the additional hurdle of having to go to discord to actually report stuff or ask might've been a bit too much for the majority of people)
It's more than that I believe. Their last sale must net them quite a lot. On reddit there are 3191 subscribers, not necessarily the number of people who bought the game tho.
lmao guess it didnt do well if they changed their Steam release from “when 1.0 comes out” to December.
Guess I’m not complaining though. The faster these EGS exclusives come to Steam the better.
Amusing moment earlier today when I bought the Switch at the French equivalent to GameStop.
Me : "...yadda yadda... do you have tempered glass protections, nothing fancy as I'm near the point I should watch for each euro I spend ?"
Vendor : "oh, we have a nice added warranty service for 45 euros"
Me : Wut ? Did I speak Finnish right now or ?

I mean obviously I'm being sarcastic but the whole discord to report and that stuff is stupid,
I'm on like 20+ discords and I only actively use like 5 because it's stupid to manage that many even when I actually like all the ones I'm on.
Their steam forum for it got put up less than an hour ago and it's going downhill, I can only really say that I am not a huge fan of Early Access stuff anymore let alone throwing the whole epic shenanigans into the mix.
Honestly Super Giant is probably one of the least volatile amongst the "ew EGS" games though, they didn't shit all over their fanbase they explained why they were doing it and that was that, it just boils down to the weirdness of it all of epic.
Seems that our dear Fortnite420Bro isn't the best at reporting issues after all.
Pathetically gross.
Anyway, this means that Ashen might be right around the corner too, right? It just had some achievements added on SteamDB earlier this week.

Yeah. It's like they are copying other indie developers, and are trying hard to get a deal with Epic.
OP
Well, Hades was on EGS since the beginning, meaning that they will come to Steam roughly a year later. Seems like Epic's money didn't help with EA.
No publisher weekend sale this time? I want Bamco to have one (or KT).

Not seeing that yet, it's been civil so far. But of course bad threads/comments will happen. And of course we'll get articles/tweets picking out the worst ones ignoring everyone else while blaming everyone.
Personally I'm not sure yet how I'll handle these games, of course devs like the Ooblets fools won't ever get my money but devs who weren't complete dicks about the whole thing, dunno yet. Paying full price is out of the window tho.
