Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if N's upper management teamed up with Sweeney, they seem to be cut of the same cloth, at least in terms of business. Thankfully, they're so stuck in the Japanese bubble days that the possibility of such alliance is miniscule.

Downunder.
"very subjective criteria" -- specifically designed to prevent abuse and using Steam as a "free marketing" platform.

Steamworks documentation said:
Steam keys can only be promoted as a reward for products that have already confirmed Steam distribution -- it’s not OK to use the Valve or Steam logos to market a product that is not currently under Steam Distribution Agreement.
Try again, Tim.

Hahah Japanese companies will literally kill themselves before having to support two PC platforms.
so they'll just drop steam - easy peasy

i mean - Tim will be giving them a big bag of cash ... so the choice is obvious ;)

lash, be honest, how would you actually feel if Epic bought anime from entering Steam?

Whatever he says his primary function is to address the developers. Sweeney does not care about the consumers. What he really wants is to make a system where prices will rarely drop so his 88/12 might somehow function.

For which to happen it needs for a crushing number of good devs to get behind EGS bars and Steam, GoG or anyone else severely weakened or out of the picture. But this does not seem possible to happen anytime soon and when the next gaming trend attract his fortnite crowd he will be with the willy in his palm.

Yet there are some people, devs and consumers that run for the juicy cheese but do not notice the mousetrap.

There's a chance that Sergey is going to TGS to just mess with people's brains and they haven't actually secured any eggsclusives from that.

Enough money will make anyone do anything.
Unless they outright buy Atlus, I doubt it. Japanese companies very commonly dont act for their benefit lol

I would be VERY surprised if they happen to extract something from Atlus.

Sega bought Atlus and that didn't change anything either ¯\(ツ)



Another day of Sweeney peddling bullshit on twitter again. Sigh.
I hate that guy so much.

If Tim can somehow convince Nintendo and Atlus to put their game on PC, I'll be happy to buy it.

Persona 4 Golden is my favorite game by a long shot and its not even close. Epic can bring it to PC as an exclusive and I still wouldnt use their shitty platform.

Try me Sweeney.

Airborne Kingdom is a perma exclusive to EGS. Not sure if the contract with Epic is timed and they're just keeping it exclusive on their own or what.

But if the contract is only a year we'll see how long that "lifetime exclusivity" lasts lol

It's a shame. It looks pretty good. I even wishlisted it at some point.

He says there is no strings.... When why not release on steam also?????;)
no strings ... other than the mandated 12 months egsclusivity

but apparently they don't view that as "strings" since they decided to be permanently egsclusive anyway
