If that happened I fully expect Death Stranding and FF7R. Maybe Kingdom Hearts too.oh, they absolutely will ... that's why i'm thinking there weren't any big announcements for a while - they're saving all of them for The Keighleys™

Yep. One of my favorites this gen so the sequel going EGS is really gonna hurt.Yeah me too and its disappointing as i really liked the first one.

Oh well though, got lots of things to play in 2020. They’ll never be able to take my most anticipated title (Terraria Journeys End, its an update but idc still counting it) away and thats all that matters to me.
Yup, for me Dying Light 2 will launch on Steam day one and so will every 2020 PC release that hasn't been confirmed as an EGS exclusive. There's no need to suffer in advance.A few months ago we all expected PC Gamer's E3 show to be full of EGS moneyhats. I would recommend that no one assumes anything beforehand, let's see what happens first.

True.
It's almost like people are overestimating Epic's buying power.
I've said many times that I have complete faith in the PC gaming community and I am as confident as ever that Epic will lose.
I'm not that confident. I see people praising EGS out of nowhere just because.
People saying "EGS ? Never !" then buying BLands3 or suddenly finding EGS interface "nice and elegant".
And still many Steam-haters (these popped out last year, never heard them complaint about Steam before, but hey, if Tim said it...).
Not sure how many they are though. But PC Gamers can be total idiots too.![]()

I won't begrudge anyone for their choices when it comes to games. It's a hobby that is meant to make our lives more fun. If some people want to play a game that badly that they can't wait a few months, that's fine. With PC gaming becoming bigger every day it won't be as easy as it was in the past to rally everyone behind a cause. However, I firmly believe that the core PC community values the benefits and special features of the platform too much to let them go just because Epic suddenly realized that PC gaming is a profitable market. So far I'd say that the PC gaming community has done an excellent job at standing up to Epic.
If Ashen is any indicator (367 days) it will release on or around June 1st 2020.When is Outer Wilds coming to Steam? That's the one game from there I want to play.

Annapurna games are all 12 month exclusive.
they won't be able to make a dent in Steam's place on the market
I'm fine with Annapurna. Their parent company is borderline bankrupt so them taking exclusivity deals to stay afloat is fine with me. Doesn't help that most of their games are really short artsy titles.Yeah Annapurna is the biggest supporter of Epic's moneyhatting tactics. While I can't blame small indies for taking Epic's bags of money, publishers like Annapurna, Private Division and Deep Silver are on my blacklist completely.
I'll say it again. I've never understood why people thought Devolver were 'cool'. They are your Wendy's tier - corporate Twitter account trying to act like a human.
Does anyone feel like the writing is on the wall at this point? While I don't want to rush to conclusions, it seems like EGS is all but done for as this point, at least judging by publisher's and developer's actions. High-profile announcements the likes of which we had 8-9 months ago are all but gone. Public personalities are done trying to pretend it's about the little guys and competition. Even the media is pretty dreadfully silent. The only deals still coming through are those that were likely closed at least half a year from now.
The last, pretty miserable swan song of EGS seems to be "multi-store future" as if they are playing up their legacy while quietly preparing to bury the store.
I have a copy of The Outer Worlds for Epic, but I would rather wait for it to hit Steam... and I don't have an EGS account. If you want it, let me know know either here or DM. It's great to be back with the fam.
I would say you're more an exception than the rule. If Epic's goal was to simply highlight that other stores exist and usable, they're late to the party. Gog, origin, uplay, etc have all had traffic and users for years, that you're just now using them is more indicative of your reliance on steam than of EGS doing anything.To the contrary, I believe they already did. Before Epic bumped into the Steam market, it would have been unthinkable for me to purchase a game outside of the Steam ecosystem. At the end of 2018, I very reluctantly bought Thronebreaker on GOG, because i) I thought it would be exclusive to GOG, and ii) exclusive content in Gwent is unlocked with the GOG version (even to this day, only the GOG version unlocks this content). And here we are, a year later, the landscape has changed: I have played several games on PC Game Pass ; I have purchased Griftlands on EGS (which will unlock the Steam version for free in 2020) ; people are purchasing RDR2 on Rockstart launcher, etc. It is crazy.

If 'making a dent' meant taking a large number of users away from Steam completely, getting them to switch to other stores/Epic's own store outright with moneyhats and not features - their stated goal, then they have utterly failed.
If theyve had any impact it's been behind the scenes and still seems to have had little effect on Valve's market share
Steam have one thoI understand that Open Critic is a neutral party. Just wish that Valve would integrate it without a browser plugin.
I'm convinced they will starting next gen. The first two years of console gens are always slow as fuck, they need something to make up that slowness.It's nice EA is coming back to Steam, but the one I want is Ubi. They actually have singleplayer content I like. I dunno how long their contract with Epic is, but I hope they reach the same conclusion as EA tbh.

Nuclear Throne is one of the free games on EGS next week.
Rami Ismail shilling for Epic finally paid off for him
To be fair, Steam does use Metacritic and I'd rather they exchange that for Opencritic because I feel they're doing more interesting things with their site. Can't give Epic too much stick for putting external reviews on their client, but they definitely do need users reviews.
It'll be a cold day in hell when that happens.
What it means, probably, is if a developer knows their game is shit they can just not allow user reviews. Or if they are review bombed they can just pull them.Tim said the user review section that will come eventually, will be opt-in because of Review Bombing.
OPT-IN
because of Review Bombing...
Is the time machine included in that deal? Or do devs already know they will be review bombed? "Yeah, lets not opt-in into user reviews, Frank said we will do something shitty that gets us review-bombed in the next month."
So... what's the point of having user reviews in such instances?
Steam have one tho
