There are 2 main characters in Syndicate, so Epic/Ubi erased the woman for some odd reason:
Torn Banner is still heavily advertising Chivalry 2 on Steam. How low can you fall 
Has nothing to do with EGS. It is the standard blurb on all stores.

They probably desperate, Mordhau came swinging and now Bannerlord will probably burry the corpse.
I completely forgot Chivalry 2 even exists...
@AC Syndicate: I really liked that game. A good chunk of my liking it was due to Evie Frye. London as a setting helped, too.

That's fine, it's a surprise. They make you believe you're playing an irredeemable asshole, while in reality you're only using him during his exclusive missions and playing the rest of the game as the best protagonist in the entire series.There are 2 main characters in Syndicate, so Epic/Ubi erased the woman for some odd reason:
And then there's the DLC where you don't control Jacob at all. If only the whole game was like that...
Whatever that picture is: My AV is reporting that it belongs to some kind of phishing website.
Maybe a false positive, I really don't know. Just reporting because my AV is really not happy about me trying to open the picture or anything from the site.

Yeah, it is to keep the steam community "informed".

Weird, it's just a pic of the 2 main characters in Syndicate, found it just by googing "Syndicate Evie and Jacob".
This is some nice alternative reality fanfic, at this point, to me at least, PCGamer is getting some nice bags of "incentive" from Epic.
I mean, props to Epic for going over Ubi's head and looking into making better copy if they do it

"As PCgamer's connection to journalism subsides, what's next?"
People stopped caring and realized there are tons of other games to play while waiting. That Steam library is more than just a collection, it's a collection... of games.
I knew Tyler wrote this just by looking at the title. Pc Gamer is a complete joke nowadays.
It did subside. People are accepting EGS exclusives as inevitable and are just buying other games instead.

I don't follow PC Gamer much, but Tom Senior (editor) and Alex Wiltshire (contributor) are always excellent on the Crate & Crowbar podcast, the only PC focused podcast I keep up with on a regular basis.
Of course the anger with the EGS is subsiding when the very thing people were angry about, that is, exclusive deals have begun to subside.
I don't even remember what the last big exclusive annoucnement was, Red Dead Redemption 2?
This is doubly so the case when the exclusives they took, such as Metro, Factorio, Operencia, RDR2 and Hades have begun appearing on other platforms now.
This isn't people accepting exclusivity, this is exclusivty starting to disappear again.
Also, fucking lol at "PlayStation exclusives being associated with the EpicGamesStore because of Shenmue"
Literally no one associates Shenmue with the playstation brand, what weed is he smoking?

This is a very peculiar angle to take. It's like they are desperately looking for positive talking points and this is the best they could come up with.
Sweeney must be pissed. Not only do most people wait until his precious exclusives are out on Steam before they buy them, his latest moneyhats are of such a low profile that EGS has disappeared from the spotlight.
Well if you were following Shenmue 3 controversy discussion, you'll find a lot of them. The major reason was because Shenmue 3 was announced by Sony at E3 2015.
Don't count them out yet. AAA exclusives like BL3 and Metro Exodus gave them the highest sales and revenue. My guess is that Epic will announce more AAA and less indies exclusives this year. A partnership with Sony seems very likely imo.
Not trying to ruin your good hope, but we are talking about a multi billion company here that has loads of money to burn. They have enough cash to buy popular studios if their money hatting fails.
They're welcome to try. Many customers have already proven that they can't be swayed by moneyhats.

Exactly. With over 350 games on my backlog and another 300 games on my wishlist, it's very easy for me to keep ignoring money hatted games.

That's the spirit! On a personal note, it's great seeing you in a good mood, I was really sad last year when I realized that Epic's bullshit had affected your enjoyment of gaming.
Thanks m8! You and many other wonderful people on this forum helped me a lot to achieve this.
That's what I've been saying the past year and you gerbils kept ignoring it :VExactly. With over 350 games on my backlog and another 300 games on my wishlist, it's very easy for me to keep ignoring money hatted games.
Yeah, it's strange because David Cage games (which I think is exclusive there?) would have been better example to give.
As a Dreamcast fan, this triggers me greatly.
I can see that as well. PC might not be a competitor to Playstation to some degree but Steam could be another matter. Horizon Zero Dawn exclusive to EGS ? Yeah that does not sound outrageous.
I dearly hope they won't go down that path. PS Launcher + Steam + EGS makes the most sense really.
You've been right all this time. But it was hard to see for me, because I was deeply disappointed to see several of my favorite devs going EGS exclusive. Many people actually defending Epic and/or supporting their store made it even worse. Stepping out of these useless discussions eventually solved this issue for me.
I know it's just games, and there are much more important things in my life. But gaming has been my passion for over 30 years, especially pc gaming with it's many perks because of it's open nature. Multi billion companies trying to change this open nature really piss me off for some reason; I felt the same when Microsoft tried to push the Windows Store and UWP as the new standard for pc gaming.
I hope Epic fails as hard with their current strategy as the Windows Store did. This could force Epic into actually trying to be better than Steam, resulting in real competition between storefronts on pc. Because what's happening now is no competition at all; just capitalism in it's worst form.
I hope Epic fails in a lot more than their "current strategy". I only briefly played Fortnite a long time ago so I haven't really been kept up-to-date on its evil-ness, but this video (which I'm sure many of you have seen) is a good rundown of it.
And what's sad is what Epic is doing with the season shit and time limited purchaseable content is considered better than the constant lootbox shite that Sweeney stuck the heel into at DICE the other day. But it's still horrible.
Ultimately, the shittiness of Fortnite is enabling them to behave shittily in the PC gaming space too.

well he's specifically talking about the trello board ... so it's gonna be egs-related
which also means that's probably why there haven't been any egsclusive announcements lately - they're saving it all for a big blowout
GDC would be a good time to announce they're opening up for submissions.
I'll say this again: It makes no sense to preemptively assume that a game will be moneyhatted by Epic. That sort of speculation only serves in upsetting the people who are looking forward to it, possibly for no reason. I would urge everyone to try and avoid it.
