Snowrunner EGS really bummed me out. Just about as much as Rebel Galaxy Outlaw. By far they're the two biggest cuts for me thus far.
I wouldn't be shocked if they had to manually update it and the one intern they have work on EGS doesn't always have time to update it those 2 hours each week he gets to work on the EGS instead of Fortnight.
This is something that I don't quite understand... So, how would you go about installing them without the client?
You can add them to your account by 'buying' them at epicgames.com. No need to install the client. I'm not sure what you are asking. But if i ever wanted to play those games i can easily install the client.
What a lame reveal. A downgraded version of a almost 4 year old game thats been in multiple bundles and drops to like $7 every few weeks. Who wants this game that doesn’t already own it at this point? No steam market, achievements or workshop is hilariously lame.
well ... they might be giving away Maneater ...
Would be sad if true. Giving away brand new exclusives for free will probably lead to even more people waiting for indie games to become free instead of buying them.
they already did that once with Totally Reliable Delivery Service
You can stop there
I'm afraid this goes further than Epic's store alone. Lots of the pc gamers I personally know have stopped buying indie games. They just wait until they are free on EGS or Game Pass.
I hate to defend Epic on this, but while indeed giving away games devalue them, and does make more people wait for a possible EGS freebie, the problem didn't start with Epic.
But a select few got their bag of gold to the deafening applause of the press, therefore all is well in paradise.
Publishers were reigning it back with increasingly worse discounts and bundles though.I hate to defend Epic on this, but while indeed giving away games devalue them, and does make more people wait for a possible EGS freebie, the problem didn't start with Epic.
It's a mentality that has taken over most PC gamers. Almost no one buys indie games at launch. They wait for a bundle inclusion, or a heavy discount.
People have come to expect these games to be bundled, or discounted, and you have people waiting, in some cases, years and years until a title is bundled, in order to play them. They feel no "need" to pay, and value, the work of most indie developers.
But then, on the opposite side, people keep paying ridiculous prices for any Nintendo titles, even if it's the 10th re-release on an old game.
Why? Among other things, because they created an image that Nintendo titles aren't discounted, so people pay for them, and place more value on them, despite in some cases being old titles, or even re-releases or new ports.
So yeah, Epic may be doing wrong, and acerbating an existing problem, but they surely didn't start it.
Personally, I feel much more pleased about buying an indie title, than supporting a company like Nintendo, who is a multi-billion company, but that's just me.
Also, Epic acts as de facto managers of their brand, product and seems to have the final say in the way other's games are offered to the market if I'm not mistaken.
You're right, Epic didn't start it. Bundles, Steam Sales and Game Pass already convinced many people to wait.I hate to defend Epic on this, but while indeed giving away games devalue them, and does make more people wait for a possible EGS freebie, the problem didn't start with Epic.

I signed on here the other week and saw that this thread was on PAGE FOUR!!!
definitely intentionalno percentages, so can't use that to guess number of owners like with Valve (before they rounded numbers from backend to just one decimal)
It does have tags like Common tho and if you don't have all the common achies, you're scrub.
yup, same ... i don't even get slightly annoyed anymore (like i used to) ... it's just one big shrug from me
Hello, while I haven't been able to find any official comment (still too soon) but as soon as we get any piece of information, I will share it.
Epic funding Reemdy's next project(s) doesnt have any effect over Control because 505 is the publisher and distributor and they decide where its released
chievement service for titles
