yeah really hope that by the time it releases on Steam , its quircks and problems will be sorted out .... tried like 2 hours on gamepass last month but still kinda gave up as it felt like Early Access more than anything

Why bother? Community will do that for them in time for Steam release. That seems to be the attitude for a lot of these mid-tier PC only EGS-exclusive developers. At least some developers are honest enough to call their titles Early Access.Same, it felt like they'd done no real testing or balancing.

Didn't they claim that Epic's money would result in a better and more polished game?![]()
I wonder if only DOSgaming will present this angle![]()
Epic Games now accuses SuperData of inaccurate data, but praised them last month for their report
An Epic Games representative told GamesIndustry, SuperData does not and has not ever had access to Epic's Fortnite revenue data.www.dsogaming.com
LOL

That is something I did not expect. To have reselling keys generated for different stores. Gotta keep an eye on that one when I buy something..Fanatical and GMG are now selling Metro Exodus steam keys, Humble still has Epic ones.

Epic and Humble have a partnership. Devs (except Take Two) can only sell EGS games directly from EGS or through Humble. Steam keys can obviously be sold everywhere, so Deep Silver jumped on that and is now selling Metro Exodus at their regular 3rd party sellers the only way they’re allowed to, with Steam keys.How does stuff like this work? Is Humble getting keys directly from the publisher? Is Deep Silver exchanging keys because people are more likely to buy Steam Keys over EGS keys?
That would be interesting...

Either the stores requested Steam keys, or the publisher switched them over knowing there's more demand for Steam keys.
Regardless, another big L for Epic. People just don't want this fucking store
I don't even care about moneyhats anymore. EGS has taught me a valuable lesson about FOMO: it's bullshit.
Exclusives rely on people's fear of missing out. Once you discard it, once you're happy to wait a year or accept you may never play the game, it becomes complete ineffective as a sales tactic.
That is very true. There is no game i need on day one and what with all the patches and goty editions and dlc i find you are so much better off waiting for a bit. You get a cheaper price, a more stable/patched up game and more content.

I'm just playing other games instead

It has hurt my gaming a little bit as there are games exclusive to EGS that are right up my alley like Satisfactory, Control, Blands 3, Bloodroots, Outer Wilds and What the Golf.
I have to say, that's an impressively broad taste in game genres. Kudos! I've never been able to truly enjoy management games.
I like pretty much everything except for MOBA.![]()
I'm totally fine with it if that means no Epic exclusives.So... uh... did we get any "exciting news" from Epic at PAX, or what?
Devolver announced Sludge Life for EGS and thats about it.So... uh... did we get any "exciting news" from Epic at PAX, or what?

exciting i know
GDC's been cancelled but that does not mean there won't be GDC news. You don't need to be physically there to write a press release.to be fair - i'm pretty sure Tim meant GDC ... that's what they did last year, remember? they had that "conference" where they bragged about Metro selling so well etc.
I don't want to give too much money to Epic.
The problem is I really don't like waiting when the game is technically available on PC. That's why I caved in and bought Detroit, Control or The Outer World.then don'tall you have to do is wait a little
I'm still worried about Horizon Zero Dawn being Epic exclusive (6 months to a full year) though.

I'm not even going to pretend I won't do the same for Horizon Zero Dawn. That's a day one purchase even on EGS.
No, I want to support the devs to the best of my ability even if that means enriching Epic to some degree.You didn't use game pass for Outer Worlds like the rest of us?![]()

Wouldn't playing TOW through gamepass be supporting them more? Take Two gets your money on EGS, But MS would get a cut of the money if it went to GamePass.No, I want to support the devs to the best of my ability even if that means enriching Epic to some degree.
Basically if a game is available on Steam that's where my purchase will be, like Death Stranding but in case of EGS exclusivity then I reluctantly buy it there.
Also, unless a game sells past the advance then 100% goes to Epic so you're not helping the developer at all.Wouldn't playing TOW through gamepass be supporting them more? Take Two gets your money on EGS, But MS would get a cut of the money if it went to GamePass.
MS owns Obsidian so they'd be the ones bankrolling Obsidian in the future, I doubt a lot if any of the profits of TOW are going directly to Obsidian.
Ah okay.
Personally, I don't care about the dev cut and such, when I wanna buy something I think about what I get out of it, not the developer. Might be egoistic of me, but Im the customer, so I come before the devs.
