Yeah it seems so. Very sad, since Devolver has been pro-consumer for a long time. But their games are rather small so Epic's money must make a huge difference for them.
All EGS exclusive developers (and certain pubs) are on my personal Blacklist. Even Obsidian. I loved Obsidian but their last games were mediocre for my gaming tastes. I had 50 times more fun with Pathfinder Kingmaker and 100 times more fun with D:OS2 than with Pillars of Eternity. So I can live with it.
version (currently exclusive for Switch and iOS)??
So they reached out between July 27th and August 1st.
that isn't their goal in the first place
Good on him. The poaching Epic is indulging itself in is sickening. The basic premise shown here is to take away games from the platform from where users have expressed their interest in, at the last second when the userbase is ripe. This person has my respect for giving a damn about it all.
I think Obsidian had nothing to do with the decision to go EGS exclusive, that was Private Division. This publisher is on my blacklist as well.
Im going to buy this tonight. Was on my list to get at some point but will pick it up now based on that post.
I wasn't even aware of the game before. Reviews are mentioning it's similar to Little Nightmares. Welp, SOLD! I'll be picking this up in the next few days.
i was already going to buy it anyway ... but this only makes it better
I'm perfectly fine with devs doing this. It will help the mindshare that exclusivity deals aren't what a significant part of the pc gaming community wants.
OMG! Steam wasn't perfect when it launched! Why do you expect new technology like Cloud Saves to work in 2019?!
I wonder if they sell computers with "preloaded" EGS accounts as a way of adding value. Like, "buy our computer, get all these games for free!" (and without disclosing that they actually just snatched the free EGS stuff)Seen at a local department store

r/games and r/gaming have different opinion about r/pcgaming. According to them r/pcgaming and r/pcmasterrace is just a toxic circlejerk hivemind place.
They're just jealous. There's a silver lining though, they help their favorite megacorp to stay afloat, no matter the cost.
Shitty deal for the costumer.
True. many of them didn't understand why we stood up against the Windows Store as well. I mean, it has achievements, so why complaining?
"Programs" are obsolete; they are called "apps" nowadays

Tbh I wouldn't mind "losing" the master race thing to EGS fanboys. It's always been so cringeworthy to me.

Where do these guys keep coming from? I mean, this this not an exception; ALL of the media are reporting this kind of nonsense (with a few exceptions like Alice from RPS and John from DSO).
The famous land of bribery and selfishness.
It's pretty clear that Epic are giving developers figures that may suggest their game will sell less, but not significantly less, to the point where they break even compared to Steam or actually make more money. Whether those figures are cherry-picked and hold any water is another matter.But 88% * 0 is still 0
Stop being rational.But 88% * 0 is still 0
Why yes of course.
Everyone just casually forgot that 30% is pretty much industry standard.
The really interesting part is going to be when steam is getting "Definitive Edition" / "GOTY" versions of titles, maybe even with completely new features such as workshop support or leaderboards and seeing how EGS purchasers are going to feel about being stuck on "vanilla" edition with no plans to bring those features over to that version.
That would be the sweetest thing to see. I hope Epic quickly gets a reputation for having inferior versions of games.
