Despite what journos and EGS defenders have said, Darq dev is satisfied with the first week sales.
What really fucking pissed me off was that some of them were implying that the Darq dev was catering to toxic fanboys, despite his statement not being toxic at all. I wonder why they’re try so hard to throw all PC players into the gamergate bucket. Between that and that fucking stupid Kotaku article about sex games, their bias is so fucking evident.Whether you take EGS exclusivity or not, handle yourself with some grace, humility, empathy and kindness.
The Darq developer did all of the above, and the so-called “Friends of the Devs” threw him under the bus.
I haven’t bought it yet because I’m broke (new job, trying to survive on a reduced payslip from my last job), but I will do when I have some liquidity. I’m glad the game has sold well.

Thanks! And yes, I am. You’re very kind by the way, I appreciate it.1. Congratulations on the new job
2. You're from the UK? At least according to your steam id thing

I think it’s just bad faith shitposting, rather than some deep seated jealousy, though there’s probably some people like that.
Most just want to wage console wars.
Our focus during Early Access will be on making Hades the best game possible. If you’re the sort of player who’s open to and interested in experiencing a game like ours take shape over time, you’ll be able to take part in its journey on the Epic Games store. If you’d prefer to wait until the game is 100% complete, we expect Hades will eventually be available on a variety of platforms, once Early Access is complete.
I would not be looking too much into this. The Steam release happens 1 year after the EGS release, it is just a matter of exclusivity contract.
I have added info in my message. Today is their "studio birthday".
doesn't change anything about my reply, though ... in fact - it only makes me think i'm actually even more right
would've been the perfect time to release it today ... studio anniversary, big sale ... makes perfect sense
If not for the exclusivity agreement, the game would have been released last December. Or today.
At least Epic won't snatch Hades from Steam if we add it to wishlist. Right?
Next free game has Celeste.
Epic also use Steam wishlist to find another title to grabA reminder that Valve uses wishlists to gauge interest, and as a metric on what games they promote (or not).
That's why every game that's announced these days (or crowdfunded) keeps asking that, if someone's interested, that you add them to your wishlists.
So it’s not suspicious to you that the devs explicitly said the game wouldn’t hit Steam for at least a year and a half but are now trying to get it on Steam as soon as they’re legally allowed?I would not be looking too much into this. The Steam release happens 1 year after the EGS release, it is just a matter of exclusivity contract.
Celeste and Inside are great, do download everyone
Will do, but not from EGS.
Free is free tho. Tim can pay for all of our copies!
Deleted my account during their first sale, to send a message. Not planning on creating a new one, not even for free games.
Once I take a stance, I stick to it.
Tim and me have that in common.
Eh, I think that he dislikes Steam more than he likes moneyIdk about that, Tim's only stance is that he likes money.
Idk about that
Free is free tho. Tim can pay for all of our copies!
No need to. If you want to download from EGS, go ahead.
I don't want to, but I'm also not perusing or trying to stop you.
Once Epic acknowledge that third party exclusivity and buying nearly finished games is shit I may rethink my stance. Till then: Epic is dead to me and nothing they offer will change that.
That's a long ass sale.... What ever happened to the fight against the devaluation of games...
must be selling really well ...
