No EGS Halo no buy. Stupid Microsoft can't know a good deal when they see it, they'll go bankrupt within 5 years mark my words.

oh wow, is this real world?
like that shitty world with epic ruining PC gaming?

Now that Master Chief is here, the next logical step is Mario.
I just don't understand some of these developers, do they even ask to see any playerbase stats for EGS or just take a pile of money and at that point don't even care if their games are actually played by anyone or not? NDAs and everything, yes, so they can't tell us themselves but I think at least Epic would be screaming from the rooftops if they had any even slightly promising sales statistics to showcase, but they don't do anything of the sort outside Fortnite userbase talk. What happens to all the sequels (or just the next projects by the developers) if Epic is not footing their bills any more by that point, who's going to care about them if only a fraction of people played their last products on EGS? I can understand how it's a nice deal for some small time developers that were likely going down if some super niche product failed to attract enough fans but some of these games had the potential to be relative to their category hits. Even if Epic keeps funding, wasn't their goal to get them to as many like-minded players' hands as possible and stay indie and do their thing rather than just work for a publisher?

money is powerful motivator. If Epic covers all fees, who cares if majority won't even get to play it.
Wow after reading the fuck up with egs and crowdfunded game to see halo on PC and Microsoft just going to steam, never would have I expected that but quite glad about it. I get best of both worlds, the two gaming accounts I care about, steam and Xbox.

Wow, did not expect that!
Incredible!
Halo MCC on Steam? The creator of XCOM takes a dump on it's most enthusiastic supporters? Microsoft is the "good guy" for today? I'm sooooo confused by this timeline 
Actually it probably makes a ton of sense to put in on Steam specially if they are doing a staggered release. You get the first one, really like it and already is on a Xbox Live account. It will be tempting to just get Game Pass for the rest.
And I'm guessing Sweeney is calling someone at MS right now to make an offer

what times. we needed timfoil sweeney so that valve and ms are joining together to form an alliance against epic (thats my headcanon now)
(thats my headcanon now)
lol I kinda hate Halo but wishlisted it just for the sake of it not being yet another EGS exclusive
I didn't watch, any info about the release date?
Combine Valve and MS, the two most hated things on ERA, and the Epic-shillforce gonna step it up even further. Can't wait.what times. we needed timfoil sweeney so that valve and ms are joining together to form an alliance against epic
yeah i have no interest whatsoever in halo (to be fair i only played a bit of the first one on pc) but i would've bought it already if i could.
wtf is this timeline even.
Tim Moneyhat Sweeny out there pulling down games that people literally invested in, and Microsoft deciding to support "PC choice."
wtf

After that earlier joke from 343 Industries about getting pizzas, if Halo MCC was released on PC:
Sergey retweeted the Borderlands 3 teased so I think that hints at it being on EGS. Just have to wait to see if it's exclusive or not.
Microsoft giving a shit about PC players the same time as Epic going out of their way to piss them off.
What reality am I in.

We got sent to Earth-Zero, home of Bizzaro Microsoft.
I mean, I care more about Fable and Phantom Dust than I do about Fortnite, so I'm cool with this.
...Those aren't happening...

Whatever games it includes, I'm hoping it will also see a release on PC.
I'm a huge fan of the series.

Figured I'd post this here, since I'm not sure if the shitstorm is worth it posting on ERA.
I think a reason so many outlets are defending Epic, is that they actually have press accounts for their launcher, and if you get one you get access to EVERY game on the storefront.
Not gonna say that is the reason that folks are defending it, but I'd be shocked if it wasn't part of the problem here.

Firstly, I am SUPER excited for Halo on Steam! I already have an XBL account from a long time ago. I hope there is at least Co-op cross-play. I would love to play Halo with my little brother again. (but he only has xbox, while I have only PC)

On the other hand, being a pain to tag can have it's upsides.

Yeah, the "history" part is such a load of shit and I absolutely don't trust the staff over there at all now. Making up stuff like that... it's ridiculous. My ban is only a week + a day depending on timezones. When I get back I'm just gonna stop posting anywhere that isn't the OT or a community I'm already known in. Even then I'm just gonna keep my head low. It's not worth fighting misinformation or trolls anymore, not when the one to get punished is the one actually trying to help.
Eh if it's really really annoying I can change my username to just Echo like on Era. The cross/dagger can be made with Alt+0134 on a keyboard with numpad. I'm not even religious, so the crosses serve no purpose. but the Evangelion nerd in me likes religious iconography just for the show of it lol.yeah, no kidding ... i have to copy and paste the cross thingy each time i want to tag Echo

Luckily these people are not journalists, whose integrity means sth.
Press account on EGS shouldn't mean that though since they could have press accounts on Steam also if they inquired properly. But it seems some don't even know this is a thing (Idk if it was here or elsewhere someone didn't know), still I imagine the bigger media are well aware and have had one for many years now. Maybe they just like the attention, kind of like how they all hate Nintendo since it's been bypassing them with things like Nintendo Direct and what not since the Wii days, they've taken Steam for granted rather than still appreciate all it does so they go to whoever is promising them shiny new stuff.
Mine works, even with all the updates the functions to add games have always remained intact, when did it happen and would the likes of IGN lose access? Either way then the big media have publisher contacts for keys and likely wish to maintain those relationships too rather than bundle it all under EGS (if it's like Steam accounts then they don't give access to pre-release stuff or anything, just launch day access, though there had been special events like a Day of Defeat; Source press preview I took part in so the capability was there on Steam also and I know publishers give keys to add early press game branches etc). Dunno.

The problem is more likely that the gaming press is not made up of dedicated journalists, but made up of underqualified, and admittedly underpaid, writers who are often leveraging their positions to get into the industry that they're covering.
Add in some of modern news outlet's penchant for "hot takes" to drive clicks, some misappropriation of sociopolitical issues, and a few bad but genuinely held opinions, and you have the mess we're in.
Anyone got a link to the moment they make the steam reveal?
After Lawbreakers, Cliffy B be seeking money, you know Epic got his back :V
There is a konami arcade classics collextion rated as well.Has this been mentioned already?

If there's a Konami arcade collection, gimme some of that sweet bemani goodness
Isn't it because some games from there are made on Unreal?Just noticed something when I browse the 'Partners' page on China Hero Project website...
What's all this positive talk about steam in here?
Huh, you're right. I only associate that logo with the store, somehow.
Lost Soul Aside was one of the CHP games chosen, and I'm almost certain that Bing developed it in UE4.Just noticed something when I browse the 'Partners' page on China Hero Project website...
Looks like a bunch of other development stuff like Unity and Criware as well.
Legendary saga is coming to pc! Or should it be continuing on pc.
I have waited Halo 3 so long to be on pc.
As a first time Halo player i am lookong forward to seeing what the big fuss is about this franchise.
Single player wise that is.
Single player wise that is.
So I think its extremely rad that Halo MCC is coming to PC, but they way they worded that about releasing it over time makes me wonder how much they are gonna charge for all this.
I don't think its gonna be $60 get all the games and campaigns with how they worded that. It sounds more like pay some amount get a couple games and then buy the others as DLC. Not sure how I feel about that.

The world needs more Wallace and Gromit.What's all this positive talk about steam in here?
OP
Don't read too much into that as 80% of the games from that project are made in Unreal Engine 4 and they have been assisting the devs to improve their skills.Just noticed something when I browse the 'Partners' page on China Hero Project website...
Well helloyeah, it's happening ... this time for real
and InquisitorAles said there's gonna be even more surprises soon ... apparently
