Community PC Gaming Show E3 2019 | Out of EGS Access 2020

[Xiaomi]

Shenmue was cool almost 20 years ago.

 

[Xiaomi]

But it's, well, been almost 20 years.

 

[sauce]

shenmue died so yakuza could live

 

[ZKenir]

is shenmue the first game going fully EGS exclusive after leaving steam?

 

[Koz]

apprently Griftlands alpha is the only exclusive part: Griftlands :: Griftlands Reboot, Alpha and Roadmap

 

[Koz]

it's going into EA on Steam

 

[m_dorian]

No Randy? Has he cured his ego?

 

[ZKenir]

@sauce,I'm fine with that

 

[m_dorian]

Unscrew Klei then.

 

[Cordelia]

2K put leash on randy probably

 

[lashman]

watch that alpha "magically" last 12 months

 

[ISee]

Nah, I feel sorry for the people who waited for Shenmu 3. Maybe not my cup of tea, but I also love some niche, games that didn't stand the test of time

 

[Ex-User (307)]

is shenmue the first game going fully EGS exclusive after leaving steam?

isn't Satisfactory full exclusive? or is that timed too

 

[JMTHEFOX]

Looks like the stream has technical issues. I just saw it blacked out for a few moments

 

[JMTHEFOX]

At least on Twitch

 

[Line]

Infinite progression and shit, this Borderlands seems to be poison designed specifically for me

 

[Cordelia]

Satisfactory is full exclusive atm

 

[Ganado]

yeah ... crowdfunding (for games at least) is dead after today

Not for porn games!

 

[Deleted member 113]

Yeah, so Ys Net (shenmue III) posted a rather lovely update on Kickstarter, that said "Great news! We are now EGS exclusive!", and not much more, and things are going as well as you can expect (there are already pages of complaints)

 

[ZKenir]

I only ever kickstarted lewd VN

 

[rybrad]

I am for sure done backing games. I have backed well over 100 games as I like supporting indie devs but it's just not worth the risk or hassle anymore.

 

[Ex-User (307)]

Yeah, so Ys Net (shenmue III) posted a rather lovely update on Kickstarter, that said "Great news! We are now EGS exclusive!", and not much more, and things are going as well as you can expect (there are already pages of complaints)

the unanimity of complaints is heartwarming and hilarious

 

[Deku]

So Griftland only stays exclusive as alpha?

 

[m_dorian]

Yeah, I agree with Isee. I would not have liked it if it happened to me so I feel for the people that feel pissed with Shenmue.

 

[Xiaomi]

These skits, woof

 

[Hektor]

At this point every developers KNOWS what they are signing up for, so theres zero reason to have any sympathy

 

[curi0usBystander]

As with our previous games, we will be running an Alpha period in order to iron out the kinks. We have partnered with Epic to bring the Alpha of Griftlands to the Epic Game Store exclusively for one year, and will launch in Early Access on Steam next June.

 

[Deku]

So a full year before we can buy it on Steam then

 

[Xiaomi]

A one-year alpha followed by early access next june?

 

[lashman]

told ya the alpha will "magically" last 12 months

 

[Koz]

Griftlands looks like it needs a lot more time in the oven too

 

[Deku]

15 bucks for Griftland seems a nice price. It's probably going to increase once it leaves alpha

 

[Cordelia]

Most of the Epic deals happened before the massive backlash I think

 

[Xiaomi]

I thought alpha meant "content complete." If there's a year left, followed by early access...

 

[Koz]

alpha usually means feature complete, beta is content complete

 

[m_dorian]

Lol screw tripwire.

 

[ZKenir]

Cordelia, do they even care about the backlash after they are shoved a bag of cash in their hands?

 

[Kylac]

this e3 sure has sucked

 

[Xiaomi]

ahh thanks Koz

 

[Amzin]

So their plan is to have a pre-early-access version of the game for a year on a platform with no feedback mechanisms which will incur a lot of negative coverage and then still only release in EA on Steam which has its' own negative perspectives

 

[Cordelia]

ZKenir, No if I judge from Coffee Stain and Idontrememberwhattheirnamebutitsafightinggame response on Twitter

 

[Deku]

In June of next year, we will be releasing Griftlands into Early Access on Steam. Anyone who purchased on Epic will get the game on Steam for free, and vice versa

 

[Deku]

So buying it on Epic will give you a Steam copy

 

[Deleted member 113]

Yeah, they can keep that free Steam copy

 

[lashman]

yup

 

[AHA-Lambda]

yeah no chance

 

[JMTHEFOX]

That chair tho

 

[Koz]

ooh is that another overpriced and uncomfortable gaming chair?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

i can wait a year and give steam the money

 

[Deku]

Terraria!
