For me, its like it didn't have a release at all. There are allot more game I want to play of years ago. No fomo.
Yeah I don't really buy pc games before they fall below a certain price point, anyway. So I don't really care about these limited exclusive periods.
I wonder how much these deals are paying off for epic. Outside of exclusives and the weekly free games I've basically never even thought of buying a game on EGS. Definitely the worst launcher experience. Easily ignorable.
Not even just ignorable. I literally don't even hear about them until they release on steam and people talk smack in steam reviews. It might as well not exist unless it's on Steam or GOG.
Apparently Alan Wake 2 came out on PC awhile ago, and I literally had no idea until someone bitched about it on Lemmy, lol.
I don't buy hardware until it drops below a certain price point, so when I finally have a PC capable enough, the game price is coincidentally also lower.
