Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy... and then it's only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can't it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It's so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic... which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.
which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.
Yar, me as well.
Hey sailor... ;)
Hoist the sales!
For what reason? Why is Epic so bad? I'm not fishing for a reaction. I genuinely don't know why most people here hate Epic
Copied from a comment I posted in this thread:
I got exactly one free epic game (subnautica) that I uninstalled and bought immediately the day I couldn't play the game because I lost Internet and there was no goddamned offline mode.
Epic store is shovelware, and I can't believe the amount of people who defend a 4th rate store comparing itself to the gold standard that can't even offer basic functionality expected of a modern platform.
Pretty sure this is a screenshot of the upcoming game Infinity Nikki and OP must have checked before they added the windows launcher for preload.
I hate when companies inconvenience me while trying to disrupt a near-monopoly by my benign benefactors.
It doesn't upset me. It helps me decide which games to avoid wasting my time and money on.
Yeah, and it’s a nightmare to use with Steam link. The last epic exclusive I bought was The Expanse, but adding it as a non-Steam game to play with the link app completely screwed up the license check and locked you out of everything but the first episode.
Never again.
Exclusives of any kind are bullshit marketing ploys, at best.
I can't think of any examples of the top of my head, but aren't there some games that should have thrived but we're heals back by launching as Epic exclusives?
~~Metro Exodus was like 5 bucks just a few months after launch. Since it's the sequel to a very successful series, I have to imagine it did terrible.~~
Edit: Nope. It was one of the best selling games of all time.
