How is it bad for a game to only be available through a shitty CCP subsidiary’s shitty storefront that no one wants to contaminate their computer with?
Yeah, not a developer or otherwise someone who works in the gaming industry at all, but a deal like that would definitely remind me about what mom always said about deals that sound too good to be true.
I haven't seen anything yet.. they already got some exclusives not on Spotify, but I believe the artists are deciding what platforms they release on. As an end user, all I have noticed so far are improvements to thier android app (Playlists finally, and bringing back the shuffle all feature).
I’m a self proclaimed valve fanboy, I use Linux with proton and wine-ge, and I buy games on the epic store. I try not to have purchasing biases, if the price is good on epic and it’s feature parity with other PC storefronts, I’ll buy it on epic and install with heroic launcher. I’ve only ran across a few games that don’t have feature parity with steam, the biggest being that remnant doesn’t have cloud saves on epic. However, these cases are few and far between and most of the time I’m fine buying on epic.
@ampersandrew Just use Heroic Launcher, you get to enjoy whatever Epic games you have, without having to use their launcher. Plus it works with GOG games as well.
I'll use that for things I already have in my library, either from my Windows days or from giveaways, but I'm not going to spend money in their stores when they don't officially support me as a customer. Unofficial launchers like this could be broken by those storefronts at any time, and they were never guaranteed to work for me. GOG fares better than Epic in this regard, since they do sell Linux games, but I want official cloud saves and automatic updates as well.
Good for the devs who need the money but as a customer Steam just provides more, and if not Steam, GOG is DRM-free and ItchIO enables smallers indies to get their games out there. Epic isn't even on my list of places to buy. The only thing I bought in Epic, funny enough, was Fortnite Save the World, and I didn't get much out of that.
All signs point to that program being a failure for them, which is why the exclusivity offers and announcements started drying up, but I guess this is them trying a revised strategy.
Exclusives are a cancer. At least if you made them, i could somewhat understand. But paying third party developers to not sell their game on certain platforms is stupid.
I just had my first taste of mod power by having to remove spambot comments from this very post… is this some kind of advanced viral marketing for the game?
