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.

    If a game is only released on Epic, it hasn’t been released yet. Its just in some weird alpha state until it has broader release.

    Know what happens when I find out a game is Epic exclusive? I don’t buy it for a year… Sometimes ever. Enjoy the Epic money kings, hope it’s worth it.

    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 haven’t created an epic account even for the free games I don’t care how many awesome games they give out for free. Fuck Epic

    Epic supports third party launchers

    I think Steam is the only platform I avoid that works on Linux

    I hate when companies inconvenience me while trying to disrupt a near-monopoly by my benign benefactors.

    I tried GTA5 when I made an account there. The game was given free. Didn’t play for long though, and I dislike the idea of having more than Steam. (I have GOG for Sims but I don’t use that either)

    I tried Rocket League at work. It is fun and I’d like to continue at home…but opening up that Epic Store kinda is a turn-off for the deal.

    I guess, Epic Games sales cuts seems attractive for multiplatform games with microtransaction made with Unreal Engine…

    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.
