The Outer Worlds goes Epic Games Store-exclusive (also Windows Store)

[raz3r]

nah, he means a guarantee the game will released on the platform once there's an agreement and arrangements have been made, with no delay, to save from the situation going on now where games are being poached for exclusivity deals

Exactly, Steam is pretty much providing advertising and a community hub for free, people who see the game on the store may add it to their wishlist and when it disappears they'll blame Valve.

Valve sat on the top for years doing fuck all, maybe now they'll actually start doing something.

I kinda agree with this though it's not like they've done nothing, they just didn't focus their effort on things that actually mattered, not even once. For example, a proprietary engine, look where Epic is with Unreal and then compare it to Valve and Source 2, no wonder they're looking to rely on Unity for future projects.

After recent fiasco with steam's policies, the idea of stores poaching devs away from steam tickles my genitals.

Yeah, perhaps they'll start using their money to secure their own exclusives and eliminate every independent store that doesn't have infinite money to bribe the devs.

Or they could actually fix steam releases (people who bought JA2 on Steam still can't review it) and stick to their policies instead of flip-flopping like Ian.

First Artifact, now this.

Gaben is finished.

 

[Reinhardt]

How about enabling reviews for games "from 2020"?

 

[AW8]

Shouldn't there be a Codex news article about this? I had to skim back a few pages to find confirmation of what suddenly got everyone angry.

Implying I'm gonna wait a year to get it from Steam. Lmao you cucks. I like to have all of my games in one place, together with the chat system I use the most: Steam. There is no reason for Epic Games store to exist. It has no functionality. There is no competitiveness, they literally bribe developers to squash it. This is the only reason they would release such an unfinished piece of shit. It's an undeserved Chinese money grabbing scheme.

 

[thesheeep]

Honestly don't care much about this.
The game was never promised to be on Steam at release, or was it?

This seems as legit to me as Satisfactory. *shrugs*

It has been available as an upcoming title on Steam since it was announced, it's the third most wishlisted game on Steam right now.

Lol, at least they dont ban me for posting that picture detailing what exactly epic store steals. They silently delete it instead, oh well.

They're probably thinking they made me mad for banning me, but they only made me feel proud by calling me a pirate. Who doesn't want to be a fucking pirate?

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Outer Worlds subreddit had to sticky a thread to tell users to not promote piracy

It literally had a Steam logo in its announcement trailer.

With the indie games it makes more sense, like I'm sure Frogwares is happy about the knowledge they won't go bankrupt if Sinking City flops and maybe that's worth lower potential sales for a while. But Obsidian doesn't need the fuckin money, fuck em

Come to think of it, wasn't outer worlds #1 a few weeks ago? Did that many people remove it already?

 

[Night Goat]

I don't know why anyone would have hopes for a Westcuck game in 2019, but if you must play this do not give them money for it. Do not put Chinese malware on your computer so you can give them money, and do not reward them for cucking you by giving them money when it does release on Steam. Remember, the devs have already gotten paid once by Epic.

Serves them right for pre-ordering.

 

[Ismaul]

GOG or bust for me.

Do not suffer the DRM to live. Do not allow it to multiply. Do not tolerate exclusives. No mercy.

Gonna be a hard year for GOG man. They're getting shafted big time with those exclusives, getting next to no new AAA / AA releases for a year until the Epic experiment falls falt on its face... (Let's hope)

Wishlisting is not the same as preordering.

 

[Black]

It's wishful pre-ordering.

You don't say. Now if you were to guess, what % of the gaming market Epic has?

Can't help but feel the hypocrisy of people who hate epic store but are OK with steam games loaded up with Denuvo

There's no hypocrisy here, people hate Steam and Epic Store for different reasons. Epic Store has a bunch of other extra nasty shit that you see only on consoles. What next, pay a subscription to access their launcher for online gaming? I would expect this to happen soon.

 

[Kutulu]

You know it's possible to despise both Steam and Epic, right?

Yeah i do, on one i buy games reluctantly and on the other i dont, at all.
