I think a lot of PC players are waiting on the steam release.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 40 points 8 months ago

I know I am. Epic is just junk compared to steam.

[-] stardust@lemmy.ca 19 points 8 months ago

Or epic giveaway. I'll spend actual money if it is on Steam or GOG.

It me. Only thing on my epic account is free games and even then I don’t think I’ve ever booted up a single one of them

[-] ThatGuy@sh.itjust.works -1 points 8 months ago

No physical release on consoles and exclusive to Epic on PC. Gee I wonder why they haven’t made their money back.

Physical releases wouldn't make a difference on console, not being on steam and gog is a missed opportunity

[-] Bosht@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

I saw like no marketing for this game at all, and on top of that didn't they restrict it to Epic? Definitely a dumb choice. Shame because I want Control 2 to happen. Hopefully this doesn't affect that.

[-] tb_@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Epic funded part of development. Without the EGS restriction we likely wouldn't have had the game at all. Or, at least, not in the current state.

The marketing has been pretty weird. Lots at release, then basically nothing.

If you want to sell something in a competitive landscape, even high schoolers know this simple fact in one easy step...

Release on steam/GoG or go bust being an EGS exclusive. I’m not compelled enough to buy from that shitty platform ever. And I’m not starved for content. I’m having fun w/ Helldivers 2

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

I still havent finished it

"Gotta release on Steam or you're fucked."

Because it's a monopoly.

"HOW DARE YOU?!"
