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

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

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

        Free isn’t worth it on Epic

          Okay, but epic still pays the devs for every free game sold during those promos so I still take them even if I don’t ever play them.

      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

      Can I say as a non PC gamer who follows game news. PC gamers all have different machines, isn’t optimising the games extra costly? In addition, I can imagine the annoyance of getting bad reviews on steam because some Dingus is trying to play the game on a 10 year old PC.

      Also, something like 30% of PC gamers pirate their games, so that doesn’t sound like an attractive market to me.

        What does this post have to do with anything when it launched on PC the same day as PS5 and XSX? As well, a 10 year old pc would likely have a GTX 1070 or better and that’s enough to run the game just fine?

        So you are advocating against user driven reviews the alternative which tends to be corporate relations driven reviews? You don’t want consumers to have a voice or user based resources?

        PC is the largest single platform right now. Even if 30% pirate the game, there are more copies sold for the typical game on PC than PlayStation.
