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

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.

which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

Yar, me as well.

It doesn’t upset me. It helps me decide which games to avoid wasting my time and money on.

Exclusives of any kind are bullshit marketing ploys, at best.

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.

I can’t think of any examples of the top of my head, but aren’t there some games that should have thrived but we’re heals back by launching as Epic exclusives?

Man, i kinda hate the epic games launcher, it is really crap; but for me games being on epic is not problem, i just use heroic instead, it’s MUCH faster than epic’s slop; what i don’t like is games that for some reason just refuse to work on heroic despite EOS being installed

what is the problem with epic? I like the weekly free games

I’m sure World of Goo 2 will come to Steam someday. I can wait.

Fewer companies are falling for the Epic swindle, which is why Epic is now full on publishing games now.

Valve kills physical ownership of games: I sleep

Games exclusive to Origin: I sleep

Games exclusive to whatever the fuck Blizzard made: I sleep

Games exclusive to Microsoft Store: I sleep

Games exclusive to Epic: REAL SHIT

🧲 time

I’m so salty I STILL won’t buy Satisfactory.
