Mr.Vic20 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 That's it, that's the tipping point. They have bought their way to the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 So, every pc game is now an epic store exclusive. Yeah, glad I don’t boycot things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finaljedi Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 This just means I’ll wait a year for some games, forget about others and never purchase them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I'll pass. If for some reason I can't wait until it hits steam or a different digital distributor I'll just get it elsewhere and then buy it once the year is up. But more than likely I just won't get this game at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokt Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Don't think I can say no to Control and The Outer Worlds. I wish I would have said no to Metro Exodus, but here I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaethos Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I have no particular love for any storefront and they certainly haven't earned any sort of loyalty from me, though I'm fond of GOG's no DRM policy. I'll go where the games I want are. The Outer Worlds and Control are two of the games I'm most looking forward to, so I'll buy them wherever they are. In this case it looks like I'll be buying from Epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I mean, I'd fucking hate it, but man wouldn't it be something if Epic reached a deal with MS to sell Halo exclusively through their store(with the exception being MS store). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enlityn Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 My eagle-eyed analysis- Tim Sweeney is a fan of Valve games and wants to see more of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massdriver Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Instead of storefronts competing on price, we have exclusives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePi Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I haven't been interested in a Remedy game since Max Payne 2, so I had no interest/intention in getting Control. The Outer Worlds is a bit more of a bummer but even that game, like everything on the Epic Game Store hasn't been an absolute "must-by" and I have no issues waiting for the year exclusivity to end, or just not buy the game at all.

Keyser_Soze Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I forget these games exist when they are on the epic store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I’ll be interested in these games by the time they hit the bargain bin. Sub $20, probably won’t purchase until $10 or less. I get the feeling that Epic Store exclusitivty will prolong that process. But the humble store development today did change my tune a bit. And by the time I finally get Control, I’ll have a rig that can do all the ray tracing bells and whistles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkableriots Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Will definitely get The Sinking City and Call of Cthulhu on PS 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucoe Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Nothing about the Epic store has interested me, and by forcing my patronage to their store, those games also become less interesting to me. What really bothers me about the Epic Store is that the allure was first made in that developers could use it to offer games cheaper for consumers, and instead developers decided to go exclusive and keep the entire profits for themselves. Yeah, it's their choice, but also enough to cause me to say I don't care about their games right now. And if I have to wait a year to play them, I probably won't care about their games ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Chris Avellone slams Obsidian's deal with Epic for "The Outer Worlds" exclusivity as a "cash grab". His main worry seems to be that the news has turned the hype for The Outer Worlds from positive to profoundly negative, hype Avellone himself helped build up. “It’s how you kill the best hype you could have for a game,” he tweets, “Possibly best hype for any of the studio’s games, ever – then undermine it for a cash grab.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
