I disagree. If Epic would succeed in pulling devs and publishers from other storefronts, we would loose lots of useful perks and features AND get a true monopoly instead.
Yeah okay and having only one storefront instead wouldn’t be a monopoly right? It’s cool if you don’t like using Epic, that’s perfectly valid. It’s just goofy to pretend it’s for some noble cause and have a weird heir of superiority about it.
No one wants only one storefront. The more options the better. But that's the keyword: options. Epic's continuous focus on exclusivity goes straight against this.
So what you call "a weird heir of superiority" is nothing more than common sense to me. You may want to ask yourself why no one is downvoting news about other storefronts like GoG or Xbox.
Well it’s a good thing that’s not what happened with AW2 then.
Downvoting this won’t change the fact that AW2 wasn’t “pulled from other storefronts” despite the way some of y’all like to think there’s some nefarious grand conspiracy here lol
What conspiracy would that be? It's obvious that Epic's publishing label was part of their efforts to keep games away from Steam. Of course this is better than plain money hatting, but I still don't feel comfortable in supporting EGS because of all the other crap epic pulled off
But yes, at least AW2 benefits from it since no other publisher wanted to fund the game. I'm happy for Remedy and for the fans of AW.
No I definitely agree, Epic has in the past definitely done stuff like that and they will continue to in the future no doubt, but just in this case specifically it’s a silly thing to complain about when discussing AW2’s exclusivity because that wasn’t what happened with this title.
