Like fucking clockwork. So transparently desperate.
Part of me hopes more people pay full price for it on Steam, but fuck Deep Silver. One of the shittiest publishers. I hope they get nothing.

So, Genesis Alpha One gonna get complete edition on Steam an GOG sooner than owners of the game on EGS? Says a lot on how much devs and pubs care about EGS and its userbase.

"Only our games."

If Epic had taken this feature from "the best", maybe we'd have more feature now.

To be fair, Metro is even more heavily discounted on the Windows Store. Unless Game Pass has something to do with the lower price.
And here I was still believing bigger cut would lead to better prices for us. (Same price without game pass too)To be fair, Metro is even more heavily discounted on the Windows Store. Unless Game Pass has something to do with the lower price.
At least the developers were paid better and had less crunch during development.
Oh wait... none of that was true either.
I was just talking about this scene from Bolt earlier today. Love that film.
Bolt is great. This is now a thread about underrated animated Disney films. Next we'll talk about Oliver and Company.

Epic Games Store exclusive disappears and no one is saying why
Paranoia: Happiness is Mandatory is a game you may not have heard of, but one in a bit of an unusual situation.

We got exclusive delistings n0w as well? Thanks Sweeney!Epic Games Store exclusive disappears and no one is saying why

The fact that one of their exclusives got delisted and people didn't notice until 3 weeks later is embarassing. Especially since they constantly tout how good EGS's curation is for visibility.Epic Games Store exclusive disappears and no one is saying why

I don't understand why the Metro publisher is not planning a GOG release since the game is one year old already, it has been reviewed and it has been available in two plus one pc stores.
I know it is their property but it would probably be an explosion of good will if they had such a DRM free release to make up for the absolute fuckery they caused during launch.
Maybe the game did that bad so they are after any dime they can get, and it is their right to do it, but this enforces my notion that Deep Silver are a complete scum so they do not earn my money.
Feeling bad about the good people that made the game, it looks great.

I can take a guess...
- The DLC hasn't been cracked yet
- Maintaining another version of the game is expensive and time consuming
- The amount of people that will change their minds over DRM-free is unremarkable
Between EGS' discovery tools being shit and the game having one of the worst MC scores last year not a lot of people had an interest in it to begin with. But that's an interesting situation, if the game was delisted by Epic, does it mean Bigben can make it available on Steam? Or they should wait for an entire year even in this situation?
The real question is how many other exclusives have been delisted with no one noticing.
If it had been on Steam, removal would have been noticed within minutes, not within weeks.
Wonder if Steam version is also canceled...
Yeah, the game has been probably cancelled. Which makes me wonder what happened to active licenses. Are people even able to download the game?
And all jokes aside, zero buyers is not a believable scenario.
Or maybe the publisher ran into some kind of legal dispute and decided to take the game down for the time being?

So Paranoia was buyable for a short while then taken off and noone noticed until now.
Oxygen Not Included was taken off and noone noticed until 3 months later.
lol

Or they are beholden to bone-headed shareholders and/or leadership that doesn't understand piracy and views DRM as a necessity.
they signed the contract ... they got the money (bigben, i mean ... the devs probably got jack shit) ... they can't "take it back" now, lol
gonna be 12 months either way (or i suppose i could never come back)

I wonder what has happened to EGS exclusives. At the start, it seemed like Epic was just looking through the top 50-100 most wishlisted games on Steam and moneyhatted whatever they could, now I feel it's totally different.
Maybe what I read on Twitter a few weeks ago has some truth in it, that Epic wants devs/pubs to approach them and not the other way around.

If they are that "confident" that they can lay back and let the mountain come to the climber, they have a bad awakening coming to them.
I think they're doing it because they are in a much better bargaining position if developers approach them first. They undoubtably overpaid for their first batch of exclusives. Ridiculously so in my opinion.
Correct, but it doesn't lead to many "prestige" "gotcha!" exclusives. In the first year, they grazed the top 100 wishlisted games on steam. The devs who would jump at the chance of getting an epic moneybag probably are mostly from the top 1000+ wishlisted games.
And devs who got good games but do have financial problems are not only in a worse bartering position, they could even make less money than before if Tim gets to know they are desperate.
I mean, it is good, that tim doesn't snatch good, popular games proactively anymore, but the sheer arrogance...
And it can't even be good PR at the whole when there are more and more devs who wanted a moneybag but were just booted out the door or got an offer that was a slap on the face (just to get rid of them) and writing blogs about it, or get the very scarse news article about it.
You can't tout that you are the savior of indies if you kick 99% of the indies that are coming to you, expecting help, out of the door
A bit of bad PR is all about a part of being the best curated store for indies, and Tim will stop at several things to get there.
Clearly his open door approach still has a lot of unsaid caveats since he/the EGS team are the arbiters of what is 'good enough' to be on the store, and as has been the issue from the beginning - the games that really could use X thousands/millions probably won't get noticed/accepted
And the more critically acclaimed games you scorn and the more subpar or outright bad games you moneyhat, the more it will fall flat on its face.
I mean, the console makers are not in a situation where they will get flak if they don't help indies get on the console. They just can sit back and pick out the raisins after an indie got immensely popular.
But if you are EGS and the self-proclaimed savior of indie gaming, you will have to answer more and more questions why indie sensation xyz was not allowed on the store but badindiegame54 was.
People really forget how the world was befoe Steam started opening up with Greenlight and the media was asking that same question.
It's (not) funny how fast media went from steam new to be open to steel needs to be closed after they opened.
The narrative doesn't really matter, so long as people are clicking links and viewing ads.
There are a few ideologues in the press who take one strong position or another for better or worse, but on the whole they will say whatever needs to be said to get a click.
Disappointing to see that next game from the Mutant year zero people is eggs. That and Phoenix Point would have been two day one buys for me. What is it with Timmy snatching up XCOMesque games? They are my favourite. Its like hes spying on me.
Oh well. Back to XCOM2.
Oh well. Back to XCOM2.
A couple years ago, when I foolishly backed Phoenix Point for instante, I'd share this feeling but thankfuly there's dozens of great tactics games on Steam nowadays and a lot more coming on the next few months, even if you don't count the Chinese games with no English support (yet).
Let Timmy keep his toy, especially since it doesn't looks anything special.

If it is a pleasant experience to upload stuff on EGS, it is a pleasant experience. He is right about me, a consumer, not caring about that at all.
All I can say is that it's not a pleasant experience to see games I looked forward to and even backed be snitched up by epic with the sole purpose to make me start using a store so that Tim can claw into the pc market.
All I get from EGS is the inconvenience of another game library on another launcher, that may or may not survive. Paired with a less convenient service and set of features.
That's really not a good deal.

I wonder if the reason there is no negativity is that no one actually noticed it at all. Hell, there are devs in bed with epic desparately trying to create negativity without any success.

I want the Devs to feel good and be less stressful when they are doing their job.
It almost always makes their product better.
Now, they can do what they want with their product according to their interests but I also do the same as a potential customer.
If a game goes EGS timed then it will not have my money because I do not like assholes and people dealing with them and I might enjoy their product long after a deep sale in another's store. I will not miss it but they will definitely miss my money because that is how these things are.
So many other games out there.
