Of course it's just games. EGS is also just a launcher for games, so why all the noise in the first place?
Why does Epic keep wasting their money on BigBen games? They’re such a mediocre publisher. Overpass, Bee Simulator and Paranoia all have negative-mixed reviews and nobody cared about any of them. Hell nobody noticed Paranoia peacing out from the store for weeks lolThe new Test Drive Unlimited game is EGS exclusive:
New Test Drive Unlimited Game Confirmed to Be in Development at Kylotonn
A new Test Drive Unlimited game is in development at Kylotonn and it will be 'Nacon's biggest project by far', according to Benoit Clerc.
¯\(ツ)/¯ maybe that's the best they can do (get) right now.
That's fine, which is what we said from the beginning.
Epic probably has a multi-game deal with bigben, similar to Annapurna and Ubisoft.
I do realize this is a hobbyist forum and we may get hyperbolic now and again on purpose. I just wanted to be sure, as I got the sense some people had really started to take physical and emotional tolls from the entire EGS situation, which I would hope isn't the case.
I think if X-COM 3 got announced as Eggs I would pop a gasket.
tbh that would be hilarious it would be 3rd moneyhatted game in this subgenre (after PP and MYZ reskin )
Man I hope not. I love XCOM. It would be reeeeeeally annoying.
Take Two doesn't seem all that intent on taking any Epic money, aside from RDR.
And The Outer Worlds + Ancestors
They dont own Blands though right? They just publish it? I should have clarified by saying TakeTwo's own internally developed games.
I'm not sure they're making a distinction. I think with Borderlands 3 and RDR2 they are weighing up what the best lengths of exclusivity are. They probably have a lot of data now from both games (two big hitters with varying lengths of exclusivity), and judging by the fact that they are pushing Borderlands 3 on Steam really hard, I expect they feel even 6 months of exclusivity is probably too long for them for a big name AAA. I'm questioning if we'll even see more long-term exclusives from TakeTwo going forward because they've probably seen the data, and that data tells them a lot of their customers will wait 1, 6 or even 12 months for Steam. And when you're making a lot (or all) of your games live services with DLCs and microtransactions, the last thing you want is a significant portion of your customer base waiting months for your game to release elsewhere.
I think the point now is to not lose users, free games is the only thing going on for they for a while now, they don't even have any big exclusives anymore and the vast majority of big names for this year is already announced for Steam. Brandon Jones summarized, on the Easy Allies podcast, how he utilizes EGS and is pretty much how I see the common EGS user, just login to redeem the free games and never play it or continue to play Fortnite.
Yeah, I am just scratching my head with them slowly increasing the number of free games. There is a reason why EA also stopped their free games after gifting a ton, in the end you are just paying to get the same users.
I've been worried about xcom3 too. I'd head out to the kitchen and flip the table at first probably, but then I'd remember that XCOM generally could use at least a year of bug fixing. I guess after that I'd put the table back.
True. I expect them to appear on PC Game Pass or Humble Choice now.
Everything to get people into launching their store I guess. Meanwhile, the number of people saying that they won't bother to buy indie games anymore is increasing at an alarming rate. But hey, we have competition now, right?
i'm sure all the devs are happy about this too ... especially the ones that didn't get a payout from papa Tim

I'm guessing this will happen to Borderlands 3 when it releases on Steam.
Thats the way to do it!I just noticed that Humble Bundle is providing either a Steam or EGS key for Metro Exodus.
Buy Metro Exodus from the Humble Store
The year is 2036. A quarter-century after nuclear war devastated the earth, a few thousand survivors still cling to existence beneath the ruins of Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro. They have struggled against the poisoned elements, fought mutated beasts and paranormal horrors, and suffered...
I'm guessing this will happen to Borderlands 3 when it releases on Steam.
After this announcement, Microsoft jacked up the CAD price for the game on Steam from 33.99 to 39.99. Wonder if its because they wanted to keep it consistent with EGS's lack of CAD support
Game will not be eggsclusive wich is a relieve, I'm curious to know if is just Undead Labs doing this of if MS will start to release their games on EGS also.
I remember Spencer saying that he wanted to release MS' games on EGS, but that Epic wouldn't allow him to do so if he released these games on "a certain other storefront".
thanks, Tim
Microsofts prices are completely insane. Even Gears Tactics is €70 here in Europe. XCOM 2 was €49.99 on release.
Yeah I noticed it was a bit strange. Ori has been $39.99CAD since it went up for preorder and Gears Tactics is 79.99.
