MY INSTALL PLAN FILED WITH VALVE LISTS ME, STEAM AND DR ORIGIN HERE - BUT ONLY ONE EPIC GAME

SO WHO GETS TO STAY ON MY COMPUTER?

Your check is in the mail op keep up the good work

The problem isn't developers and publishers choosing time-based EGS exclusivity because they believe they get a better deal, not for me at least. I'm annoyed by Epic *buying* exclusivity on a platform they themselves have said in the past they would prefer to be open.

I am not annoyed with developers or publishers. Getting money upfront (2.5-10 million dollars depending on the game from information that has been leaked) AS WELL as revenue guarantees from Epic's massive Fortnite stash and latest investor round means you're basically guaranteeing the game profits before it's even released.

It's a damn good deal for publishers and developers. I am not convinced Epic has the best of the consumers in mind due to how hard they are courting upcoming titles that were previously announced to come out on multiple stores.

I like free competition and would love for EGS to flourish based on their greater share to developers and publishers, but the payments leave a sour taste in my mouth because it's a slippery slope to more and more exclusivity shit and it annoys the hell out of me.

I will probably get The Outer Worlds regardless since I am a big Tim Cain fanboy and I love his game design philosophy, but I wish I could have gotten it on GOG or Steam instead. Maybe I will buy it on the Microsoft store if the Microsoft store release isn't fucked up as 99% of them are.

Damn epic based af if they cover unreal engine costs

Huh. I just realized I never bought a UE4 game. Looked at a couple but nothing I can't do without. And last UE3 game I bought was Boarderlands Pre Sequel.
