Seems Epic wants to steal Halo from Steam

Valve has given up it's over

>"Microsoft says they're listening to feedback"
Make DRM-free releases, please.

It wouldnt make sense for it to be exclusive to epic, if anything they'll just double dip and be in both stores.

>they're listening to feedback

Wouldn't that confirm they wouldn't release it on the tencent store? Microsoft is one of the biggest companies on earth, it's not like they can do fucking anything with a money-down deal. It's probably more time and money consuming to cash that check than what that check is worth. If Tim Sweeny came to me with his little checkbook, I'd just fucking buy Epic and rename it Microsoft North Carolina Outhouse division

But Halo MCC isnt a Steam exclusive.

I will smash my Xbox if this happens.

Why do people think MCC will be a major seller?

>Steam
>Epic
Will there be a way for me to access the game without having to use these platforms?

Microsoft store?

microsoft store

I guess I dont see the hype behind a game that everyone has played and seems like its been out for a decade. PC game is really dead.

You'd be stupid to think otherwise

Post yfw Microsoft takes Epic away from the Chinese and buys it.

Sure, buddy.

Windows store and good old fashioned piracy
Or you can just not play them because they're console trash

Eh... I guess it would be slightly better than tencent.

They don't have to be advanced when the chinese bots are being forwarded to Indian Tech Support.

I find it hilarious that the most anticipated game is MCC. I was considering getting into PC gaming.

Holy shit that would be a battle to bare witness to

Name a worse website than OAG

not everybody bought an xbox to contuine the series
not everybody wants to use a controller, including the many who already own it on xbox and want a pc port asap
no major releases after sekiro helped halo climb the list (well theres rage but hardly any hype)

Many people want to play the coop with their friends. Also, this is for PC and many PC gamers haven't played all the Halo games.

Stop counting Facebook games, user

>Epic is forced to make games again
>"""exclusives""" are put on W10 store and then released normaly couple months later
force them to actualy finish UT and we have a deal

Do you want it on Uplay or Origin? Or DRM-free? In any case, Steam is the only third-party store in which they sell downloads and they never made DRM-free releases (besides Microsoft Entertainment Pack).

>one angry gamer

Thats one hell of a clickbait article
>Game is on steam
>Specifically mentioned it being available on steam and windows 10 store in reveal
>HURR DURR R U EPIC EXCLOOSIV
How fucking retarded is this guy?

Microsoft won't make it an epic exclusive.
They'll just throw their weight around and force epic to accept it in their store without them having to sign that one year crap so they can sell it everywhere else too.

not only that, you have to be braindead moron to think Windows would make any exclusivity deal with anyone when they have both W10 store and Xbone

If they go Ebin exclusive shit, they'll lose lots of sales and rep. I doubt they're that retarded to pull it off from Steam. If MS just also sell MCC on Epic while not locking Steam out of it, there will be no shitstorm.

>windows 10 store

I know people use it, but wtf are they buying on that thing?
Win 7 for lyf

I don't really think Epic has the power to force exclusivities just for releasing it in their store. Hell, that new vampire game is sold pretty much everywhere.

If it goes Epic the whole hype goes under

The best part of it was opening Halo to Steam users. Its tge motherfucking monkey paw all over again.

game pass games like sea of thieves and crackdown.

It's OAG, what the fuck did you expect?

I dont know who he is, nor do I care enough to remember an internet clickbait writer.

i dont care at all about fortnite but I love that epic has litterally all the money in the world to shit all over the pc gaming status quo

god bless these zoomers and their fortnite skins

qBittorrent

Every day I see screencaps of some new internet faggot with opinions,I have no fucking idea why this excites anyone

>>Specifically mentioned it being available on steam and windows 10 store in reveal

So was Outer Worlds. And lets not forget Metro Exodus and Anno as well. Don't put it past epic to steal your favorite game.

>respond = steam exclusives
K

Not everyone has had a xbox 360, halo is a game I have played a lot of, but it was at friends houses because my 360 RRoD'd. PC ports of halo 1 and 2 are rough, Halo 1 is good enough but its 30fps locked and halo 2 pc is buggy as shit.

Having all of the games on pc with a above average portjob would be the best place to play these game.

Yeah, but it's fucking Microsoft. Not Deep Silver or the indie division of Take-Two.

This is something Epic absolutely does not want. because then there will be real numbers to compare and it will show how minuscule Epic's share is. Any publisher that did this would have this information sent to them from the client. Where Epic can't manipulate it or falsify it. And that publisher would give that data to other publishers because that's just what they do to make informed business decisions.

I dont care where it is just put it out.

So, why are World of Goo and Vampires there?

honestly i probably wouldnt buy it if it switched to chink bot farm store

I've been waiting for 13 years to finish the fight.

It's PR-speak. They just don't want to commit to an answer because no matter what they say, they will alienate someone. Pretty standard stuff.

Fuck off Chink.

Chinese programmed bugmen will rule the world

He's not. PC accounts for 56% of all home game sales. Sony is in the upper 20's (forget the exact number). And the rest is 'other' consoles. This isn't facebook or mobile related at all. The amount of titles sold on PC makes the console market look like exactly what it is.

If you think microsoft would willingly shoot themselves in the foot over the chance to make massive shekel on halo you're really stupid. The only reason theyre porting MCC is because of how shit 5 sold.

Except this is Microsoft we're talking about here. You know, the multibillion dollar international company that makes the worlds most popular OS and revolutionized the world of personal computers? I don't think Epic has enough dosh to bribe Microsoft even if they sold fortnite.

I never understood retards like you. How is a game being re-released for modern platforms a bad thing? Not everyone still has their older consoles or windows 95 installed. I never see people complaining an old movie is getting a blu-ray release or an older album is getting remastered. It's always gamers who get butthurt at an older game being put on a modern platform. There is no good reason to be against it.

All he said was they didn't want it, not that it didn't happen. More titles = more data. Also, neither of those games are worth the data. They're indie shit. People want data on an AAA-showdown.

Metro Exodus was "on Steam"

No. If you want to sell on their store they make you sign a one year don't put it anywhere else clause.
Microsoft will prob just use their weight to get that clause mysteriously absent from their contract with epic.

If they put on Epic then I simply wont buy it. I played the original trilogy and ODST

This isn't personal, because I came close to buying Fallout 76 until Bethesda announced it was exclusive to their terrible launcher.

Why would Microsoft, with their own digital store, make it exclusive to Epic at all? There's no logic here.

Not really. Yea Forums is the only place that doesnt like Epic. Normies dont care either way

>Epic store exclusive
>Meaning not on the Microsoft sotre
>Microsoft first party title

Brainlet journalist confirmed

because he currently has china on lock down even though tencent is fucking china. He's got bigger fish to fry.
