I think a lot of PC players are waiting on the steam release.
I know I am. Epic is just junk compared to steam.
Or epic giveaway. I’ll spend actual money if it is on Steam or GOG.
It me. Only thing on my epic account is free games and even then I don’t think I’ve ever booted up a single one of them
I’m not. The game looks boring af.
And people will insist they’re not a monopoly.
The word doesn’t mean “zero competition exists.” It means the competition does not matter.
Called it.
Downvotes change nothing.
‘The majority of customers are waiting on this one store to carry this game.’
‘Yes, this one store is the only big store.’
'HOW DARE YOU."
Can I say as a non PC gamer who follows game news. PC gamers all have different machines, isn’t optimising the games extra costly? In addition, I can imagine the annoyance of getting bad reviews on steam because some Dingus is trying to play the game on a 10 year old PC.
Also, something like 30% of PC gamers pirate their games, so that doesn’t sound like an attractive market to me.
What does this post have to do with anything when it launched on PC the same day as PS5 and XSX? As well, a 10 year old pc would likely have a GTX 1070 or better and that’s enough to run the game just fine?
So you are advocating against user driven reviews the alternative which tends to be corporate relations driven reviews? You don’t want consumers to have a voice or user based resources?

These days compilers can optimise it for the hardware mostly on their own.

Yeah, that’s the great thing about PC. You don’t have to upgrade your hardware more than once a decade, and you can give feedback to games publishers that chasing ever increasing graphics trends is alienating their customers. You console gamers have to take whatever slop you’re given, but us PC gamers don’t have to worry about a publisher not supporting backwards compatibility, so we have more market power. We can apply greater pressure on the industry to apply pro-consumer business practices.

That’s definitely not true. I wish it was.

It’s just Spiders Georg bringing the average up.
PC is the largest single platform right now. Even if 30% pirate the game, there are more copies sold for the typical game on PC than PlayStation.
I saw like no marketing for this game at all, and on top of that didn’t they restrict it to Epic? Definitely a dumb choice. Shame because I want Control 2 to happen. Hopefully this doesn’t affect that.
Epic funded part of development. Without the EGS restriction we likely wouldn’t have had the game at all. Or, at least, not in the current state.
The marketing has been pretty weird. Lots at release, then basically nothing.
If you want to sell something in a competitive landscape, even high schoolers know this simple fact in one easy step…
Release on steam/GoG or go bust being an EGS exclusive. I’m not compelled enough to buy from that shitty platform ever. And I’m not starved for content. I’m having fun w/ Helldivers 2
I still havent finished it
“Gotta release on Steam or you’re fucked.”
Because it’s a monopoly.
“HOW DARE YOU?!”
