![]() I agree as ibugsy said above that it would have been nice if they could work something out with just the backers for Phoenix Point, but at the end of the day the tiny inconvenience just isn’t enough to get me to care versus real problems going on in life every day. I certainly wouldn’t spend an extra $10 just to have a game on any specific storefront assuming I can still play it on my same hardware. In the US Metro Exodus went on sale on the Epic store for $10 less than Steam yet there was still a rush for people to buy it on Steam before it was no longer available. Steam needs competition and as has been proven by consumers blind loyalty is a thing. Visit our Barnes & Noble store pages for more details and. I doubt Epic’s game exclusivity is a thing they’re going to keep doing for long (aside from their own projects obviously) as it seems like a pure business decision to drive consumers to their platform. Use the Barnes & Noble store locator to find stores and events in your area and online. You’d have thought that gaming was ending and taking the world with it, yet here we are 8 years later and every major publisher has their own launcher. Multiple storefronts/launchers is a minor inconvenience at worst, but all of this shit slinging just reminds me of when EA put Battlefield 3 on Origin exclusively. Do I prefer GoG over every other storefront? sure because CDPR is awesome, but there are games I haven’t gotten there (like Grim Dawn) simply because multiplayer was simpler to do through Steam at the time of purchase. The difference between games on different launchers is literally zero when it comes to actually running the game. I backed Phoenix Point and don’t give a shit what store it’s on, because I care about games not giant companies and their stores. Seems pretty simple and straightforward to me. The Developers were looking for a way to get more revenue quickly which wouldn’t have any creative impact on the game they were putting out. If this is the way of things, then I wonder if this will kill more chances of games getting funded? epsecailly if there is a chance that the studio makes a silly move like this? people will lose their trust and faith in both KS and Fig. Afterall, the game wouldn’t have been funded without them. ![]() But to me, the move just gives a middle finger to the backers more then anything. ![]() I agree, but it is a silly move by the devs, but interesting that the devs approached Epic, not the other way around. ![]()
