Why is it on Epic and not on Steam?

World of Goo 2 would not exist if Epic had not helped us fund the game! We were able to hire artists and engineers for multiple years to help us build the biggest game we've ever made. We're grateful for this! You've likely seen similar arrangements with other games, and I imagine ours is comparable.

If you don't use Epic, that's ok. You can always get World of Goo 2 right here on this page, DRM-free, for Win / Mac / Linux. Just scroll up there. And if you have a Nintendo Switch, you can get it on the eShop directly on your device.

But I want to play it on my heavy computer that's strapped to my face and sprays pixels into my eyeballs.

Someone in Chapter 4 wants to have a conversation with you.

How did you fit so much goo into this game?

Computers have come a long way in the last 16 years!

I used to play the original World of Goo when I was a kid. Will this make me feel like a kid again?

You might be able to visit for a while.

I missed you, World of Goo!

We hope you will love it as much as we've loved building and discovering this new world! You can read our first interview about the game here.

I guarantee those people never complain about a Steam-exclusive game not being on GoG or EGS.

Do you have any examples of Valve buying up studios and pulling them from other online stores?

That's not the point, because that's not the situation here. The game isn't exclusive, wasn't pulled from any stores and was funded by Epic games. You don't see Valve-published or funded games on EGS either.

There are games where the criticism against Epic was completely valid. This isn't one of those.

I didn't say it was the case here. I quoted the point I responded to.

My post was talking specifically about peoples' reactions to the World of Goo 2 launch though, including the part you quoted.
