Too bad it’s only on epic games
Until they give it away for free. I won't give them cent but thanks for the free copy of Control.
It's also on your favorite torrent website.
Oh, are we having the same reddit circlejerk here too? Epic is fine and steam monopoly is bad, the cut devs get is better on epic so if you want to support devs buy there, devs have said they had a lot of support from epic the publisher and were happy with it, and if you hate the launcher then use heroic which is what you use anyway on steam deck for both epic and gog. Get off your high horse, it's just a store, not an identity.
Dogshit take to say Steam monopoly while actively praising platform exclusivity. Sorry we like the option to use our personal favorite digital platform where our entire library is unified and not the safety helmet wearing little cousin where we're supporting Tim Sweeney.
There's a reason Steam outclasses every other platform and it's far from being a greedy monopoly. They uh, get close for this one, make a better product. Uplay, Origin, EGL, they all fucking suck in comparison of features and usability. Valve literally just gives a shit about the consumer first.
Where did I praise exclusivity? If you're going to argue in bad faith then fuck off right away. And yes, you wanting "your library to be unified under one megacorporation" is indeed leading to a monopoly.
I guess you're too young to remember Steam was shit in the initial years as well and people fucking hated it. You're also blaming publishers for making an offer that developers voluntarily accepted, nobody forced them to do it, and most often it's just temporary exclusivity anyway.
Valve literally just gives a shit about the consumer first.
I guess you learned absolutely nothing from the past decades of seeing where capitalism led us and how corporations conduct business. Thinking Valve is going to stay like this forever, especially once Gaben retires or passes away, is just naive. I just hope there's someone else to at least remotely keep them in check by then.
Shut up commie. It's a private company, has nothing to do with capitalism, and is in no way classifiable as a "megacorporation". This isn't Microsoft or Amazon. Delusional to think Gaben hasn't thought of what happens after he dies and hasn't set up plenty of safeguards.
Also steam launched 20 years ago. It became 'big' in 2008. Every other platform has had more than 5 years to actually get going. Shocker they haven't done it less time, since the blueprint was literally invented by Steam who had to experiment and create the fucking medium in the early days of the internet.
Damn you really wrote an angry ass paragraph because I don’t like epic games store. You good?
It's produced by Epic. No shit it won't go to a greedy neckbeard platform.
