If a game is only released on Epic, it hasn’t been released yet. Its just in some weird alpha state until it has broader release.

Know what happens when I find out a game is Epic exclusive? I don’t buy it for a year… Sometimes ever. Enjoy the Epic money kings, hope it’s worth it.

I feel the same, when the game is not available on GOG.

Pretty sure this is a screenshot of the upcoming game Infinity Nikki and OP must have checked before they added the windows launcher for preload.

Epic supports third party launchers

I think Steam is the only platform I avoid that works on Linux

which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

Yar, me as well.

I haven’t created an epic account even for the free games I don’t care how many awesome games they give out for free. Fuck Epic

It doesn’t upset me. It helps me decide which games to avoid wasting my time and money on.

Exclusives of any kind are bullshit marketing ploys, at best.

I tried GTA5 when I made an account there. The game was given free. Didn’t play for long though, and I dislike the idea of having more than Steam. (I have GOG for Sims but I don’t use that either)

I tried Rocket League at work. It is fun and I’d like to continue at home…but opening up that Epic Store kinda is a turn-off for the deal.

I guess, Epic Games sales cuts seems attractive for multiplatform games with microtransaction made with Unreal Engine…

I hate when companies inconvenience me while trying to disrupt a near-monopoly by my benign benefactors.

Yeah, and it’s a nightmare to use with Steam link. The last epic exclusive I bought was The Expanse, but adding it as a non-Steam game to play with the link app completely screwed up the license check and locked you out of everything but the first episode.

Never again.

what is the problem with epic? I like the weekly free games

I can’t think of any examples of the top of my head, but aren’t there some games that should have thrived but we’re heals back by launching as Epic exclusives?
