Now that is lovely. I played almost all of them and enjoyed most, with the notable exception of the Expanse. It has its high points, but the main story and especially the main antagonist are just completely nonsensical. Still, it spins an enjoyable yarn if you don't pay too much attention.

Flat textures and cel shading and barely able to hold 30 fps? Lovely.

Ooh, that is a huge development. I hope it works well in practice and other stores (hello, Epic) don't roll out their legal guns against it.

Frankly, whatever. Putting the game on Steam has nothing to do with Epic being or not being its publisher, they can publish it to Steam, too. The date the publishing contract expires doesn't have to be tied to Epic's exclusivity deal. The other dude said Epic wouldn't last long, which is clearly bollocks, as they have all the money in the world right now. Of course nothing is forever, it's hyperbole.

Epic published the game. All the money goes through them.

Quoting: dziadulewiczWhatever the case; Epig is not going to last with this business model (and attitude) of theirs much longer.
As long as they have the cash cow that is Fortnite they will be around forever. They can burn through billions in other parts of their business. You don't follow the gaming market, do you?

Good! And please free Alan Wake II from your shackles EpiG so it can be available on Steam, then i'll buy from there. Won't give you epic pigs money ever.
Epic published it, so you'll be giving them money regardless.

Oh, that is good. Even if parents are clued up on the nefariousness of the practice, it's so widespread, the pressure to let their kid do it anyway so as not to be different from others must be very high.

Quoting: coolitic"Shouldn't need a calculator" as if the conversion ratio wasn't absolutely trivial.

And from that point alone, they stretch it out into buzz-words about "Companies manipulating children to spend money", as if having a (trivial) conversion step was the root of the issue.
A new user, voicing support for the companies' point of view? Did you register only to do that?
