Quoting: devnullWonder what happens if one bought the game on Epic's store and activated it later on steam? Valve would lose out on some cash while still being on the hook for infrastructure support.

How would that even work? It's not like you're getting a Steam key on EGS.

Kind of the point. You _can_ recover a cd key with steam.

What do you mean?

Quoting: TobyGornowSame thing dude, Yakuza is tied to Steam as much as Exodus is tied (temporarily) to Epic store, that's simple exclusivity for me, Valve made us and dev captive for too long, today your a big publisher you have to put your catalog on Steam otherwise you'll sell peanuts.

It's not the same thing. They just chose to go there and use Steam, while you can still buy the game at many other stores.

And I'd be happy for other stores to get Yakuza without the Steam-connection. THQ is doing that for example. You can buy Darksiders 3 pretty much everywhere, which is something Valve promotes.

Quoting: TobyGornowMaybe the Orange box was the wrong example ( still an exclusive, You could install Half life 1 without Steam ), take Yakuza 0 instead : you cannot buy it physically, in any way, even if you could you'll be kindly invited to connect on Steam. You can buy it on Humble or elsewhere, sure... and activate it on Steam. In any case, you'll end up on Steam. That's why I said it's time that Valve gets a taste of his own medicine, there is a lot of exclusive on Steam that are not Valve's IP.

That's the publisher's fault for not releasing it anywhere else. That's completely different from what Epic is doing. Other devs release their games on multiple stores.

Quoting: johndoe86xYou can buy the game on the Epic store for $10 less than you would on Steam, and you can import into your Steam library and use Proton.

It was 59,99€ in Germany on Steam, it's 59,99€ in Germany on EGS.

Quoting: MohandevirThing is, judging by the wave of angry comments on the Steam page, 4A Games / Deep Silver seem to have hurt it's Metro fan base. Really bad move to pull it off like that, 2 weeks before release after having built such a hype for it. We now have a full year to discover if it's a good game. Who knows, we might have saved 60$.

It was on #1 of the top sellers on Steam yesterday for a while. Don't know where it was before the announcement, but you could still buy it. Looks like a lot of people quickly bought it, so they can already have it on Steam instead of having to switch to EGS.

For me it's simple: competition is fine, exclusivity is not. There's no reason why they couldn't offer the game on both stores at the same time. That would be competition.

I'll buy it in 2020 on Steam, so that Deep Silver knows where I am as a customer.

Quoting: Dribbleondo> TF2 feels like it has no identity, it feels…bland.

Strongly and violently disagree.

I've no doubt plenty will, what games people like is a very subjective thing.

But it already had great vibrant characters 10 years before Overwatch, and they already had shorts about the characters and comics and... hats! Many many hats! :(

No negative preconception - but it makes you feel negative. That seems like a contradiction.

Because it is content, that is provided.
