Yeah, that's definitely not accurate. Personally it's pushed me towards console versions and rebuying on Steam later on the cheap.
Probably a mixed bag. I bought Mirror's Edge 2 on PC. I also use GoG. But I'm not big on using a ton of launchers. Especially bad ones.
I don't see how buying a console is going to offer a better experience and on top of that have to pay to play online, especially when not one console has all the games that people seem to argue against with why they don't like PC gaming fractured.
Putting a lot of words in my mouth there. Who said anything about a better experience? I just don't support Epic.
Epic is trying to take over the PC space with a terrible platform. IE, ruin a platform for their betterment. Not at all the same. And nah, epic is way worse with the timed deals. They've announced more in the last few days than I can even think of consoles having in the last few years. Unless of course you're conflating minor dlc content with full games. Which I'm pretty sure is the case given your argument style thus far.
It is a weird omission. For sure. I know PS2 and 3 are far more difficult, but it seems they have a good emulator solution for the PS2 largely in place since that's how the classics work.
How is it not the same that has occurred on game consoles? Sony for example has made franchises like Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy and Street Fighter Playstation titles over the years. In one corner you have Epic trying to fight Steam but those games come to Steam usually within 6 months to a year and most times day of date on game consoles. Then you have titles like FFVII Remake that are almost a year old with no planned release on anything but Playstation.
And yet they'll put their games on console which ask for the same cut. Developers get what they pay for. Steam is far better, and everyone knows it. They're doing this to get guaranteed money up front, and they know the flood gates will open again when it goes on Steam.
Look up what history? Of course Sony wants to promote those games and all the other third party deals they have going on, that's why they have them announced at E3 or their online videos. No different than Epic announcing yesterday all the games coming. Sony entered this business by aligning key titles from day one, Epic is trying to do the same thing against Steam.
So we have to have trophies support or no games even if they are many years old? Seems like a weird decision and one I think all of the community would just accept as it is what it is as long as it's there.
I mean if 3rd party games are paid by as someone as epic who's head has talked shitty stuff openly on twitter not only but also has a record of being ok with taking games off platforms being used by a lot of people just after those said games launched on that platform tells a lot about his character as chief of a company that intends on appealing to customers and how little he respects customers in general and then you have a company buying off timed exclusives in the name of competition in the PC gaming space where there is no set precedent like this on this scale because the PC platform has been all about openness and choice and Sweeny's antics do the opposite and attract the ire of the customers that use the platform that is the most mature and most feature rich...
How do you know that the people who specifically said that they won't buy the game and wait will not buy the game at all regardless? I wanted BL3 day 1 but since it was EGS iam now waiting for it to go on a deeper sale to buy it, same with sinking city. Same with outer worlds.. a lot of people already bought some of the games that came back to steam and on a 50% discount. If you research then you'd see how big of a spike some of the returning egs exclusive games to steam, saw in their sales.... believe it or not... PC gamers have mastered waiting for releases thanks to console exclusivity...
