Coming from this thread , Which its main focus is that Bladurs Gate 3 might not come to the Epic game store , There were dozens of replies that celebrated that the game wont come to Epic Store , and that made me little sad for the reason I will say below
Before I begin , I want to clear some points
1-) Developers are totally free where they put their games and where not they put
2-) I am all for Games being in as much as stores available and have more options for Customers
3-) While exclusivity isnt something new to the industry , I was against some EGS exclusive deals that were shady like the Metro Exodus one or Kickstarter games that promised backers a Steam key but went for EGS exclusivity
4-) EGS has a lot of features missing that is laughable to be missing in 2019
4-) Everyone is of course has the right to criticize any product and Epic Store has a lot to be Criticized for
But despite all the Above , I will still prefer an EGS version over any store version for one Critical reason , For me and for a lot of countries , Epic Store is the only Store that provides regional pricing for me at Decent prices , and There are areas that Epic store offers regional pricing ( decently Reduced prices in Us dollars instead of $60 ) that wasnt cover in any store before like for example the vast majority of carribeans or the whole continental of Africa ( except for South Africa ) and in general they said that they offer regional pricing for 230 Countries/territories , For my country I dont consider myself poor or too rich , just thankfully on the fine part , but despite this , Two $60 games will easily take away more than half of my monthly Income , So getting Games in launch at the very least at 40% off $60 ( sometimes 70% ) was a blessing to me and the ratio of me buying games at launch increased in it instead of waiting months for a deal for games I am too interested in or years for a bundle in games I am interested in but in lesser degrees , and outside of Cloud Saves then I usually Use launchers as the equivalent of " Plug and Play " so I am not in a rush in Epic adding the missing features except for Cloud saves maybe
I of course get why people are hating it and they have all the right to criticize Epic and Epic Store and in the end it is just a tool for me that gives me games at launch at decent prices that fits my income , but seeing posts that "celebrates" No EGS release in a multi-launcher game makes me little sad , I know that posts intention are targeted into Epic itself , but indirectly those posts are translated to " I dont care about a lot of people getting this game in low prices at launch that fits their income instead of paying for prices that break their Income , All I care about is that I won against Epic " , What I hope is that posts who say this aren't acknowledged about the Fact that Epic stores is the only store that offers regional pricing for a lot of countries and don't hope that those posts knows this fact but ignore it
Sorry for the long post , but I just wanted to share how I feel about this
