New games to be announced for Epic Games Store at Gamescom Opening Night

And others continue to complain about the complaints and continue to be ignored. The world isn't being stopped by this whole debate, exclusivity may be a bedrock of the industry but what was acceptable then isn't acceptable now because everything changes. Epic will improve or it may go into obscurity or it may just exist like origins and uplay. Who knows. Point is the future of the store is partially being made by these debates.
My suggestion for you would be to bury your head in your games and ignore it. Doesn't affect you so no need for you to be concerned just let the world move by itself.
I would give it like a year tops. Its gonna be just another store like Origin, Battle.net, Uplay, Windows Store etc.
Everyone who lost their shit over this is gonna read their posts and feel embarrassed.
you should expect everything published by deep silver to be EGS exclusive
Oddly enough, Outward wasn't though (released about a month and a half after Exodus). It's available on EGS, but also Steam and GMG has steam codes, and I'm assuming other retailers do as well.
Edit: Private Division announced a publishing deal with EGS, and so Outer Words, Ancestors: Human Odyssey and Darkborn (formerly "Project Wight" ) are EGS games, but Disintegration apparently isn't an EGS exclusive, so... who knows?

If they are still swiping games from other stores sometimes weeks before launch, it will never be considered the same as those other launchers.
User Banned (3 Days) - Trolling over a series of posts
Yeah, pretty much.
They added achievements two weeks ago.
Just like The Outer Worlds...
Rockstar has social club which means rdr2 will probably be on their own launcher only. Why make 88% when you can make 100%.
Yes, everyone should be holding Epic, Valve, CDProjekt, all of them to account and pushing for better storefronts, customer service, data and privacy protection, etc. 100% on board. But that's not what these threads are really about or the discussions that are happening.
It's faux-boycotts, petulant behaviour, and other silliness. In the Stalker 2 @ gamescom thread there is a post along the lines of: "I bet it's and EGS exclusive". Do you not get tired of that?
Is it not bannable to port-whine?
EDIT: It's not just here and it's not that bad here. I am lumping in detractors here with the absolute BS from around the internet which isn't fair.
Doubt it. Right after this happened they added the proper release date to the steam page.
They wouldn't update the release date from Coming Soon to September 9th and then 4 days later announce EGS exclusivity.
It is one of the more irritating parts of the discourse.
I really hope we see some Epic funded games this time around. As in, games that wouldn't be happening without Epic. But I'm not holding my breath.
Moot!!
Because not only are they getting the moneyhat, but they're going to get that 100% from people that refuse to use EGS. Just like Ubisoft did.
I mean, the unfortunate reality is, EGS is kinda shit when it comes to features, and Epic is advertising lack of some of these features (user reviews, game forums, etc) as " an advantage" for the devs, b/c "less features = less Steam bloat" (apparently). With glacial pace of improvement (how about that shopping cart?) for everyone to see.
So that's the status quo right now. So a lot of EGS detractors (such as myself) don't bother to include our particular grievances (in my personal case, lack of prices in CAD and achievements are the 2 major faults of the store) every time we voice our disgruntlement with EGS. We take it a bit as a given that everyone knows by now. (Though I am happy to elaborate, if someone really wants to know why I don't want to give Epic money).
I'm basically assuming that Death Stranding and RDR2 are EGS exclusives, but that's based on the assumption that they are a year or less from releasing on pc. In both cases they may be farther in the future, and Idk how long these deals will still be getting signed. It's also possible that RDR2s price may be too high for epic but who knows.
At this particular event I'm more expecting some smaller games to get announced as exclusive.

Besides, MS is not doing exclusives. They even backed out of releasing their games only on Windows Store so more people could play them.
It's a Rebellion game, and Rebellion announced it at the PC gaming show. At the same show they announced the EGS exclusive Zombie Army 4.
It stands to reason that if they were gonna make Evil Genius 2 also EGS exclusive, they would've said so from the get-go. So maybe chances are low?
Death Stranding hasn't been announced for EGS, right? So, that,
And like 5 games from the top of the Steam wishlist

Personally hoping Dying Light 2 isn't announced as EGS as I'm interested in seeing how siding with different factions does affect the game overall.
I could see RDR being EGS exclusive as Rockstar knows enough people will buy the game regardless of what store they release it on

Epic has shown they're willing to moneyhat any game at any time if they think it'll hurt Steam. I wouldn't be surprised at all if EG2 was an EGS timed exclusive.
Totally fair. I really don't enjoy the EGS as a user, myself. I find it hard to search and dislike that there is no Wishlist, for example.
But overall, whatever. When Steam launched it was absolutely horrible, yet necessary to play Half-Life 2. Collectively we all got over it.
Steam had its golden age and I have long felt that it has become bloated. Admittedly, I don't engage with many of the ancillary features like the marketplace, community, etc.
Anyway, I just think people need to ratchet the rhetoric down and focus on pressuring all the storefronts to be better. Epic especially, yes, since they are the ones actively and aggressively taking stances and "making plays". They need to shape up.
I'm more annoyed at Tim Sweeny acting like he's saving PC gaming by taking away choice for consumers and trying to force people to install his shitty store to play games they snatched from the top wishlisted on Steam.
How about they actually make a good store first? Steam was bad when it launched yes, but now it's good. You can't expect people to want to use a platform that's objectively inferior. I wish people would stop downplaying how scummy Epic Games are, people aren't pressuring other storefronts to be better because Epic is the one being blatantly anti-consumer while pretending they are doing something good.

From e3 2019 announcement, the games i most looking forward are El Hijo and Spiritfarer. Hope both of them are not going to be egs exclusive and do release on steam/gog.
Which would just be a retread of the Metro and Anno furore - Indivisible is already up for pre-order on Steam.
Hey if they are internally developed, part of a studio acquisition, or are previously unannounced, it's all good.
Otherwise, the side-eye continues.

What a horrible par for the course that would be. First they think they can go alone with a MOBA OMDU and then they'd limit their fanbase for the next game *again*?
If it's in any way multiplayer based like the last game then Epic guaranteeing sales isn't going to do anything for your actual playerbase.
i dont care, as long as epic brings good games for free.
it is very cool of them releasing so much good content.
i know, we have a lot of people here, who do not like the EGS, but i like competition, especially if it shows that there is something going wrong and the new one does it right.

Honestly excited (I use EGS, don't shoot me). Biomutant is one I'm hopeful for tho I don't know if I want to give money to THQ
I feel like this is unlikely. The Steam preorder bonus is a set of Valve themed skins, I can't imagine they'd go Epic exclusive after doing that.
And have said multiple times they weren't interested in exclusivity deals.
I get that it's nice to get free stuff but what else do you consider EGS is 'doing right'? Because paying to make sure content isn't on a competitor's store isn't exactly desireable behaviour imo, not in the least because it removes choice for us consumers.
