Yeah me too. Can't even describe how angry and disappointed I am. Not buying the game now. Won't give Epic or 4A a single cent after such a d*ck move.

Peeps are legit shook.I can't with ppl rushing to pre-order this on Steam...
"Epic Store is trash but let me pre-order this game real quick on Steam to support the developers for making shitty decisions"
So this must've been in the pipeline for some time then, if the game is gonna be sold in Russia day and date with the rest of the world.
This is actually a very good question.
Are they even allowed to sell retail copies with Steam keys without selling the game on Steam?
Edit: Well it looks like the answer could be "no" since there will be Epic keys on Retail?
Same. Mods should ban anyone replying with "competition is good".

Im shook. I have $150 in steam cash and I want to play it! If it confirmed that steam keys are for sale at retail I will probably refund on steam and buy it on sale at retail.
Don't worry, PC gaming has been through much rougher patches. I have confidence that the PC community will respond appropriately. But yes, just so you know, we all blame you.
I completely forgot I preordered the game on CDKeys. I wonder if that'll be refunded or just a Steam key or what.
That would only incovenience already-existing/future customers that would be caught in the crossfire for something they have no control over, and would make Valve look like assholes when somebody buys a retail copy that is now useless.
edit: and pissing off customers would have the effect of pushing people away from Steam.
games have been discontinued, but still have retail copies floating about - with working steam keys - like the original Prey .

I had about four different posts in the Metro thread that I typed and then deleted because I'm getting angrier and angrier as the posts get stupider and less informed, so I click next page repeating "OH MY GOD" under my breath over and over and then I see this on the next page
actually laughed out loud when i saw it
personal tension defused

Since retail games haven't shipped yet (i would imagine?) i was moreso thinking how that would screw up Deep Silvers publishing strategy, as they would have to effectively cancel all orders.
Does anybody know if Steam refunds also refund sales tax in the US? I kinda wanna lock in a Steam preorder just in case the impressions around launch are really good, but would like to know if I can get back the full amount if I refund.
Man, I feel like a dingdong for saying just this morning that making Exodus exclusive would be such a poisonous move that it would be impossible to have happen.

Nope. But some devs still do that, like there's physical game sold in Japan, that comes with Steam key. They just paid steam direct fee, requested beta testing keys and sell those, without game appearing on Steam at all. (Because it doesn't have approved store page, not visible in steamdb, no forum or anything like that).
Epic key or refund sounds most likely options. Valve has no reason to allow Steam keys and shouldn't.

Edit: actually, they don't say anything about retroactively revoking keys. Plus, it'd only be harming Steam users. It'd be a bad look for Valve. They will probably not be able to do reprints of copies with Steam keys. It would be strange if Steam would allow new keys to be generated.
Steam invalidating keys would not only make them look like the bad guys (and rightfully so) but drive people to Epic's store. Why would they do that. People already bought the game, it's not like Deep Silver suddenly won't get those sales. The only one loosing here would be Valve and consumers.
I kinda assume it'll still be a Steam key but who knows.
There are no Epic keys though.

On a happier note, everyone should add this to their wishlist. I got it for 99 cents during the winter sale and it has so much ambiance and character. Its like I am Steve Zissou hunting the infamous Jaguar Shark.

Those nasty 30% means I'm bringing Deep Silver closer to bankruptcy so sing me up. But seriously, I know I shouldn't and I wouldn't in almost any other case but Exodus is my number 1 'looking forward to' game of the next few months and the only reason I haven't preordered already was because I forgot. Also I'm not paying 60€.
I don't mean to offend anyone in this thread because this is pretty much the only thread on ERA I actively look in (as opposed to just looking for news threads) but for my own sanity I have to believe that most of the stupid posts in the Epic threads come from... let's say younger people who maybe don't have a fully formed worldview, because I really can't imagine rational adults having some of the perspectives and "takes" that I'm reading.
Although I do type this aware that I am currently living on the same planet earth in the year 2019 as the rest of you.

Jeez, I'm gone for one weekend and things are already crazy. If DMC5 somehow becomes Epic exclusive then I would lose my goddamn mind. Also, why are console fanboys continually come to these threads and basically troll with no appropriate punishment?

I konw its hard for you folks to swallow, you can be playing exclusivly on PC all your life and still refusing to curse epic name for DARING to challenge valve .We gonna put our big boy pants on and buy good games at price we think are acceptable where they are - be it steam, Epics or "Vlad gaming platform and car repais INC " .
Semi-related to the current discussion: Sinner Sacrifice (was Discord exclusive) is getting extra content alongside it's Steam release.

Staff likes to pretend they are just ignorant or passive. Sprinkle in a lot of "but Steam is not a platform" and voila, you get a terrible-thread fondue.
Nobody has a problem with Epic making their own storefront. The fact that you see this as Epic "daring to challenge" Steam and not Epic vs Steam/Origin/BattleNet/uPlay/GOG/Itch is telling in itself.
We all use other launchers. None of those other launchers were paying pubs to keep their games off Steam until Epic.
I think you will still get people getting their orders cancelled, some of which might be glad they'll still get a steam key for the game, for them this would be a hassle. Somewhere some poor sods will have something go very wrong with their shops and they'll have to go through CS to get a refund (something always goes wrong).
Cool that you care about people in other countries who might have to pay far more and some cant even access it because Epic decided to lock their store in some regions.
Not skewed, just ignorant.
No one has a problem with other storefronts or launchers for simply existing, but you probably know this already.
I feel your pain, I honestly do , but steam moving to my current currency been a pain in the ass, and some games are still not puchase-able becaue the prices were never updated to my local currency. like I said, there is no one universal situation for us all here.
You swore an oath when the moddership was bestowed upon you, young Bronson.
Thank you for telling me to get fucked.
I want to play the game. Just not on the EGS.
Would be a shame if something were to happen to your DMCV preorder...
