Speaking of Splinter Cells why haven't Ubisoft added Pandora Tomorrow on any storefront? If I remember correctly, lightning problems the game had were fixed a couple of years ago.

Crackdown 3 previews are out. Don't think you guys will have to worry people will flock to the Microsoft Store en masse for it. But it still looks like some good fun. Just think they should've get rid of the lock on for PC players.
Yup, just like you said: The 30% cut is across the board but for some reason when it comes to Steam there is a need to question their take. Valve even gives devs and customers a better value for the 30% cut and with the recent announcement of free multiplayer servers it becomes even better. Maybe if people are gonna question it in the first place they should compare them with other platforms including the EGS.
Everyone just seems so completely blinded by Epic's 12% take that nothing else seems to matter.
It is not for every game.

Ah, ok. I wonder why that is.
Crackdown 1 is one of my favorite games of all time. It was just so much fun to jump around the city collecting orbs. Although I wont pay full price on windows store, if it is included in Gamepass I will sign up for a month.
There's loads of stuff that is being suspiciously brushed under the rug for Epic.
Where is the articles and threads on Epic having no cloud saves after years of them calling out Nintendo for it?
Where's the articles and threads on the always online drm for single player games when Xbox got dragged through the mud for it?
Why are threads and game journalists only focusing on Metro Exodus being pulled from Steam weeks before launch and after pre order being available for months, but not a peep from them regarding the game being pulled from other store fronts that even an Xbox exec commented on it?
What about selling physical copies as Steam Keys and then converting them to Epic Keys weeks before launch, forcing consumers to have to use always online DRM with no prior warning?
What about Dauntless converting all their accounts to Epic accounts forcing consumers into an always online DRM client without warning?
Yes. I have been keeping my eye out for this game. Seems like a better version of Skyrim with Dark Souls style combat and survival elements.
This will almost certainly be EGS exclusive. I just checked steam to see if I could buy right now but I cant :(
edit. wait! Woo hoo!
Reminder that Outward is published by Deep Silver as well.
If it's on the Epic store I won't support it

The thing is if its a business decision I am still free to criticise it instead of eating it up and decide to either buy it or not.
Gods sake, the Windows 10 store is so fucking utterly shit.
It's downloaded the entirety of Sea of Thieves THREE FUCKING TIMES
It just won't finish and let me play, complete and utter shit.

I'll get it.
Looks good.
Apart from the combat :/ Just watched the first encounter in the video that's linked in the OP and I don't think I'd be able to enjoy it without a trainer or Cheat Engine.
Custom avatars have been supported since the launch of UbiClub, IIRC. https://club.ubisoft.com/en-GB/dashboard?edit=true -> Upload an avatar.
I wonder if EGS is shooting themselves in the foot by going Money-hatted Exclusives first and Client-side Features second.
What happens when people are strong-armed into going to their storefront only to discover that the client is completely bare-boned as well as shackled to always-online DRM?
Is that the fist impression EGS wants to present people with? Will it scare off the tentative first wave of customers?
I'm following the news closely enough to know that Epic can go suck an egg with their s**t business practices. But what about the more casual user?
Epic is screaming, "Hey! Over here!!" with their exclusives, but the people they're drawing are pulled into a completely sub-par experience.
Will they be too inexperienced to care? Or will they be just experienced enough to know that what EGS is offering is simply not enough to keep them around for long.
People won't necessarily notice at first
Wait for someone to have a technical issue with no forums to use, or a gamepad that isnt supported, or a new PC with their saves missing.
It's when things start to go wrong, is when people will question why all this shit is missing
and this being PC gaming, things will inevitably go wrong at some point
It doesn't, but I won't rule out buying it yet. The discord post seems to at least imply there won't be a Metro-like exclusivity deal.
The game looks pretty good. If it's not exclusive to Epic at launch and the game turns out to be good I'll probably pick it up. If it runs well through Proton that chance goes up.
Them being backed by Deep Silver still turns me off, but I'm still willing to pick it up if everything else turns out good.
Perfect
Yeah I think this will be a factor.
Seems like on paper it's easy to get people's foot in the door with exclusives.
But it'll be harder to get them to stay as long as the experience wrapped around those select titles is completely under-cooked.
That's the thing, it lacks so many things and a search bar is probably one of the first things you should add on an online store, let alone all the other features it lacks.
At first I thought that it was because they had so few games, why bother with it for now, ok, fine, but at this point they have more than enough games to need one.
Well, maybe your company should be the one who makes it clear for consumers why such decision was made, preferably without the usual PR bullshit. Please understand has never been a good excuse.
Developing, building and selling consoles/smartphones is so hard and complicated and doesn't ever provide any profit for Sony/Nin/MS/Apple. They must earn a living somehow!
Darksiders 3 has regional pricing on Steam for some regions, it's the usual 1999rub in Russia for example. I assume someone is just not paying attention and not deliberate sabotaging Steam.
