Yeah, it appears to work now.
What a pity, I wanted to make fun of them for longer.
The A ending is abrupt because the true ending is in the B playthrough, I guess you probably already realized this from the post-credits stinger.
Swap Rise and Shadow for the general consensus. :P

Hey, I'm one of those!My personal record of concurrent friends online.
Pretty sure majority of steam users are people who are attracted to the store due to the game library overall and the features - at least to me that's how I ended up.
I started PC gaming back in 2012 - I have an account for every storefront but I like steam more cause of its features.
I'd rather have them improve their customer service, forums, profile management and additional stuff like controller support which btw is way better than any other store front , steam cards are great because not only can you make money off selling them but you can also increase your level to get more stuff , etc which I wish Sony had .
The achievement system needs to be upgraded and make it more like xbl where you have a gamer score imo but even as it is now I feel compelled to buy steam versions of indies over Nintendo indies due to them lol
Don't really care if they have a war chest of money , use that to improve and maintain service more than making games. Wish they used the money for artifact to improve customer service support lol.
I say if Epic wants to moneyhat, instead of making games, Valve should moneyhat devs and publishers - the tears would be amazing
I am not sure about achivements, they are good as they are and you can already showcase them on your profile, same as showing how many games and how many achivements you have completed. Being able to tie achivement with item drops (they already allow I think? but i havent really found a game doing it) would be interesting too.
About Service support...

You do know they have improved a lot in the last 2 years right?
Anybody else is having issues with UPlay just randomly shutting down?
I don't have any issues with it while playing a game but often, I'll want to launch a Ubi game and realize that UPlay is no longer running? It almost looks like it just shutdowns if it times out for innactivty (which by itself is a dumb thing to do... Why would you time out?)

Yeah I am okay with how it is especially considering Nintendo doesn't have a system for their ecosystem but I wouldn't mind a improvement here or there ;p
As for customer service, last time I sent a ticket in was back in 2016 so if the service improved, then great! I rarely do I send in a ticket lol and as for refunds , have yet to do any refunds.
Because there are probably people like me who like to "own" games :P
But I mean they develop games. They just released Artifact and have In the Valley of Gods for 2019.
Besides the unannounced titles that Gaben just a few days confirmed are still worked on.
Do you really own a UWP app? As in can you crack it so that you are not tied to that service?
Oxenfree is the next free game on the Epic Game Store and the dev's upcoming project, Afterparty, had its 2019 release date removed from Steam: https://steamdb.info/app/762220/history/
🤔

Can I play any time I want it after the gamepass trial runs out?
I would get if I had a personal Windows 10 PC - only have a work laptop with Windows 10 but I dont want any of my personal stuff (like games) on it.
Future! I will...hopefully my first title will be Halo MCC :P
Eh, wish it was another game , already have Oxenfree on both Steam and GOG (both which I got for free too lmao).
Obviously not, unless you go on creating new accounts for trials (which can be family shared).
But if your playing campaign for one time, gamepass trial is option. Otherwise, $4 obviously may be worth it.
I wonder if that tactic actually works with those Indiegames. I would argue most people who are into indiegames would just say "meh, gotta play something else" or "meh I can wait".
Oh ffs
The would be the second indie game after Rebel Galaxy Outlaw where I'd have to wait a year after release to buy it. 2020 is gonna be packed!
Why would they do that, when it isn't true? They're actively developing games. I mean hell, Erik Wolfpaw is back actively at Valve.
Oxenfree was cool. But, I don't really think I would miss out on much by waiting an extra year for the follow up.
These Epic freebies have been kinda disappointing for me. I've already had every one so far except Axiom Verge and Thimbleweed Park. I hope they step their game up for the rest of the year.

I'm not everybody but it didn't work on me with Hades, and I've been a big fan of all Supergiant games.
Damn it. Was looking forward to that one, but I refuse to install multiple launchers.
Technically you don't really own anything digitally that is why i quoted word own XD
First of the exclusives i was actually interested in. Can wait a year though.
That's certainly how I feel. I have 300+ games in my Steam wishlist already on top of what I already own and havent got round to playing, its not like I desperately need newer games.
The only thing that could really give me pause would be something in a currently underserved niche and thats pretty rare these days.
I don't even bother buying indie titles anymore - focusing more on AA and AAA titles
I just wait for them to be free or included in a bundle
Pulling them off steam is only gonna make me wait longer which I don't mind
I have 1,900+ games in my library and 2,000+ on wishlist
On top of that I still have a backlog of PS3, PS4, WiiU, etc games lol
I can wait 😂
I can definitely wait since I have more than enough good games in my backlog. And all those bundles and sales just add to it.
And I'm also not someone who often buys indie games at full price/release but Rebel Galaxy Outlaw and Afterparty hurt because I enjoyed both their predecessors so much and I wanted to support the devs. But I just don't agree with Epic's business practices.
But then again. I was also super mad when Metro Exodus became an Epic exclusive because it was one of my most anticipated games this year. Then I played RE2, Yakuza Kiwami, and another game and now I hardly ever think about Metro and I'm definitely not willing to pay full price once they release it on Steam. Same for RG:O and Afterparty. So instead of Day1 and full price I'll wait for bundles and/or good discounts for each of those games. Money saved I guess.
Thats why I asked if you can crack UWP applications. If not, then technically you could lose it forever. OTherwise, it could be possible to keep it forever.
I wouldn't even be opposed to buying games on Epic game Store if they wouldn't do the moneyhat strategy. But that plus that I don't really trusting them with data security (they don't send an activation email) for my payment details and even my phone number for 2FA makes me not use the store much other than maybe grabbing the free games.
According to this site (https://epicgames.helpshift.com/a/e...factor-authentication-2fa-and-how-do-i-opt-in) they do support 2FA via Google Auhenticator and other apps.
I am miffed that GOG doesn't allow using an App and still sends me emails
Yeah, the biggest freebie was probably Subnautica, the first they released. Nothing else really stood out, or rather, nothing was a "fuck-yeah" freebie that would have attracted the mainstream.
I don't even own the games that I'm supposed to own in the windows store.
I don't think there's a better solution, but some engines are funky and some things have to be optimized manually. Had a similar problem with my Shadowplay recordings being choppy on g-sync monitor until I used a framelimiter. Short video.

I think it's great lot's of console ports are now having unlocked framerates (RE2, Yakuza Kiwami, Sunset Overdrive) for that 120fps+ goodness. The ones that most need it are the Musou games - still 60fps (actually 59.97) though. Step it up Koei Tecmo.
Tears from who? I think the majority including myself like using Steam.
In 2012 Blizzard had 4,700 employees, 3 years later they had half that largely due to WoW's decline in popularity. Someone already stated these MMO games seem to be the priority at the time (which takes huge resources) and likely explains Valve spending so much time and attention with DOTA 2. Since WoW we had Diablo III come out in 2012, Starcraft II (2010), Heroes of the Storm (2015), Heartstone (2014) and Overwatch (2016). Isn't that more than what Valve has released since 2010?
They are also part of...Activision. Nothing else needs to be said.

Between Satisfactory, Operencia and Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, I might just start giving Epic my money.
I'd really rather not though.
I'd really rather not though.
According to YOUR list: Since WoW came out:
2004 - Half Life 2
2008 - Left 4 Dead
2007 - Portal
2007 - Team Fortress 2
2008 - Left 4 Dead 2
2011 - Portal 2
2012 - you forgot CSGO
2013 - DOTA 2
2016 - The Lab
2018 - Artifact
With under a tenth of the employees. What is your argument again? Why set the starting point at 2010, the explanation of a decrease of output lies in the GAAS Model. MMO's are the pioneers of GAAS, so either we start at 2004 (WoW) or 2007 (TF2) in both start dates, Valve comes ahead, with a 2010 start date, for whatever reason, they both have the same output. Again, with under a tenth of the employees.
What has Activision-Blizzard to do with any of that, Valve isn't a publisher, just a dev. We are comparing devs, not pubs.
We currently have the discussion in the Satisfactory thread. from what I saw from a streamer who streamed it for 10 hours, it seriously is lacking in the factory breadth department. Looks more like 10% Factorio and 90% Subnautica. Nothing that would sway me to buy it.
