It's so obviously true. There's no reason at all to have a tweet like that prepared and linked to any article. Most probably, as stated by others, a report has gone out and is under embargo. This was a scheduled tweet they've fucked by mixing up links and titles.
With non-exclusivity, people that need regional pricing would've got it on Steam and people in EU and US would've gotten it even cheaper thanks to 3rd party stores.
So judging by the image, Symphony + Rondo dual pack might hit PC? That feels real good, and since I already own multiple copies of each game, waiting the extra year for the Steam release will be trivially easy.
Shame about Outer Worlds though.
Shame about Outer Worlds though.
If even Take Two is down for this kind of thing, then I'm assuming we haven't even seen the tip of the iceberg...
The launcher that leaked private information?
The launcher that accessed your personal files on your HDD without your permission?
The launcher Chinese cant even start because Epic locks Chinese IPs.
The launcher that forbids outside key sales?
The launcher that wont let you play games on Linux?
The launcher that wont let you use whatever controller you want?
"iTs JuSt aNoThEr LaUnChEr!1!"
Yup, 11:30-12:30 pst.
Probably too early to start drinking, I'm sorry to say.
Hey, maybe Epic shocks us all and unveils some cool feature that we'd all want, like game trading or timed demos of all products on the store?
(doubtful)
Man, I'm glad I don't care about what launcher I use to play games on. I already have the Epic Launcher installed thanks to a half-dozen attempts to get into fortnite, so I'll probably be playing it either there or on PS4.
#steamcamp however the first one happened to Steam too, albeit very briefly.
Galyonkin also retweeted a Vampire the Masquerade ARG tweet and we know that's coming to Gog too, so that doesn't mean anything.
Epic?
Announcing brand new features that would improve their store for consumers?
Doubtful indeed.
I'm afraid they used it to pick up the most searched and highest-numbered products on the steam wish list.
Darksiders 3 base regional pricing is $25 for me since implementing regional pricing at 31 Jan
lowest Darksiders 3 key according to Isthereanydeal at that time was $47 ( " at that time "meaning at 31 Jan )

that's not the same
fuck epic people are saying how they feel
not telling others how they should feel about it like the it's just a icon idiots
they can discuss how it effects people and why they made their decision but saying 'its a different client' is just such endless shitposting garbage every thread it could be wiped off the face of the earth and we would only be better for it
Leaked image of moderator BronsonLee by the end of this weekend:
That's more an issue with digital purchases in general. I lost P.T on Sony store and Alan Wake briefly on Steam. It's definitely a long term concern that needs solving eventually.
Edit: I was wrong about Alan Wake.

I know, they're competing on "game supply" (I give that euphemism for 'money-hat' a 8/10) but we can hope can't we? Trying to find the sliver lining here.
We knew Metro was coming to Steam 2 weeks before release too then Epic happened.
Read my post again " At that time " , meaning 31 Jan , the day regional pricing implemented on Epic
Doubling down after you've been warned by admin.
That's a strat, I guess.
I bought Metro for $20 thanks to regional pricing form Epic

No it's a fact that Epic is offering regional pricing in countries Valve never touched. Epic is better than Valve on this front.
You are sort of right that by offering it in multiple stores the game would've been cheaper for us Americans and Europeans.
The catch is that the discount is limited to sporadic sales so it would only help the savviest more determined bargain hunters. Metro's Epic MSRP otoh ensures that everyone enjoys a discount and in aggregate this makes the game cheaper for consumers as a group instead of only the most proactive consumers.
Let's not get too caught up in trying to prop up Metro as a bastion for Epic offering cheaper games though. It's the only game to really offer that benefit so while we can't say it never happened it's not worth it to claim there is any reasonable chance of price reductions for other Epic timed exclusives.
Gog itself is teasing the game so that would be a really dick move
User Banned (3 Days): Advocating piracy
Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me.
You know, I thought Epic could have done something really unique in PC scene:
Setting up studio to help translate JP only VNs and games for their store.
Funding cutting edge looking games for PC (Crysis esque).
Making unique cross promotion Fornite skins for most games on their store.
Some indie jam program.
Shoving money down publisher's throat is so lazy.

This was my first thought as well when I heard of the initial data mining.
Yeah, and it makes sense with the data they were pulling too... Now of course you could pull this by just scanning peoples profiles through the Steam web portal I suppose, but I guess just pulling that information out of those files is a bit easier, innit it.
And on the other hand Epic also ignores stores where Valve offers regional pricing like Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand etc.
I don't think thats true. Half of DMC5 reviews showed that the game wasnt bought over Steam, so half of the sales from DMC5 amounted from outside websites.
Kinda OT, but, why did they delete the tweet without a follow-up with the right link? Are they PR or a news site?
There's still countries that have regional pricing on both Steam and Epic, who did not get any kind of discount for Metro. The whole continent of Europe is a good example. It was €60 on Steam, it's €60 on Epic now, and the UK didn't get any discount either.
I am on mobile so posted it quickly; i meant that outer worlds was the only one named ^^;
Steam doesnt offer regional pricing for me , While Epic does and offers it for me at $20
