Apparently you don't need anything else to compete but the desire to sell your own games.
User Warned: Trolling
When are devs going to learn that only Steam exclusives are acceptable on PC?
I'm totally confused on why it matters which store front it's on... It's literally one click.. it's not like you have to get up and do anything.. so silly lol
Given Bethesda's track record with games since Oblivion, there's little chance I'd give them my money in the first place. The only thing that has me in their pocket is Doom and/or Id-related developments
Call my bluff when I can get it for $20 if the SP is regarded as really fun. Haven't noticed the FOV issues you mentioned but have only seen a couple of trailers, I'll look for it next time and maybe eat my words.
Now that we could finally choose the OS of our computers if we play on them. Now everyone does this.
I'm just dissapointed... After the Win10 Octobers Update I couldn't handle it anymore. Just put Linux and everythings works nice. Even games without being done for Linux... Gaming has always been one of the factors why people won't go Linux. Now we have a chance to change that. And to make all that "SANE COMPETITION" against Windows.
I just don't even know what to say anymore regarding this things...

idk, maybe it matters because some stores are actually good and some a broken pieces of shit???
When the devs will stop having shitty malware that leaks your personal info to sell me their stuff.
Maybe i will buy the game on ps4 pro if the 60 fps are stable.
Thanks for the info.
Hektor, you don't understand though. Competition is good. I learned this in ninth grade economics.
Bethesda isn't going to get much of my money anyway.
Also, I prefer to buy on Steam where all my other games are.

Haha. That would be something. These guys can't even really deliver a good port with any consistency.
Yeah. I usually stick to Steam and GoG. But the point is that PC Era is open to other launchers if they bring something to the table. Unfortunately, most don't.
I know, that's the bummer. I'd like to try Rage 2, but unless it's ported to the Switch (heh) I probably won't take the dive. Id is brilliant and I admire their work, I just hate that it was Bethesda that rescued them.
Rather get rid of the 30% cut steam takes and pocket it themselves.
It matters because this specific store just revealed a ton of personal user data on their support forums
They're gonna have a great night once the games stop selling on their respective platforms and then move to steam (if developers / publishers like money that is)
Fuck every one of these unnecessary launchers. That being said, I really hope Doom Eternal is on Steam, but I'm doubtful.
Like hell I'm putting my personal information on whatever service they have. I can trust Epic with their store but I'm never trusting Bethesda after the mess they made recently.
Yeah because you can only buy Steam games through Steam.
Devs selling their Steam keys elsewhere any way they see fit? Never heard of it.
I can easily see Epic bribing SE games, specifically avengers game. SE doesn't have their own client yet like Beth does so they're a prime target for this.
Indeed, steam has been sitting on their laurels for far too long.
They did, but turns out this is the kind of quality discourse they envision to thrive on this forum.
It's literally official policy. "We" had an argument about that in the steamthread some time ago.
no steam, no buy.
Getting real tired of having to manage 10 fucking game clients. Steam, Origin & Windows Store (though I dislike it) for me, if it's not on those, then pass.

Not sure what's cringy about not wanting to have your games spread out over 20 different launchers
Alrighty then.. it seems like i won't be buying any Bethesda product from now on(unless its on steam)... they can shove that 100% share and exclusivity down their throats for what i care... Iam happily wishing for these services to turn into a disaster with all of my heart as long as they continue this criminally anti-consumer practices.. same goes for epic. Steam client/store offers a gazillion times better features and support for me and i trust Valve personally a lot. I'd rather buy from GOG then from any other store aside from steam. See ya.
I hope people don't paint this.. oh look another one with the 'no steam no buy' thing. There are multitude of reasons why iam saying this and most all of them are relate to Steam offering me the best of the best when it comes to PC digital clients/storefront/support/reliability and trust.

I think it is fair that people do not want 10 launchers on their computer and all their games spread out on 10 separate accounts. The Bethesda launcher especially has been proven problematic in the past. If you are talking about other stuff, perhaps you are right, but I think this thread has merit.
Don't worry, a new policy will come about how it's platform warring to criticize Epic Games launcher or Bethesda one. There's already one in place for Windows Store.
These basically mirror my thoughts on the Bethesda launcher
I actively use other launchers to buy and play games because many of them offer something other than exclusivity to entice me.
The Bethesda Launcher promises me nothing but issues and lacking features.
It's so damn easy to spot people that aren't PC gamers in these threads too. Just a different icon, lmao.
Not only "positive" for the consumers, but also for the developers. This shit won't fly for long ...
Bethesda will lose some serious money with this move. It won't be worth it.
Hope that others thinking about doing the same are watching.
I respect Bethesda wanting to operate their own store but I think it would be better to still allow their games to be downloadable either via Steam or GOG.
They can incentivise customers to come to their store by making the Bethesda price lower than elsewhere.
This approach just makes me not want to buy your game.
I already have Steam, GOG, Humble and Origin accounts. Its a struggle to remember the login information for my Origin account because I never use it aside from the few EA games I have on there. I'm not adding another one to that just to play Rage 2.

Not just that, but steam provides automatic refunds, reviews, forums, bunch of community features, regional pricing, etc etc
you have to be REALLY ignorant to handwave al that.
I guess you are also happy that you will have your personal info leaked to the world when you will use that piece of garbage store.
haha yeah. what will steam do now that everyone seems to be jumping ship?
also, hypocritical for those who often say, "competition is good" but when their platform loses then suddenly it's bad.
