saying that a lot of the hysteria around the epic store seems a little off base and being met with all this............................. doesn't make me feel wrong. Everyone who wanted a steam key and isn't getting one should get a refund, just feels like a lot of posts in here are just shy of calling for Yu Suzuki to go to The Hague
Yeah of course I have empathy for those people haha. Not giving refunds is absolutely horseshit. I just feel like some of the posts in this thread are a little hysterical. If this was, for instance, a switch from Steam to GoG, I don't think we would have 50 pages of arguing based on the principle of the matter. It's all tied up in this maelstrom of discourse about the Epic store that has, let's faced it, made Gaming side of era really unbearable for months.
I generally like GOG, and if they did something like this I guarantee that I would be up in arms about it. Just as much as others are in here. Especially since this goes completely against everything they have claimed to stand for, and have backed up for years.
I am really fucking tired of all the problems being handwaved away as just "steam fans" causing a ruckus.Epic are enforcing walled gardens on a previously open platform. They are poisoning the well of crowdfunding campaigns, damaging people's trust in future projects. Shenmue 3 backers expected something they are not getting and are not getting a refund for it.
There are so many legitimate reasons to be mad that have nothing to do with steam. And yet ignorant people keep flooding these threads with "oh it's just another launcher, why do people care?", "People are just angry steam fanboys", and other stupid shit. Even after having staff in here giving a warning to stop that stupid shit.
Yeah I mean, Epic sucks shit, Valve sucks shit, the PC market is in a bad way right now because everything has become an arms race of screwing over the consumer. It really sucks.
This is both sides nonsense. Epic are doing much, much worse than Valve have ever done. In fact, if you have been paying attention, Valve have basically done absolutely nothing in this "arms race" (???) you are talking about. It's only Epic, and guess who people have the problems with
I mean listen guys....... it's a bad storefront ran by a bad company.
But it is another storefront. That's just sort of a fact? I mean saying it's an evil company that's terrible and the store is terrible and you hate it is fine. But it factually is, another storefront/launcher
Great, so you are one of those morons as well.
