This is too dumb, Epic Games is still behind this right?

Don't think it's Microsoft when all their console exclusive 3rd party games are launching on Steam.

For a company that doesn't put out a lot of games, they sure do seem to enjoy making a mess of the one they do.

The Epic Games Store version of Tetris Effect isn't getting the Connected update until 2021 either and November 2020 to Summer 2021 is less than a year so that reply is kind of misleading.

Yes, they also got a lot of money

Sony moneyhatted the game first
Epic Games followed for PC release after the Sony exclusivity ended
Microsoft followed Epic Games for the MP update

Looking forward to Epic spending all their money on suing Apple rather than making PC gaming more annoying.

I just don't understand what the fuck Enhance are playing at?
What is the point of doing this?
it benefits no one.

I think this purposeful 2 year off Steam exclusivity is the longest in video game history.

They can't keep getting away with it. I've been waiting so long to play this game on Steam.

I wonder if they'll bother launching the PCVR version on the Oculus store then too, especially considering the fact that it's technically on the Oculus store already with the Quest port.

Good thing I'm waiting for the Connected update anyway, I'll just wait until then and buy it all together on Steam hopefully! It's not that I don't want to buy it on EGS, it's just there's not really been any sales of it so im in no rush.

I'm sure Google will have an offer of their own lined up for when Microsoft's moneyhat expires.

Quadruple Moneyhat Let's GOOOOOOOO

It benefits them since they get exclusivity checks. It's stupidly anti-consumer, but I assume they dont care about that. Otherwise they wouldn't continue to cut new exclusivity deals.

This is why i can't wait for epic to get bled dry by apple. This shit will be at least much less that way. Don't care about anything else if epic keep affecting my gaming hobby this directly.

So you don't care that sony/microsoft/Facebook also moneyhatted the game or is it just Epic that upsets you?
You should be pissed at the devs for being this fucking greedy at this point to have been moneyhatted this much.

Yeah I'm not sure what the point of including that part is. Could have just included the tweet from Enhance.

Maybe if they keep adding new stuff to another platform they can just delay the Steam version for a decade!

Tetris Effect PC has been handled insanely bad it's infuriating. Just let me play it where I want to play it.

Yes? Iam on PC only. I care what happens to where i play my games only. Outside of PC, exclusivity deals are kind of the norm which is sad but in PC gaming where its all about user options and choice, this shit is bad.
Tetris Effect Connected won't be on EGS either, what are you talking about?

Play on the windows store.... or is that Eric's fault too?
Lol if you believe what you're saying and tell me to play it on windows store...then WOW. You do know how rife is the win10 store with bugs and glitches right? i've had bad experiences there and i wouldn't want to waste my limited money spending on gaming on there and considering windows store and other stores don't even support the payment methods and wallet credit system that helps me buy and play games in the first place. Its a big ask

Base game is EGS exclusive thats why steam for Tetris Connected is summer 2021 no?

Really stretching the exclusivity windows on this one. Their prerogative of course. But whew, giving everyone a turn on the Tetris train must be quite lucrative. Really hope these drawn out deals don't become the new norm.

Knock it off with this bullshit. There are legitimate reasons to be upset about this. This new landscape on PC is bullshit.

PS4, EGS and Oculus users can complain that an upgrade is being witheld by Enhance, but they were never promised MP in the first place.

In the case of PC, you can play it in two months, you can have it as part of the Game Pass too and, if you somehow don't want to use the Microsoft Store, you can still play it on Steam and the EGS in a year.

You have many more options with Tetris Effect than with your average game.

I would have bought the game on Steam if it were available. It's not really a high priority title for me. If they would rather get money from exclusive deals, rather than sales, I guess that's up to them.

Reminder that Samurai Shodown is still not on Steam, after SNK took an exclusivity deal first with Stadia and then with Epic, despite saying they wouldn't.

I have to imagine Epic is involved in this. Microsoft doesn't seem to have a problem with games coming to Steam alongside their own store.
Hopefully this version will be available to play directly from within SteamVR rather than needing to piss around on the desktop.

Microsoft is definitely involved with this. The Connected version of the game is exclusive to MS platforms until Summer 2021. None of the prior releases are being updated until then.

The fact you suggested people playing it on MS store, solidifies the fact that you don't know shit how many people face issues and severe bugs on the MS store even if you don't face or had faced any issues yourself. Make a better effect next time and without the condescending tone. Thanks.

Again there's the reason you can't play it... MICROSOFT.... what did epic do that made the dev put the multi-player and other pc version exclusive to them till summer?
And yes I'm aware of the shit show microsoft store can be at times... like having to fix your hard drive because it deleted pso2 and you had to find hidden folders to fix it or loose 100gb.

Well its an EGS exclusive also and those are usually one year exclusives.. it usually makes sense no? Even if MS had it exclusive, usually they don't delay steam releases but epic does do it. So its easy to see who is the likely one to do it here. MS most probably had it console exclusive.

And I say again, microsoft did moneyhat PSO2 and that was delayed on steam for a while. And that was this year

This sucks. I was going to play this on Game Pass regardless but this fractured marketplace just makes me want to hold off on buying the game until there's some certainty (or it's super heavily discounted).

Well i did say usually and PSO2 is a weird case where a company like SEGA japan is involved too but sure MS might've had a hand in it too but PSO2 is an popular online only game that has had a cult audience playing it consistently and there is MTX too. Tetris Effect a single player game. MS has never made a SP game fully exclusive. They always let there be a steam releases. Take a look at cuphead for instance or any other third party limited exclusive.
