I don't think it's their decision to make, Take-Two the parent publisher company, is the greedy asshole here.
Sick contribution. It's not like this stuff hasn't been explained countless times in countless threads.
At least outer worlds I can buy on the Microsoft store.
Shame about control, I was looking forward to that game.

So
developers just don't care at all about consumers huh
alright
People are so salty. I understand where you're coming from, but holy fuck.
I'm pretty happy that Epic is trying to shake up the PC gaming space. Steam has held a monopoly on PC gaming for way too long. Not to mention that being front and center on the Fortnite Launcher along with a dev-friendly revenue split will boost this game's sales and revenue by a bunch.

And consumers are not mischaracterizing developers ? I see quite a bunch of greedy developers comments here. Yes the developers are looking for money because you know they have a studio to run, people to pay. The Epic deals are too good to pass on. And its not like they are asking you to pay more or there is any other barrier of entry to EGS other than downloading a client.
You mean other then having less features then 2005 Steam and invading the privacy of Steam users with Data Scraping?
Sorry, how exactly did you get "doesn't care about consumers" from "fun thread so far"?
Paid exclusivity is exclusively a negative for consumers. The "extra money" isn't just extra money for nothing, it's extra money paid to do something that makes the platform suck for the people who play on it.
it really feels like Steam is getting fucked over left and right
hard to see them staying as the lead PC platform in the next 5 years

Spellbreak was one of the few BR titles I thought would be able to break through. It certainly wont if its going to not be on steam.
That sucks. I liked what I played a lot.

Careful, empathetic reason doesn't work well in these threads
Some people would argue the lack of features are a barrier to entry. Especially those that help disabled gamers on the PC platform.
I'm sure it's nice to get a fat stack of cash from Epic, but you don't have to insult people too.
How many of the 2.5x copies were Steam preorders? It made the number 1 best seller on Steam when it was announced that the game was being removed from Steam but preorders still honored so it was the last chance to buy there. Epic conveniently leaves all the details out.
I am 100 percent certain those things will be resolved in time if Epic intends to make EGS viable choice.
Not really mad, just extremely disappointed by Remedy and The Outer Worlds. I was also looking forward to Industries of Titan but at least I can remotely get their point, since they're a small indie team.
I'm not 12 though so a single year doesn't look like two billion years anymore. I can wait.

Not only is this shit not going away it's gonna ramp up
Based on the sample sizes the devs have for Metro/Division 2 it clearly works

Said in a thread amongst a sea that freely insults developers trying to get a better part of their own cake by going to the EGS.
You mean the multi million dollar publishers gstring fat checks for a plateform war?
And are you going to sit there and repeat that tired 'just download' argument with the state of EGS features and how they invade people's privacy?
Oh wait you are a developer, so that doesnt matter to you does it? You aren't doing a very good job championing the Epic store here.
