No most of the time if a game is EGS exclusive I will forget it ever came out. Talking to my friends on discord about x game and we will suddenly realize it came out 4 months ago on EGS and none of us knew it.
I turned around the other way on it, I had no problem using it and playing the free games on there. Nowadays I'd still rather buy and play stuff on Steam even if I already have it for free on EGS.
As an aside, if we are talking about some toxic posting it's posts like the two examples above.
"But, then again, I'm not really a launcher fanboy so I don't REALLY care which button I click to play the game I want on PC."
BANNABLE?
What in the heck is with some of yall.
"I don't really us the thing so I'm not super-attached to one or the other platform. As someone who isn't, my perspective is different than those who are entrenched in specific PC gaming store ecosystems. If a game is only playable on one launcher and I want to play that game, that is where I will buy the game."
As an aside, if we are talking about some toxic posting it's posts like the two examples above. I'm sharing a perspective of someone who super-casually plays on PC. It isn't some afront against proper discourse or some sort of morally bad take that needs POLICED OFF OF THE INTERNET.
I was always curious to find out how many games have they given out for free so far? I may have missed a few xDi only claim the free game
didn't spend a single dime
it's like F2P store, however i still didn't even install a single game yet.
been claiming free games since 2015
only game i dindn't claim was Vampyr because it was region locked game.
I survived through early Steam, so the EGS hate never made sense to me.
In fear of being banned (lol?), it is just another launcher to me. It falls short of Steam's features, but I only use pc launchers to launch games. Don't care about friend lists (use discord), achievements, profiles, etc. I just buy games where they are cheapest whether it be steam, gog, epic or whatever.
Mechwarrior 5 had mod support, but I don't know if that was explicitly due to anything Epic did with the stores backend.Oh god I just searched it...mod support was on the roadmap XD did that ever happen?
Thing is, EGS has made almost zero progress in the way of transitioning out of the "early Steam" phase. They can't claim to not have the money for it.I survived through early Steam, so the EGS hate never made sense to me.
It's just a click here to buy digital storefront like Steam. I don't care if they have exclusives because I didn't swear fealty to steam. While I can understand frustrations with console exclusives because that requires a big investment into a console, if you have a PC what does it matter which store icon on your desktop you click to purchase the game you want to buy.
