Is this going to use EOS?

Epic Online Services sucks and causes all kinds of problems.

I sure as hell hope it does. How else would they do Epic/Steam Crossplay ?

Why would they need to? No one uses Epic.

I played the first on epic only cuz I got it for free

They added EOS to the first game after launch, I think it's a safe bet to say that this one is going to launch with it. Especially given Queerbox's love of Epic's peen.

That's a really weird way of saying that it's just easier to use Epic's built-in crossplay system that is free for developers.

If Steam did that, more devs would probably just go that route, just like all the games you see using Remote Play Together. But they don't.

OP's reason for asking the question in the first place was because EOS "sucks and causes all kinds of problems". OP's words not mine.

I'm not quite sure how you managed to take my words as meaning its easier to use Epic's crossplay. I was giving the OP an overly descriptive yes/no answer to the question.

My pre order from GMG states my key is for steam, I think the days of Epic Games exclusives is over, thank god.

Eh, you and the OP both seem to have vague "queerbox loves epic's epeen" sentiments, so I explained that there is a reason that dev teams use Epic's crossplay feature.

Because it's free and it's already built. And Steam doesn't have an equivalent that they offer developers.

If they did, more devs would use it.

Some crossplay is generally seen as better than no crossplay, so we got what we got.

Dumbest thing I've heard in a very long time. The monthly active user base is 56 million, mostly thanks to their free game giveaways.

You just said the flaw with that number "mostly for the free games." 99% of those people never actually buy anything so those numbers mean nothing. It's precisely why Epic pays for the free game giveaways, to artificially inflate the userbase so they can show ignorant devs they're trying to bribe "see? We have 56 million monthly active users!"

I don't want to play with Epic users either. https://www.reddit.com/r/♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥/comments/14hx2tr/someone_made_a_mod_for_payday_2_thats_auto_kicks/

Epic haters want nothing from epic but still playing games made with unreal engine is one of the dumbest thing I know.

Unreal Engine is a good engine. No problems there. It's the EGS and the anti-consumer tactics they use that we have problems with.

So providing a service that helps gamers to play together across stores/platforms is anti-consumer?

Which consumers are you represent? The whole gaming community or just steam fanboys?

No but EOS is well documented as lowering performance and causing bugs for people. Many people had this complaint about the original Remnant when it got added later after release.
