The sequel will be an utter failure on pc because...

[solaris32]

Because nobody buys games on epic. The sequel is going to be Epic exclusive. This means no one will buy the game on pc. It's also a slap in the face to us pc players that bought the game and defended you all these years and praised you for your tireless efforts to fix and improve the game, making what I consider the best souls game period. All this will be destroyed if you go Epic exclusive for the sequel.

Look at Alan Wake 2, that game still hasn't made a profit on pc a year later because it's an Epic exclusive and no one bought it on Epic.

Do whatever it takes to break your contract with Epic and save your company and your reputation.

Thank you for reading.

I don't understand how the CEO is so based yet made a deal with Epic to forsake his biggest fans.

Wow, no wonder they desperately tried to appeal to chuds.

Mid game AND it's only on a platform that's second string...

Yikes.

What's all this appealing to chuds thing? Why is the woke crowd so angry?

So you're saying competition between 2 platforms on pc isn't actually healthy and you want steam to continue allowing publishers to price gouge us? simply because you dislike the epic client? how low can we go on the steam forums outside of woke and dei whining

Steam doesn't gouge anyone, the devs/pubs make the price the customer pays. If lowered store commission is such a good thing, then why aren't Epic exclusive games cheaper? Checkmate.

Certain regions are price gouged on steam by publishers, this isn't new, but a quick glance at crysis remastered trilogy on epic is 44.99gbp without sales, the same trilogy on steam is 74.99gbp without sales, mind explaining that one? Quick edit, this is just from glancing at the front pages, there might be even more, but you probably won't care

Certainly I can explain it. That is the fault of the publisher who can adjust prices by region at any time. Get mad at them, not Valve.
Can you explain to me why if Epic gets a lower commission that Epic exclusives aren't cheaper? For example the Kingdom Hearts games that were on Epic for over THREE years were priced at $50-$60 which is industry standard. Why weren't they cheaper? And many other epic exclusives like Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition is $70 which is the same exact price it costs for a physical console copy. Microsoft and Sony get the same commission as Steam. So why is it a digital game that has no manufacturing costs is the same price on Epic, who charges a much lower commission fee, as it is for consoles?
Checkmate again.

I don't get what the fuss is about.
It will stay an Epic exclusive for a year and then it will come to Steam with a good discount.
Just like Assassin's Creed Mirage.
Win-Win!

Because they're losing.

The publisher already revealed that the Lords of the Fallen sequel will be a permanent Epic Game Store exclusive, never coming to Steam. The same as Alan Wake 2.
Epic's new strategy is true exclusives and Lords of the Fallen is unanimously praised as the one true From Software games' competitor so it makes sense.

I'm betting both games will end up in Steam at some point.

Don't worry. The sequel will be an utter failure just like this one no matter what platform it's on.

Which is why the sequel being a permanent EGS exclusive was the perfect move: if the game is going to bomb on PC no matter what, at least you get the exclusivity money from Epic.

It's going to bomb now. It would have been a success due to the good will and trust they HAD earned from working on this game for so long. And all that trust and earned success will be gone if they don't break the contract with Epic.

Because I will never ever spend a single penny on the EGS for any reason! I won't even download games for free! I would sooner buy it full price on Steam than get it free on Epic.
