Season 2 Epic Exclusivity

[GhostRyter]

Is it a timed exclusive or never coming to Steam? Pretty disappointing...

[alenjenny]

so far, all epic exclusive titles are 1 year timed. Still disappointing though

We've known it was an Epic exclusive since the New Telltale announced the game was happening again.

Somehow I was oblivious to this until I saw the new trailer.

Epic helped Telltale get their team back together to complete the Walking Dead series back when Telltale shut down. So maybe this is more than just Epic paying to an exclusive, maybe it is part of an ongoing relationship Telltale have with Epic. The game wont be coming to Epic until 2023 anyway, so it will be a long wait until it hits Steam.

They provided funding to Skybound who have no connection to Wolf Among Us.

So why exactly is this an issue ?

I don't support Epic or their practices. I will either wait for a Steam release, or just get it on my PS4 instead.

Not true.

Kingdom Hearts seems to be a permanent exclusive of Epic Fail

Same here, I will wait for it to come to Steam and for when it's on sale for five or ten dollars. I don't care if it takes five years.

I am not buying it on Epic and I am not going to pay full price for year old game when it hits Steam.

Also, what about this story line - Bigby is in Anger Management? - I don't know...

Kingdom Hearts' PC ports (yes, ALL of them) have been held at gunpoint by them for well over a year, March 30th will mark the two year point. I seriously doubt it's the only example of them holding exclusivity for over a year, but it's definitely the highest profile series that I actually have some interest in.

I can only hope that tWaU season 2 isn't added to that list. If there's even a whiff of forced EGS components in the files when and if it does get a Steam port like they did with Returnal, it'll be the hardest of passes from me.

Welp, it just hit my ignore list, don't do epic sloppy seconds.
