salt and sacrifice in epic store but not in here why?

devs explain your heresy in here

S&S is a playstation exclusive, which is why you can't play it on steam.

[Kioshi]

exclusive what? go to the epic store and you see it

Epic $$$. Then again, you were never looking for an "explanation" but a confession of greed.

Man this sucks. I know it was free last year on Epic but I bought it on Steam so I want to have its follow-up also on steam. Epic is nothing else than ripping communities apart and game devs and publisher participate. if the Epic Games Launcher wasnt that thrash people would buy there without the need of exclusives. I know money is money and everybody needs it even or especially small dev teams, but to have a sequel exclusive on a different platform feels not good for me. Sorry but it was an instabuy for me on Steam. But as long as there are other good games... Hope Ska games feeling good making money with a game launching it exclusive instead of selling the game. Why develop games at all?

[Warlock]

To add: i dont want ska games anything bad. so if you want to buy it on Epic: its out on 11. may 22.

They develop games for people to play them and to make money. They made money by selling it only on epic, and people that want to play the game instead of worshipping a store will play it.

Ah yes, shouldnt it be the intention to develop a good game and it will be selling to "people that want to play the game" instead of making money through making it exclusive? Its not about whorshipping, you can spare your exaggeration here. There are so many examples of good indie games selling very good and making good money on steam without being exclusive on epic.

By now everyone should finally know that epic exclusives are ALWAYS a lose situation for the customer. What do you think why so many devs launching it exclusive on epic? Because they are so close to their community? Who made it possible that they could do a sequel in the first place? From a dev perspective: a) its selling bad on epic -> well it is exclusive so they made money nonetheless, b) its selling good on epic -> double win for dev, c) it's launching 1 year later on steam and selling both bad on steam and epic, maybe the game was ♥♥♥♥ or people protesting -> safe money from epic, d) now you have the options it was a bad/good sell on steam/epic and bad/good on the other... you guessed it right from a dev perspective it was always the right decision to make the game epic exclusives and the share is even bigger.

So to us "steam whorshippers" explain me please where the customer is? What is the benefit here for US gamers "who want to play the game" and making it possible to develop and releasing games because we are the ones putting money into it. They get the bigger share but games are sometimes even mor expensive but never cheaper as it was mentioned or promised by epic years back. Why it has something to do with whorshipping if I could choose the store I buy my games I have all my games since nearly 20 years? And not just free games I will mostly never play. Games I bought back then PHYSICALLY and still have here as a box. And I say it again if it was game XY from a new dev team I would say nothing, the risk for them is less high when releasing on Epic. But they have already released games here, they have a community, they sold games here. And it just feels stupid for me having Part 1 and Part 2 of a game in different stores.

I am here since 2004 and have more than 150 games here. I DONT want to have my games somewhere else. I just dont. And Epic can even feed me for the next 5 years with free games I never touch. I dont want to buy my games there. And again it has nothing to do with whorshipping. Everyone can do as he pleases but if it wasnt a "shady" practice and like in so many places nowadays just customer unfriendly I choose not to buy there and if you remember my points above -> from a business side the right decision. Customer cant win here.

Love this game but not buying sequel until it comes on Steam, and if it never does, well I guess I'll never buy it then. ♥♥♥♥ Epic store.

[Shinner]

well in my experience, I came to know this game when browsing steam. At least they should release the sequel on steam since steam does in part kick start their popularity and gain both fans & customers. Imagine if they release it on Origin instead of Steam, pretty sure this game will not be successful as it is now. After looking on some gameplay & trailers of the new sequel, imo it feels somewhat inferior to this game tho I cant explain what is missing

[Faerador]

Yeah, I'll wait until it comes out on Steam. No real loss.

[Rammur]

not greed just choices nobody forces devs to go to epic i dont blame them tbh this community gotten so toxic over the years i dont blame em. either way game playable steam or epic. why should i care what platform to play it on.

[stevo]

Funnily enough going Epic store has probably killed any hype or marketing for this. It's not being talked about at all. Even people like SkillUp when advertising good up and coming indies completely missed it.

You take the Epic money, you take the tumbleweed that comes with it as an indie.

In due time, i am sure it'll show up here as well and if so, i'll probably pick it up.. after the price is in the bargain bin range.

Easy wait when it comes to EGS exclusives, plenty of patience so can wait the price out..

[bizarre]

♥♥♥♥ epic and steam.

[Ｔｅｎｓｅｎｕｍａ]

I've been wanting a sequel to this game for years and they make it EGS.
Yeah I don't care about this game anymore. You really hate to see it.
