Never forget: This game was an Epic exclusive game.

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria was an Epic exclusive game, if you don't want to support greed stay away from this game.

That's all folks, have a nice day.

This game was an Epic exclusive and it's garbage. With horrible combat, mediocre graphics, nothing good to see here. At least it's better than Gollum LOL.

Did you play Return to Moria? I think it is a hidden gem with lot's of unique features and a great atmosphere. Combat is simple but fun with a few nice mechanics. The visual art style is great and it features a lot of great setpieces that are simply beautiful.

I guess you have no idea why indie developers go for the "epic exclusive".
Think before speaking next time

For that sweet, sweet exclusivity money. At the cost of potential customers on Steam at a later date.

epic launcher is horrible ...

What you see as "supporting greed" I see as helping smaller studios stay afloat. I don't know if you have noticed, but smaller studios are struggling and a launch on Steam first doesn't guarantee anything these days.

As for the game itself, it is good but the combat does suck.

I mean, sure if you're willing to trade integrity for stability. To a certain extent, I can't blame them, but also it's not like that exonerates them of having chosen money of morals. And it's certainly questionable just how valuable that money is when compared to losses over time from people losing interest in your product, trust lost from engaging in arguably petty deals, and people who will just outright refuse to do business with your company for whatever other reason.

I would say if you value your reputation, taking Epic's money is almost always a loss and, IIRC, there've been a number of stories that would seem to exonerate that belief.

How is a timed exclusive for a game immoral?

This liitle fanboy nonsense about digital stores is so tiring. Compareable to Sony vs. XBox children and their little tantrums. Nobody cares where you buy your games and where you see the need to boycott small developers. Added to my wishlist, will buy on sale for 10$ or less. Have a nice week, folks.

It seems excessive, banal and useless to me to try to boycott a valid product just because it was first distributed on a non-Valve platform.

We must judge the game product for what it is and not for the platform on which it was or was not distributed.

Hope it comes to steam or even better GOG
