This game should have been on Steam day 1, now it's too late

This game being only on epic games was what killed it, and that's a shame cuz this game is fun AF i had a lot of fun playing it some years ago, but epic games launcher is so trash that made me just give up on that store.

Now that the game is dead you bring it to Steam?, well i hope it helps cuz it's a shame to see a game that is so fun dying cuz epic games exclusivity.

Epic games is a cancer for the PC gamer experience, so thanks for bringing it to Steam hope this game manage to make a come back, one can dream...

I just reinstalled it on Epic Games, and it'll never be a popular game. Even if it did come to Steam, the same time it did as Epic, the game would still be left with a whopping maybe 1K players on PC.

Most, if not everyone I've seen after reinstalling it are playing the game on console (which isn't a bad thing).

After reinstalling it, and starting brand new, I couldn't figure out what the hell I was supposed to do for 30-45 minutes running around the town, because the game basically told me nothing. Did not show me hotkeys, or how to get to the menu I needed to get to in order to progress. If that's the new player experience, Steam isn't going to help whatsoever.

Not to mention the game is literally a "Monster Rush Arena". It was neat going back to see that each map had more than one monster on it to hunt, but incredibly boring, as the map space is limited, and the combat zone you fight it remains in a limited battle zone for each monster. None of them make any attempts to run away, or limp, or move zones, from what I could see, no monsters actually fight each other like "turf Wars'. All in all, just a boring experience.

The very first quest, or what resembles that, where the quest marker wants you to go, took me a godamned Microtransaction cosmetic shop. If that's literally where the very first quest brings you... May god have mercy on this games soul.

Even when coming to Steam, it’s requiring an EGS account

That alone is gonna kill any popularity it might have

That’s precisely the problem. Back then, I was a Baker and thoroughly enjoyed playing the game. Then Epic came along, and it was off my hard drive faster than you could say “amen.” It wasn’t just me - many guilds and communities felt the same way. Unfortunately, the developers seemed blind to this, perhaps tempted by the quick cash Epic dangled in front of them. A shame, really. I doubt it will make much of a difference now, but at least it’s a step - albeit a desperate one - in the right direction.

Late launch + Epic store drama = hard pass for me. not gonna bother installing it

If you play games you'd have Epic installed. Nothing missed.

I mean, game is still popular, i easely found players on island hunts and excalations (5-10s search lenght) few days ago, if that is not prove of popularity, then i don't know what is. Also players are from different platforms - recently had party with xbox, PS and some other mini platform in the same lobby. Main town is full of players at any time of the day. And now additional Steam playerbase will be added on top of already quite alive comunity, making it even bigger.

Never had any problems with Epic Store, nor Steam Store, using both 50/50. Not sure why people still cry about Epic like it is some sort of Satan incarnate. I got about 300 games from it for free, including Brotato, BearAndBreakfast and MeatBoyForever just recently. Overall quality of games in Epic also manyfold higher without endless ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crap releasing daily.

Besides, this is not just 'late launch', this is complete game rework, just devs decided not to go full of themself and call it PoE '2', cough, i mean Dauntless 2. And it's free, not some 10-y long EA and not 'pay us $30 to get access'.

making you set up an epic account is greed???? Lots of titles require secondary accounts this isn't any different. Y'all pick the wildest ♥♥♥♥ to cry over.
