Is this available on Epic Store?

Is this coming out on Epic?

[Zarinthal]

I don't think so, just steam, windows, and console afaik

[Tamika]

ewwww Epic store, why on earth would anyone use that thing. Steam is better.

[VerrucktMedic]

No, it’s not available on EGS, at least not at the time of writing.

What.. someone prefers that over Steam where you can actually ask such a question(no forums or reviews on Epic)? Odd. Probably trolling, as they have a private profile as well.

Well, dev studios and publishers have a habit of giving their games away for free on EGS.
Subnautica being free there was an insult to every EA contributer.
Maybe SES will do the same in the future, but we shall keep the faith.

Publishers and Dev's don't give their games away for free on Epic. Epic eats the predetermined price of the games they give away. The Publishers and Dev's still get money for them. Just like what Origin used to do. It's a way to try to get players to use their platform.

This is so idiotic & not true. Only time I've seen people complain about games going free is FPS or multiplayer games because of the cheaters easily getting new accounts. So yeah, funny how I see price cuts and free game complaints only when epic entered the picture. if I backed up an EA game and it became free (I have) - it wouldn't be an insult. It's their game, they can choose to set the price, and no one forced me to pay. Also expands the community in single player games. Idk, get a grip if you have that mindset.

Epic doesnt like to play with everyone, either they have it and no one else, or they arent interested.

think about that before you speak again of epic.

I'm not an EGS fan by a long shot. But this certainly is not true.

It's really hilarious to me that people act like exclusivity, even on PC, is a new thing. There are buttloads of Steam-exclusive games, more than any other publisher, more even than there are console exclusives, and nobody ever complains about that. Only when a non-steam store gets an exclusive do they lose their minds.

Just because its on steam only does not mean it is steam exclusive. Exclusive means... the only place you can get it because the devs said so.

I wouldn't even mind EGS, if they actually offered a good platform. Why would I spend the same amount of money on a game there, and get less support/services? For Christs sake they don't even have a discussion thread. People literally come here to talk about games on EGS. They're greatly lacking.

Not many players blame companies to make THEIR games available only on their platform. I think a lot more people would be pretty heated if epic made the exclusives permanent. If they were to ever go that route, then they’ll get called out on it for sure. And yeah it’s been around for things like consoles etc, but players always hated that too. We never gave pats on the back for that.

As for Epic with temporary exclusives, it’s not ideal but I’m okay with it. Just hope it doesn’t push steam or themselves to go further than that. I think they’re capable of making a successful/decent platform without having to resort to such things at the end of the day.

wow, someone missed the point entirely! exclusivity, in itself, isn't the problem. A company BUYING exclusivity for the sole sake of reducing competition at the expense of the end-user (i.e you) IS a new thing, and something customers should not support. Especially from a Chinese gaming conglomerate like Tencent. It's totally different from consoles where the purpose of exclusivity is to support the sale of, and investment in, hardware. This is artificially implemented at the end of a development cycle, where they pick and choose winners/losers and give the developers a boat-load of cash in a blatant attempt to subvert competition and steal market-share from Steam.

It's utterly ridiculous to me that people try to rationalize this anti-consumer behavior. It doesn't serve anyone's interest but their own, and it's especially egregious considering the sad, underdeveloped state of the platform itself. They know they can't compete on the basis of the ACTUAL PRODUCT, so they undermine market forces in an attempt to STEAL market share instead of winning it through competition. It's a disgusting practice imo.
