If I bought Satisfactory through Epic...

[SourceUnknown]

Am I able to transfer it to Steam? I supported the game when it was on Epic and I dont really like Epic to begin with, but I wanted to support the game and I am not buying it again here. Would be great to get it here somehow....

You can't transfer purchase.

All you can do is buy it on steam. Your saves can be transferred easily if not even automatically

Yeah, Not buying it again... money wasted and I shouldve just waited till it hit Steam. Lesson learned.

You can run the exe through steam, but that is it

I know how do you feel.,..
I did a similar mistake with Diablo 4 purchased at blizzard...

Luckily don't play diablo 4 anymore and don't want to.... As I found that is a bad game.... And now for Diablo 4 I only regret purchase in first place...

Back to satisfactory I took it on Steam, as impulse buy for a friend suggestion... At the time was thinking that I really don't like the genre but could give it a try....

And whoa... After years I'm still on it like first day

Its a great game but I dont want to run it through Epic anymore. As for adding it to Steam, it still brings up the Epic launcher... and thats just as bad. You would think if I supported the game I could take it anywhere and play it, no matter what platform. I wish the Devs would cut me a break, I supported them, now support me, please....

I refuse to buy again even on sale... Just going to chalk this up as a learning experience. Ill never buy again on Epic and wait till games hit Steam, if they ever. If not, still not buying. Dev/Pub loss, not mine.

Are you suggesting that Coffee Stain now owes you a steam copy just cause you feel you deserve it? Cause thats not really how that works.

No, but transfering my copy to Steam would be nice. I did buy it after all and should be able to play it with or without Epic or even Steam for that matter. But you keep buying copy after copy on each platform, I`ll pass...

I don’t "buy copy after copy on each platform". Don’t put words into my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mouth. I hate Epic as much as the next person and will never use anything except steam.

Then PAY the platform for the SERVICE you request.
What you are asking for is for STEAM to give you FREE access to their hardware infrastructure, and that costs money.

People have already explained to you that you can run the exe just fine.
CSS is not "gatekeeping" you or forcing you to start it through epic, just double click the exe file like in the old days. You don't need access to the internet, there is no DRM.

So if you want to use steams service, download servers, save syncronization etc, PAY for that service by buying the game on the platform.

Easy, we are having a discussion, not a boxing match. However, you did assume I was owed something, thats not the case. We both agree on Epic. As I said BEFORE, I thought I would at least ask if there was some way to get my copy over to Steam, however, that looks grim and I`ll chalk it up as a learning experience and never buy on Epic again.

Yes, that is exactly what you're suggesting. The fact that you consider this is beyond ridiculous and shows mindblowing levels of entitlement and/or complete lack of understanding of reality.

CSS did not sell you the game. Epic Store sold you the game. Neither Steam nor CSS are under any obligation to transfer the game. CSS, Epic and Steam are separate companies. CSS makes a product and Epic and Steam sell it.

Say, you bought a physical copy of a game on a disk from Game Store A, lost it or broke it. You can't go to a Game Store B and demand another disk because you already bough it elsewhere. They'll laugh you out of the door. You may get some luck asking Game Store A for a replacement but Game Store B has zero responsibility to give you another copy of the game.

You made a mistake. Own up to it. Don't put the responsibility on others to fix your own mistakes.

Fair enough, Didnt think about that, so bad on me. Still, when you buy media, no matter if its digital, we, as consumers, should be able to use that media without having to use a platform to use it. If I could DL it to my storage and install it when I wanted, I wouldnt complain. But, thats not the case now. Everyone forgot what it was like to own their physical copy of something and be able to do with it as they see fit, now, you cant. You gotta use someones platform or you cant use the media you bought. Sad, and people accept it... but, I see your point and fully agree.

Easy Social Justice Warrior.... its a conversation, not a boxing match. I as well as you, make mistakes. Last poster set me straight with some facts. Dont assume something to elevate your soapbox position, it doesnt make you look any more righteous.
