The Outer Worlds Steam Launch Date - October 23, 2020

[Obsidian Shyla]

Greetings future employees of Halcyon,

We are excited to share with you that we now have an official start date for when your duties will begin on the Halcyon Colony!
Mark your calendars, as your deployment will begin on October 23, 2020!

Exciting and productive areas wait for you, such as the fantastic Saltuna Cannery in Edgewater! You will be able to take in all the smells and sights, and even treat yourself to the fine products the Halcyon Holdings Corporation are proud to make and distribute to spacers across the colony.

We do feel compelled to warn you about the dangerous monsters you may encounter during your stay, or worse, the unemployed. It is best to avoid them should you come across them, as any damage you sustain to yourself is considered damage to company property, and you will be penalized. Stay faithful to your assigned tasks, and this shouldn't be an issue.

There is a lot more we will need to cover. You have two weeks to prepare, so make the most of this time. We look forward to welcoming you to Halcyon soon!

Greetings greedy publisher...

We are excited to tell you we won't be buying your game now because you gave us a middle finger about a year ago and we remember.
Mark your calendards and know we won't be buying this until its dirt cheap years from now.

We do feel compelled to warn you to avoid being customer unfriendly in the future as we won't be buying any future games you publish/make until you start treating us with some customer focus in mind.

Don't forget, we gamers pay your bills.

Can't wait to play it!

Considering it's AAA priced on epic store I don't hold much hope for price reduction here. So, will wait for a good discout even if it's a couple of years from now.

[Sempavor]

Too late, I'm not interested anymore in this title.

[Ace-Educator]

Would've been nice to see the price, and the state of the DLC. I am inferring/hoping we get an all in one discount package for being patient :D

[Sparhawk122]

The novelty of this game has worn off now anyway. And from reports it is way too lacking in content and the writing is written from a childish perspective.

[Doko]

A year later and my hype is dead.

I've no interest in buying the game at this point, that and I don't want to support the message that it's somehow okay for you guys to screw consumer choice over.

Your game will probably sell decently here, but I doubt you're sorry or that you'll learn any sort of lesson from this.

[Ace-Educator]

Remember dudes, it wasn't the developers, it was the publishers. Obsidian had no choice, they made the game, but the publishers sell it.

[Replica]

Hi, I look forward to supporting the developers and therefore reminding the publishers that Epic isn't where they'll make money. Thank you Obsidian and I absolutely can't wait. ^-^ /

[Drago_28]

took you long enough lol

[mit]

Finally! I've waited a whole year for this moment. No thanks to that greedy publisher of yours and stupid Epic exlusives... But I know you had no other choice, Obsidian. You're still one of my favorite game studios.

I'll buy it as soon as possible. A big thanks from an old fan for making this game, Obsidian.

epic did that with metro exodus too if memory serves, bumped the price up before the steam release so the publisher could justify charging a higher price. typical cash grab tactics. will be waiting till it's under $20 including tax.

Yeah, nice try with that considering it's been on the Windows Store and I doubt MS will bump their price to match Epic. Most games that were on Epic like this get a discount on launch.

This is wanted on Steam and no, this isn't an endorsement of full price- just the mentality behind this statement. Epic wants to paint themselves as the saviours and trick publishers into thinking they are better off there. Complaining about a game we know will probably launch here at a significant discount when they could have launched here Day One without one is a bit silly.

They've already suffered for the choice. No company has been praised for Epic exclusivity, they've all shouldered the blame while Epic bribes gamers they consider stupid (they also think you shouldn't have a say) to drink the kool-aid.
Epic is trying to build themselves up to be like Sony. The best thing you can do to fight this is by supporting devs and companies so they realize there's an alternative. Otherwise, you'll start seeing pure exclusives, not just timed. You prove Epic's argument for them by boycotting devs and companies who come to Steam and other platforms after the period ends.
