Ah yeah, Left 4 Dead, the game that was in development starting in Mid 2005 by Turtle Rock, announced in 2006, and then Valve bought Turtle Rock in January 2008 and the game released for the PC for Steam only in October 2008. Did anyone complain about that?
From the PC Building Simulator wiki -
Now tell me how did PC Building Simulator 2, the sequel to PC Building Simulator, end up being an Epic self publish? Could it be possibly be somewhere along the same lines as games such as Rocket League or Fall Guys, two games that built up huge community support due to Steam, not to mention the free advertising?
Valve has not sold their games via other digital stores as no other store offers a new market, no other store has the community that Steam has. Uplay, Origin and EGS offer very little in features while suffocating customer feedback. Both Uplay and Origin are disliked by many, perhaps most, PC gamers, only being tolerated via Steam. GOG has it's history drenched in piracy, while Tim Sweeney despises PC gamers which rules out EGS. Both Ubisoft and EGS are backing NFT's, something we see Valve take a stance against due to the undesirable actors.
It shows that other stores are very willing to sell through a third party store to gain sales. Do you really need this much hand holding? I've already said there is nothing stopping you from selling Valve titles on your own store, you just have to find a new market for them.
This holds little water when pretty much most pirated games come from the steam version and not even from the drm free gog versions.
You're saying this but Valve/Steam also isn't willing to sell through a third party store. And actually there is something stopping anyone from selling Valve games outside of Steam. And that's Valve.
One specific case I mentioned is Turtle Rock Studio who Valve bought and their games were exclusive to Steam while Valve owned them. They left Valve, Back 4 Blood, their newest game isn't only available on Steam.
Edit: Also when Steam first launched, it didn't offer much new when it came to features either and yet Valve only ever made their games and games of Studios they owned exclusive to Steam. They never used a third party store to try and expand their sales. They wanted the only option to be Steam.
Epic owns the IP because they own the developers/publisher who made/published the first game.
PC Building Simulator 2 is a game not even released yet, since Epic is currently developing the game, therefore it doesn't have any kind of current user base on Steam.
Prove that Valve would be willing to have their games on other digital stores for the PC. And there is something stopping other stores from selling Valve's games, and that is Valve themselves. Obviously if Valve wanted to sell on other stores, then they would sell on other stores, something they have not done at all.
Are you done speaking complete non sense yet?
PC Building Simulator IP is owned by Epic Games.
Epic Games is funding the development of the game
Epic Games in house developer studio is developing the game, along with an outside source for support
Epic games is self publishing the game
This makes PC Building Simulator 2 a first party game for Epic Games
Just like what Valve does with their own games by making them exclusive to their own store, Epic is also making this game which is their own a game exclusive to their own store.
It's actually quite similar to how Epics IPs and Unreal Engine even before the store require Epic's own launcher. Epic is pretty much doing the same thing Valve did with Steam.
Since it is a sequel to this game, I expect PCBS2 to be a great game as well.
However, EPIC's service for users is far inferior to Valve's.
There is no forum for such active discussions and no Workshop where mods are available.
If there is a problem, will the developers get your opinion?
No matter how low the selling price is, I will not buy it in its current state.
Goodbye PC Building Simulator
I mean the official discord gives you almost immediate access to the devs... There's always a dev there answering questions and getting feedback. Even for the console versions. The devs are also on Reddit.
As for mods I usually tend to prefer Nexus over steam anyway since mods work for more than just steam versions.
It's too easy to stay to basics, me as a consumer and gamer, look at it very simple. I as a consumer have the right to say Nope, you're no longer getting my money, and this is what I do all the time. ALL THE TIME. I have boycotted Ubisoft, Epic, even Blizzard before it was bought out. Because of the practices these companies use.
The most basic and simple example is this, if you release your product in lets say for example another country, and ONLY that country, a few things happen here, first and foremost, exclusion of true fans and die hards that are not in that country, they will wait and buy it when it becomes available in their country. But there will also be a great number of people that will watch reviews to see the outcome. If the exclusive was for a year let's say, then the rest of the world would wait and review as well while watching content creators go at it. When it's fully released then you have this stigma that people already know your game, but now that you're available to everyone, your hype well ended a year ago upon launch, no one really cares that you're now cross platform with a handful of discord clicks that want to play with each other and rando games.
Honestly if I was the devs with this kind of system I personally would be trying to set up something with CompTia make some legit IT classes. But that's merely my 2 cents, I would have sold out to college and education any day of the week over, Epic.

Got to love the goal post moving of the r/f--kepic people will always move goal posts. people always talked about first party games are acceptable because the games wouldn't exist otherwise, or because the first party is taking on all the risk, well here is a first party game, and you people move goal posts to still complain about it. Up next, Epic creates a new game using something like Star Wars, and the peanut gallery would move goal posts once again. For as long as any game isn't on Steam be first or third party, people will complain about it and then be hypocrites by talking about stealing the game.
