Free at EPIC Games

[Javito]

As of January 30 it is free at EPIC Games.
I have all editions since 2008, as of 2011 on Steam.
Thanks to that news about EPIC Games I will no longer buy editions.

I didn't expect Giants to fall so low.

great :D

Whilst that is the case, it's likely a one off to attract new customers to the franchise.

The game has been out for over a year and presumably there will be a fully fledged sequel releasing on PC at some point, a financial injection and increased player base will likely benefit development and scope for the future.

Whilst existing customers such as yourself may initially feel a little betrayed, overall I think it could be a positive move.

Are you able to use Steam mods though, using the Epic games version? Since EPIC has their own launcher and all...

There are no Steam mods for FS19, so that's not even an issue. You either get them through the in-game mod hub or from third-party sites.

A different store offers a sale or a promo and you lose your shirt, OP? How entitled and immature of you.

Spending money when you don't have to is ridiculous. The OP is right to be happy.

Unless you're being sarcastic, you may want to read the OP again.

Nice , glad i never bought this now, epic store is going nuts with all these freebies, it worked though i suppose i did buy detroit become human and metro exodus over the holiday period, all be it at a nice discount with the coupons.

No matter what Epic does I will never us them. As many hours as I get in Farming Simulator games they are well worth the money and I am happy to support the developers so they can continue to make them.

i've heard this argument about supporting those poor starving devs before ... when a lot of the devs who work for the big software houses are practically millionaires made by people who think like you.

Steam takes a larger cut than Epic. Otherwise you should be buying direct from giants as it cuts out steam and they get all the money.

You don't like the store fine but there's nothing holy about steam.

When I bought my first FS dvd from a store it was nothing more than Steam installer with a link to download FS13 through Steam.

[Boatabike]

I do not care which installer folk want to use, but personally i want just one. If games i really want are not being put onto steam then i may clutter up my comp with more than one but that is not my first choice. and i am as likely to just not buy that game and go for something else instead. I hope FS can sell across both, so all are happy, not just one.
