Epic store vs steam ?

[White Wolf]

I had the game on steam and it worked fine for the first day after that it crashed and then it wont get passed the seizure warning.

I refunded the game and i was wondering if this problem is on steam only.

So do you have any idea how it runs on the epic store ? And should i get it there ?

The problem is how do you dl everything you own on steam. If steam ever died you probably have a month or maybe 2 to dl everything. And if you have 100's of games that's a lot of bandwidth and hard drives your going to need.

Digital has its perks sure, but also a lot of issues

If anyone ever cares too, should you actually read the EULA for most games these days, you don't own a copy of the games you buy anyways. Not for digital anyway. You own a license to play them. That license might include the right to download and install copies, but some EULA's will clearly state that, if the publisher wants to revoke your license, they are at liberty to do so and you can do nothing about it.

That's what we get for letting the pc market go almost entirely digital.

As someone that owns it on both stores, the only difference is you don't have the steam overlay on the epic store version. Outside of that the game is identical. It runs the same.

LOL.

It was probably failing to pre-compile the shaders if it happened at that screen... which means it will probably still happen in epic.

Did you try literally any troubleshooting steps?

Choices and priorities. For example, Antihero is good and fun, but without server (edit : multiplayer servers that is) : out of the window.
For preservation itself at least it "should" be assured, as servers dedicated to that exists. For little consumers like me and you ... choices, external hard drives, and priorities.

Yeah; i still remember my first PC and EULA of the PC ... since that day it worsened for the hardware, and the software is even worse :') At least at lot of games could be safegarded nowaday still, except "live services" and this ... Stadia abomination thing. A lot, but absolutely not all, and as you said, the pool shrinks ...
But that has nothing to do with the digital tooling or not. It has to do with the "the part of the program you spend your money on, that is on a distant server, under the control of someone that is not you, and can be shut down when that someone feels like it" : digital enables it and allows it; but the culprit is greed.

Epic games...
Gross go away

It's best just to stick with 1 platform majority of the time so you can keep all your games in 1 place, unless you REALLY want to play a game.

But anyway the performance is not related to either steam or epic.

I personally prefer all my games to be on steam obviously and I don't mind waiting the extra year for it to come out on steam, there are some exceptions like Overwatch which I don't think will ever come to steam, but it's F2P now so if it does, it'll be easy to switch over lol.

Everyone is going multiplatform these days. Even Sony has seen the light and is selling it's back catalogue on Steam. Nintendo is the last hold out and frankly, they've always been the same. Totally removed from the rest of the market. They'll go bust before they share their catalogue with anyone else.

GoG was trying to convince the other storefronts to come together and enable library share between storefronts but no-one else wanted that. While no one has an actual monopoly to protect, library share would create an old school competitive marketplace that would have forced pricing wars. Good for consumers, bad for the likes of Steam/Epic and all the publishers.

Shame really. The majority of my games are on Steam, small collection on GoG. But being able to merge those libraries and access them from both stores. That would have been nice.

You should ask that on the epic-store forums - oh wait - just read some of the reviews there - oh wait? I also thnk its cheaper there since we all know that epic taking less cut for some time will make games cheaper - oh wait.

/facepalm

Im really glad epic-store exists - how else would we be able to have timed exclusives on certain stored - thats so awesome. Nothing more fun than having some awful store making games time-exclusive or even worse buying the games you already paid for and force you to make an account on a crappy store to continue playing games you already paid for ... - but i guess thats how you get new people on your store if they dont want to join your store themselves out of their own free will ...


I wont even try to answer your question because of how absurd it is.

This actually is news to me.

because it isn't true at all, that is why it is news to you.

Now that I had some time to look, I can't find anything indicating there is any form of drm. They had me a bit worried there for a second.
