Maneater 1 year Epic Exclusivity

[CruiseCTRL]

I was wondering if any Steam devs could comment on Steam exclusivity via the ToS. They are planning to release 1 year out from Steam...

See Tweet: https://twitter.com/maneatergame/status/1256420669975408641

Thought this broke Steamworks ToS as written below?

“Company shall submit the Applications to Steam for release no later than the first commercial release of each Application or Localized Version, or, if already commercially released as of the Effective Date, within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date.

“Thereafter, Company shall submit to Steam any Localized Versions and Application Updates (in beta and final form) when available, but in no event later than they are provided to any other third party for commercial release. Company shall provide these copies in object code form, in whatever format Valve reasonably requests.”

maybe they wont be on steam? ubisoft is done with steam they partnered with epic games for example.

Ubisoft rode on the hate Epic bandwagon and sold more copies of The Division 2 on the uplay platform before the game came to Steam. A winning situation for them as they get 100% of the money. They put the game on sale a few times on uplay during exclusivity.

Sometimes exclusivity does not work. Metro Exodus (standard) retailed for £49.99 (uk) on Epic yet when it released on Steam it was on sale for £34.99 which was also the sale price on Epic.

Ubisoft will not write off Steam as those that will not buy on Epic or uplay will pay for it on Steam and Ubisoft gets revenue.

As literally ANY Epic Exclusivity was

Keep holding onto that hate...

Borderlands 3,Control, Red Dead Redemption 2, Division 2, Old World, Metro Exodus, Hades, need i go on?

Add in any of the Ubisoft titles as well for £10 off each at the moment.

Far Cry 4 GOTY for for £4.99? Go on, argue against that.

This will be interesting as they will.

It is all a matter of opinion, regardless. People can't argue opinion.

As above.

Personally, I stopped Far Cry after FC3. FC4 is the same thing as 3 and got boring rather quickly for me.

Ubisoft's games have become more of rinse and repeat, not to mention all the microtransaction, so I stopped buying their stuff too.

I'm sure.

You can get a AAA game - that you rightly say is similar to 3 but still more than playable - for less than £5.

Yet that isn't good enough.

Nor I am sure clicking get game to get GTA V for free, as it is so much effort.

Did you do the spring clean event? You got a badge for installing and instauninstalling 5(?) games some of which were X gig.

It was so onerous I did it over three days and got something you can't even do anything with.

Just 4 fun, I do like my profile, but it really doesn't mean anything.

We PC gamers should see ourselves as PC gamers first and foremost over being a steam, epic, origin user etc. Being a PC gamer means we have access to every single game on the PC as opposed to being a steam user that limits us to what games we can play.

[Halo]

Or just consumers in a free market that The Masters Of The Universe say is the best economic philosophy.

The only thing that binds me to Steam are a) 1000 games, b) achievements.

Give me FC4 for £4.99 and I will buy it from you. Or I could exercise my loyalty and buy it for £49.99.

If your ideology makes you pay 10 x something then more fool you. It Is the same product.

Although that doesn't apply to places like Amazon, Sports Direct, etc. who simply don't pay their staff so you pocket the discount and where you should have some ethics and pony up a bit more from a decent retailer.

Game devs/pubs set the prices for their title on Steam, not Valve.

Playable doesn't mean it is worth it. AAA doesn't mean good value or qality, only published by a major developer.

I've never like the GTA games, so of course I am not interested in getting it.

If your standard is simply cheap and "AAA", then you are free too it. I buy games I will play and enjoy as I see no point in buying for any other reason.

I hardly do any event as I don't care about them, but many others seem to.

So again, you can' really argue opinion.

Good Lord, they will defend anything.

It was based on a random algorithm that chose from your game library, friends recommend chose 2 gig, 6 gig and 22 gig.

Go on, make something up to make it out that it was me and not Steam.

Go on, make something up that I could have chosen a 30kb game and chose to download gigs.

These forums are like a Trump rally.

[Halo]

Here - have one of the highest selling games in gaming history for free, you don't even have to play it, just press get game and you'll have it to try if you ever want to.

No strings, nothing dodgy, just free to keep forever for one click.

Nah, too much work. Could you press get game for me?

If I am not interested in it or don't feel I will play it, why would I? I don't get games just to have games. I get games that I want and feel I will enjoy, in order to play them. They are not a "badge of honor" for me.

You experience may differ from another's, just as your opinion does.

[Halo]

And yet your profile comments relate to free titles ON STEAM that no one has ever heard of and likely wouldn't want polluting their library.

Going to leave you to it as I can only surmise you live under a bridge, have warty green skin and carry a club.

And, funnily enough, seems you're a Steam moderator. Not that there would likely be a bias at all.

Like I said, these forums are like a Trump rally.

I also maintain a free games thread, where I post Epic games and other 3rd party titles. Doesn't mean I get them myself.

Free games on Steam I allow on my profile as the thread I maintain does not allow for free games directly from Steam, since those are often announced in the News section on Steam.

But insults do take from your own credibility, so I suggest finding a better way to argue your point, instead of making personal attacks.

I'm a volunteer moderator, yes. I am simply voicing my own opinion though, but you are allowed your own opinion the matter.

If you review my post, you can see that I have not made any post for or against Epic, but have simply stressed that that people will simply have different opinions on the matter and those may be based on one's own experiences.
