Was looking forward to this.
Well, they lost a sale. I refuse to use the epic games launcher and I also refuse to support these crappy business practices.

Based on the backlash it seems I am not the only one who feels this way.

Another game in the bin.
 
Can you please explain your reasoning to me? Genuinely curious as I don’t get the hate for the Epic Launcher, not sure why it’s so despised.

But you need better board games than monopoly. :)

You still need to have the epic launcher and download the game from the epic launcher.

So.... this helps how exactly?
 
To be honest I'll happily use the Epic Store once it has all the basic features laid out on their road map and offers ZAR prices adjusted for purchasing power parity.

Valve have become a bunch of useless s**theads. Steam's store looks like crap, has crap customer service, no longer has big sales and I feel for publishers being charged huge commission.

Why would I care if Gabe Newell or China gets my money.

I also like the store. I never buy crap, so never get shown crap on my store page.
You can also change your preferences and decide what is shown on your store page.
I also have to issue with their customer service.
If I request a refund within the 2 hour period, I always get that refund.

You do know that it are the publishers participating in those sales, it aren't selective, and neither is it Steam telling them to do so. To let you know, it is the Ubi Spring Sale,

https://store.ubi.com/de/spring-sale

and MANY other publishers are also participating in similar sales. Not to mention, that in Steam's current setup they have more exclusives than any other digital store.

Epic is only starting out. Yes, they need to be polished, but they did set their milestones they want to achieve in public.

Those punting in every nook and cranny that 30% revenue share is the industry standard are dumb AF. Mainly due to their inability to understand a monopoly and market disruption. By that same sentiment everyone must then be happy with DSTV’s pricing, this is nothing more than selective activism, activism to protect a monopoly…

I’m against the exclusive scheme Epic is running, but they are giving publishers better deals at the moment and unless Valve don’t review their current B2B plan and market strategies more publishers will leave Gabe behind.

Good Guy Valve -> https://www.polygon.com/2017/5/16/15622366/valve-gabe-newell-sales-origin-destructive

It is time that Valve shares their sandpit with the other children.
 
Might have to get this at some point. Once I'm done with RDR2
 
I see it's part of the Xbox Game Pass, so will try it out on the Xbox first. If I like it, then I'll get it on PC

I just can't wrap my head around it R900 for like 20 hours of gameplay.

Modern gaming baffles me, maybe when the game is under R400 I will consider it.
