If I want a game I will buy it wherever I can get it, so in this games probably Uplay. That said, Epic's store UI is currently horrible. No wishlist that I can find, and having huge boxes in the store section instead of a list.

like I couldn't care less. Didnt buy any Ubercrap games for years now xD

I didn't even buy the first one.

Won't somebody please think of the children?

LOOOOOOOOL!

They have their own store and launcher for fuck's sake. Literally one of the only companies (plus CD Projekt, Blizzard and EA) who'd be sensible with having exclusives. But still, they're moving to a third party. This is a weird one. Just like with Black Ops 4.

I mean, whatever, I'm guessing Epic sucked their dick for long enough to make their skin wrinkle, so it's a good idea for them overall. But in all honesty, this is just the weirdest thing I could've imagined with Epic's exclusivity deals.

i'll stay with a "no steam no buy" mentality.

i love the activity feed with screenshots sharing, steam group chats with my friends, and steamworks to invite people joining me online...
Also bonuses like refunds, reviews, steam badges, custom profiles, community hubs... are really something.

I don't see myself going on the epic store playing alone without that environment i'm used to have on steam.

time to suppor the devs!

The sign is clear. On Steam people could refund if the game would not work, on Epic i heard some horror stories of people trying to refund and on Ubi the same.
So after the fiasco launch of Division1 i guess i know now what to expect at launch.

No buy for me, it's sad because i have all the Ubi games (on Steam!).

steam, uplay, epic , ... still we need to pay $60 for it :) and ofc it still needs to run uplay for playing :)

Meh. If publishers/developers are going to pull this bullshit exclusivity crap then I won't buy their games. Simple.
I get that they're trying to break this so-called 'Valve Monopoly', but as consumers, weren't not going to see fuck all benefits from this.

Also, I see that they're price-gouging us Australians. Why am I not surprised.

Price when logged out of my Epic Games account & connected to my VPN: $59.99 USD ($83.52 AUD)
Price will signed in: $69.95 USD ($97.39 AUD)

No thanks.

People are missing the point a lot with these things. This is not free market. You can have 999 stores if you want. But if each product is available exclusively at its respective store, you literally have no competition. Literally. This is, believe it or not, called monopoly. - when only one place has/controls one particular product. Steam is not a monopoly (perhaps only with their games). Devs can release their games on every place they want at the same time as the have it on Steam. This is not the case with the epic store. Now, even if Steam was a monopoly, you can't expect to combat a monopoly by creating another monopoly. It doesn't make any sense, and people who are supporting this need to rethink a little bit more. But, I bet 99% of people who are coming out with this crap about "hur dur competition" won't buy a single thing from the epic store anyways, so who cares.

Actually Epic is paying devs to put their games there so basically everybody knows epic store is very bad and has no userbase but they are getting a sum that can make forget about sales so Ubisoft must have got a large sum of money from this to make them look the other way on a large sum of sales (Steam)

Does it matter anyways, where it's sold? It'll still require to be ran through Uplay anyways... having it on a different client than Uplay just adds another step before you can play the game (run Steam/Epic, start the game, it starts Uplay client and then finally you can play)

I don't see how Epic is going to be better than Steam for the customers. They're not going to allow forums or game reviews. So no place to seek help and no criticisms of the games. How is that consumer friendly? There won't be any sense of community. Their policies and features are worse than Steam's. Are games on Epic going to be cheaper since developers are getting a bigger cut? Lower prices is one of the best ways to lure new customers but I heard no mention of this which is not a good sign. They seem to be more focused on impressing developers instead of consumers.

It could be a good thing, theres enough crap on steam already, might as well be crap on another launcher too

top kek

Do they not make enough from all the different editions (deluxe, gold, ultimate) and ingame dlc? Regardless screw fortn...i mean epic.

Each game with own launcher please, we need it

give free division 2 to everyone at launch If you want to make a big move Epic :D

More platforms means more potential profits so exclusive deals are moronic.

They probably don't want steam reviews to hurt the sales.

Why the hell would I buy it on Epic when I can just buy it on Uplay and skip the middleman?
Where the hell do these companies hire their marketing/sales department? From behind the counter at Taco Bell?

/facepalm

Like someone really cares about this game. The first one was awful. I see more logic in Valve telling Ubisoft to fuck off with TD2 and keep their crap off their platform.

This is not competition.
If it's not going to be on Steam, then I'm just going to buy it directly through U-Play, which is going to be required to launch pretty much any Ubisoft title anyway.
