That fucken sucks, I have the entire collection on epic already. Don't really feel like buying it again

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 26 points 6 months ago

And that’s exactly why Epic paid for the exclusive.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Yeah, its cool its on Steam. But it sucks for the people who didn't wait like 4 years. It is what it is but fuck exclusives.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 6 months ago

Patient Gamers rise.

Remember: There will always be a better deal later.

Also: If you already have played it, you got the early possibility to do so.

I just pre-ordered your next comment I enjoyed this one so much.

Patient gamer reporting here.

As long as you wait, you are showing your support to it being epic exclusive with your wallet.

It's a sad reality that I also participated in the past, but after the deck never again

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 18 points 6 months ago

What?

You've got it already, hell, you bought it on the platform that keeps the smallest share of profit, why do you care that it's getting released on another launcher?

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Cause I would have preferred to buy it on Steam so all my things are in one place. But as I said to another reply; it is what it is. I'm not buying it a 3rd time.

Maybe shouldn't have bothered with epic in the first place?

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

How could I have known it would not remain exclusive...?

[-] rdri@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

That's not the point. If you ask me I'd rather pirate a game like this vs paying for it on a crappy platform. And in case it can't be pirated I'd play something else. Though it's also possible to emulate these games I guess.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

That's not the point? Four years ago I wanted to play KH on my computer and the only place that had it was Epic.

[-] rdri@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

And that's the main point of their business model - imposing artificial limits instead of caring about your experience. Don't fall for it, don't give them your money. The faster epic dies as a platform, the faster gaming industry will see improvements.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

This was the only thing I've ever paid for on Epic. Only reason I had it to begin with is UE4 was required for my classes.

[-] rdri@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Good for you I guess. Though it doesn't invalidate what I've said, and I'd have repeated it all again even if I knew you've paid for just one product.

What's with the down vote? This seems kind of cool.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 months ago

Why does it matter?

The platform isn’t changing, still Windows only

[-] Sprawlie@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

If we're lucky, Steamdeck verified will also mean it'll run fine on linux.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago

Still Windows only

It’s not like you can’t use proton/wine with Epic

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago

With a quick Google search it already does with the Epic version, though it's maybe a little janky (which I expect to remain). Valve created Proton, but you can use it outside of Steam.

[-] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 5 months ago

Why were you dumb enough to buy it on epic? Should've just pirated it

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

That insult is unnecessary. And look at the date of this release: fitgirl repack
