Actually a compelling deal for developers, wonder how many indie / AA developers will go for that instead of steam
I've heard that a lot of games have been a loss due to releasing on Epic as an early exclusive, as the first few months are critical.
I'd rather pay on Steam than get it for free on Epic tbh
Naw bro free is always better. Besides devs got paid anyways. This is a stupid take when cost of living is exponentially increasing.
I said I'd rather pay on Steam than to play it for free on Epic. I never said not buying it is not a possibility.
I also have a little thing called "disposable income", so I can afford games if I really want to.
This seems like a worse deal than what Epic's been offering though. Haven't they been giving lump sum payments to developers to go exclusive with their store for a set time?
That was my understanding. I don't know how Fortnite is doing, but I thought perhaps they are running out of money when they announced this new "thing".
