Is the Epic Store Epically Wrong

The Epic Games Store is hoarding away all the major upcoming games. Is The Division 2 and Metro Exodus exclusivity wrong? Or is it just business?

Division isn't a Uplay exclusive? Lol okay... I will not buy a single game on the epic store no matter what. They've been too scummy in the past like not putting Fortnite on the Play store but you want to put it on the platform to increase revenue. That's beyond greedy and I can't support them like that. even if I'd never play this on mobile or even play fornite anymore. It's just they showed the true colours. This adds too it. It's one thing to fun a exclusive and it's stated as one from the get go. But doing it like Rise of the Tomb raider is disgusting and anti consumer like Fortnite on Android

No cloud saves, no achievements, no user reviews. Not interested!

Are console exclusive games wrong?

Blu3_Berry2652d ago

Difference is, those are first-party games. You don't see games like Red Dead Redemption 2 exclusive to PS4, or Anthem exclusive to Xbox do you?I bet you there would be just as much uproar if both Sony and Microsoft started buying these third-party exclusives last minute when it was not exclusive to begin with.

If Epic were funding these games from the very start to remain exclusive on the Epic Game Store, then I would be fine with that. But that isn't the case with Division and Metro which both games appear on Steam before Epic decided to give them a boatload of cash to secure exclusive rights. Plus, previous entries were also on Steam so that is a big F U to fans of the series. They don't give a sh*t about the customers and fans, they only care about censorship and money.

Good points, but i still don't get it why this is so big deal for some? It's not that you have to buy a new hardware for this..

Well, i agree that the last minute exclusive announcement to Epic Game Store was not handled well. Too late.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing9d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster929d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
