The problem comes from the exclusivity deals Epic has been making since its store launch. The Epic Games Store is bare bones compared to Steam, and people usually like to keep their things in one place.
There was actually a Metro movie in the making (announced in 2016), but the author didn't cave in to Hollywood. They changed the story completely and 'Americanised' it to the point it wasn't Metro anymore. Dmitry refused to continue with the thing, so they reverted the rights back to him and it was cancelled.
First, Final Fantasy XV benchmarks like these are pointless. They never reflect real-world performance.
Second, FFXV is an NVIDIA-title, so it's optimised to favour the green team.
Third, VII doesn't have proper drivers, yet.
Finally, recent AMD cards are usually disappointing at launch due to lack of drivers optimisation. RX 580/Vega 56/64 all underperformed at launch, however, with furthur drivers optimisations, the cards sta...
Some exaggerate downloading and using another launcher/client, some follow Steam blindly, some don't like Chinese companies, some jump on any bandwagon, but the majority hate exclusivity on PC (a free platform, so they would like to have the option of where to play rather than getting forced), that's why they cry foul at Epic and Microsoft Store.
I don't think that kind of games would click with Xbox players; they are more focused on gameplay rather than story/cinematics. Quantum Break is a recent example.
Indeed. The only game that pushed PC hardware was Crysis. Since then, no other game tried to because they want to sell, and the majority of PC gamers (89% according to Steam Survey) have a GTX 1060 or lower.
Activision pulled out of Steam in 2017 with Destiny 2 and in 2018 with Call of Duty Black Ops 4. They will keep their games exclusive to Battle.net going forward.
People here are decent if they are going to boycott. Other PC-focused communities are gonna "torrent the shit out of this because devs like these don't deserve money."
Epic is doing timed-exclusives like this to draw playerbase in, which is understandable. Steam has the benefit of age, so Epic can't compete with Steam in features or revenue cut only.
