![]() And they made a ton of money by doing so. Steam did help bring a lot of games to market. I have nothing against Epic and my stance is that I don't want exclusives between the platforms, I want to see all the games on both digital platforms. It's like a fight between, what are some US gaming stores.? Bestbuy and Walmart? Epic and Steam are not the one's creating the games we like to play or funding/sponsering development studios. Separating the PC community the way that consoles are separated isn't a positive thing imo, even if it's to try encourage innovation due to the competition. If that's the case, and I'm not entirely convinced it is but that's beside the point, I'm not really sure boycotting them completely from now on is the best solution. Not only does the Epic store offer a better take, but it does so while subsidizing this engine, which many such devs may already be using.Īlso, Steam has become far less viable for these indie developers because their lack of quality control and oversight has caused a deluge of thousands of shitty asset flips and non-games which make it increasingly difficult for independent developers to gain attention. The Unreal Engine is one of the best, most affordable, and most popular engines on the market. It's not like Epic hasn't also been monumentally helpful to many of these same devs. Oh, Epic and Steam are monopolizing the industry, GameFace is where it's at now. Yeh, everyone is just looking at the money instead of everything else Steam has done for them.Įpic will just be seen in the same way when another comes along offering a sweeter deal. It's showing the indie side of the industries true colors and how quickly they'll turn on their players or partners for greener pastures. Valve and Steam are probably the single biggest reason the indie game movement got traction. You all jumping on this anti steam is kinda getting old. It makes me wonder if the long-term goal is for Epic to host games for all platforms? If so, then it would be a terrific thing for games that enable crossplay, something Dauntless has had as an embedded feature from day 1.Ĭome on now, if the game was developed by epic there wouldn't be as much complaining. And yet if Dauntless announced it would be PC exclusive on Steam, no one would bat an eye. ![]()
