Current Events > PC Gamers, how do you feel about Epic Game Store getting exclusives?

(+) Yeah! (+)

PC versions of games like Ashen and Super Meat Boy Forever are Epic Game Store exclusive. How does this make you feel?

They can fuck off.

I expect the prices to be adjusted 18% lower to pass the savings onto the consumer.

LOL as if that'll ever happen. Any company that puts their stuff on epic exclusively are doing so out of sheer greed by giving the consumer an extra hassle.
---

an annoyance but nothing more than a short client download and new account creation away.
---

No big deal, just another game launcher to download
---

Just like Origin, people are just gonna stick with Steam and use the other clients for the exclusives.

Unless Epic can make better sales than Steam.

I don't really care. If there isn't anything I'm desperate for, I'll probably just ignore it. Although I may create an account if any of the free games catch my eye (and then not play any of them as per usual).

I don't see how it's any different to consoles having exclusives. Perhaps even less of a big deal, seeing as you can sign up to another store for free; you have to actually pay to buy another console. (And then there's the fact I'm probably only going to buy a game on PC in the first place if it's not available on PS4.)

eh i think its kinda cool that theyre giving game companies a better cut
---

I mean, I already had the Epic launcher installed from when they gave Shadow Complex away for free, also a PC exclusive, so...nothing really changes. Except now I get SMB free on PC.
---

You realize we don't have to buy a separate PC for every launcher like on consoles yes?

Exclusivity doesn't matter if you want the game free.

SSDs are way bigger now. Can easily use them as OS and game launch performance drive.

Still a bit pricey if you want a decent size. No longer "unrealistic", but I could see it being more than some people could justify. (Not me personally - my laptop came with 128GB SSD / 1TB HDD, I upgraded the SSD to a 1TB a few weeks back. The HDD is still in there, but it's literally empty now, it's mostly just there because I don't have anywhere else worth putting it. I guess I could maybe upgrade my PS3 from 750GB to 1TB, but I don't use it often enough to really bother.)

Good place to put all the trash

Those games suck but obviously theyll get more.
