Rebel Galaxy Outlaw - hard rock spacing sequel

[Volrath]

Fuck them. Day 1 purchase at 85% off on Steam when they come crawling back with their tails between their legs.

 

[Metro]

And just to be clear it's not a Steam-or-bust thing. They also won't be releasing on GOG, either, until a year has gone by.

 

[Makabb]

this sucks

 

[Dedicated_Dark]

Should've atleast put it on GOG.

 

[Elim]

Well, haven't pirated since a couple of years, this would have been an instant purchase for me. Not anymore.
The Epic platform is garbage, no good refund policy = no purchase. Simple as that.

 

[theSavant]

Wow... what a retarded move. I was just getting interested in this again (after realizing X4 is too much for my taste).

But exclusive to Epic Games Store??? Fuck it! The time I will buy anything on this shitstore is when they have at least re-created Unreal in Unreal Engine 4.

 

[Morkar Left]

Nothing wrong with extended beta testing.

 

[Galdred]

Idiotic move. Why'd you want to do that as an indie? People will rather pirate their game than install yet another crapware on their computers.

As a developer, I can understand being fed up with Steam taking a larger cut than Uber does from its drivers...
But by doing so, they alienate a lot of their player base indeed as epic store offers none of the functionalities of Steam (and the libraries won't transfer there easily...).
I think the best, from a player point of view, is to buy the game through the developer web site when possible, but the 30% cut is very significant indeed, given that you now have to compete with 70+ [game/RPG]maker games for visibility every day.
It is a pity gog went with the same price cut than Steam, as a lot of people already have it already installed.

 

[Haba]

So if Steam takes a bigger cut, price your Steam release differently. Doing platform exclusives only promotes piracy.

 

[Big Wrangle]

What could possibly go wrong?

I always thought that the Steam cut offsets the losses from the companies being able to sell their games elsewhere while still using Steam for the download, workshop, etc. services, which doesn't cost them anything.

As a developer, your job is to live in squalor and provide me with games at 75% off discounts.

Nothing except that the distributor makes less money and the consumer wins because they can shop around.
Developers need to start giving distributors reasons to reduce the royalty impact. Getting your product on as many systems as possible is not a bad thing.
This exclusivity shit is which is as good as Rebel Galaxy looks, I won't be buying it until they come to their fucking senses because I refuse to give Tencent one of the largest corporations in the world my shekels.

And that sucks too because I do like these devs and I think they should be a success but because they made an absolutely stupid move here I refuse to support them now.

 

[Dedicated_Dark]

Was going to get this game cause the only reason the last game was unplayable for me was the 2d plane bullshit. This one looked so much on the incline.

Now I am going to have to pirate this. Atleast put it on GOG, charge more if you want/need to. Increase the price by 30% or whatever. GOG. -_-

 

[Makabb]

, but the 30% cut is very significant indeed,.

It's called greed.

70% of something is better than 100% of nothing, now they will get nothing.

 

[ArchAngel]

I am a poorfag and I was planning to pirate it either way so this changes nothing for me (unless Epic Store will have some powerful DRM in place).

 

[Dedicated_Dark]

unless Epic Store will have some powerful DRM in place

Hypothetically. If this is the case, what would you do?

 

[Galdred]

Impersonate a streamer to get a review copy?

 

[ArchAngel]

unless Epic Store will have some powerful DRM in place

Play some other game?

 

[Metro]

Which, coincidentally, is why I give streamers and 'reviewers' zero credibility. They're paid off shills.

 

[J1M]

Don't be daft, men. Epic obviously gave them a very large cheque to do this. As in a number with 5 zeroes after it.

 

[Metro]

Hope it makes up for the loss of sales they'd have gotten from Steam and GOG.

 

[Turjan]

I hope it doesn't.

 

[DDZ]

If it's a good game I will play it on Epic's platform, who the fuck cares, it's not like you pay a subscription.

I don't need all my games in one place because I DONT FUCKING CARE.

You cunts.

 

[Morgoth]

I'm glad somebody is finally picking up the torch of Freelancer. Might be my first game I'm buying on the Epic Store.
