nah, he means a guarantee the game will released on the platform once there's an agreement and arrangements have been made, with no delay, to save from the situation going on now where games are being poached for exclusivity dealsLike exclusivity deals?
Removing forums for epic exclusives could be good start.
Exactly, Steam is pretty much providing advertising and a community hub for free, people who see the game on the store may add it to their wishlist and when it disappears they'll blame Valve.
I kinda agree with this though it's not like they've done nothing, they just didn't focus their effort on things that actually mattered, not even once. For example, a proprietary engine, look where Epic is with Unreal and then compare it to Valve and Source 2, no wonder they're looking to rely on Unity for future projects.
Or they could actually fix steam releases (people who bought JA2 on Steam still can't review it) and stick to their policies instead of flip-flopping like Ian.
effective in a sane world, but in the current climate rife with opportunism, any strong arming on Steam's part could serve as an argument for the necessity to eventually move towards an independent platform or an alternative that can be shown on paper to serve the bottom line better
It has been available as an upcoming title on Steam since it was announced, it's the third most wishlisted game on Steam right now.
Come to think of it, wasn't outer worlds #1 a few weeks ago? Did that many people remove it already?
Serves them right for pre-ordering.
Wishlisting is not the same as preordering.
Can't help but feel the hypocrisy of people who hate epic store but are OK with steam games loaded up with Denuvo
