Where will you be purchasing The Outer Worlds?

[Russia is over. The end.]

Ok, I changed the wording to look less retarded.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Just delete your account Bester because this is never going away. :D

 

[Duraframe300]

Look at the trailer. It's got jumpy fun zoomer music,

Are you talking about the launch trailer? That song is from the 70s, dude.

Not knowing 20th century boy is a crime in some places.

 

[Ismaul]

I won't buy it until it's on GOG, and I might wait for a good discount. Prior to that, only God knows.

 

[Chaotic Lulz3r]

It's not like I wouldn't wait a year to buy a complete, worst-bugs-ironed-out version on discount even if it were available on Steam/GoG from day one.

That being said, I got a 3-month Xbox Game Pass voucher with my new Radeon 5700, so having a look at it on release doesn't cost me anything but a potential sanity drain. I'll even pre-load, but actual release hour for my region is 02:00, so I doubt I'll play exactly on release.

Is there a way to buy Outer Worlds and Red Dead Redemption 2 in the same place? Neither will be on Steam.

Why won't RDR2 be on Steam?

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

Why won't RDR2 be on Steam?

 

[Volrath]

I honestly don't think I'll even end up pirating it.

Why won't RDR2 be on Steam?

Same reason as Outer Worlds, Ancestors and Borderlands 3. Take 2 sold out. Hard.

 

[Chaotic Lulz3r]

Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released on Steam "sometime in December", unless something changed since the initial PC release announcement and I missed it. So the delay will be 30-45 days.

Epic DID NOT pay for RDR2 exclusivity. Rockstar are giving the spotlight to their own launcher for a month or so, and they know Steam is the only competitor that counts. But Rockstar/Take 2 would have to be insane to give up the Christmas sales they'll get on Steam, without money from Epic to balance out the losses.

They lowered the cut down to around 20% ever since Epic announced their cut. Valve might lower it even more depending on how it goes.

Are you sure they did that for all games? Because they lowered their cut pretty early on the war with Epic (and since have acted like Epic doesn't exist), but only for games that hit some pretty huge sales milestones.

 

[Elex]

I doubt 98% of potential sales are impacted by people who protest the decision to Epic exclusivity.

It might lose sales of all the casuals who vaguely heard about the game but they don't see it on Steam and then forget about it, maybe.

people who protest epic simply get the cheap gamepass and complete edition with all the dlc on steam later.

 

[DalekFlay]

You'll still have to use the Rockstar Launcher to play RDR2, even if you buy it on Steam. Waiting for a Steam version to add DRM on top of DRM is pretty retarded.

 

[Abu Antar]

I'm undecided. There are 3 possible scenarios:
1: The games turns out to be bad, and impressions will dissuade me from buying the game.
2: When it goes on sale on Steam/GOG.
3: When it goes on sale on PS4.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

I pre-ordered via Epic Games. It was half the price, couldn't miss that deal.

Buy and own the game for half the price vs pay 1$/5$ monthly a sub. If wasn't for the half price , i would've just wait to play via gamepass tbh.

 

[toro]

It doesn't matter if we buy it, pirate it or ignore it.

Obsidian doesn't get shit. They are Microsoft's bitches now.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

PS4. Not going to support Epic for as long as I can choose not to.

 

[Arulan]

I'll wait for the Steam or GOG release, platforms I want to use. Fuck the Epic Games Store and their bullshit.

 

[Richard Leaks]

Not even gonna pirate it.

 

[Serious_Business]

I WILL absolutely TEAR and SHRED my way TRIUMPHANTLY through this a series of VISCOUS ORIFICES that are not especially intended for EROTIC PURPOSES

Fuck off, this game is about brain damage ain't it? You got something about brain damage kid? You're living it right now. Your brain is decomposing. You're dying. How does that make you feel

It makes me feel great

Yeah but surely how well this game does will effect their place in MS resource chain Not that different from if they were independent; tho now there is the danger of getting too low resources if their games are flops or too high influence from above if too successful

How is Obsidian's relationship with papa M$ any of our problem?

We don't even know if more or less MS control will influence quality positively or negatively.

Also, M$ wants Obsidian to succeed now that they're owned by them, now that they're a feature of their Game Pass. Past projects are just why they were bought.

 

[Quillon]

I wouldn't call it anyone's other than Obs' and MS' problem but if you want more/better prod. quality games from Obs, then its probably better to support them, if you don't like Obs' direction, this is a pointless discussion

 

[Nano]

Microsoft is a megacorporation beholden to shareholders, of-fucking-course the only influence it could have is negative, no matter how bad Feargus and Co. are.
