Really shows how last minute this decision was and how scummy it is.

What a shite show.

If you want an exclusivity deal like this fine, it's a free marketplace, but doing it at that last minute like that is a classic bait and switch.

Seems like there are a lot of release bugs. The steam version released without the exe file.

I honestly didn't know that PC games still came out on physical disks.

A lot of places have shite internet and while you'll still have tens of gigs of patches to download, the discs can help those people install much of the base game.

The reviews on Steam are 77% positive, but even many of the top rated reviews still bring up how shitty it was to pull the game from the Steam store last minute.

Anxious to see the Epic Store sales numbers (assuming they'll publish them).

From what I understand, the Metro series doesn't sell well on consoles, PC sales were their bread and butter. We will see if there are layoffs in the coming year because of stupid executive decisions.

Well, the one thing they got right was they actually sent canvas bags out.

No shame in admitting that, closet open for you.

I haven't been in the video game section recently. I always get physical copies of PS4 games, but the little I play on PC has been digital ever since the Half Life 2 era.

Parmen's comments about slow internet makes sense. And I see from this thread that they've gotten away from the obnoxiously oversized boxes with a CD in them. That was part of the fun of buying PC games in lieu of the N64/PS1 games, but time marches on.

The late switch and the release of APEX is crushing fortnite on Twitch. I will admit I have personal reasons to see epic fall, but the numbers don't lie,
