I agree, no need to shite on the the games out there, but two weeks from release to pull this shite, Div 2 is going the same route. A platform that has no features and hit it bit with Fortnite, and still sucks as a platform. Yeah the can suck a penis!

Both games will be mass pirated.


People hate epics dealio, and want nothing to do with it. Also, last i heard, Epic does not allow negative reviews, and they have a shite return policy(2 hours played).

Also, the shitty way Epic pulled the stunt with metro. 2 weeks before launch.


Games on Epic launcher will be the most pirated games on pc. NO one wants their shitty launcher.

Division 2 has gone with Epic also from what I hear, at least I can get a GMG key for it and use Uplay.

The parent company of the Metro publisher, THQ Nordic claims they had nothing to do with it. Seems they’re also mad it was pulled from Steam

I’m sure Exodus will sell well on Steam, but it obviously won’t perform as well as it would on Steam.

I’m all for competition but Epic launcher isn’t a good competitor. The only one who benefits from putting on the Epic store is the dev. Everything beneficial to customers isn’t there.

It has to be really bad for DoUrden and I to be in agreement on an issue.

Steam pre orders stand, and I don't think sales will be what they thought from here on out, I have read nothing but backlash from the move.

I agree 100%. It was a dick move, especially last minute. Epic store apparently doesn’t have reviews, I doubt their have community hub like Steam does, and no sharing of screenshots and such. Just Fortnite, which people like me don’t play and have no draw too. gg deep silver

It's on the first page. There's no reason to go to bat for one of the largest corporations on the planet. If you want to defend a company, pick one that isn't drowning in money.

LOL they can't get out of their own way.

However, the developer went one step further and stated that if all PC gamers boycott Metro Exodus then the next Metro game (if there is one mind you) will not come out on the PC. Now I’m pretty sure that the developer was exaggerating here but it begs the question; how many PC sales can guarantee the continuation of the Metro franchise on the PC?

What a bunch of fricking morons. This was my most hyped game until they decided to pull all of this shite RIGHT before launch. And PC gamers made up the vast majority of the fanbase for the first two games, which is the only reason they even got to make Exodus, so go ahead and piss off your main demographic. Idiots.

Maybe they are just catering to the smarter and more adaptive audience.
