    Not an Epic exclusive on PC, yay! I’m sad that the masterpiece Alan Wake 2 was fucked over so much by not releasing on Steam, glad they aren’t repeating that

        I’ll gladly pay more to not have to deal with Epic’s endless fucking captchas.

      Epic was actually the publisher (So no Steam) and gave Remedy free hands in development and funding. It took some time but the game is now making profit. Epic takes 50%.

        Yeah, which means it will probably never be released on Steam, which is even worse than the timed Epic exclusives where they pay to keep games out of other store fronts for a year or whatever. Even Microsoft and Sony are rarely doing full exclusive releases like this anymore.

        You’d think a developer as well known as Remedy would be able to find funding from a less restrictive publisher. Fucking Epic
