This is not about Obsidian's The Outer Worlds, Outer Wilds a space-theme exploration game that has been in development since 2012

>Outer Wilds becomes another Epic Games Store PC exclusive and some backers are not happy
>Mobius' crowdfunded space exploration game Outer Wilds is the latest title to have been snapped up by Epic for an exclusivity period with the Epic Games Store.
>In an update to backers and investors who supported the game via Fig, the statement said that the team "welcomed helpful partnerships with Annapurna Interactive, XBox, and Epic" in order to "keep our small studio running long enough to ship the game at the level of quality that it is today".
>Initially, the developer expected the game to be ready for Q2 2016 and had been "planning" to release the game on Mac, Linux and PC via Steam. While it says its goal remains to "bring the game to your preferred platform as quickly as possible", some supporters are disappointed that it will first be released only on Xbox One and the Epic Games Store.
>"Outer Wilds will first be released on XBox One and on PC via the Epic Games Store, with additional platforms coming later," the statement from Mobius said. "Rest assured that we read all of your comments and our goal is to bring the game to your preferred platform as quickly as possible.
>"Throughout the development of the game, we've welcomed helpful partnerships with Annapurna Interactive, XBox, and Epic to support us and keep our small studio running long enough to ship the game at the level of quality that it is today. Each of these partnerships has enabled us to make the game better and more accessible for everyone who will play it."
>"I understand the publisher made this deal and not the dev team, and I understand money is a driving force behind the decision," said one unhappy backer on reddit. "However, I feel this is unethical for crowdfunding campaigns. I didn't want to support the game so I could play it months after release on the platform the campaign originally promoted. If I was told my contribution meant I could play the game "eventually", I would not have pledged."
>"I really do not want to refund. Honestly, I would of (sic) preferred them asking for more money, rather then (sic) timed exclusivity," added another. "Which, by the way, they didn't even specify how long it would be either. I can't believe I have to wait another six months or year. To me, this feels like a real kick in the teeth to backers. I was promised a steam key when I backed the game and will have to wait even longer to get what I was promised during the campaign."
>As others have said, however, "we're planning to" doesn't automatically translate to "we are going to", and "EGS barely existed if not was inexistant (sic) at the time, no wonder plans can change. Game dev is expensive, is (sic) that is what they needed to get enough money to pay their devs and release the game, no problem here."
>We've reached out to both Epic and Mobius for comment and will update as and when we hear back.

exclusivity, especially on pc is retarded. Its not like console where different platform architecture and hardware limitations make it make some sense, the pc version will be the same for all launchers its just greed that never benefits the customer. nobody wants to install 15 launchers to play their games, nobody wants to support telemetry shit in launchers like Uplay, Origin and the Epic store, exclusivity on PC games is solely for companies to try to create monopolies and never benefits the user

Exlusivity is an awful concept anyways. It does make sense for consoles however, from a purely business standpoint. It's a marketing tactic to improve adoption of said console, which is why it makes absolutely no sense on PC. Instead of getting hardware, you get spied on and your data sold just for the privilege of using a "free" service.
99ab0c No.16470853
>>16470847
The difference is that this is store exclusivity and not hardware exclusivity. Locking a game behind one paywall only is retarded enough, but making it exclusive to a paywall that didn't even fucking exist until well after people already paid you for the promise of being able to play it elsewhere is just scummy.

Similarly, no one really likes exclusivity in the first place, but in some cases, it makes sense. God of War, Spiderman, Last of Us - they're all bankrolled mostly or entirely by Sony, so it makes a lot of sense for them to be exclusives. Similarly, everything Nintendo makes in house, or a very logical comparison - Bayonetta 2, 3, Wonderful 101 and Astral Chain - all from Platinum, a third party dev, but all exclusives. I believe Monolithsoft is also technically third party, or used to be at one point. But paid, timed exclusivity? No one fucking likes it. And that's exactly what this is, just to a bigger extent, since the Call of Duty timed exclusivity is usually a month or so.
No one's complaining that Epic made Fortnite an exclusive, because they made it. If they commissioned entirely new games Like Nintendo or Sony, no one would mind. But they're buying games that have been crowdfunded, games that have been in development for years and so on. Of course, by now, any exclusive will be frowned upon. It would have made sense for them to bankroll Borderlands 3, and if Randy could stop watching barelylegal teens squirt for a second and explain the concept that the game wouldn't exist without Epic, I don't think that many people would be opposed to it. Not having a fucking chink botnet and not being funded by the chinese government would help as well.
Consider this: Epic bought out Rocket League and it's getting taken off Steam despite being there for years.
Microsoft bought out Minecraft and not only did it stay on all the platforms it was out, it came out on many more, including New 3DS, after Notch had said there would never be a 3DS port.

So it's not actually an exclusive, it's a timed exclusive. If you're going to pirate it, this changes nothing. If you're going to buyfag, you can pick it up on steam at a later date for a deep discount once it has been thoroughly beta tested by the goyim who pre-ordered it.

The problem doesn't really affect anyone would is willing to do anything other than buy shit full price day one, yes, but that's not really the point of contention either.

It's pretty sure to already be violating some kind of competition law actually.

They could be doing it right now, to defend their profits from Epic.

>Would you still be complaining if people made their games Epic store exclusive on their own accord?
Who in their right mind would do that? Why?
But yes, in an ideal world every game would be a non-steam release, not tied to any kind of launcher. Except that would make frequent updates way more a hassle, and devs tend to want to add DRM to their shit, so realistically we will always have to use some shitty DRM launcher. Now if someone was coming out with a shitty DRM launcher that is somehow a lot better than Steam, supporting that would make sense, but clearly the chink-funded Epic launcher that has been using underhanded methods to get users from the start is not going to be an improvement over Steam, so even if they are equivalent as you claim, why shill for it? It's already bad enough that we have to use Steam, why do you want to need to use both Epic and Steam?

Actually that type of deals aren't very uncommon at all, it just doesn't happen to some random bagels in walmart.

What profits? Steam is still overwhelmingly more popular than all the alternatives combined, GoG for instance is dying even without anyone doing anything.

It's like you're so complacent with everyone already doing it with Steam that you don't see the irony in this at all.
>that would make frequent updates way more a hassle
Wow spending another 10 minutes sending your updates to alternative platforms is such a fucking hassle, definitely not worth giving thousands or potentially millions of people alternative and more ethical ways to consume the product.
>why do you want to need to use both Epic and Steam
Here's that argument again, "if you complain about Steam you want people to use Epic". I'm just annoyed when people flip their fucking shit about Epic store when Steam has historically a much worse track record despite probably 99% of PC games still being exclusive to them even with 3 or so decent alternatives out there.

That's because the developers got greedy and as usual, used crowdfund shekels from paypigs to bait real (((investors))). Those (((investors))) are going to get their ROI one way or another, whether it's partial ownership in the company or an advance against sales/royalties. Accurately budgeting for a game is nearly impossible outside of extremely disciplined and small projects. More often than not, you're going to run out of money before you're finished, except now you're already beholden to (((investors))), and your next deal isn't going to be as sweet, so maybe you have to give up controlling interest in your company just so you can finish the project and get out from under the debt you've accrued. Whoops! Now you're no longer 'indie', and the kikes are calling the shots.

>What profits?
Those they would've made from these timed exclusives? However popular they are, they're definitely losing money because of Epic, not to mention the developer cut campaign Epic has been putting on.
>It's like you're so complacent with everyone already doing it with Steam that you don't see the irony in this at all.
No, that's precisely why I'm asking. The reason people voluntarily make Steam exclusives is because they can't be bothered with other DRM platforms, because nobody uses them, and they are jews and don't want to release DRM-free on GoG.
>definitely not worth giving thousands or potentially millions of people alternative and more ethical ways to consume the product.
GoG is more ethical. Devs don't go with GoG because the devs and publishers are jews. Epic is not more ethical. And it's not about the devs releasing the updates, it's about every single user having to update. If you had to go to a website to grab a new version of a game every single time it updates and it updates weekly, you'd get sick of it real fast.
>if you complain about Steam you want people to use Epic
Clearly the discussion here is about Epic being fucking shit because they jewed yet another game real hard, so when you come here and post
>b-but Steam is gay too!
then it automatically implies that you are defending Epic. Either way, devs defaulting to voluntary exclusivity on Steam is because Steam is the go-to platform for advertising and distributing your game. Epic offering much better cuts to developers should motivate developers to release their games on Epic's store along with Steam, if that's all Epic was doing, I don't think people would complain too much. But then Epic is forcing exclusivity on their obscure shit chink platform that nobody wants to use, often, like in this game's case, screwing over people who were promised a Steam release. If Steam went and paid off developers that were going to release on GoG to make their game Steam-exclusive, after people paid for GoG preorders, I'm pretty sure we'd be having long threads calling gayben a filthy fat jew, too, but Steam is not doing that, and Epic keeps doing it repeatedly, which is why you keep seeing these threads specifically shitting on Epic, and not Steam.

Is this a new marketing tactic? Say you will put a game on Steam for early crowdfunding THEN backstab your backers by selling out to Epic while calling them toxic. At this point crowdfunders don't care about making a product. They just want money from nothing and banging traps for free.

Why do newfags come to this board, months after plenty of discussion has been had about the Epic store and talk as if this is the first time we are discussing this?
It's a barebones digital distribution client with almost none of the features Steam has for those that care.
It's terms of service seem to be even worse than Steam.
Simply having it installed in your PC tanks your performance, it's running shit on background that has no reason doing so. There's plenty of evidence some anons made where the damn thing keeps phoning home all the damn time, reporting what you have installed and even your Steam friend's list.
I didn't believe it at first and had installed since I played the new UT, but when I uninstalled I did notice a bump in performance overall.
Or to put it in a more simpler manner: When you make a digital storefront that's worse and less consumer friendly than Origin of all things, you're didn't just severely fuck up, you did it on purpose.
The only one who profits from this are the Devs that get a shitload of money with exclusivity deals and Epic that gets more games to it's libraries. There's nothing for the end user to get from this other than more accounts to lose track of, having to deal with underhanded competition tactics, and a split in PC userbases.

If you're curious, just get the damn thing and play a free game so you don't actually waste any money with this.
UT or Fortnite will do the job, but you don't even need a game for this.
Just play anything that's demanding and see if your PC doesn't struggle harder to do it when you have their store running.
You can also just ask for the screencaps of that autistic anon that ran several tools to monitor inbout and outbound communication if you feel like clenching your anus afterwards.

Crowdfunder devs are a fifth of the reason why we can't have good video games. Eventually only (((investors))) will be allowed to crowdfund projects by law the more kikefarters run away with money. Unlike crowdfunding where the dev can run away with your investment, investors are required by law to be paid dividends because they own part of your business.
This is my prediction what will happen soon. It isn't a matter of if but when.

I've never backed a game in my life and I never will. That said, I think devs that do this kind of thing should be held accountable in some way because they couldn't do this if it was an investor bankrolling the game, the amount of legal fees, time and money they'd had to pay would be such that they'd even have to sell the IP of the game

They are "held accountable" by having the fans not support it afterwards. That's the main and only reason to actually buy or back videogames. If you actually support devs, you have an impact in the market. If you don't, they can do this without any consequence at all.
Defend what you like instead of wishing you could attack that which you can't reach.

Yeah, also possibly devs & publishers literally not knowing what GOG is. And maybe GOG is a little at fault by sometimes (I heard) making games release a month or more later than it should be. Sure, no DRM and no early access, that is good and only the worst devs will not apply, but sometimes GOG standards are too high or dumb.
>And it's not about the devs releasing the updates, it's about every single user having to update. If you had to go to a website to grab a new version of a game every single time it updates and it updates weekly, you'd get sick of it real fast.
Frankly, I have been using Galaxy for my official games on GOG (Which updates games), and when not, its obviously not viable to update pirated games. So when is directly downloaded from GOG and not from Galaxy, dont they have updaters or similar? If not, then its dumb, but then its GOG at fault for not including updaters for the games in not-Galaxy mode.

It's not entirely without basis. Devs are usually in it for the creativity. Publishers are tasked with selling the fucking thing.
