So, what’s the over-under on when it’ll show up on Gamepass?
Laughs in Heroic Launcher
Just starting on gaming, I got this yesterday. Why is it special?
It’s Epic games without the Epic games launcher. Also replaces GOG Galaxy. And you can shop both stores from Heroic.
mfw i don’t pay them money
NOOOOOOO!!! What the hell am I supposed to do with this useless PC now?!
Epic actually financed Remedy’s development of the game, as opposed to swooping in at the last minute to offer a timed-exclusivity deal. In that case I was fine buying the game on their platform if it meant the game got to exist at all. After all I do not expect Valve to sell their games on another platform than their own.
Don’t get me wrong: I’d rather the game was sold on Steam, or even better, DRM-less on GOG. I did wait for a number of those timed exclusives to find their way on Steam or other stores (Borderlands 3, Kena, Journey, Control, Hades, etc). It’s a shame that so many people will not get to experience AW2 because of its delivery platform, because it’s a damn unique game.
As much as I hate Epic, I actually bought AW2 based on that logic but ended up refunding it because, and I can not stress this enough, FUCK ALWAYS ONLINE REQUIREMENTS ON PURELY OFFLINE GAMES. I refuse to pay for an offline game that locks me out when my internet isn’t working…doubly so when the pirated version works perfectly fine without internet.
P.S. I also refuse to pay for single player games with arbitrary online “features” made to force a DRM check, or games published by cunts that do layoffs and shatter studios while posting record profits but that’s a different conversation.
Sucks for Remedy then, since they won’t be getting my money.
Yarrr!
That’s what they said about red dead redemption too
That’s fine, I will never purchase Alan Wake 2 then
It’ll eventually be included in a giveaway anyways like Control was. So if I haven’t bought it by now I’m fine waiting for the giveaway.
Guess I’ll never get it then.
I guess I’ll just wait till you dipshits give it to me for free or I’ll pirate it if I ever get the urge to play it.
Damn, and I was just about to break my “have never played Alan wake” streak…
That’s okay, since I am never coming to Epic Games. Seems only fair.
