Alan Wake 2 was the very last thing I bought on Series X before selling it.
I might never get to finish it.
Maybe it will be my very first Epic Store buy? Maybe Not

Well when they change their mind and put it on steam, I’ll buy it then.

They might change their mind when Fortnite winds down in about 20 years from now.

I don't think it's even remotely possible to not have any less of a fuck to give.

What's the point of making a game exclusive for more than 2 years? Even denuvo tries to block first two weeks. This is ridiculous.

Alan Wake 2 is just boring and dull. A game cannot be carried by its art style if it is so unfun and even the story is awfully pretensious.
People who blame EGS for Alan Woke's 2 failure are delusional. This game still was on PS5 and XBOX. And failed even there. People just don't want to buy such a dull game to sit there and for hours move photos from the bottom of the screen to the board.

Epic funded the game, it's not a mistery.

Remedy does that ALL the time. Remember Quantum Break launching exclusively on... The windows store?
Control also started on the Epic Game store as an exclusive too.
And Alan Wake 2 forever exclusive.
They always pick the worst possible exclusivity deal, on the worst possible platforms, every single time. I never understood that about them.

A few years ago I was not ready to start buying games from the Epic Store. However, they gave me so many AAA games for free that I started using their store. I have no idea why so many people hate the Epic Store, as I have never had any problems with it. I bought Alan Wake 2 on epic store and everything works without problems.
Your spelling is.

It isn't walled. You can install the store for free and get the game. Its more like a free to use parking lot that is right across the street from your favorite parking lot.

Well fuck them then. I'll never buy anything on that shitshow of a launcher since being hacked two years ago, losing about 40 games, most of them paid for, and Epic telling me there is nothing they can do about it as I couldn't remember the exact date I originally installed their launcher. CUNTS!

I mean, sure it sucks, but the dude that wrote that email doesn't seem that bright either. He rather play the game at cut down visuals and frames than buy the game for $25 on sale and have it running path traced on his PC (he claimed that he could max it out). ON top of that he asks the guy who owns the Epic store if the game is releasing on their competitors platform lmao.

Terribly high wall to climb by downloading a free launcher, your anger seems justified

It's the same reason people warring for consoles.

Its a different garden than the one I want to play in. So yes it is exclusive to a different garden. Its walled off to that particular garden.
I don't want to play in a hypocrite's garden.

Nope. Pc's have been open platforms, where you can buy the games wherever. Epic wants to bring the console war style to PC, which is why I hate them. Trying to win over people with exclusives. Fuck off. Pc isnt about platform warring, which is exactly why Epic is trash.

There's literally a million reasons and threads on this subject if you want to learn why people hate the Epic store.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I thought it was already announced for Steam? Might be having a mandela effect moment though.

Remember, someone at epic really thought that digital-only console release was a good idea.

Most people are really irrational about this. Of course its bullshit that epic was buying alot of exclusives but alan wake 2 shows its hypocrisy.
You can't play all the gaas games from valve on epic game store or Microsoft game store.
Srsly I like using steam but valve is the most risk averse low effort company in the industry.

Millions of reasons, and I haven't noticed a single one. These reasons must be very weak then.

Yeah that's how I live too.
I have 3 apartments, each with only 1 room.
Makes no sense. I don't want to scatter my games/assets around multiple stores.
And I just don't like epic

I mean it’s “walled” from the perspective of the launcher or if you have SteamDeck or Linux as getting EGS games to run there is a pain.
And a lot of folks don’t want to support Epic especially considering some of their actions around in authorized data collection in the past. They scanned your Steam User info within permission (recent play list, friends info, etc) and also scanned local PC files.
And look at their stance on anti-cheat and Linux support.
