I would argue that the developers will probably not see any of that money. Most of the time, it goes to a publisher since the publisher seems to be making the decision in most of these cases. At least that is what the developers of Metro Exodus and Borderlands have claimed. So this money isn’t even going to the…

Epic Games is literally bribing developers to delay their release. They could not even commit to an exclusive at all. Do not forget that they are also part of Phoenix Point, which lied to their backers (this is fraud by the way), and are charging people to get their refunds for said lie.

Actually, there are a lot of exclusives on Steam, but that’s because no one else was willing to accept them since they’re usually poorly made games out of stock resources or asset flips. But, if it were not for Steam, a game like PUBG and the battle royale genre as a whole would have never been noticed. The same could…

Steam is NOT a monopoly. It has a large market share, but that market share has dwindled over the years with more publishers creating their own digital platforms. At no point did Steam ever engage in anti-competitive practices on the scale that Epic does. Steam’s greatest violations was probably digital refund…

There is a big difference with what Epic Games does. None of the other launchers do that at the moment. The games that are unique to their platforms tend to be games that were self developed. Most other games can be purchased on multiple platforms. Epic Games is literally trying to start a monopoly while claiming…

This is why you don’t shift platforms with a series unless you really have to. You’re going to piss off a lot of people.

From the looks of it, they aren’t even paying the devs. They’re paying the publishers meaning that the devs aren’t actually getting a single cent of the money.

I bought the collector’s edition cause of the nice bag. The plush was great too.

The argument works both ways. Making a hard mode only game is the same as “just cater directly to me and only me” because making a hard game limits accessibility of a game. There is no disadvantage in adding an easy mode other than putting in the time to do so. A good game would have enemies that act and react…

There’s no disadvantage to putting an easy mode in a game. Most of the time, the game becomes more accessible with an easy mode. Take a look at God of War (2018). It has an easy mode and a fairly difficult hard mode. This follows the most basic requirements of being easy to learn, but hard to master, resulting in…

A company paid another company a ton of money to delay its release on other platforms. It seems pretty anti-consumer to me.

I hate the fact that they’re paying companies to literally delay releases for a year. It’s a dick move.

They were super rushed. They admitted on reddit. That’s why it’s been stealing data from your Steam app, such as your friend’s list.

I’m a little skeptical about this. For starters, don’t you need to purchase the game to even review it? The only place where review bombs should be a problem are the free to play games since they are free to purchase. 

And so does blatant lies, which is what got them into this mess in the first place

By comparison, MGS4's is very well done. The problem with KH3 is that it is relying on Union Cross’s story, which isn’t even done at the time of this writing. There are some long cutscenes that do little to contribute to the overall story. Some important characters just show up for a single cutscene while others make…

If your game is playable to anyone in the public, it is released. It is plain and simple. It doesn’t matter if it’s a demo, early access, or gold. And once it is out there, it can be criticized by anyone. The developers or publishers do not set the conditions, the public does.

Sorry, but this game was out a week ago. It can’t be called a Day One patch if it wasn’t released on the day the game was out. You shouldn’t have players waiting for a week for you to fix your broken game.
