I'll just leave this here for your consideration
Not that made me laugh!
The whole anime style is a complete turn-off. No thanks
Considering they ONLY include those games on Steam, this award is becoming less and less relevant. Control was by far and away the best game this year.

I was a pretty vehement Steam hater for like all of 2004, but by mid 2005 I had changed my tune.
EGS has barely been out for a year. There's some hope for them yet, eh?

Steam is my preferred store and I can't see that changing anytime soon. People do, however, need to take off the coke bottle rose tints they seem to don whenever they look Steam's way.
I will buy from Steam ONLY if it's not available anywhere else.

Oh I'm sure that Epic is working its ass off to improve EGS and make sure it'll be competitive with Steam. It won't happen overnight. Even Steam got where it is now update after update.
People seem to conveniently forget what an absolute shitshow Steam was when it first launched.
I keep saying this on r/pcgaming and for some reason I get downvoted to hell. Why is that?
Blah blah blah. What about all those games on Steam but nowhere else. Who knows what incentives Steam offers that we don't know about. They're not exactly transparent.

The quality of those freebies.....unbelievable
I'm surprised he can see the ground from his high horse.

DLing now.
Say what you will about EGS, the fact that their existence means a first-party Sony studio is finally releasing their previously Playstation-exclusive titles on the PC is a fucking win for all gamers.
There goes the baby AND the bathwater.
Some people ....

A number of the Steam reviews are name-checking Terminator: Future Shock and Terminator: Skynet so if you appreciated those it might be worth a closer look.
I remember "Future Shock" back in the day and it was a damn good game. Is it exclusive to Steam?

Cool. Now we'll see how many people actually will buy games on the EGS rather than Steam, if given the actual choice.
There's also Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam and EGS.
But why would you give money to either, when you can buy it directly from GOG and have the developer benefit? Why would you willingly give money to a "middle man" who is reaping the benefit of others work when you have another option?
More companies need to incorporate 2FA on their accounts.
I'M LOOKING AT YOU TURBINE!

It's probably DLC.
Loot boxes? No thanks.

Man, who to trust when reviews vary so wildly?
I'm not sure what reviews you're reading, but most are pretty solidly 8s and 9s, with PCGamer being the outlier.

ACG's review is still locked behind his funding paywall, overall it appears to be another Borderlands game.
Of course it is. Why mess with the best looter-shooter out there? If it had changed radically, people would complain about that.
Epic Games: Damned if the do. Damned if they don't.

I buy from everywhere. If the worst happens I'll only be out 1/3rd ish of my library.
LOL! Hadn't thought about that. I have my games spread around as well: Epic, Steam, Origin, Bethesda, GOG, uPlay. If Steam ever went down I'd lose a lot of games, but mostly older games. I suspect some would loose everything.
And dodging tax as well.

Nah, I'm good.
Same here, I hate EGS so much, that I haven't grab one of their freebie BS games. Just wont support their shit platform.
I can't wait for Steam to become a public company. Then you'll finally regret making Steam the unassailable virtual monopoly that it really it currently is.
