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.

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.

Man, who to trust when reviews vary so wildly?

ACG's review is still locked behind his funding paywall, overall it appears to be another Borderlands game.

I buy from everywhere. If the worst happens I'll only be out 1/3rd ish of my library.

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.

+1 and their shit methodology, that's going to damage game development for years to come.

I could only get one of the freebies because they don't have a shopping cart and it required extra clicks of the mouse.
I keed I keed, I definitely snagged em both.

And yet, even on their freebies, you gotta click each one at a time. TOP CODERS at Epic... TOP. Coders.

Another competitive store? Yeah that's a good thing for consumers for sure.
A store that pays to remove choices from the consumers? Nah.

Doesn't seem complicated to me.

You mean a store that makes publishers an exclusivity OFFER, of course.

What is removing the choice from consumers is NOT the offer or the payment per se but the greedy as fuck publishers who ACCEPT the offer, fully well knowing that consumer choice will be (time) limited.

Complaining about a free game you don't have to take. Find some joy, dude.

Well ... when it's a Steam Exclusive in all but name, you have no choice but to use Steam, do you?

And they complain about Epic. *sheesh*

Valve/Steam didn't bribe the publisher to make it a Steam exclusive.

People were bitching about Epic well before any of that started happening. Gearbox chose exclusivity. So did Deep Silver. And they became pariahs because they wouldn't suck Gaben's dick. Yet Creative Assembly chooses to go onto Steam only and nobody bats an eyelid.

And don't forget the only reason why Steam started giving refunds was that the Australian government was taking them to court and they thought they could get out of it. Fuck Steam. They had the market on anti-consumer for years before anyone else came on board digital distribution. I'm glad their monopoly is being carved up.

Perhaps you missed the part where MeanJim wrote, rightly so, "Valve didn't bribe the publisher to make it a Steam exclusive." That's why nobody is up in arms about it. If the publishers wants to go exclusive on a particular platform that's their business. But when the platform pays a publisher not to sell their game on a competing platform that's when people get upset.
