A
post to the GAMEINATOR forums from 4A Games discusses
the controversy over
the
announcement that
Metro Exodus on will be a timed exclusive sold
through the Epic Games Store. This is written in the developer's native Russian,
but
DSOGaming notes that part of this includes the threat that if enough PC
gamers boycott the first-person shooter sequel, the next installment in the
series might skip the platform entirely. Here's a bit of the super-rough machine
translation Google offered of that part of the post:
But! Consider the
situation deeper. Someone says that they say they crap Exodus and the previous
games in the series, it will make the world better, they will put greedy
developers in their place. To this I can answer that in a pinch, if at all all
the PC players announce a boycott of the Metro, then the next metro, if it does,
is definitely not on the PC. Better or worse, decide for yourself. I personally
feel sorry for the loyal fans, yes. But my assessment of the work done
personally by me and my friends and colleagues will not change this. I firmly
know that almost everyone who pours this dirt on the net is also incapable of a
bit of what we have done and hopefully do more. And that means they have no idea
what they are talking about.
