Metro Exodus Message Board  

It's not just us but all gamers in general. Competition is good even for us. But exclusivity is bad. You should not only have the freedom to play the game you want but also to buy it where you want. EPIC store released just 2 month ago, we might see some more exclusive games in the near future. But we will have to see how it turns out in long run. I would expect some publishers jumping on the train only to see Steam lowering their 30% and once that happens (or not) they might soon get back to Steam.

In 6-12 months we can say more about it. But as a trainer maker we definitely prefer one platform for all the 30-50 games we start and update every day 😉 But that's just convenience. A big issue will be when different stores have different update schedules and / or some updates are only released on one store.

is there any way to get the steam version, i dont want to use the anticonsumer epic games launcher

This is upsetting since I refuse to use the epic store client. So I hope this doesn't become the norm.
Luckily I pre-ordered before they took it off steam but still upsetting. 😣

Many of us do prefer Steam for our games but we appear to be looking at the beginning of a significant shake-up in the distribution space.

Epic has money, they've made over $3 Billion on Fortnite alone. Besides Deep Silver's Metro Exodus, Ubisoft has announced it will be selling its Division-2 on the Epic Store and not Steam. Those are the first two AAA games ignoring Steam in favor of the Epic Store. Also, some of the Indie games are moving to the Epic Store as well.

Like 0X90 said, competition is good for the industry though it can get confusing before it gets better. This is a major competition for Steam, it will be interesting to see what all shakes out in game distribution in the coming months and what it will mean to both CH and players. When games we want are only available on Epic, then we'll have to do some business there, too.

As always, we will support the most popular platform first and then support additional platforms based on the popularity of the trainer. If the trainer is popular enough we have no problem making multiple versions for Epic and Steam or Origin, etc as we have done plenty of times in the past. We just can't do it for every game out there as we don't have the resources.

Physical copies still contain a valid steam key and can still be used.
