I just bought the only game I’ll likely ever buy on EGS. It was Alan Wake 2. Being published by Epic, it will unlikely ever be anywhere else until EGS shuts down.
My justifications are as follows: I love the developer and want to support them.
That’s it. The experience was… fine, but far from streamlined. The Epic achievement system is terrible. Imagine walking around in a horror game, immersed in the atmosphere, then a loud cheery mobile app chime blaps through your headphones and a giant banner splatters across the top of your screen announcing your achievement totally jarring you out of the atmosphere.
Then, imagine you find out you can turn on a ‘do not disturb’ mode by pressing shift+f3, then imagine you need to turn it on every time you launch the game. That’s the Epic Games Store experience in a nutshell.
My 9yo daughter has a tablet with family link, so I can monitor what apps she wants to install. As the garbage games are mostly at the top free, she keeps asking for games that I reject, in most cases because it’s riddled with ads....
Good luck. We tried that rule too, it has led to so much stress and fighting. I’m certainly not suggesting to not try and hold the line. I’m just wishing you luck with it.
You underestimate the casual gaming crowd. The same people who buy all of the sims content, still play animal crossing to get cozy in bed before sleeping every night.
This comment is a little silly imo. There already is a GTA6. It’s been leaked in a playable form and we already know some of the storyline. The marketing machine has already started ramping up.
It compiled, and you could run around. That’s ‘playable’ in my opinion. Playable is the baseline, i.e. you can play it, but why would you want to. Bad Rats or Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing are also playable, and those are complete experiences.
