Yeah I've read about that there too. I wonder what those characters will do once it's out and it sells like crazy. How petty they'll seem. I swear I knew nothing, or cared nothing about Epic Games store. I installed Steam in the first place cause Skyrim demanded it. I found Steam annoying doing their ads after I played what I cared about. Sticking itself everywhere. But I figured it's a bloatware some games need. Later I got a few more on it. Got used to it, but never worshiped it. Moment one it was announced Epic was needed for Shenmue, I installed it. Also intrusive, ads for their games pop up too. The demo loaded very fast, played fine, updated fine. The demo, and I'm guessing the full can be loaded onto Steam, and use lots of Steam's configuration for controllers not just recognized by the game.
Why should anyone care what icon they click before clicking play? Especially if it can even be Steam if it matters so much... Why do decisions made by the companies producing games matter to the end user that has to do almost nothing different to play the game? I do care now, it made me care. I want Epic to succeed, I want them to go big and as Nintendo, SEGA, Sony and MS to steal IP from others for exclusives to do it. The Steam worship on PC must end. If their demon Tim Sweeney has that much money, and is serious, I want him to announce full funding for Shenmue 4, yes with an understanding that maybe even half of the profits will go to him after, same from Sony. I wish the exclusive was not for one year. It has to be cemented in their brains, it's a dumb icon you click to update a game if it needs it, check files if it's broken, and click play. Epic does that, it does it fast and no it didn't bother my PC playing the game with it's footprint.
