Hi everyone, here at Epic we care about giving the consumer choice and helping out indy devs, what's that you say you want to release your game on Steam as well as the Epic Store? Naff off. https://medium.com/@info_68117/why-i-turned-down-exclusivity-deal-from-the-epic-store-developer-of-darq-7ee834...

From what I have read and heard from someone who has played it it doesn't sound like you are missing out. It has similar issue to the first game in that the content gets repetitive quickly and the universe doesn't feel big because you are fast travelling everywhere and it's done without any real fan...

Epic have redesigned game pages on the store and added cloud saves to a bunch of more games. They have also integrated keyless purchases from the Humble Bundle store so you should be able to get games at less than RRP from there.

Give me footage dammit!

Those are some tasty games for next week.

Age of Wonders: Planetfall

This is a bit good, takes lots of stuff from Civ, adds in a load of sci-fi stuff and then throws XCOM style tactical combat on top.

Nothing wrong with most of that, the idea was to allow companies to claim tax relief like they are able to do in other countries so as to make the country more attractive. It just looks bad when the companies in question don't pay tax.

The whole thing has followed the usual depressing pattern. Now that they have received abuse, which is totally out of order, they can just ignore all the measured responses and well meaning arguments about the move under the guise that it's just trolls saying it and also gloss over the fact that the...

Mercedes only won on the Sunday because of that brilliant strategy call; I get the feeling that Max would have managed to stay in front had Lewis not pitted towards the end Possibly, but Max's tyres were pretty much dead towards the end so he might have struggled to stay ahead anyway. I think Lewis...

Have to wonder about the validity of the final image on that second link because this is the internet after all, but the response is awful.

I really don't buy the "Steam used to be crap too!" argument. Yes, it was, but then it improved, and the improved version is what we now have, what Epic is being measured against. I can't pretend to know how complicated it is to set up things like user ratings, shopping carts and, well, user inform...

How to and how not to announce your are going Epic Games Store exclusive, all in one post. https://ooblets.com/2019/07/we-did-the-thing/ I'm fine with the explanation for why they made the decision, but the condescension contained in both the start and at the end of the post are terrible and have pu...
