I would have bought it if it hadn't been an Epic exclusive. Maybe when it releases on Steam.

[-] GammaGames@beehaw.org 6 points 4 months ago

Agreed. I loved the first but I’m not going to install epic for one game

What about something like Heroic Game Launcher? I'm not advocating for Epic, just pointing out that alternatives exist.

[-] bitfucker@programming.dev 4 points 4 months ago

So to compensate for a poor service that is epic game launcher you have to turn to oss solution maintained by the community thanklessly while still giving epic the 25% cut of your sale? I'd rather not give epic any money at all

[-] sfera@beehaw.org 1 points 4 months ago

As I previously said, I don't advocate for buying from Epic. But if it happens that you have some games from their Store (for whatever reason, like ones you got for free) there are alternatives to their client.

I use playknight, though I still don’t buy from epic.

Play knight gives me an overview of all humble keys I haven’t used as well as gog, steam, epic, etc.

Just helps me make sure I don’t buy a game on sale that I own

Playnite? I would love to use it if it would support Linux.

[-] Luvon@beehaw.org 2 points 4 months ago

It looks like Linux support is going to be actually actively looked at again soon with playnite 11, so there is still hope

I'm sure there are many who share that sentiment. I tend to forget games even exist if they're Epic exclusive.

[-] hornedfiend@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

I don't particularly hate epic,but ~90% of my games are on steam,so I don't really install the rest cause I don't need to.

that being said,I will buy it when and if it comes to steam. if not,oh well...

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

I'll wait for the GOG release, I have Control there already.

[-] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 2 points 4 months ago

Do you think this one will be there too, with tencent in the picture?
