So, they crowd-funded the game, then sold the exclusivity to Epic?
Not great bob

Yeah, that is a pretty shitty thing to do to people who already bought your game, so you can get more money from Epic.
Customers get less features for the same price.

I will never understand the epic store hate.

What features? I guess cloud saves?
I will never understand the ignorance of people like you
and you? (unless that is sarcasm, which it does read like)

That was unnecessarily hostile.
That was a bit hostile and uncalled for.
I don’t understand the hate for the Epic store either. With that said, if during the crowd funding they said it would be available on Steam, and then later on after people put money in they changed to Epic exclusive then I get the outrage.
This, I get. Fine. You wanted it on one thing and that changed. That’s fine.

What does steam have that epic doesn’t to justify your undying devotion? Pretty much just cloud saves, right? And I guess achievements, if you care about them.
Was that particular game going to use some of the more unusual steam advantages, like its built-in controller support or steam workshop or something? Missing steam workshop, I could see getting upset over that in a heavily moddable game.

Do the Fig backers get a cut of what Epic gave the studio?

Ha. That’s an interesting question.
Are they at least offering the people who backed the game Epic keys instead of Steam keys? I’d be okay with that if I was at least still getting the game.
yes, and a year of free DLC
Not really. More like accurate. There have been hundreds of posts explaining in excrutiating detail why many people do not like these tactics by Epic. So maybe read those if you do not want to remain ignorant.
So you can only be ignorant if you disagree with all the people that hate epic. How dare others have other opinions.

Internet people are a’ gettin mad, y’all!
Well, to be fair, writing that you’ll “never understand” something in a topic where hundreds of posts discuss that very thing, is a pretty low-effort contribution. Like, great. And?
