Ultimately there are plenty of good games out and I own plenty I have not finished. Several of the Playstation items I wanted got Epic Store exclusive, so I got a PS5 and will not be playing them on the PC.ĮPIC may be giving developers good deals but it's where good games go to die. Mechwarrior 5, wanted that as well same story. Axiom Verge 2, yeah I wanted that and loved the first one but it released on Epic and I forgot it about and now there are a backlog of games that style I have on steam. I'd wanted to get into the new Samurai Shodown as did many people I know, but it was an epic exclusive and by the time it hit steam the community had dried up and nobody bought it. If it's on Steam I'll buy it, if it's only BattleNet I'll buy it, if I have to go farther than that it can get fucked. Their store isn't very good, and at this point people don't like dealing with the sheer amount of stores there are. I screwed around with Unreal Engine stuff at the start when a new Unreal Tournament 'might' start, that was a fail as well. Nah shoving a lot of blame at Epic is fine. They tried to compensate by reducing the match size and adding bots but it just made it worse. The developers weren't able to find a way to appeal to a big enough audience. That's too hardcore for most people and you need a very large player base for a BR otherwise you'll never find games. It was basically an Arena FPS with MOBA elements played in a BR environment. Harness the raw power of your gauntlets and tap into the unimaginable forces of the elemental planes. When magic is forbidden, locked in the iron grip of the Vowkeepers, it’s up to you to resist and reclaim what’s yours. The problem is it's too hardcore for a modern audience. Unleash your inner battlemage in Spellbreak. I personally really liked this game but even I didn't play it that much. That game is called Fortnite and it makes $5 billion a year.

When it was new people were saying 'man this game would be so much more popular if it was on Steam'. There was another BR game that also launched exclusively on EGS. Just search around youtube and forums and you'll find a lot of people complaining about the choices the developers made. Epic exclusivity wasn't holding this game back, the developers were. Unfortunately the developers weren't able to take advantage of it and grow the game so it died like 99% of BR games do. EGS gave it a bunch of front page advertisement and it actually had a decent player base and a chance to be a succesful game. It probably would have died even faster on Steam. There are hundreds of BR games that launched on Steam and died within a month.
