minus-squareDungeon Master@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkarrow-up70·8 months agoI would have bought it if it hadn’t been an Epic exclusive. Maybe when it releases on Steam.
minus-squareGamma@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up30·8 months agoAgreed. I loved the first but I’m not going to install epic for one game
minus-squaresfera@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up11·8 months agoWhat about something like Heroic Game Launcher? I’m not advocating for Epic, just pointing out that alternatives exist.
minus-squareGamma@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-28 months agoI primarily play on TV and VR so big picture is already my interface of choice Edit: does it even support Steam? They’re not advertising it on the FAQ: Support for launching games from the Epic Games Store and GOG
minus-squareTelorand@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·8 months agoYou add the game in Heroic, and it has a menu option to add the game to Steam. There’s another setting that will do this automatically, once the game is installed.
minus-squareGamma@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·8 months agoThat makes sense 👀 how’s that thumbnail db looking nowadays
minus-squareTelorand@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·8 months agoSteamGridDB? Fantastic, especially now that the Steam Deck is part of the ecosystem!
minus-squareLuvon@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoI 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
minus-squaresfera@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoPlaynite? I would love to use it if it would support Linux.
minus-squareLuvon@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·7 months agoIt looks like Linux support is going to be actually actively looked at again soon with playnite 11, so there is still hope https://github.com/JosefNemec/Playnite/issues/59#issuecomment-1083572073
minus-squarebread@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up25·8 months agoI’m sure there are many who share that sentiment. I tend to forget games even exist if they’re Epic exclusive.
minus-squarem-p{3}@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up16·8 months agoI’ll wait for the GOG release, I have Control there already.
minus-squareReversalHatchery@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoDo you think this one will be there too, with tencent in the picture?
minus-squarehornedfiend@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·8 months agoI 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…
minus-squareteawrecks@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·8 months agoI have to assume they did the math and concluded an epic exclusive was still the more lucrative option.
minus-squareMidnitte@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·8 months agoI doubt it will since Epic is the publisher…
