OFFICIAL Epic Games Store

i love you beamng devs

 

just leave the devs alone, I doubt much is going to change

 

What bad precedent? "A game that launched on Steam and got 10 years of free updates may eventually be released on other storefronts and continue receiving free updates on all platforms"? I don't see anything problematic here.

Now, if Epic had bought out BeamNG and delisted it from Steam/restricted Steam updates, that would be something worth getting upset about. This is just another option for (some) people.

Quality DLCs should be things that add value to the game (not paywall planned content) and help the devs support this game that we all love. Modders already sell vehicles of varying quality on the forums, so it doesn't seem unreasonable to me for the devs to release their own high-quality paid vehicles as additions to the game (i.e. not replacing the free vehicles we get now with updates). But as tdev pointed out, it would probably be good to wait until things like the campaign and UI overhaul are finalized.

 

supply a key for epic if you have steam version?
i orignally bought from humble and got supplied steam key, didnt really want to go to steam version but got a bit annoying after a while downloading or waiting for humble to update to current version. much rather with epic if dont have to run a epic/steam client while playing

 

Thanks for being awesome devs!!! I have my gripes about epic, but I trust you folks completely. I often tell my friends that beam has the best dev team that I've ever come across. Keep up the great work and don't pay too much attention to the folks who are overreacting to this!

 

What bad precedent????????

So "They are unlikely to even lose anything but they have a chance to gain something"? Seems like a good market strategy to me.

 

supporting a company that basically spearheaded exclusivity agreements for PC gaming.

 

Saying "Spearheaded" is a bit odd when other companies have a history of doing it way earlier, and nothing about what Epic does to me sounds like bad or illegal business..

 

so forcing exclusivity deals isn't a bad practice?

 

Well, at least BeamNG can get more players this way. Nice.

 

steam works on windows 8.1 (idk about windows 7) "unsupported" means you are not supported, not that you cant use it. it doesn't mean you cant use steam

to my knowledge atleast

 

They are never being forced, they are being offered an exclusivity deal in return for a chance to make money, some take them, ohers dont.

Exclusivity deals have been a thing since the Nintendo vs Sega console wars.

 

A GREAT majority of people aren't really fond of this, especially on this latest post:

 

true true i hope epic does not turn beamng mobile like they did with fortnite

 

We all make mistakes, in this case it is no biggie. We are just looking out for our favorite game, and our favorite devs

 

I wouldn't even call this a mistake. They have proven trustworthy at every turn and being on another marketplace only opens the door for more players/money for development.
