Cyberpunk is CD-PR, which is CD-P, which is GoG. I doubt it'll be Epic exclusive. In fact I'd much rather Steam lose monopoly to GoG than Epic.

Cyberpunk will be available on all relevant platforms. I saw it on GoG, Steam and EGS. Purchased it on Steam as I got more friends listed there as on GoG Galaxy.

I am refunding my none existing preorder. We all know PGI's going Mickey Mouse MW5 and now no Steam workshop for their customers to improve on their product.

Steam doesn't have a monopoly though. GOG, Origin, Uplay, and here comes Johnny come lately, Epic game store. Only instead of trying to deliver an equally good or better service. They're under cutting the competition and extorted players by forcing exclusivity where there technically need not be any. They're screwing over the customers, while touting being 'pro developer', but only delivering a sub par service.

In addition to everything else, Tencent uses the epic launcher like spyware, and shares all data (and some of the profits) with the Chinese Govt. Will NEVER use epic launcher. Getting a Refund.

[TheZomby]

Oooo money back to put in the Clan Invasion kickstarter instead ! Nice timing

[CrustyMech]

Hellgate London. Firefall. Many others I can't even remember. Now MW5.

It's not them, it's me. I must be an Albatross.

[Bowelhacker]

Nice of them to include refund instructions in the very message announcing the EXCLUSIVE!!!!! ****.

I was hater.
But guy's... Everithing is going for Epic store.
Mega hits like Cyberpunk, MW5 and it is UR engine, that is under hat of Epic games.

Yeah, it's not like CD:PR has their own DRM-free storefront or anything. Oh ****, wait they do!

Is there proof? If so, I'm out. Or is it some kind of myth? Couldn't find any clarification.

[Torchfire Katayama]

Epic Games exclusive? Refund.

With a 30% cut from Dev's Im not sure why gamers should like Steam.

People obviously have forgotten the early days lol.

It is not about 30%. It is about relationship to their consumers. Steam is huge platform with tons of features. EGS has absolutely nothing. So of course I(as a standard consumer for example) want to buy game on platform i like, on platform where i already have about 100 games, where i have most of my active friends, where i can chat, vote and bla bla bla. And there is a $h*t hole where u have 25 games for sale, where u cant share your opinion, where u cant tell is this game good or not. And more over one smart *** forces you to play the game you were promised on other platform/platforms exclusively on their platform. That`s why people rage.

And let`s be honest we don`t care about developers. We only care about game we are going to play. Good game does not need exclusivity or something else. It will sell itself.

Ok. Now I understand.
But MWO was from beginning undercut, and almoust broke.
It started, cut the real programers from work, didn't cut from IS XL engine bull sh...t.
Now the story is almoust the same,but they now have UR engine, and have better start up to give us the game.

I didn't pre-ordered becouse I belive only in realisation.
I will buy it, becouse I love Mechs.

I'm more sceptic about Microsoft licence, and what will gona happened, if it expire on 2020.

Microsoft always made the best games in 90'...

[Pain G0D]

Epic games ? As in Fortnite BR ? I play that as much as MWO .

I don't give a hoot about portals . If I need a Epic games store portal to access my preorder , I don't really have a problem with that .

All I see that's a bit annoying is the preorder being delayed .

[Bowelhacker]

Looks like Catalyst's Kickstarter is going to get a bunch more of my money.

[B0oN]

I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert... near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal these words appear:

'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings;

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Words of doom, warning of arrogance, yet no one heeds them in the howling gale that is the showering of epic´s gold .

Russ, you sure have a damn good way of making things absolutely bleak and miserable .
You reap what you sowed .

I hope the advance in sales was worth it, I for one will not support this **** even after exclusivity.

Exclusive from Epic games store? Good thing I did not pre-order.

[Arkansas6A]

I remember one of the developer AMAs stating that it would be available on GoG, and I was ecstatic. I also could swear I remember someone stating that MW5 would not be an exclusive, anywhere...

I love MechWarrior. but frankly, EGS is just too creepy with their connections to companies like TenCent. And horrific business practices. For me, the release date is now December 2020.

-I would have happily purchased on GoG.

-I would have reluctantly purchased on steam (I hate their DRM, it always seemed to activate somehow in offline mode when I was working in the middle of the Atlantic with no internet).

-I would have been happiest to purchase it directly from PGI, with no middle-man involved.

-I will not purchase anything from Epic until they seriously reform how they do business, and lose some of their owners.
