All of these titles are more known than they were before; I can say that with confidence. They weren't making headlines all over the place, now they are. You want to believe otherwise be my guest.
And yes Kickstarted games taking these deals are undeniably taking the biggest reputation hit; in some cases having to do refunds, etc. Nobody is denying the negative aspects of this. You are the one refusing to discuss any possible positive out of these deals.
Console owners going "Yasssss fuck valve and pc master race, they're the worst!" aren't buying these games now they've heard of them, any more than the people whose first exposure to Ion Fury was an Era hitpiece are now cancelling their preorders
JFC you are one obnoxious fucking twat. Who said anything about console owners? And that Ion Fury example is a great one...lol.. the controversy surrounding that game might increase it's sales...
You're an era poster, and era is a north american console forum.
You don't follow Pc gaming, so you don't know what upcoming PC titles people are looking forward to.
Half of the posts in any given EGS thread talking about how great EGS exclusivity is, are from people who don't fucking post in any topics except sony or nintendo threads, but suddenly get a boner for EGS.
Much like when people suddenly started cheerleading how great the Windows 10 Store is, when they only ever post in xbox threads.
If you don't think the majority of posts about how great EGS exclusives are
aren't console war by proxy, you're kidding yourself.
I have no fucking clue what Man Of Medan is and couldn't give 2 fucks about it because I don't own a playstation and don't follow playstation news.
Doesn't mean
nobody has heard of it.
I do think that it's probably the biggest issue with the store now that theyve put in cloud saving, and if I was affected I'd be mad as fuck. I just know that I mostly speak about this issue with americans/english speakers/people in unaffected territories, and it strikes me as embracing a fringe issue just to make one's more personal problems with EGS seem valid.
there's a laundry list of complaints about the EGS; again, I really cba to go through them all to persuade you why "just a strefront bro" is an awful, uninformed take.
the fact they don't do regional payments is just one of the many actual lies that have been told;
"70/30 split is terrible, nobody deserves that cut, we'll do 88/12"
"Why don't you support regional payments?"
"oh, well we can't afford to at an 88/12 split, so we pass those costs onto customers at checkout"
