Forgot game existed. Did want to play though, and now my patience has been rewarded with game now existing outside Epic.

Likewise.

I keep forgetting they are on pc

A good move on their part. Gets some people back into kingdom hearts in time for folk to think about the next installment.

Nice. Steam is inevitable!

That fucken sucks, I have the entire collection on epic already. Don't really feel like buying it again

PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world · 26 pts · 2y (5 replies)

And that’s exactly why Epic paid for the exclusive.

Yeah, its cool its on Steam. But it sucks for the people who didn't wait like 4 years. It is what it is but fuck exclusives.

Patient Gamers rise.

Remember: There will always be a better deal later.

Also: If you already have played it, you got the early possibility to do so.

I just pre-ordered your next comment I enjoyed this one so much.

Patient gamer reporting here.

As long as you wait, you are showing your support to it being epic exclusive with your wallet.

It's a sad reality that I also participated in the past, but after the deck never again

What?

You've got it already, hell, you bought it on the platform that keeps the smallest share of profit, why do you care that it's getting released on another launcher?

Sanctus@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (9 replies)

Cause I would have preferred to buy it on Steam so all my things are in one place. But as I said to another reply; it is what it is. I'm not buying it a 3rd time.

What's with the down vote? This seems kind of cool.

Maybe shouldn't have bothered with epic in the first place?

Sanctus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (5 replies)

How could I have known it would not remain exclusive...?

rdri@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (4 replies)

That's not the point. If you ask me I'd rather pirate a game like this vs paying for it on a crappy platform. And in case it can't be pirated I'd play something else. Though it's also possible to emulate these games I guess.

Sanctus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (3 replies)

That's not the point? Four years ago I wanted to play KH on my computer and the only place that had it was Epic.

rdri@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

And that's the main point of their business model - imposing artificial limits instead of caring about your experience. Don't fall for it, don't give them your money. The faster epic dies as a platform, the faster gaming industry will see improvements.

Why does it matter?

The platform isn’t changing, still Windows only

Sprawlie@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 2y (2 replies)

If we're lucky, Steamdeck verified will also mean it'll run fine on linux.

Cethin@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 2y

With a quick Google search it already does with the Epic version, though it's maybe a little janky (which I expect to remain). Valve created Proton, but you can use it outside of Steam.

Still Windows only

It’s not like you can’t use proton/wine with Epic

Why were you dumb enough to buy it on epic? Should've just pirated it

Sanctus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

That insult is unnecessary. And look at the date of this release: fitgirl repack
