    Yeah it’s a video game. It’s a blast, big recommend from me. It’s definitely firmly inspired by Pokemon, but it’s a pretty significant departure from the formula into being its own unique thing. Much more sandbox/open-world, modified combat system, etc. Worth checking out especially since it’s a well-polished indie game for only $20 full price. I know this sounds like an ad but I swear to god I have no affiliation, I just like the game a lot.








  • I gave what I see as a significant example in my original comment. Not being able to see comments or reviews from those who have purchased games through the storefront is a problem for me. If a game has a bug or problem, especially if it is one that could potentially be tied to or unique to the EGS version, I would like to know about it. That EGS currently doesn’t provide readily available user feedback when it frankly has been the standard as defined by steam, just doesn’t for me.

    So you have to ask yourself why they wouldn’t include such a simple a rudimentary feature - the only result I can come up with is to appease developers who want to prevent being negatively impacted by bad reviews. Thus what we have is prioritizing the wants of developers at the expense of features which benefit consumers.




  • I say this every time Epic comes up but it remains the same.

    Steam is the pro-consumer storefront. Epic is the pro-developer storefront. What Epic seems to fail to understand is that by being so staunchly pro-developer, they effectively become anti-consumer. And as a consumer, I’m just not going to spend money on an anti-consumer marketplace.

    When Epic considers adding necessary pro-consumer measures like actual user reviews so I can hear how a game actual performs from real end users, then and only then will I consider Epic a real storefront viable for consumers.





  • I agree. I don’t think there some deeper evil or complicated agenda at play here, it’s just the same standard boring greed that has been ruining humanity since the beginning. The worst of us will always take and take and take all they can unless the rest of us force them to share.
