Cool.

I'll probably buy it to show support, as long as they don't price it like it's a brand new game, which it no longer is.

**** Epic. **** them long and **** them hard.

LOL I forgot I even had this game that I actually paid for. Some day I might even finish it. Maybe.

This game was also on the Microsoft Store since release. I got it there already for the Play Anywhere perk.

I can't remember what I got it free with but it was something involved in my 3700x build last year. One of these days I'll get around to playing it.

As someone who usually takes a long time to get around to new games anyways, I almost never notice when games have time-limited EGS exclusivity. Before I even know it, they're being made available on Steam. A year of exclusivity can go by real dang fast.

Probably better that way anyway. These days it seems like it almost takes a year for game to fully bake after release.

I played it because I Got a game pass sub with my 3700x, but I do not wish that expereience even on my enemies. I mean games pass on PC, not the game itself. I liked it well enough, but it's not spectacular I never went back to it after completing the main campaign once.

My experience wasn't far from this.

Game was not too bad.

Game Pass on the PC - ~almost~ there. Great idea, fails in the execution. I think tying it to the Windows Store, with it's very arcane method of file management and permissions, makes it pretty awkward to use. Particularly if your a neat freak and like all your files and folders to line up nice and tidy.

Yeah I tried that too, and yeah.... just not a very well thought out / designed process.

I think that might be how I got it as well but somehow I was able to link it to my EGS account. I do remember some kind of clunky process for it all though.
