⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bungie Devs Say Atmosphere Is ‘Soul-Crushing’ Amid Layoffs, Cuts, and Fear of Total Sony Takeover - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Sadly I lost interest in the game once they decided to remove content I’d paid for.

Gutting to see the developers suffer like this as I doubt they’re the ones making the shit decisions but are the ones taking all the hits with the layoffs.

Who is they?

The publishers could already set the prices lower on EGS by default with the 18% difference being put in consumers pockets making EGS a more enticing place to buy games for now, instead, they want to sell games the same price on EGS vs all other stores they offer titles on pocketing the difference.

EGS Exclusives even launch at the standard pricing despite the money they used to receive up front from Epic. None of this grandstanding is a benefit to me as a consumer and I won't give a fuck in supporting Epic/Tim until it is.

30% fees are insane. Those cost are passed down to us the consumer. We get shittier game because a third of the profit goes to these marketplaces.

Whilst that may be the case, every single day one launch on EGS and other stores (GOG, Microsoft, Steam) launch at exactly the same price on Epic despite the lesser cut. Not one single title I’ve seen launch at a lower price on EGS.

I feel it’s naive to think that is, the consumer would ever benefit from a lesser cut, the fat shits at the top would just keep more.

My main concern is for DigitalFoundry - genuinely one of the best, most entertaining, and in-depth spin off channels out there.

DF Direct is my podcast of choice when driving to/from work. Their video content and analysis is always my number one watch.

I'd be gutted if they ruined DF.

Oh no, this won't end well will it?
