I really want to play it, but it’s on epic. I’m waiting for steam version.

Same here. I’ll either wait it out until it eventually comes to Steam or just watch an LP.

PC gaming has taught me patience.

Yeah, I got control goty edition on steam with all the bells and whistles and thoroughly enjoyed it. I expect the same from Alan Wake.

I agree. Also having some decent native optimization for the Deck wouldn’t be too bad.

Why the issue for epic. Seems to work just fine for me

Because I hate using their crappy launcher. It needs me to log in every time. It’s more annoying than my banking app.

I don’t use it because there’s no official Linux client, and they don’t have Linux versions of games even when they exist on other platforms. Linux is what I use, so I’d have to go out of my way to use their platform.

Why bother? Steam gives me a fantastic user experience, almost all the games EGS has (and probably more), actively invests in my platform of choice, makes innovative hardware products like the Steam Deck (which I love), and prices are very similar.

EGS gives me… some free games and holds exclusives hostage? That’s not enough to win me over. Give me a good user experience, not bribes.
