Klapaucius Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Steam? Epic? KSP Website? What is the reason for your decision? Edited February 23, 2023 by Klapaucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Steam. Superior services are worth a higher price, it becomes a no-brainer to me when the price is the same. I've bought Sea Of Thieves on Steam after trying it on the Gamepass and all my friends that play it did the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aziz Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Steam gives the convenience of automatic updates and a dozen of other things, and it launches on system startup anyway. Epic is just.. it exists, I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldForest Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Epic shouldn't even be a consideration. It's been like... what? 5 years? And they still haven't made it even a quarter as good as Steam? Besides, Epic still does extremely anti-consumer practices and should not be supported. So, yeah, Steam for life.

You have 3 chances vs 4 million players. The odds are not in your favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to have control, be able to rollback to the version I want, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abel Military Services Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Steam, of course! Funding gaben for Team Fortress 3 and portal 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoSBoL Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Cloud saving, having all my games on one platform to be downloaded and the most important thing, in house streaming of games to my (considered ancient) laptop flawlessly without running hot or depleting the battery is a no brainer to me, Steam it is.

Scarecrow71 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I have Steam, but only because of Shadowrun (which I no longer play and hasn't been supported for YEARS). I have Epic, but only because of the freebs (KSP1, City of Gangsters, Star Trek Online). I will probably purchase the game from one of these due to the automatic updates when they become available as opposed to remembering to go to the KSP store to get them. Unless the launcher comes with an auto-update feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashandalar Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Steam for ease of running it through Valve Proton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakaCito Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 i think steam is the way to go as much as i want to give directly to the devs but the steam client service and customer support is just amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalessin1 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 KSP website because no DRM. When you buy something on Epic or Steam You only buy rights to play but You are not really owner of the game itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JebsBigToe Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 As long as Steam allows rollback like in KSP1, I'll stick to Steam. With mods coming later different versions will have more importance than others so rollingback will be an important feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K^2 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Epic Games are on my coal for solstice celebrations list, so I'm very likely to stick with Steam. It sounds like we can't get away from every publisher doing their own launchers, but at least with Steam, I have a launcher for all the launchers in the one place.

Whether you buy it on Epic, Steam, or the website the license agreement is going to be the same, as the DRM if they choose to include one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtherDave Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) I'm not sure I am going to get it, at least not until there's official macOS or Linux support. But if/when I do, it'll almost certainly be on Steam. Edited February 24, 2023 by TheOtherDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
