Not true Mark! We were indeed promised a Steam version, and when we were asked which platform we wanted to play the game on, the two options were "PlayStation 4" and "Steam"!!! I just checked my email for confirmation. This is what was in it:
Also in my emails, check the last line in the requirements:
So to me this is very simple: give me my Day-1 Steam key, or a full refund.

Ah, another sack of money being dangled over a dev that then does a 180 on a promise, good job Epic, you suck!

Enter the epic era. Puke.
Well I did look at the kickstarter page and there is no launcher confirmed. So I would think your email confirmation is probably subject to change.

The article has been amended. Apologies for the inaccuracy. Several other reputable websites reported this as such, but I guess they were also misinformed.

That is seriously shady of the devs to pull this, They promised it would launch on Steam as that was one of the funding bullet points, Now I'm not a Steam fanboy but flat out lying to your customers that helped fund the game is an immensely scummy move.

Nothing to do with morals. For all you know the people who paid for it on Steam still get it. OR they were running out of money and the only way to get it to launch was this deal.
Honestly, who cares.

I don't care. Well, I will right up until it has cloud saves. Then I won't care.
Just for y'all's info Metro started out as a steam key I bought, yet I got a epic key instead. So it's happened before. In fact, didn't they put stickers over the steam part on retail packs? Sure I saw that unless I was off my tits on Pregabalin and Seroquel......

I've never understood comments like this when it's obvious that a hell of A LOT of people care that gave the devs money.
What you really mean is "This doesn't impact me so I don't care".

Not what I mean at all.
I said what I meant and meant what I said.
Gamers are so quick to judge and never care about anything. Gamers are so black and white these days.
What if they ran out of money? Hmm? What then? Should they not take this exclusive deal so they can feed their families? I sure as f* would.
Outside of that people can just use the epic store and get over themselves. Sure they promised steam. Oh well out the window. Move on with life it's their fault for backing a game from Kickstarter. Nothing is guaranteed and relying on promised words from a company is naive.

Stickers are because of the sheer cost to recall all labels and redo them. It made sense.
