It's fun to see the red pilled horde slinking out of their caverns to express themselves the way they know best--by review bombing games.

Is the campaign enabled for this? It's not especially long so you could plough through it over the weekend pretty easily if so

They don't specify that it's MP only so I'm assuming it is the entire retail video game.

The multiplayer wave defense is a lot of fun if the competitive matches feel daunting also

I played through the campaign (MP is not my cup of tea) the one month that I tried PS Plus. It was a pleasant experience, but unremarkable in my opinion.

Can you do e.g. 4 player co-op campaign or anything?

One of the few games I have paid money for in recent years solely on the strength of the GDQ speed run commentated by tomatoanus. Game is good. Haven’t touched multiplayer.

The singleplayer, despite looking very frantic, is pretty accessible and is very cool. The coop is up to four player wave based with difficulty options but you can also play with bots.

"Washington Post posted:In testimony Tuesday, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney admitted to Apple counsel that the Epic Games Store is projected to have incurred a $719 million loss by the year 2027, even if it doesn’t allocate costs across the company. Sweeney also confirmed estimated earnings from the store that year would be $5 million, when asked by Apple’s attorneys. Let's hope this business model spreads because I loving love it! Total amount I've spent on EGS = ZERO DOLLARS

I get why they're doing it, onboarding, which is what it's called for literally any model, be it best buy, steam, amazon, comcast, etc costs a gently caress of a lot of money that most companies lose money by roping you in as a customer, and don't break even on having you around until your 2nd or third year of subscription fees. this is why a lot of places will sell you a 50% off your first year but then never allow you to have such a huge discount on subsequent years because it's not profitable to sell you something at $80 a year for $40 a year instead, because it costs the company $60-70 just to sustain providing the service to you. I used to work for an online backup company, and this was primarily the reason.

Right, but with EGS, I've been "onboarded" into an ecosystem that operates as a free game subscription service and nothing else.

I get that, there's always going to be "freeloaders" but their hope is that by being on the platform you're more interested in purchasing on that platform.

They should have incorporated a shopping cart if they wanted people to buy things.

I was going to say that it's doubly weird because Amazon holds the patent for ordering without a shopping cart, but apparently that monstrosity expired in 2017. Anyway, Nubarron: The Adventure of an Unlucky Gnome is free-to-keep on Steam through the 9th! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jef0R57QMew

Epic Games Store will probably go the way of the dodo, Beos, and e-books before I get to actually playing any of the games. Then again, I'll haven't lost any money on it so  (I almost dismissed "I'll haven't lost" as completely wrong but it's just a contraction of "I'll not have lost" or "I'll have not lost" [equivalent] which seems to be fine? It still looks hosed up.)

but the uncontracted sentence "I will not have lost", not "I will have not lost" so "I'll not have lost" kinda works, "I won't have lost" works better, but "I'll haven't lost" sounds weird and wrong

Really all of your English rules about word order and tenses are shackles. Green great dragons will eventually win.

I've bought a couple games on epic that were cheaper than steam with epics coupons. But yeah mostly the free stuff. I figure I already have another (five) launcher(s) with games so I don't really care much where they come from anymore.

I know GOG and Humble and itch and possibly indiegala operate on a system where you can download copies of installers. Is there a similar way to grab the :files: for the handful of EGS or Steam or "other" games that are already on your account that you might want to get to later or move to devices without internet or the case of the store going away?

It depends on the game, if it's DRM-free and doesn't have a hard dependency on any Steam/EGS platform services then you can usually just copy the install directory elsewhere and run it standalone Otherwise you have to get into  territory with cracks and/or Steam emulators
