Metro Exodus | Ditches Steam and Tells the Fans to Suck it Up
588Metro Exodus has been heavily promoted on Steam for many months, then 2 weeks before launch, the publisher Deep Silver pulls the game for an exclusive distribution deal with Epic Games Launcher. Needless to say, the internet has gone wild.
Curiously, the physical copies including the pre-orders will be shipping with Epic Games codes in the box, leading some people to assume that Deep Silver may have had this deal in the bag for some time now. Many Steam users who didnt pre-order before the deadline are somewhat upset about being forced to use "that trashy Fortnite launcher". Something they never signed up for. The plot thickens.
Special thanks to Jason T Barnes, Mario J. Martinez, Dean McGee, Steve, Alcoholistair, and all of my Patreon supporters. Their stoic support humbles me.
