World War Z studio head on Epic Store: "it's about being a disruptive change in the Industry"

From GameWatcher: "World War Z is out today, and it's an incredibly fun zombie co-op shooter - like an evolution of Valve's Left 4 Dead, except the game is not on Steam. There's a World War Z Epic exclusive deal, and we spoke to Saber Interactive CEO and co-founder Matthew Karch for his thoughts on the subject."

No, it's about seeing how steam makes money hand over fist and wanting a piece of the pie.

I cannot say that I blame him. Much of this would have been moot if Epic had actually fully developed their platform to at least be close to feature parity with Steam. Be interesting to see if any of this has any effect, or if Steam is still standing and Epic shuts down a year from now.

Too bad the game is selling like crap on PC because of this. It’s way too hard to find a lobby. Good job killing your own game.

EPIC store isn’t ready and the public knows it. When it has the same features as steam and a reason to use it other than paying for exclusive timed content, then I’ll use it no problem. Until then, no.

Steam had to start somewhere. Obviously it now has the features, but that took time. People use Origin/Battle.net/UPlay and they all lack features too, so Epic Store will be fine.

when things become standardized that "starting point" your referring to goes away and companies are expected to already have up to date standard features. That would be like buying a car that doesnt come with air bags or seatbelts and you ask "where are my airbags and seatbelt " and the company says "Oh sorry we dont have those yet give us a few years , we are just starting out".

World War Z review - ChristCenteredGamer

CCG writes - "The game takes inspiration from both the 2006 novel and the 2013 movie but isn’t heavily based on either property. It starts off rather simple with not even an intro cinematic. It throws you right into the menu where you can select between the campaign, multiplayer, gallery collection, and settings. WWZ 2019 is fairly light on the story and most of the lore can be outright ignored. The experience focuses greatly on the gameplay as it expects you to jump right in."
