Yeah, silencer, there are plenty of dissatisfied backers and they have certainly been vocal. angry-mob.gif

 

Here's an excerpt from an article at Eurogamer where Julian addresses the subject:

 

Gollop apologised to upset backers.

 

"For those backers who are upset by our switch of delivery platform, we are truly sorry," he said.

 

"It was not our intention to scam anyone. The best we can do is offer compensation in the form of free extra content, which we will deliver throughout the launch year. This will include at least three major DLC packs. They will also receive a Steam key or GOG key, in addition to their Epic key, at the end of the exclusivity period. If they are not happy with this, we will give a full refund."

It's at least a modicum of compensation. Beyond that, let's face it, money talks and Epic is doing what it needs to do to make its store increasingly appealing to both developers and potential customers.

Right now only appealing to developers. There is too much stuff going against Epic Store from customer perspective. I also seen people defending EGS with (Steam was like this at the start). But Steam did not have illegal practices. The best example how to enter market in this age showed GoG. Doesn't create exclusivity (except maybe for old games), there are no issues with hacked accounts or sniffing private data.

Thankfully Epic Launcher will not be required for Pheonix Point, and this only keeps me from not refunding.

I should probably mention that if you backed Phoenix Point in the past that they just sent out an email the other day asking you to fill out a form to make sure you get what you are supposed to.

 

It's time to get your rewards ready.

 

Thank you for being a Phoenix Point backer. We can't tell you how much your support means to us, and how excited we are to bring you the game later this year.

 

You've got some backer rewards coming to you, and we need some information to complete your order. We will hold any information you send us in strict confidence and will not share it with anyone for anything not related to completing your order and getting you your stuff.

 

Please fill out your informational form by using the below link:

 

Two Important Points:

  • It is critical that we have your completed form no later than November 4, 2019 so that we can process your order on time.
  • Do not share the above URL with anyone. It is personalized to you. Both for security reasons and to ensure you receive the proper rewards, you are the only one who should use it.

Thanks again for your support. We'll see you on the Geoscape!

When the game comes out look for my name (Zombie) in the credits. Should be fairly easy to spot. :)
