[VG 247] A Total War Saga: Troy will be an Epic Games Store exclusive for one year, free for the first 24 hours https://bit.ly/3gVaQnD
the total war series is one of my all time favourites the saga sub series is less popular as its more of a expansion to other total war series games with much smaller theatres of conflict. to hear it bashed for being released free for 24 hrs is a bit odd. I imagine epic are compensating them appropriately for each free game, its something worth a discussion as i assume they dont pay full price for each redeemed as there will be 1,000s that claim it and never play it. does anybody know what the details are in terms of compensation to the devs for a free release on epic?
Not too suprised about Stadia. Corperate CEOs acting like they know what consumers want. Good idea but handled by people out of touch with real people. Nobody asked for this. Crossplay should be the theme of next gen. And all this corperate hype for game streaming is destructive to thevery real cries from us that we want crossplay before anything else.
