only took the lazy bastards 3 fucking years

Not lazy, greedy. The epic exclusivity just expired.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Since when is the exclusivity 3 years???

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it depends on the game/publisher/contract/... ? Eurogamer says:

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 coming to Steam after three years Epic exclusivity

But maybe it was a de facto exclusivity and not a contractually-enforced one?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, exclusivity in this context could mean either. Why must some languages be so fuzzy.

Which lazy bastards?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Timed exclusives suck. Thank goodness Valve don’t attempt that nonsense. I’d love to see Epic sales figures on how popular TH1+2 actually was and whether the exclusivity was worth it.

But does it have the original music?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's barely the same game without the music, so I sure hope it does.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It should, I have it on PS4 and it does, with some additional tracks as well.

So here I am, doing everything I can

Aren't the servers no longer working?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, but Activision claims they are still up. And since their server status page says it's up they won't do anything about it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Took them long enough. I might pick this up on sale. Provided it works on Steam Deck though

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Dear Activision,

Fix your servers you fucks
