Seriously...
Fuck Epic Games Store.
Fuck Deep Silver.
Fuck Ys Net.
Fuck Shenmue III.
Fuck crowd-sourcing/crowd-funding/whatever the hell you want to call it.
Fuck video game exclusives, timed or otherwise, especially to worse-than-useless store clients I will never use.
Fuck potentially good games being ruined, at least for me, for shitty, stupid, tangential-to-the-game-itself reasons.
Fuck the modern video game industry.
Fuck disingenuous, dishonest, nigh-fraudulent (if not, perhaps, actually fraudulent), money-grubbing, hubristic shitheads.
This isn't the first time that I've decided to forego buying and playing a game that I had been extremely hyped about playing, at least prior to the surge of superfluous, extraneous dumbshit related to said game, and... well, I was about to say "and it probably won't be the last, either," but, no, I think at this point it probably will be the last, because I very seriously doubt that I will ever become even remotely as enthusiastic about any given new video game in the same way that I once was with Diablo III and Mass Effect 3 and Shenmue III, before those games went to shit for asinine reasons mostly unrelated to the actual games themselves...
...and that's actually kind of sad and depressing to contemplate, honestly.
(For reference, even though it should be, you know, right there below this post... at least if you're viewing this post on my main page anyway. If not, then, well, there's the link. >_>;)

no subject
All the BS going on soured me on the entire franchise to the point where I have the remakes for 1 and 2 on the PS4 and I can't be arsed to play them.
And to think most of this BS could have been avoided if Epic didn't explicitly and deliberately go after games already headed for Steam publicly for their exclusives.
btw, go to kotaku and read a few random Epic related stories if you haven't over the last year or so or whenever Epic started this whole shit. The pro-Epic fanboyism is almost 'epic' in it's sadness.
