Reporting things as-is would eliminate the personality of the writer, which they obviously want to flaunt and beat you over the head with, so they attempt to make themselves more valuable by stretching it out as much as possible to fill a page.
Wasn't this also the case with the new Anno game? In that it's available on UPlay and exclusively on Epic store.
Now this is the kind of honesty I'm looking for. It sucks but just admitting you needed the money is completely understandable
This though, this is weird. It's a F2P game, they don't have an excuse not to release everywhere, especially if they're trying to push that "more people to experience Magic" bullshit line. Did they just hustle Epic for those exclusive bucks?
It is very weird. I haven't fired up MTGA in a while... now I wonder if the launcher will function if it doesn't detect Epic
That's a fair point, but how many of them actually care about MTG and how many just won't use the launcher directly from the site? I assume most people who care about MTG already got their fix. But like you said, free money

It gets even better. They didn't even have the percentages right in their shillpiece at first.DARQ's developer is currently getting attacked by rabid EGS fanboys, thanks in part to this Kotaku article.
'My Word Means Something': Indie Dev Elaborates On His Viral Decision To Reject Epic Store Exclusivity
In late July, Wlad Marhulets, the solo developer behind just-released horror game Darq, received the golden ticket: an email from Epic Games asking if he’d like Darq sold on their hugely popular online store....Ironic that Kotaku claims Epic Games is supposedly taboo to the point where developers are getting harassed and need an Epic Games Store safe space support center, yet has no problem trying to pull the same shit on another developer for just being honest. With a nice little bit of misinformation about the developer/Steam cut in a vapid attempt to make Steam look worse than it actually is acting as the sour cherry on top of this warm heaping shit cake.'My Word Means Something': Indie Dev Elaborates On His Viral Decision…

Journali$m at it$ fine$t! Hell, they even call the EGS a "golden ticket" that will cause shame for the Steam users who "sign a deal with the devil"! Like some autistic reverse psych method to try and replicate the outrage caused by EGS to go in the other direction, without actually changing any of the arguments.
And them saying Unfold Games somehow used the e-mails to "shame Epic Games for the TOXIC G A Y M U R points" is their best attempt at doing this!
I really shouldn't be shocked, but I've just never seen the shilling and comment worship so blatant for a company that's so horrendously structured; comparing EGS to heaven is by far the stupidest, and yet most hilarious, thing I've read all day.
Professional Journalism. It's sometimes hard to Google something, you know, and it takes like, at least a minute. Could be like, shopping online and playing mahjong instead.
a golden ticket if you're mike, augustus, veruca, or violet
If it's a golden ticket then Charlie was right, the golden ticket does make the chocolate taste awful.
Did no one learn to use slightly bigger fonts and double spaced lines to cheat in English class?
