Last week, the author of the Metro novels and the screenwriter of the eponymous series of games Dmitry Glukhovsky negatively reacted to transfer Metro: Exodus From Steam to Epic Games Store. Then he posted on his Instargam page the image of the Aurora train, hinting at the description and commentary under the picture that he, like gamers, is dissatisfied with the current situation. Today the writer published an appeal on this subject.
Glukhovsky recorded two versions of circulation – in English and Russian. In them, he mentioned the disappointed players who were waiting for the shooter’s release in Steam, and asked them for forgiveness. The author also recalled that the publisher made the decision on the transfer Deep Silver Together with Koch Media. These companies financed the development, so the developers had no choice. The writer summed up the video with the following words: "I just ask not to betray us in the same way as we have not betrayed you all these years".
Before the exit Metro: Exodus It remains only a week and a half – the game will appear on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One February 15. In our news feed you will find a bunch of materials about the game – many videos, notes and system requirements.

The best comments
Well done Glukhovskaya, does not score on his creation. And in general, I agree with him-the developers are not to blame for the dubious decisions of the publisher.
Valve apologized, the developers apologized, Glukhovsky apologized, and where is the apology from those because of whom all this garbage happened? Where is the apology from Deep Silver and Koch Media? I believe that now they are engaged in the terms of the money that they poured Epica for exclusivity and they do not have time to be distracted by some apologies.
Yes, yes, yes … of course they will go. EA has been saved on the development of the series for 8 years for 8 years now on the development of the series … and Todd “buy” Howard will all earnings with F76 will put on future projects. After all, people who change their minds on the fly and choose the convenience of players to a banal bag laid in your pocket, you can believe.
I wonder how it would Rhinocasino.uk look.
"Sorry to agree to a profitable contract, and chose the money and not the Steam database.".
And the precedent was larger than you could imagine. The year has just begun, and we already have the first candidate in the section “What the hell of the year?"
Well, I personally will not betray anyone, I will turn on the zhdun regime. Maybe the video card can just be updated by 2020m 😀
I quote myself:
Epicians brought loot, covered losses (perhaps they are already in a plus), dough on prejudices in the stimen and raised on the consoles. Everything, now you can create any garbage, for the people who want to play in Steam will not make money, and those who have not had time, but really want only wretched epic stroke or torrent. They received their outfits, money already in their pocket, and users like me, who do not want to go into the trash from the epic – threw and put on the shoulder blades with their face on the floor and, in fact, limiting the actions depending on the situation:
1. Unscrew to buy in Steam? Buy in Epic Stor.
2. Managed to buy in Steam? You will not make a refund, the time is over, and the desire to play beckoning *The evil laughter of the freaks from DIP Silver *.
3. Torrent. Yes, it’s rude. Steam gave me the joy of licensed games, limited me from torrent only downloading films, music (let the pirate, but the topic is not about it) and games that disappeared from the radar ..
And those who did not have time to wait a whole year. Just some year there is a year of release and middle finger on the full screen in the Steam store to all those who did not have time to pre-order or waited for the game to read out the reviews.
However, nothing new. Classic. The publisher is seeking the benefits of onley for himself, and he wanted to put on the reputation of developers, players, fans.
I am also sure: the windows in 2015 saved on the Watman PC port so that then I had to redo it, also to invest in future games.
I sincerely hope that the developers were on salaries and will not suffer much from low sales.
The next repetition of the game industry lesson is "if there is an opportunity do not contact the publishers".
No, here’s the matter in another. I respect the Epicians for the support of Fordnight and UE (believe me, I use it myself, but not for games) and I play Fortnight myself. I do not respect them for the actions that they perform beyond their game. Of course, there is logic in their actions – they want money, luring the stupid and greedy publishers in their Magaz. But at the same time, they destroy the users of Steam Platforms – this is, I think, badly. I want to see the 2nd divine on my shelf Skim (dick there), I wanted to pre-order the metro, but now I have to wait a year.
There is a second problem: Epicians can follow the path of Valv (only they are not Valv to earn the same recognition) and stop developing the window concentrating on the skin and battles passes, simultaneously lazily copy the Steam chips, crush the PC of users even more. Yes, Valv does as well, but at least she has reasons for this. They gathered gamers into a single whole, released a couple of roofing projects and raised an indie gaming from the knees. Epicians simply lazily copy Steam. Lazily. Copy. Steam.
More financial shops more than you need. And their main plus is that the price is lower there. And some like Humble Bundle allow various charitable organizations. Therefore, it is completely not clear why I should run the game through a store that I can’t even offer Achivka.
Well, plus, the attitude of Epic Games to the players is extremely disgusting
I was rightly convicted of Fakenyus. I admit, I misunderstood the news of the transfer. But still this is a setup from the publisher.
The only problem is that they are now approximately similar to the stimulus at the beginning of their path. But when there was Steam and when egs appeared.
Why they started like this, it is clear that the buyer would come to the store there should be goods, and not fucked-up chats, achitsa and blogs.
And yes, and no. No one needs the second without the first, but the first one without the second also does not need.
I was talking about his performance? I said that I can stick it and score a bolt to its development. Just like making epics.
Steam is relatively good, the best among large -scale, not personal shops of publishers like Batelnet. But with the fact that Gaben Fat is stupid to argue))
It just seems strange to me why those people apologize to whom nothing depended in this story?
Their hypothetical future project and the further fate of the studio may suffer from low sales.
I did not really follow this movement, but what is so bad epicstore that because of it everyone was so amazed to bike the metro?
