![]() ![]() But if Pinball Royale is (conceivably) multiplayer and if, like other Royale games, it requires enough players playing at the same time to be a usable feature then they are undercutting their own product by keeping it restricted to one platform. Epic charges less to the publisher so Zen has made a conscious decision to go with selling to a smaller user base at a greater profit rather than targeting the largest possible user base. End edit.īut personal PC store front preferences aside, this move doesn't really make sense for the product either. I understand the move more from Zen’s perspective for the engine but still hate the move as a consumer. Zen is OK paying Sony and Microsoft their "cut" to get on those platforms, but Steam is too restrictive? I could turn this into an economics of games publishing discussion from my former job experience but I can safely say that Steam is not charging anything outrageously more for their platform and Epic is just undercutting them with an inferior product.Įdit: Unreal Engine probably adds some pressure from Epic to put it on store or some additional incentives. Happy to take all their free giveaways but wont give them a credit card.ĭon't you love that we get both an Xbox and a PS5 version without platform exclusivity but PC, the most open platform, has the least amount of purchase options?

None of your FX3 table purchases will carry over to the new Pinball FX on any platform.Įxclusive to EPIC store for one year. It really has come a long way (at least on PC), from its unpolished, humble beginning.Īnd, I still have all the tables on Pinball Arcade, which I still enjoy playing (despite that game lacking some of the "flash" and pretty menus found on Pinball Fx), so I own plenty of digital pinball content to keep me busy. ![]() More and more, I find myself enjoying the time I spend playing Zaccaria Pinball (ever since I started using a 144hz monitor, I love the way the game plays at higher frame rates, it mostly feels like "real" pinball).Īnd besides the original tables, the Remake and Deluxe tables they've been releasing have been quite fun. I'm in my 40's, my time is limited, and I honestly don't feel the need to rush to support crappy companies, and jumping through hoops just to play the latest shiny new thing.
