Som du nok ved i forvejen afslørede Deep Silver et samarbejde med Epic for nylig, som betyder at Metro Exodus eksklusivt bliver tilgængeligt på Epic Games Store, og ikke på Steam. Dette har skabt røre blandt fans, og mange har udtrykt utilfredshed med beslutningen.
Dette har tydeligvis påvirket forfatteren bag Metro-bøgerne, Dmitry Glukhovsky, for han har nu udgivet en officiel undskyldning til seriens mange fans via Facebook . Du kan se videoen via linket, men vi har indsat citater herunder.
"More than 20 years I've been working to bring the story [...] to different media, including the video games thanks to the support, help, and heroic efforts from the part of 4A. The efforts were truly outstanding, and so is the outcome of their efforts, the new Metro Exodus game coming out in just a week from now."
"I'm very sorry about those of you who wanted it and expected it to release on Steam and who were misled by the move by the publisher. I understand that the publisher fully and uniquely financed the developer of these games, so I trust them for the correctness of this solution."
"Again, we're all very sorry that you're hurt. We just hope that you will not betray us, just as we're staying always faithful to you, bringing the uncompromised story and uncompromised quality of experience."
Både 4A Games og Glukhovsky har taget afstand fra beslutningen, men Deep Silver og Epic mener hårdnakket at dette er for at fremme konkurrence på et marked ellers domineret af Valve.
