Following the Metro Exodus/Epic Store deal, a 4A Games developer comments on the review-bombing protests and makes his opinion about Metro’s future on PC clear.
Recently, Metro Exodus developer 4A Games revealed that its latest installment in the horror and first-person shooter franchise would be exclusively available via the Epic Store. Many, including Steam users, thought this move to be unfair, especially with how “last minute” the decision was. While pre-orders via Steam are being honored, this latest installment won’t be offered on the medium any longer until 2020.
In protest of this exclusivity deal, many PC gamers began review-bombing the first two entries of the franchise, Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light. These protests have been respectful for the most part, calling the first two entries great games despite the low score, but they have also called out Deep Silver for being greedy, among other things. Due to these protests, it appears a Metro Exodus developer, publicly posting under the username Scynet, has made threats to skip PC in the future if protests continue.
Before moving forward, it’s worth mentioning that Scynet’s comments were translated from Russian into English and there could be some discrepancies as a result.
