First, they announced a slate of upcoming titles set to release this Spring and among those releases was my long-awaited Samurai Shodown. A one-two punch that has left me staggered, punch-drunk and demoralized. After maintaining radio silence for quite some time, the Epic Games Store came back with a major assault on consumer advocates everywhere. Those cruel jokes where the laughs are had at the expense of the fans.Īs I’m about to recap the various PC port-related announcements and events that took place since my last article at the start of December, I feel that it’s best to tear off the bandage. You know, when companies announce something that people actually want, but surprise! It was just a clever ruse.
But even in its cruel inception, it never matched the kind of April Fools’ joke I absolutely despise. Funny how this originally started out as a far more malicious idea – poking fun at console gamers who feel that a game losing its exclusivity status makes it inherently worthless. That’s the major reason why I’ve kept this one up for five years: there are games currently exclusive to PC that I enjoy, and I’d like them to be shared with a wider audience. I always kind of liked April Fools’ day when the person making the joke and any and all potential saps can enjoy it on the same level. Another April Fools’ Day rolls around and it’s time for another PC-to-console ports wishlist.
