I was pretty annoyed when I found out it was an Epic exclusive but atleast I have an alternative.

But is it Xbox Game Pass only, or the PC game pass as well?

I have PC Game Pass until the 9th and I was sure I saw it listed. This says it will be too.

Hey right on, found Divinity: OS 2 for 40% off on GOG.

Pillars of Eternity is basically the only single player RPG I've played since the Baldurs Gate days.

You bet. MS purchased Obsidian. Also, Blazing Chrome has been out on Gamepass as well. Honestly, it’s such a great deal.

Oh you're in for a treat. D:OS2 is such a great game. I am super pumped that Larian will be the ones doing Baldur's Gate 3

Nice! Glad I waited and it's nice to see Rockstar making the game available for all storefronts. That's how you do it.

November 5 for Rockstar's and Epic's launchers. December for Steam. I waited long enough for this to come to PC so I'll gladly wait another month.

November 5th on Rockstar's launcher. Steam in December.

Unless they release single player DLC which doesn't sound likely I'll wait for a deep discount since I've already played it.

This may be a dumb question, but any reason to pick one launcher over another? I assume they'd all have the same version of the game?

In most cases I would say it's entirely user preference. I have zero qualms with using various launchers but I have a strict zero buy policy when it comes to the Epic store. I don't like the way they're doing business and I refuse to support a company that is trying to create a walled-off garden in the PC space.

Exactly my thoughts. When Epic Store came out I was fine with buying from them if they had better deals than Steam. But then they started doing exclusive deals with Tim Sweeney trying to excuse it by saying he was doing it for the game industry which is a load of crap. They'll never see a penny from me and the only reason I use Epic Launcher is because I use UE4 for my 3D work.

Would Rockstar's launcher lock out the modding community? That would be my only concern.

I'm not too up to date on how it all works, but I modded my rockstar version of GTA 5 single player. I never attempted to go online with the mods

Not very deep into DS 2 yet, but wow, just wow.

This has such as a classic feel to it with an updated combat system. I can definitely feel the Ultima 7 influence, which also just happens to me one of my favourite games of all time.
