Usually by the time they’ve made it off EGS, I’ve forgotten they exist. There’s been many sequels to games I loved that I forgot existed because of this.

Same, after a few years you see them show up on steam and all the reviews are

  • “All my lobbies are empty”
  • “It takes 30+ mins to get into a game with 2 other players”
  • “I’m only getting matched against bots”

Or the EGS phase was just glorified beta access like Hades.
