Not a fan of that Epic Games Store (semi) exclusivity deal.

Offering a DRM-free version in addition to the Epic Store one is nice and all, but having it on Steam (on which games don't have to use any DRM either should the studio choose not to) would be much easier especially because of cloud saves and the Steam Deck.

It's a skip for me (for now). Still an enjoyable game I'd guess if you don't care about Steam.

I don't care about Steam, but I'd appreciate a GoG release for convenience.

Steam

I see how you are casually ignoring Microsoft Store.

Sir this is a Linux community

I didn't see any mention of the Microsoft Store on their website?

Nintendo Switch - on the Nintendo eShop Epic Games Store - for Win / Mac WorldOfGoo2.com - right here, for Win / Mac / Linux, DRM-free

Or are you saying it should also be available on the Microsoft Store? That wouldn't help my mentioned use case (easy install on Steam Deck and cloud sync between Deck and desktop PC).

EDIT: Also, none of my computers run Windows anymore, so yeah, I couldn't care less about the Microsoft Store.

I was trying to make a dumb joke, because I'm disappointed that they didn't release it for Android.

Yeah, I perfectly understand why. World of Goo 1 was one of the best Android games, but the sales numbers were non-existent.
