(Console exclusive means it’s coming to Switch + PC, but not on other consoles on release)

      I suspect that Nintendo is offering them more than enough money for exclusivity to make it no longer ‘questionable’ for Supergiant, at least from a financial perspective.

        I’d imagine the Hades IP makes good money on Steam. It must be a guap unless I am dead wrong.

            Ah, yeah I didnt gleam that from reading the word console a million times in the article. Thank you. It makes sense now. Nintendo money + Steam sales.

        The only thing I know about Hades is its on Steam and every character it shows is chiseled as hell.

          Every character in the first game is hot. Every character in the second game is also hot.

          Then there’s Dionysus.

    I’m sure they’re getting a ton of cash from Nintendo.

    I’ll stick to the steam deck and recommend it to anyone who asks.

    Great, but I’ll keep playing it on my steamdeck. With your console exclusivity.

        When I got my deck, my instant library of things to play due to old Humble Bundle purchases was staggering.

        My backlog would take several lifetimes to complete, and I still by new games because “sale!”

        I need to DL all of them before society collapses and there’s no access…

    Considering that 99% of other “portable consoles” on the market are actually handhelds pc, which can download it fron Steam… No. It won’t be.

      In this case, it counts as a PC, but given that you have to ask the question, I think that speaks volumes.

        The line in bluring, but the Deck can run Windows if you want, it’s a PC stuffed into a controller (and that’s not a dig at it, either)

      We already know it’s going to be on Switch 2 and Xbox, including Game Pass day 1. It’s not going to be exclusive, but at the very least, Microsoft paid handsomely for it.

          Microsoft is bringing their own games to PlayStation at this point. It’s possible it’s kept off PlayStation, but I doubt it. Team Cherry knows what their game is worth, and that would be a massive buyout.
