I don't even know if I want to get this game anymore. Epic ruining my enthusiasm. I haven't even played Shenmue 3 yet (original backer that switched to the ps4 version).
Yeah, not picking this up for two reasons: 1. I disagreed with the Epic deal and I'm not fond that their next game is even likely to be perma exclusive. 2. I think it's scummy to make people wait a year for it on Steam, then bring out an "ultimate edition" and jack up the price, leaving the Ult edition as the only option.

The upgrades won't actually be free, unless you've bought the Ult edition on current gen systems, meaning you'll have to buy the game twice to get that upgrade, which isn't a great deal at all. ACG posted a video about it recently, and it's a scummy practice.
What they should have done is make the ult edition as the free upgrade for next gen systems, and release the Ult edition on Steam at a 50% discount, at the very least.
