Good luck convincing Epic to release their own software on their competitor's store.

would be good for the game.

It should be when epic let steam to sell the game on the platform.
but they can up the ante by coming up more new innovative mods.;]

Won't happen. PGI (the developers) have already stated that EPIC will not allow that. PGI could make their own mod tools and release them but they won't.

wow. so many debbie downers in this thread. You'd think that people who like the game and want it to succeed would be more helpful to getting the tools to everyone instead of leaving it locked on one store platform. Suggestion! Instead of writing comments here about how 'epic will never do it', maybe send letters to epic and ask them to release the tools? Couldn't hurt!

Just download it. it's free on epic. wow ... epic gives away more free games than steam, it has better creator splits, and better filters for the utter crap that gets put on steam store.
steam is just as evil as epic. get over it fan boy.

What is this illogical loyalty you have to a digital storefront? And stop throwing insults around or you will get reported.

The "debbie downers" are just simply answering your question with what the PGI devs themselves have said on the matter. The current MW5 editor is an altered version of the Unreal editor, which is both exclusive to EGS and will remain that way because Epic says so, and is overly bulky because of redownloading all the raw assets.

Now, PGI always COULD take the time to create a more streamline standalone editor along the lines of what Hat In Time did, which is an Unreal game that has an editor available on Steam, and we would all love if they did that, heck we want them to for better and broader modding ability. But they have plainly stated that is also a no go, they're not going to do it.

So don't mistake the reactions you get for not wanting the game to succeed, we want the game to do as well as it possibly can. The negativity comes from the fact that PGI themselves have already stonewalled the idea and confirmed their refusal on the matter.

With an Epic account and you get the added spy crap with it.

I'm pretty sure Valve will be harvesting and selling our data as well. Most big corporations will do anything to make a buck.

Well, let's be honest for a second. There is not much else one can do nowadays. Voting with your wallet is a delusion because one is vastly outnumbered to make a dent.

The only people I hear 'whining' are the people who seem to be unhappy that someone is even making a request to have it brought to more platforms.
