I played Planet Coaster for the first time on Game Pass on the Xbox platform. Planet Coaster 2 has launched, and I want to buy it. Planet Coaster 2 is for sale on Xbox console, Playstation, Steam, Epic Games Store, and nowhere else. I played Planet Coaster 1 on PC, through the Xbox app. I earned achievements. Planet Coaster 2 is not for sale on the Xbox store on PC, it does not have achievements, and in order to play it you have to buy a console or use Steam or Epic Games Store, on a completely different platform!
I can not buy Planet Coaster 2 on the platform where I build my game library, and where I hunt my game achievements. I don't need Planet Coaster on Game Pass. I don't need Xbox Play Anywhere support, I literally just want to be able to pay the developers money to play their game on the gaming platform where I play videogames. A lot of gamers use Steam for that, but deliberately not selling Planet Coaster on a previously supported platform is just ensuring you don't have as many sales. It guarantees you lose customers. I want to buy your game based on my sincere enjoyment of the last one, and I can't. I am expressing this to you on your own forums; imagine how many potential customers feel the same way and literally can't be bothered to reach out to you, or tell you that they want to play and buy Planet Coaster and you are not enabling them to play your game without sacrifices.
It's such a shame. Please, Frontier developers, bring your game to more platforms. I don't buy my game library across platforms, I focus my investment on one platform, and so do millions of other people. The more platforms you sell your game on, the more sales you will make. The effort to sell and "support" other sales platforms is inconsequential compared to the money you will make, especially when you don't have to optimize the game for particular hardware. Especially when you supported that platform with your prequal!
The day the Frontier devs sell Planet Coaster 2 outside of console stores, Steam and Epic Games Store is the day I buy finally your game. I can't be the only one.
