Coming to Steam/PC in the near future.

Awesome. I’d been hoping it would come to steam.
PS4 version was succeeded and we got the profit as we expected. But it was not huge success like as jack-pot. However, we are not satisfied with this result, we will continue to improve the game for further success.
While the sales of the PS4 version weren’t the best, it was thanks to everyone’s support that we were able to release two additional characters at no extra charge. We truly thank you.
As we promised in our original plan, we would like to begin working on a Steam version. However, since we do not have a Season Pass or DLC, we do not have enough Development Funds. Therefore, we are facing a dilemma where we cannot work on the Steam version and the newest Update at the same time. In addition, we are also developing the Arcade version right now.
So, after taking everything into consideration, we decided to prioritize working on the Steam version. The main reason is that the arcade board used by Taito runs the same OS as Steam.
However, the other day Nishitani-san said that he wished to change some of the Gougi decks, which if we decide to do, would lead to the Arcade and Steam versions being 1.1.1 while the PS4 version remains 1.1.0, which means there would be a difference between platforms.
We fully understand that this would not make the PS4 users happy. So, we decided to push ourselves are update the PS4 version to 1.1.1 as well.
Right now, the Development Team is putting everything they have into releasing the same version over 3 different platforms. There may end up being some slight differences between the versions, but we ask for your understanding.
Also, please understand that the reality that the development of any potential updates or new content is based on the sales of these upcoming versions.
When the release day is decided, we will make a formal announcement.
One last thing that we would like to ask for your understanding on. We will be providing a small number of Steam Beta Keys to help with promotion and testing of the network. We will take full responsibility for these actions. There may also be cases where we have people playing in official exhibitions before the game is released to the public. We humbly ask for your understanding.

We are terribly sorry, but this impossible with our company’s assets. We do not have the funding to prepare an Entry Server, Matching Server, and Relay Server around the entire world. It’s impossible to do without having a game that’s a huge hit worldwide as well as plenty of DLC items to cover the funds. We apologize for our lack of ability.

I’m buying the Steam version, no doubt.
Also these guys seem to genuinely care about the game, and are explaining their business decisions well. Wish more companies acted like this.

according to the first few user ratings and comments in the steam forums the netcode is trash. anyone here that can share his experiences with the game?
well, i guess we have to wait and see how that patch which is supposed to come out will turn out.
Game is a steal on steam. Game goes for as much as the “Light Version” on PS4, meaning you’re already paying less for everything. And that’s before this launch sale.

I think I’m going to have to cop while the sale is still on. Price is great and it seems like a great game/development team to get behind.
I’m completely unfamiliar with the EX series so looks like I’ll have some learning to do!
