Supply and demand. He's supplying shitpost fuel for all the shitposters here because there's a demand for it.

Avoiding the point

what point, that you like pretending the fortnite launcher is relevant so you can have your little console war, now on PC? no, fuck off, and take that fat chink with you.

Except they didn't use the official provided way of accessing it as in the API, they went to the local file that while it was unencrypted they had no business touching it.

They bypassed everything meant to protect user privacy(minus the nonexistent encrypt, what the hell?). How is this defensible?

Winnie the Pooh Square Protests of 1989

> Except they didn't use the official provided way of accessing it as in the API
It doesnt really matter which method they used. Reading local files is more hacky, more simple and legitimate way to import info.
Their mistake is that they conduct preparations prematurely before user's command.

>accused
Tim even admitted it when he did damage control in the middle of the night and said they'll fix it.

API can't give the necessary info if user has set their profile private so there is a huge difference.

> API can't give the necessary info if user has set their profile private so there is a huge difference.
Yes. Like I said, its the simplest method, read data from local drive is way simpler than dealing with web apis.

And yet no one else does it.

>console war for pc

guys, I discovered something extremely horrible on youtube the other day. there are videos that are nothing more than just reddit posts. that's the video. screenshot after screenshot of reddit posts. there are hundreds, maybe thousands of videos like this. and. they. get. millions. of. views

What you said is not a valid argument.

Because they should not be doing that.

lol imagine being the kind of faggot loyal to an online store

If you have nothing to hide, share your social security number and your bank account information.

This. There's nothing stopping you from using other stores, but everyone can see that the Epic Store is shady as fuck and implements anti-consumer business model.

Why is it that porn is the only private thing you are supposedly "allowed" to have?

Yea, it slows down their epic store client.
Besides that I see no problems if they really dont send anything without my permission.

People hate to read anything, even things they actually like.

the inherent idea of a DRM store is anti-consumer
they exist to protect the publisher at your expense and nothing more

News relayers have been a thing since news was a thing, it's just easy for random joes to be the Town Crier nowadays.

> anti-consumer
Pirates are not consumers. DRMs are pro-consumer.

But the only thing DRM hurts is consumers.

How is it being an inconvenience to them our problem?
You don't see a problem someone coming to your house, copying your private papers but promising not to read them without your permission?

just like my Yea Forums's!

> DRM hurts
No. It only hurts pirates because they will receive new releases and especially new updates with bigger delays.
By drm I mean drm protectors like Denuvo or arxan. DRM itself (steam, epic) are useless for protecting anything.
> You don't see a problem someone coming to your house, copying your private papers but promising not to read them without your permission?
Inadequate analogy.
> our problem
Who said its our problem? Its not a problem at all. In fact I can have my steam account private but still be able to import it to epic store more conveniently with less movements.

As if pirates care about waiting some week or month at most.
While the consumer, who regularly paid for the product, is getting fucked big time with intrusive DRMs

No. Its just a shame I will never get to play Satisfactory because even if I pirated it, I would still have to install that fucking botnet.

How?

American norms and laws don't apply to the Chinese, just because you're obsessed with privacy and hiding behind online anonimity, doesn't mean that the rest of the world has to follow suit.

If you sell your product in America you sure as hell have to.

>doesn't mean that the rest of the world has to follow suit.
they would have had, if ICANN was still in the hands of the USA, and under it's constitution, but no, Obama had to "give it to the world" you know what, fuck the world a bunch of socialists that get hard on censorship is what they are

Imagine approving of DRM stores that only allow you to rent your games instead of demanding the right to own them.

>b-but steam does it too
GOG master race.

Who owns it is irrelevant. If it operates from America they follow American laws and if they sell to outside world they must abide to their laws.

Hey Epic shills, answer me this:

If steam needs to be broken up because it has a monopoly over the industry, then why does Epic not work on any other OS than windows? Is windows not a monopoly on the PC front?

>Is windows not a monopoly on the PC front?
Its not Windows fault that the only competition they have is FUCKING LINUX. What a fucking disaster that shit is.

Is that why steam, the evil monopoly holder, is trying to increase linux viability, while Epic will literally shut down and ban you from online games if it detects linux running?

This is why I also refuse to install discord, and i barely even use the browser version. Not to sound racist, but every time I've come across a chinese product, it usually had major problems.

Wait, does this mean Valve allows publishers unrestricted access to your steam account private data without screening ?
I mean Valve can disapprove all they want but why in hell were they given access to begin with.

At this point it's about the hypocrisy. All these claims of helping to promote competition, and yet they actively spit on any alternatives to windows. Meanwhile, even though valve hasn't been too good on the games front, their work with linux compatibility has been very stellar.

They didn't. It's just that it's stored in PLAIN TEXT in one file no one should be poking around.

Not defending Valves lack of insight and incompetence in the matter, though.

it couldnt be done any other way. if they put that info in some other format, epic would decode it like nothing. if you want encryption then you would need to store the key on valves servers, but then you would need the login info that was stored in said file. third option would be to ask for password every single time. epic fucked up, they should not touch it

This whole keeping shit in plain text oversight seems to happen awfully often.
I mean you can't bootleg someone's IP unless you have a team of dedicated autistic hackers breaking into whatever high profile DRM they've put on it, but somehow everyone just loses half the IQ once it comes to protect your personal data.
But I'm sure it's nothing.

There's also another option. Epic could have used Steam APIs

The only people who are defending it is discord trannies and now they have no where else to go, can't go back to Steam, can't go back to GOG (because nazis)

They could have. But you can't access private info if the user has set their profile to private. Not without user knowledge.

Sounds like a problem with china rather than the rest of the world.

If you're all for this honesty and transparency, why isn't epic/tencent releasing a full discolsure of all their future products, acquisitions, financial plans and management intentions. Why aren't they even honest about what their launcher contains before you have to make a refund? Sounds terribly one-sided to me.

It really does make me think. Does Fortnite on consoles steal data too? Is that even possible?

guess who else can fuck off

If anything this is legal only in America and China.

Okay, Mr. Marketer previously employed by EA :^)

Epic Store offers best cut for the developer's and ensure their financial stability. Steam doesn't offer anything, and Valve takes a bigger cut. Epic Store is also more friendly, and already listens to customers with their planned roadmap (Wishlists, Shopping Cart, and Gifting are coming soon!). Valve did not improve Steam in like a decade, and they are only sitting on their giant money cash stack.

It looses all appeal when you get paid for it

it was actually an opposite situation. monopoly back then was netscape. ms tried to enter the market with free browser. that would destroy netscape and make ms a monopoly. thats why they got fined and to this day they have to ship os without browser.
the same situation happened few years ago with google fiber. comcast/whatever is a dominant isp. google tried to enter market with their own, free isp solution. they got banned.
both ms and google got stopped because they tried dirty tricks to become a monopoly. and now, its 2019, epic tries every dirty trick they can to become a monopoly. i hope they get fined/banned at some point

Seriously if people want to prove that EGS is really spyware they should get a disassembler (there's plenty of them that are free), do a disassembly of the program and show exactly where it is behaving maliciously.

No, it just screams ironic shitposting. It's "in" to ironically defend Epic and shitpost about steam for (You)s now.

Epic Games Store is definetly the best solution for all developers and costumers in my humble opinion. If you are a developer, you get a bigger cut, and bigger spotlight on the store and potentially massive financial benefit upfront if you accept their exclusivity deal. If you are a customer you have a fantastic lightweight platform for games which have crossplay, and some of them cant be find anywhere else (exclusivity deals). There's also a fantastic roadmap by Epic Games that promises wishlists, gifting, mod support, automatic refunds, shopping cart and more by the end of the year. It's a win-win situation for both customers and developers alike, and it's finally the right way to attack Steam's monopoly.

YOOOOOOOOONG OUT

Exactly. Epic Games is doing nothing wrong.
In fact this is Valve's fault. If they weren't meanies, Epic could've gone to them directly instead of being forced to do this.

I dont understand why some of the people here think Epic Games is bad, when Steam is far fucking worse.

Steam has an API for exactly this reason Epic was more than welcome to use. They declined to do so because it was a security risk, according to Tim Sweeney. Presumably there was absolutely zero intended irony in his statement.

Then again, he still thinks Steam only carries Valve-made games, so who knows what the fuck he's talking about half the time.

Your comparison would only work if America banned oranges because Trump-kun's feelings were hurt.

If they never promised it would be day 1 on other stores, sure. But they did.

did you seriously just take up for that dumb fuck?

Didn't Valve quite specifically call the info that Epic was accessing "private user information" though?

Oh bother.

This is a good thread

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG IN

they serve the society as glue

Out of the loop here, why do people not like yongyea? Memeing or a legit reason?

he just admitted hes gay on his twitter so people dont like him

Mad they don't make easy money from reading others posts/articles.

All of his videos are just rage bait. He just browses reddit and makes videos about whatever they are pissed off about today.

True, but my point is defferent.
When I first have seen PP I wanted to play it because the game looked interesting with all that free aim and shit, I didn't care on which platform it will come out.

Yooka-Laylee and Mn9 didn't receive such backlash and refunds despite being shit. PP on the other hand is actually a good game (judging from backer build 3 that I pirated on torrents) but people get mad as hell and refunding.

That just means people value a platform way more than the game itself. This is how I understand it.

I don't know about THAT. But it's the first good one since the PSP released. I don't know who the fuck told Kojima all the Portable Ops/Peace Walker shit was fun. All that base management shit is the least enjoyable thing I've ever played.

90% of his videos is just reading random reddit comments that has no actual importance to the FOTW news he's talking about.

>inadequate analogy
Holy fuck, I weep for the species if this fuck can't understand how stupid what he just said is.

doesn't that just mean removing sjw's content value less than platform?

Psycho Pass is an anime where the government detects potential criminals by their brainwaves, blood pressure, body language etc.

>sjw's content
wut?

Yooka-Laylee and Mn9's biggest sins was just doing sjw things and being bad games.

PP offered backers specific platforms as their initial terms and went back on it like its a free loan and free beta testers.

He talks shit about their favorite game devs.

People wanted their keys on release, now they won't get them for a year. No shit people are refunding, and this sort of shit why crowdfunding gets a bad reputation.

>People wanted their keys on release
And they will get them on release but for EpicStore, afetr a year they will get free Steam or GOG key with all the dlcs

They didn't want Epic store keys, they wanted Steam/gog keys on release, and they were promised Steam/gog keys on release, which they are no longer getting on release. That and the head developer of the project bragging that even if everyone refunds Epic will still pay them enough to make up for it didn't really help calm people down at all, or when he claimed he was confident that they wouldn't have to refund even 6% of what they got crowdfunded.

Those sons of bitches are trying to look at what games you play and then pay to make them Epic Store exclusive.

There's no defense for clickbait OPs and e-celeb dickriding.

Probably not but maybe you should focus on the content, no?

At you gay?

No fuck you stop making this website worse by the day.

that would be chinks and their constant spam. if we dont do anything, they will take over. you dont want that

>I don't know who the fuck told Kojima all the Portable Ops/Peace Walker shit was fun.
I liked it. At least in Portable Ops. It felt kind of like Pokemon with each soldier having different stats and then being able to take them into multiplayer matches to fight against other peoples soldiers.

>that "private steam" info is open for everyone
Except it isn’t, my profile is private.

What the fuck are you talking about? Unless a game has Denuvo it's going to be cracked day one. At that point it's only paying customers who have to put up with the DRM

Making the whole site worse as a result. GOOD PLAN!

>Unless a game has Denuvo it's going to be cracked day one
Uh...

it wont be better if we dont do it. it will be just one sided spam

If 99% of games were released only on Windows and there was no way for people to play them on any other OS then yeah Windows would have a "monopoly" in the same way Steam had a "monopoly". In the sense that anything that would open the doors to more OS's being viable would be a good thing

>Unless a game has Denuvo it's going to be cracked day one.
user...

In Portable Ops it was a neat little feature to an otherwise fairly standard MGS experience(PSP's shit controls and hardware aside). PW just felt and played more like Monster Hunter and all the grinding was in service of nothing, just more grinding. Same with TPP. It's a shame PO never got a HD re-release, because man it needs it. Unlike PW which is only really ever enjoyable as a portable "I'll grind some shit while waiting for the buss" game.

Oh yeah I'm dumb and missed that part of the post
But now that I've read it properly that post is even more dumb. They literally admit that DRM does nothing to protect anything, so it only harms consumers. Why would you even defend that at that point?

lmao who lets these retards post

So Ebin is really selling data to the chinks since they need to iterate that only Sweeney has the stolen data.

I mean, it would be pretty odd for them to abandon their own store in favor of exclusivity for another one.

I think it points more to the fact that he made a 9:31 long video about a single tweet.

Wait, the GOG owners themselves making their AAA title a ES exclusive?

Defend what? 76 should not be compared to MGSurvive, because Survive's fun gameplay loop is not marred by shallow quests, nor a souless story.

Show me proof. No, those process monitor logs are not proof it reads those files
Good, if someone has the autism to disassemble it and catch epic red handed then fuck epic.

>>Show me proof. No, those process monitor logs are not proof it reads those files
yes this is a proof. not like it matters, ceo admitted himself that they are doing it

They admitted it read a single file, for non-malicious purposes. Everything else it does is merely verifying the existence of files on a machine

>There are people on this board that UNIRONICALLY dislike Epic Store
Imagine being one of these idiots...oh how i pity them...

they read it without consent, thats what spyware it. you dont need anything more

and who gave them permission to read those files?

Everything you do sitting before your computer is being cached, saved and backed up millions times locally and somewhere in internet. It's how it was designed to make things easier.

They probably got permission from the user when they accepted the EULA/privacy policy

You.

where exactly?

Keep looking at the clouds. I'm sure everything will be the same if you do that.

That they made AFTER the thing came public

Survive is terrible but it's not terrible for the reasons that most commonly get given.

The story was fucking awful though.

That's what you get for trusting chinks.

>reading comprehension
That means they are describing all information collected when you use their stuff, that doesn't limit the collected information to that from epic games software.
Not to mention section 3 also would fit the description of collecting data from steam.

It would only fit if steam was purposefully providing the data.

it doesnt? so they can read all my browser history? all my emails? copy paste my entire hdd? WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE? 100% spyware. you are so fucking retarded

>they are describing all information collected when you use their stuff
steam is not their stuff

LOOTBOXES

>that doesn't limit the collected information to that from epic games software
when you use word OUR it means it does limit it to their softaware. fucking retarded shill

dont they break valve's agreement? i think you need to ask valve before you start using their software. every user needs to agree to their license before they can use steam

hey chink shill, why dont you reply? if you wont ill post this in next thread.
EPIC STORE IS A SPYWARE
do you have anything to say about that statement?

Attached: 3855270001475.jpg (192x171, 26K)

Commies in this thread are in tears

This is basic competition - Epic want to beat Valve so they're taking data to provide the best service. If you want the government to protect muh data aka ruin competition then go ahead and get a time machine and get back to the soviet union.

maybe instead of making spyware they should make good store? oh no, that would be anti dev, everyone knows that devs > consumers. yeah good luck with that

If my steam profile is set to private should epic store be allowed access to it?
Did they use the epic launcher to probe my profile?

You aren't a journalist. no matter what you think, you are not a journalist.

reddit has thread simulators now?

This fucko is always so late to the party with his videos.
"Hey guys, Chingbong here with a video stretched out past 10 minutes explaining shit you already know."
Fuck this guy.

and the best thing about is that they never said they will remove the spyware LMAO you cant that trust that company

Epic games did nothing wrong, now, where are my social credits?

I wish I had a good speaking voice to become a youtube journalist. Look at that beanie guy, Tim Pool, who gets to go on Joe Rogan and Dave Rubin and all those cool shows and all he fucking does is read news articles on how Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is stupid and SJW cringe stuff. Or The Quartering, who has people give him welfare for telling them what to be mad at.

Valve Shill Cheatsheet:
>epic is run by chinks
(except sweeny is majority shareholder)
>epic store is spyware
(except they have no proof other than they look at public steam profile data and copy steam friends when prompted)
>steam deserves a 30% cut because its "industry standard"
only consoles and mobile where there is no other option is this true, big pc games either have their own launcher or get a better deal from steam
>gabe's dick is super tasty and they can't get it out of their mouths
yikes.

No mod support
No Linux support
No refunds
None of about 10 other features that the steam store offers
