Oh no no no no no no

Both the windows store and the epic store are worse than steam. For the dozens of reasons that are constantly posted but you bugmen seem to ignore.

Notice how none of the people posting before you has said anything of that sort and youre just hugely projecting.

RIP shitposter, you will be forgotten

Tiresome. Is it the consolefags simulating consolewars on pc?
I've pirated games from every storefront btw.

>It's not competition unless it's on Steam!
Oh yeah, fuck my boipussy, Gaben! Harder!

i am not the one that hates competition

Sweet, I love it when the publishers just go a heat and ask me to pirate their games.

Game looks like dogshit, who cares

>Windows store
Well, that's not so bad. You can get it on PC and share it with a friend that has a Xbox

We know. You don't care about competition period. The only thing that matters to you fanboys is whether or not you can support your corporate overlords at Valve.

your irrational hatred of Valve and GoG, and Uplay and Origin doesn't have anything to do with this, Obsidian are snakes, this will be a day 1 pirate

same shit for me, was going to pirate anyways its the good old 90s as long the regional pricing of epic is shit will pirate every game i find intersting of their store

looks like I won't be played TOW
oh well, saved myself some money at least

Because all this exclusivity bullshit started with epic, no way developers would rely on windows store alone to sell a good amount

Then you missed last years E3. Microsoft bought Obsidian Entertainment.

B-b-but i though obsidian were the good guys

all bloatware launchers are anti-consumer trash. the tencent store is no exception.

Outer worlds was in dev before the MS purchase and is being published by another company . MS doesn't own the IP

No it isn't, even RE7 has the Play Anywhere™ thing

Oh, I'm thinking I'm back, back to pirating pc games.

Whatever you say, kid.

What makes Epic Store so attractive for publishers?

>Competitive pricing? No DRM? Nah, just horde new releases as exclusives, that's REAL competition.
Fortnite really gave Epic a God complex

Bribes

They give them cash no matter how bad the game sells. If fortnite bucks run out so will all these cunts running to their store for handouts.

Literal bribes
Fortnite isn't even a good game. Like when I played it I was actively angry at how bad the game is.

>SEETHING Piratefags that were never gonna buy Outer Worlds in the first place think pirating the game is some sort of thread
Nobody gives a fuck what you do. Announcing a piracy is as retarded as bitching about pirates.

Epic literally throws millions at devs to make the games timed Epic exclusives,look at Phoenix Point
Devs aren't switching because of the quality of the Epic store

The large amounts of cash that they give them to not put the game on Steam

Pirated.
They're paying to keep it off steam. Fucked up.

>Take Two
>Rockstar's parent company
Uh oh.

You're probably right, they all did look like tumblrinas

>I was actively angry at how bad the game is.
Or you are just bad at it. Git gud grandpa.

Bribery, literally.

They offer less than the 30%, throw money at devs to get timed exclusives and even more:
>better deals for developers that use Epics own engine the Unreal Engine
So expect a lot of UE games to be Epic store timed exclusives.

Why would pirates be angry if they never planned to purchase the game in the first place, you stupid cunt?

>Because all this exclusivity bullshit started with epic,
How fucking new are you? Storefront exclusivity predated the epic store by years.

Epic puts the cost on the consumer too so expect their store to fall apart in the near future.

Everyone have that shit WS. But im sure as hell won't install and buy my digital games on yet another platfrom.

Windows Store isn't directly paying developers to release games on their own platform.

Because they just want a reason to brag about something as trivial and meaningless as pirating a video game

Even if their game flops, Epic apparently has enough money to cover the costs.

>without f***nite, epic is just an e-store now

they're dying and it's about time

This epic games thing is really exposing valve drones as the biggest pussies in gaming
Just one tiny bit of serious competition and they go full retard

based, day first pirate
wubba dub dub

Hi chink.

In all honesty I'm glad this and Phoenix Point will be timed exclusives, because both will obviously be riddled with bugs in their early days. I can just pirate them and get them from GOG a year later in a playable state.

>all bloatware launchers are anti-consumer trash...except the social network spyware known as Steam!
Well said, brother! Praise Gayben!

looks like I'll be pirating then, fuck tencent

I have no issue with games only coming to Epic and not Steam. It's only the paid exclusivity I have a problem with. Worse than even console exclusives.

Then name 5 games but they can't be made by the same company that owns the store, like Blizzard and their blizzgames

Anything trying to push Store """Exclusives""" is a never-buy for me.
If I want to play it (doubt it since Obsidian went to absolute shit and Cain's design talks at GDC were offputting as all hell) i'll pirate.

Attached: mfw.png (692x677, 538K)

Why?

>its not exclusive if its on 2 stores
>its not pirated if a make a copy
Pirates were right

Didn't the Phoenix Point devs say that even if every single backer refunded in response, they would still come out ahead?
Epic must be tossing some huge dough around. I assume they're taking deliberate losses to invest in the future in the form of building a consumerbase.

Time exclusives are cancer.
Just like o'l Xbox did and still got/getting beat overall.
Steam isn't hurting at all. Steam + PS4 + Switch will continue to truck on :)

Bribes

Can't you just go out and buy it?

>Obsidian is owned my Microsoft and their games are now Epic store exclusives
>InExile is owned my MC as well
>Wasteland 3, the only ame I'm currently looking forward to, will end up being an epic store exclusive as well
Welp. Guess it's time to quit vidya for good.

Guess I'll buy it on a Steam sale for 60% off in a year or two. Gives me some time to work on my backlog.

>but they can't be made by the same company that owns the store, like Blizzard and their blizzgames

Why?

Pcbros won't be missed

Children spend their parents' money on Fortnite.
Epic uses that money to subsidize your nerd games like Outer Worlds

Like expected the poorfag devs are the first to fall for epic bribes.

I agree, valvecucks also never said anything about WoW and other blizzard games being battle.net exclusives but they start suddenly jumping on epic

Removing or limiting consumer choice is a bad thing. Console exclusives at least have the excuse of "this game wouldn't exist if not for the money the console paid them!" such as with Bayonetta 2 and Halo. These games have no such excuse. Every game we've seen that Epic has moneyhatted has already been completed, so their payment has resulted in no tangible benefit to the consumer and in at least two cases, have actively harmed the consumer.

Where the fuck is GoG mutherfucker?

So they're like Zynga was before the Farmville fad died.

>wow is a third party game on battle net
no, the same company that makes wow is responsible for battle net.

GOG's great too, and I unironically like Uplay as a store. Its only issues are related to network stability in games but as a steam alternative I have no issues with it.

Day one pirate.
What are you sorry for. They chose this for themselves.

>Know it is going to be a socjus game because that is what Obsidian has turned into the creators of and not the rose tinted New Vegas developers everyone still thinks they are
>Can't complain about it now because then everyone will just think you're mad it is on some other online retailer than originally intended
It was going to be pirated regardless because it isn't going to be any kind of actual mods enabled RPG, It'll be like some kind of podunk borderlands at best with Rick & Morty quality reddit humor.

>Removing or limiting consumer choice is a bad thing
I agree, so why does everyone else with exclusives get double standards and free passes like "Console exclusives at least have the excuse" when they do it?

I know the actual reason, but I don't think you're ready to admit it.

Epic, the guys who literally started as PC developers, will end up killing PC as a platform. How depressing.

>competition outside of Steam's near-monopoly will kill gaming
Really makes ya think

I don't remember Epic being a publisher for Outer Worlds.

You niggers have been at work shilling for Epic for months and you still don't know what a monopoly is.

Why is there so many people sucking Valve dick? I thought brand loyalty was exclusive to consolekeks.

I fucking explained the reason in my post. Many console exclusives have the excuse that they wouldn't fucking exist without the bonus money from becoming exclusives. Games that do not get this bonus are also anti-consumer if made exclusive. And this is what Epic is doing and why it's bad - actively harming consumers in at least two cases.

What, pray tell, do you think I'm not ready to admit?

fat faggot gabe should have dealt with this after the first time it happened. just put in the contract to create a steam store page that you can't do timed exclusivity. it's one thing for these publishers to do exclusivity bullshit, it's another to use Steam to advertise their game for months, while people use Steam's forums and then suddenly take a bribe for exclusivity when it's about to come out.

This is fucking sloppy on the part of steam. don't allow these retards to profit off of your store to sell their games on another with timed exclusivity.

You mean just like the epictards ignored that Metro was pulled from the MS store to be on Epic only?

There is no double standard you below 80s IQ subhuman chinkoid $hill retard. You are legaly feces eating shit retarded. Kill yourself you failed aboriton.
Bayonetta 2 would not exist if Nintendo didn't finance it. Death Stranding would not exist if Sony didn't moneyhat Kojimbo.

The Outer Worlds was already a thing years into development, its financing was never out of the question or in jeaopardy, just like with Metro Flopxedus before you slit eyed insectoid Chinkbots showed up and bought those cheap whores with your Ding Dong rice confetty money like the good cum dumpsters they are for 12 months

I love that Valve drones spent decades ignoring the “anti-consumer” practices of Nintendo with there Mario exclusivity but will jump on Epic when they do the same thing. Talk about hypocrisy, am I right?

>waah waah it's not in the game store i wanted
Why gamers are so entitled?

Reminder that Commandos was the better franchise.

Really makes you think.

Based. Fuck Valve

yeah, it really makes me think how cheap those whores are that even bugmen can easily afford them.

No they didn't, 2K did.

Epic is using Chink yuan to bribe developers.

Developers are already compensated even if their games don't sell that well, case in point with Phoenix Point just shrugging off 100% of preorders.

If they accept the exclusivity deal they are literally set for a few years with Chink yuan.

I look forward to when it runs out like when Microsoft had to give up on trying to get PC fags to pay for XBL.

This sin't about business though, the Jap devs go with what is the most well known platform and installbase that's likely to produce more profit.
With Epic it isn't that simple because it isn't just a case of Epic making a store to "compete" with Steam. The entire Western games industry is backing Epic in this, it's an attack on steam in an attempt to eventually bury it. And it's something that has been brewing for a long time with how assblasted the Western Industry has been over steam sales, user reviews, and forums, etc. They don't want anything negative said about their products ever, regardless of whether the product is utter shite or not.
People will say "but muh Epic roadmap has user reviews", guess what? There's no way those aren't going to be moderated with suspensions and bans or reviews straight up removed for saying negative things about products.

isn't*

its unironically a store ran by Tencent and im not looking to support that dogshit company if I can.

They ruin everything they touch and I've had a personal foul experience with them and their influence over League.

Great, I'm not supporting any developer who takes part.

the microsoft store is actually worse than the epic store, there's a reason no one talks about it at all

They don't care.

It could be worse;
Epic could hold the Unreal engine hostage and only let developers use it on the catch that the game made on it is EGS exclusive forever.

>What are you sorry for. They chose this for themselves.
Obsidian didn't make this decision. Take-Two chose this. They're the publisher and they decide where they release it.

It's a shame, I would have bought this if they didn't pull this shit.

They already waive the fee for UE games, this would not surprise me.

Me too. Oh well, I'll just pirate and buy it on Steam sale when it releases there. Jew fuck publishers who flock to Epic don't deserve full price sale from me.

1 year later it'll be on steam but everyone would have pirated it already. Just wait anohter year later and buy it on sale for $5 I guess.

Lmao just pirate it, Epic is paying it for us

Guess I'll be using the MS store then lmoa

Literal COLD HARD CASH

I'm more annoyed Control is an Epic Store exclusive.
Gave Quantum Break a shot when it had a big discount during the Winter Steam Sale and it was fun. Looked nice, story was interesting, CIA and good soundtrack. Room for improvement and Control seemed to up the shooting mechanics.
I'll wait for the pirate then.

Bashing Epic doesn't mean they're defending Steam. Both companies suck.

"we want everyone to play our game. Except you guys. Fuck you guys specifically"

what the fuck kind of business practice is this

Why be sorry? The Chinese already paid for the game for you.

You missed the part where Company A offers a service strictly inferior to Amazon's and is associated with Chinese information peddlers.

>Trashing a company for shitty business practices is corporate bootlicking now
The corporations are not your friends and aren't doing any of this to help (you). If Epic wants to establish itself with out shitty exclusivity practices then that's one thing, this is another and you'd realize that if you didn't have Epic's dick lodge so far down your throat your stomach is bulging.
