The Epic Store won't accept 'crappy games,' says Tim Sweeney

>"We'll have a quality standard that doesn't accept crappy games," he said. "We'll accept reasonably good quality games, of any scale, whether small indie games to huge triple-A games, and we'll take everything up to, like, an R-rated movie or an M-rated game. A GTA game would be fine to us, but Epic's not going to distribute porn games or bloatware or asset flips, or any sort of thing that's meant to shock players. The PC's an open platform and if we don't distribute it in our store you can still reach consumers directly."

Hi China Man.

Epic is the crappy spyware store where good games go to die. All flops.

We already have threads about this shillposter, you're late
no social credit for you today

>fortnite
Nice lies

Translation
>The Epic Store will accept anything as long it's not offensive

for me, it's the epic store. the best way to purchase video games

I really want Steam to have a fierce competitor that will address its issues, but I hate that it has to be chinkware.

>MURDER GOOD
>SEX BAD

>we'll provide even less options using our arbitrary standards
Wow, this is so much better than Steam already!

Epic is becoming quite the competition.

Bait so weak despite trips

>no porn games

This

Sooner or later it'll turn into "We won't accept sexist games"

Japs better be wise as to not deal with this devil

This is the future of the west. Chink competition in everything. They will probably win too.

>The PC's an open platform and if we don't distribute it in our store you can still reach consumers directly
Come on now

Hey is Metro Exodus safe to pirate now?

>no porn games

>crappy movies

>no crappy games
>Rollercoaster Tychoon Adventures featured at top of the page.

So basically it has no chance of killing steam. Got it.

Wow, is this guy just taking what Jim Sterling's been bitching about Steam all these years?

Was it not?

it's full of crappy games though
fucking hello neighbor is there

Man, this quote is gonna age well in the next few months

Based, some quality control, something steam doesn't have

I just checked out their store and there's like literally 15 or so games. i saw axiom verge but that's also on steam? there's also some ubishit on there. What the fuck are these morons boasting about again? this is the worst fucking store for games on the internet lmao

Just wonderin gif there was a crack

So Yea Forums is basically just a chink marketing platform now?

Define "crappy games." Because, for example, if you just showed me the original Hotline Miami without letting me play it, I'd have considered it indie pixel garbage. There are a lot of games that look like shit that actually play really well.

Not really, on occasion Chang likes to talk shit and tranny jannies let him do it.

>HIGHER REVENUE CUTS FOR ALL
>indie cunts start salivating
>trying to convince everyone why 88% is good and necessary for the industry and if they don't get it their dog will literally die literally
>epic starts only stocking well known indie titles or new stuff from proven developers
>we won't stock "crappy games"

The message being sent here is if you're not an already well known studio or haven't put out a game that isn't successful elsewhere, you're not getting on the store. Sorry, hope you didn't have any plans for all that cash you were definitely going to get :^)

Essentially this. They're going to let other platforms take the risks on new devs then buy exclusivity later. Bunch of cunts.

>"won't accept crappy games"
>Fortnite is on there
explain yourselves, Epicucks

>but Epic's not going to distribute porn games or bloatware or asset flips, or any sort of thing that's meant to shock players.
ironic when the launcher itself is all of this and more.

/thread

Tim Sweeney going to become the Cliffy B of the 10's?

Epic Store already has 'games' such as
epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/flower/home

>but Epic's not going to distribute porn games
YIKES! What a bunch of fags.

Good, we need this now that Steam store looks more like Android market place

>won't accept 'crappy games
>accepts Heavy Rain and the likes

lmao

Give it 5 years and I bet indies will be complaing about their curation.
This happened with Valve when they opened up their store to more products in 2008. Come 2013 and Steam greenlight comes up in response to criticisms of their curation.

You really being down on Flower? We gonna tussle nigger

Already half the games on there are crap. Are they pretending Thimbleweed Park is worthwhile lol

Epicfags will never, EVER have store.steampowered.com/app/1024800/Femdom_Waifu/

They're kino

But user, they're not games, so that rule doesn't apply to them

Is this faggot seriously saying that porn games aren't good?

Rance has better gameplay than most modern games.

IS THAT MIRA?

Not a decision I want a retailer making for me. What kind of retard would want that?

Who has the final say on what is considered a "crappy" game? Sure there may be universal crappy games (Asset flips and whatnot), but then you get into a lot of indie games that have people divided over their merit.

>won't accept crappy games
>fortnite

JUST

Would La-Mulana or it's sequel be allowed in the Epic store?

Rance is the exception, not the rule

I don't like Epic store, but forcing Steam to get rid of all the shovelware shit would be a benefit.
