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

pcgamer.com/the-epic-store-wont-accept-crappy-games-says-ceo-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."

looking at their storefront right now, all but 3 are undeniably crappy games, so he's lying again.

No shit. Tim can't afford to give half a million dollars to every Hentai Slider that comes knocking at his store's door for a minimum sale guarantee.

Your opinion is worthless to general consensus

Seems pretty strange considering every game on Epic Store is a crappy game

But what are they doing to encourage grassroots game development like Steam Greenlight and consumer engagement like Steam Early Access?

yeah about that..

The only opinion that counts in matters of taste is one's own.

See

Are you saying that Epic's opinion is worth more?
Is it ok that they're deciding for you what you should like?

This will please the retards like Sterling that sperg out over having shitty games in online stores.

what consensus are you talking about fucking chink lover

Isn't Epic shitting on all the retards that think they can become game devs?

Yes it is cause their opinion is based on fact of working with top developers of the industry with games with high praise

So that means Outer Worlds is going back to Steam?

You also won't find customers on the Epic Store.
>Epic's not going to distribute porn games
Yeah, wouldn't want any of that porno, no body likes that stuff.

And when epic becomes the top dog, then they will sperg out about walled garden and demand open door for all games, just like they did with steam.

So AAA westrash?

They're not going to take any AAA games? Its like they want to fail.

What the fuck

Give it 5 years and this will happen. If anyone remembered, Valve opened up Steam for other developers and publishers in 2008. In 2013, they introduced Steam Greenlight when they were getting increasingly criticized for their curation.

The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989

welp there goes 99% of indie games then

Valve absolutely needs to curate their store or they will become irrelevant within the next couple years.

How about fucking metascore for a start?

>Valve curated their store
>Everyone bitches
>Valve introduces Greenlight
>Everyone bitches that it's not fair to everyone
>Valve drops Greenlight and just lets people release their game on Steam if they want with no barriers
>Everyone bitches that there are too many games so they don't get sales
Really makes you think

Game looks based

Long live the people of Xinjiang.

wheres the tayal guy
tell him to sell his game on epic store and see how that works out for him

yeah, that's what we said about steam until we stopped believing in them

Moral of the story?
Don't listen to consumers.
They don't know what they want.

ackshually... they only have crap gayms.
good gayms, like dawn of man: only on steam.

1 time play stuff like metro exocuck: epic.

so epic lololamirtelol111!1

weeeny: weeh weeh weee have de sheet
gaben: hold my beer, slave

>Don't listen to consumers.
That's the devs

weeny: console cuck and nobrain
gaben: hey, ah. let's make some card game guis. burp. hey, moar beer!

Cringe

Joint effort between consumers and indie "devs".

truth hurts, knave i know. back 2 play with your penis sucker 4, maybe you get errection this time

we on pc prefer games that acutally deserve the title, not 5 minute jackoff porn on shitstation. it's easy. you lose we win.

Is it true that the Epic launcher will scan your computer for Steam files containing your personal data and upload them to chinese servers?

No

yes

not just steam. they scan your entire HD. it's basically a trojan.

>the Epic launcher will scan your computer for Steam files containing your personal data
Yes
>and upload them to chinese servers?
Epic claims they won't, but also why the fuck to they need to know my games owned, playtime of those games, my wishlist, and other things to connect my friends list?

is that why my PC becomes slow whenever the Epic app is open?

no that's windows 10. it's an even bigger trojan.

you good?

Everything scans your computer.
Windows 10,
Web-Services,
Anti-Cheat Software,
and yes, Steam, Origin and the Epic Store scan your Computer as well.

If you want any semblance of privacy in 2019 you better migrate to a hardened version of Linux and only access the web via VPNs and TOR.

I'd rather support the Google gaming streaming service than the Epic store, get fucked Tom Sweeney.

They have early access, and Greenlight caused more trouble than it was worth.

He probably meant asset flips and scamware that prevalent in Steam

So they're definitely not selling their own games, then.

Finally, the only way that Steam can win against Epic is to introduce the new hentai section on Steam.
Like if you agree desu.

>asset flips and scamware that prevalent in Steam

They're really not unless you're actively seeking them out. I mean if you're constantly searching for trash games the algorithm is gonna think that's what you want and suggest more of it to you

THEN WHY DO THEY HAVE FORTNITE ON THERE?!

Heres your general consensus faggot.

Man it's such a shame that Remedy decided to partner up with Epic, they're about the only modern developer I think deservers the support and now I'll have to pirate their game with a heavy heart.

>Remedy decided to partner up with Epic

$5 says it was the publisher 505 Games and Remedy had absolutely no say in it, just like Obsidian and their publisher Private Division

Winnie the Pooh

>I'll have to pirate their game with a heavy heart

The devs/publishers already got paid by Epic for this exclusivity deal. Buying the game really only benefits Epic unless the minimum sales threshold is reached (it won't)

fortnite kids aren't the general consensus sweetie

Even self published indies take the deal - take your conspiracies elsewhere

>crappy games
>Using this term in a official statement
Confirmed epic store full of 12 year olds kids. Not only will i not buy anything from that company i will pirate everything.

>Publishing virtually owning the devs and making deals for them is a conspiracy

Underaged detected, fuck off kid.

But he can afford to buy pheonix point. Literally, he gave them so much money they said if they sell 0 copies they still profit.

>take your conspiracies elsewhere
What? If it was a self-published indie then obviously the developer themselves took the deal. If it is a game with a publisher then no shit it's the publisher that took the deal

>Do you like big juicy cocks and huge tits?
Yea
>Then this game is for you!
No sir it does not appear that way.

How? Where are you from?

It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it.

Why? Just seems like you're trying to derail criticism against EPIC.

Daily reminder that the same journalists that slam steam for the shovelware are the ones that pushed for lower standards. Except porn admittedly.

I'm not going to say where because I don't want to turn this into /pol/ but basically the authorities associate Tor with pedophiles and if for whatever reason they look up your computer and see it has Tor installed you're fucked.

Daily reminder that Steam now has lower standards AND still bans porn/VNs so you can stop pretending that lower standards is a good thing to spite faggot journos

how would Yea Forums react if Bloodborne was coming to the Epic Games store?

Why are these so effective?

Cool, too bad I'm never downloading your greatly inferior and potentially spyware ridden software, I have enough of that already.

I already have steam, the blizzard launcher, and origin I don't need a fourth store front. I swear to god if the MCC collection moves to the epic game store in the final hour I am gonna flip my shit.

I don't understand the point of even having porn/VNs on Steam. There's so many other ways you can support the original creators DIRECTLY (i.e. dlsite). Why do people insist that this shit NEEDS to be on Steam?

Honest question, why would anyone want to use a game service that doesn't even have a review system for games on their store?

Absolutly based and redpilled i want this man to take a gun and fucking rip steam to shreds hes the hero we need but dont deserve

Indie shits BTFO

now where will the discord trannies head to now LMAO

Because i have a brain with the capacity to think and form my own opinions about things without needing others to tell me whats good or bad

It's kind'a funny, because being openly accepting of porn and loli is just about the only chance in hell they have of succeeding, short of spending billions to buy up AAA exclusives which will never happen.

But Metro: Exodus is fucking awful.

wew laddie, imagine being so omega level cucked and brainwashed that you need corporations to tell you which media to consume instead of reaching your own conclusions
There IS a happy medium between having a free-for-all like Steam and the Ebin corporate nightmare
