Its not that, the game is also on Microsoft's store. What people are pissed over is that Epic is paying Obsidian's publish to keep it off Steam. They aren't paying for exclusivity, Epic is paying publishers to not use Steam.

Legally? Yes.
In terms of violating the principle of the matter? No.

no one cares, just buy it on the epic store

I use GOG, Origin and, occasionally, Uplay, but Uplay is sometimes a buggy mess so I stick to platforms that work whenever possible. Windows Store only occasionally incidentally works, and I don't live in China.

It's a single player game right? Just pirate it. It's the way to go if you actually want to own your games anyway.

Same tbqh. Thanks for saving my wallet, chinks.

Well that's capitalism, right? I thought you guys loved it.
When Steam got complacent and lazy, it's not the chinks fault that they were given so many openings to get aggressive with competition.
Why do you blame the dog eaters and not the fat fuck Gabe? It's all his fault.

Fuck off Chang people care you just don't know because you aren't human.
Anything that has any Epic Store exclusivity timed or not is a the most a pirate. I refuse to support these kinds of cancerous practices.

They made my decision for me.

Couldn't care less if it's exclusive or exclusively not on X, it's bad practice. If you don't want to sell it everywhere, don't expect me to keep some store bloatware around just to launch your one game.

>too fucking stupid to understand why buying out game rights isn't legit competition and is bad for consumers

go back to chinkland

Of course they're not, Obsidian explicitly refused their money. That user's just shitposting.

thanks

Having exclusives to promote your drm app is retarded especially for single palyer games because there is no investment in installing and de-installing an app. People already have huge steam libraries and valve can just strike back with exclusives on steam.
The only way for epic to get a foot in is to be cheaper and have a better community implementation. For instance if they worked together with twitch and discord.

I should get paid for giving this advice.

I'm quite sure it's only in Microsoft Store because they are the owners of Obsidian.

So you're saying Steam should require exclusivity too? Do you really want PC gaming to become a bunch of launchers trying to get a monopoly on the sale of video games?

>kikes

No one will care when you become escalator food

nah suck my cock loser
Gabe is the only one to blame for this situation
He's been collecting millions for doing fuckall for over a decade, telling his employers to do whatever the fuck they want without any direction (which is why they haven't made a good game in a decade) and now he somehow has a defense force of drones like you

>Stutter posting
Says it all really.
And no, I pirate the vast majority of games I play the only exceptions are games I really like.

I'd tell you to eat shit but you clearly already do that.

How do these people still not understand what competition is

when did steam ever bought exclusive?

I'm saying Valve should wake the fuck up, they don't deserve to be on the top for doing nothing just because there was no valid competition yet

You would think that a developer that has frequently gotten fucked over by a publisher in the past, would ensure that their contract prevents a publisher from fucking them over.
So either their contract did not allow them to protest this or they are complict, in any case the management has failed at their job.

>For instance if they worked together with twitch and discord.

You've yet to give me an ACTUAL reason to install the launcher. Exclusives do not excuse the shoddy software or the fact that you're hiding games behind YET ANOTHER DRM client, which means I don't own them but rather I'm renting them. You disgusting shills think it's okay for epic to take my games away at a moment's notice. It's a problem I have with steam too.

pizza tower is just wario land 4 but shit

WOOOOOW I FUCKING LOST

Usually dont pirate but I'll make an exception for this.
Just like I did with pillars of eternity II.

Epic is launching money at people to forcefully gain control of IPs. It's an hostile take over.
Western countries are exploring ways to prevent china from asserting domination over the world's economy, you do realize we're going to have to go to war with them.

Never, just block epic kikes from calling home, the more people that do this the less info they'll have on steam users wishlist.

if the only reason is for the game why don't you just pirate it?

That's not a reason when piracy exists, lmao. Also, supporting the devs is no longer a reason as well, since they have been paid already.

There's literally zero reason to buy the game from Epic.

A game I can pirate, which makes it so Epic can never take it away by banning my account? Golly, then why even buy it in the first place? See, that's why GOG is such a brilliant storefront. No DRM, and buying it is actually more convenient since it means no cracks or torrents or potential bitcoin miners. It also acts as a free backup incase I ever lose the copy on my computer. I wouldn't mind if Epic was like GOG, just a storefront where I can purchase DRM free games.

I don’t remember Doc Brown talking about evil corporations either. You’re an idiot if you believe it’s based on Brown and not “le god’s not real man”

Normies are not aware of EGS

why do they have to be EXCLUSIVE to one store?

It's great for publishers at the moment, you can send games there to die while still getting your money.
You can even end up making more money if the devs need to hit a sales number, since they never will on Epic.

Which is why I say Epic should remove all DRM and make their storefront as customer friendly as possible. Then they'd have a leg up on that fat asshole gaben. But they don't want to do that, because they're the same breed of disgusting corporate scum.

They also forgot to mention that it´s way more popular on console than it is on PC.

Good to know you don't get to play it, faggots. Watch an actual platform of people who do love video games funding this fucking project.

Free pass to pirate

It's just you. I don't believe preorders were available for The Outer Worlds or Phoenix Point (they sure got the backers, though) yet.

It's also on the Microsoft (windows) store

Nigga it's going to involve everyone.
China is huge and big, rich as all hell, they are the armies of Sauron and we're fucked. They've been mining the shit out of African territories for the last decade while chastise ourselves about what we've done there. They were here to take over the asshole throne and now their banks are full of minerals and the zergling nests are producing units.
The real problem is these insectes are not dumb, they smelled a chink in the armor with video games, mostly ignored by western government yet it's one of the most lucrative markets we have. Silly old videogames, childrens' toys and they make billions out of them. Not the US, not the EU, not Russia, China is raking in money and power from our children thanks to the internet's lack of frontiers.
Economically we are already at war and next might come a real ass global war and you and i will real ass die with shrapnel in our guts.

If you niggers had boycotted Steam the same way as you're boycotting Epic now, we wouldn't be in this mess. Steam is absolute trash DRM, and now that so many people have opted in it's seen as a """necessity""" for gaming. I'm glad Steam is finally getting competitors, maybe all these parasite companies will take each other down one day.

Even more reason to pirate

That's not competition

I, as a matter of morality, refuse to give money to China. They're the most definitively evil states since the third reich and have massacred millions of their own citizens to maintain a stranglehold on power. PRC has a higher bodycount than Nazi Germany and the Stalinist USSR, but everyone just ignores it because they're not murdering jews, slavs and anglos.

What doesn't Chris Avalon complain about?

They're shills user, they don't care about logic, only shilling.

Obsidian has been making bad decision after bad decision. They're probably out of cash, so Epic and their exclusive bullshit it probably a nice quick way to stay afloat.

But seriously Obsidian has gone to shit anyway. Who still genuinely gets excited for the trash they put out?

Steam has more exclusive than epic

Despite Galyonkin screeching so much about evil Valve not letting him to see data, Epic Store made by him completely lacks any information: it's impossible to see check user's library, it doesn't show number of concurrent players, etc. That's the only way they can pretend that Epic Store is tearing apart the competition.
They have recently announced that 4.5 million players have downloaded Slime Rancher and Subnautica, that's the total number of people using Epic Store. This is all we have. But considering how many people only take things for free, it's obvious that not a single game has sold more than a million on Epic Store.

Although hilariously enough, that's only because NetEase, another Chinese company, purchased Quantic Dream.

You can easily tell how all these news are straight up bought by Epic. Not a single gaming news website has reported on recent controversy about Epic Store possibly being a spyware. And yet, all of them have written at least one article on Steam being dead and Epic dominating with fucking Cage's games. This is so transparent that it's just disgusting. With other things you could at least doubt something.

Anti-consumer, laughably low amount of features with updates so few and far between, it's literally spyware, and the biggest problem that will always haunt it: nogames

Because Steam isn't forcing you to use chink spyware with no revies, forums, or workshop, etc, and Epic doesn't even have cheaper games with that increased dev share. What happened to passing on savings to the consumer? How are you so retarded you're not aware of all this obvious shit and yet you want to be treated as an adult?

What do you mean David Cage makes games?

Who the fuck is Chris Avellone

It's shitty, but there's absolutely no reason from Epic's point of view to release stats this early in their platform's lifespan. Of course they're gonna get btfo by Steam's established costumer base.

It's straight-up inferior to Steam as a service.
It's possibly the most anti-consumer thing in the industry right now.

Because you signed their TOS, it literally is, dipshit. Epic violated their own TOS and Privacy Policy by collecting private user information from Steam that was not agreed to be taken. Again, how sre you this fucking dense you missed the debacle over this? Are you living under a rock, retard?

Honestly the 40 walk through minute video looked unpolished. The combat looked static and awkward. It was always going to be a AA game but the exclusivity might mean it's a shit game and Obsidian had no faith it would make money.

Yeah, 15 years ago with their own games. That's how fucking far behind this whole model is, infused with dirty chink money to boot. Steam didn't even START as a storefront. Well done Epic.

Godspeed Winnie the Pooh.

This but unironically

My hopes for it lowered by a lot when i remembered it was modern Obsidian.
They can still make something coherent and good but they keep on gimping themselves, its like a curse.

Was the epic store even remotely a thing when the deal with PD was made? I don't think so. You're not gonna include a clause for something that doesn't even seem possible at the time

Explain to me what exactly makes this entire boogaloo such a problem.

I don't get people that stick up for Epic. Trying to force exclusivity-based console war tier bullshit onto the PC market is insanely anti-consumer. Everything they've done is at best done without any care towards whether it's good for consumers.

>but competition
Nothing has ever stopped anybody from distributing a game without Steam. Things like Gog, Itchio, Uplay, Origin etc. have existed for years. I wish I saved that one picture comparing purchasing options for Exodus before the exclusivity deal and after it.

They're not THAT slow in actual gameplay. Besides that they usually attack in clusters and in crowded spaces. I dunno what the fuck's going on with this gameplay clip.

The better question is if it is coordinated by epic or are asshats doing it for free.

sounds like every obsidian project ever even from before they were obsidian

This

The answer to that kinda question, at least regarding Yea Forums, is almost always "half-and-half."

Compete with what? Free money? Steam would literally have to do the exact same thing that Epic is doing in order to compete with this practice, because no sane man would guarantee a certain number of sales and then let them sell wherever.

Epic needs to be put down for even starting this shit. Publishers who agree to these deals also need to have their feet put to the fire

You use the store to play games, not use gimmick shit none gives a crap about.

I have never once used the Steam forums, the reviews are just people reviewbombing shit that has nothing to do with the game, they offer refunds so stop lying and I'm not retarded so I can mod games without a bloated workshop doing it for me.

Can you imagine the shitstorm "journalists" would have if Valve went tit for tat and started paying for exclusives? They would be whining about Valve's monopolistic practices against the plucky upstart Epic.

i would not give two fucks what other stores it's available on if it was also purchasable through steam. it's the exclusivity policy of Epic that I sincerely hate. Fuck Obsidian for supporting this shit.

Exactly. Just how like their biggest franchise Halo is exclusive to MS store.

I'm kind of amazed Valve actually goes along with this "one year later the game will come to steam" shit. For example for the outer worlds, the game has had forums, has been advertised on steam etc for a good while.

If I was Valve I would immediately remove that game from the library and tell them to fuck off. One year is a huge timeframe when it comes to games. No one will care anymore about the outer worlds in 2020.

If it's not a coordinated shilling attempt, I just want to know what sort of lives these obsessive faggots have. Just imagine spending each day reposting the same thread over and over for a corporation that doesn't give two shits about you.

>not use gimmick shit none gives a crap about.
Not an argument. Those features are very helpful for consumers and the fact that you're sgainst them shows you just suck corporate cock.

I'm pretty sure their mindset is that Epic's bullshit is going to bite them in the ass and once it does come to steam it'll sell 10x as much, so why not get their 30%

But I wonder if it's shills or Anti shills (as in the kind who hate the former but use their tactics for reverse Psychology)

>epic makes a system designed to spy on steam's sale numbers

Sometimes it seems like they're getting even more on 4channel by the mods

Epic Store incentives have always been focused on DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS if you look at the stuff they publish and fluff pieces they pay journos to write. You are right in that it's actually publishers, not developers, who are getting this free money, bigger sales cuts, and whatever else Epic is handing over for exclusivity.

>even more

Sometimes it seems like they're getting even more leeway on 4channel by the mods*

Oi fools. Stop white knighting Steam... you know, a giant corporation.
Is it really worth getting that upset about?! Get the PS4 version or something.

I'd imagine getting all their indie devs friends paid in advance for exclusivity to their shitty game on Steam is pretty much the end goal for journos.

I think people should be honest with themselves. It's not really about the "exclusivity" or "spyware" or any of that stuff. Those are transparent rationalizations. If you're mad about this, you're probably a hardcore PC gamer who has become heavily invested in the Steam platform over the years. You own hundreds if not thousands of games, you use the chat functionality to talk to all your friends, etc. Using Steam is part of your daily routine as a gamer and you don't understand why you should have to stop using it for this one game. There's nothing really wrong with this - own it.

I think you're full of shit.

>installing literal malware owned by tencent

The money goes to publishers unless the games are made by small indie dev teams that do without.

For example "if you also publish on steam we won't accept your license to use UE anymore" or who knows what mafia style bullshit.

At least some bigger stinking fish is hidden there which isn't visible for us all yet. Otherwise they would just fucking publish it on any store/platform.
I hope someone will leak it soon enough, otherwise at least the PC gaming market will crash for real, because there are currently too many fuckups at once (Epic, Streaming, decline in general, ..)

Of course SteamSpy numbers were completely wrong, publishers would drop PC in mass if AA+ games only sold 30k. I wouldn't doubt this was a long running elaborate plot to undermine Steam's reputation to then release Epic's dataminer, fucker even works for Epic now.

Retard.

I'm still pissed that Epic tried to get Cyberpunk. The fucking cheek of it. If it's going to be exclusive to anything it'll be GoG.

Numbers were actually correct when all community profiles were open by default, then steam made them closed by default. I remember Galyonkin even said that it wasn't required by GDPR law (it was before EGS was announced) so i wonder why they did it.

extremely simple user, stop blaming the devs when it was entirely the publishers fault.

Private Division is an American video game publisher based in New York City. The brainchild of Take-Two Interactive's Michael Worosz, the subsidiary was founded by Worosz and Allen Murray, and officially announced on December 14, 2017.

Publisher has no connection to the audience, their PR is just mouth pieces, it doesn't go back and forth just one direction. The main view on gamers are basically goyim, cattle, insects pay pig retards that will buy it either way and therefore are useless in the end decision. The publisher is taking that free check because its just good business to them fuck the repercussions, that's what they pay PR department for.

You can't win with these slimey fucks, that's why they are businessmen. At the end of the day they made more money.

Exactly THIS.

I can confirm since i'm also a dev. WE don't see SHIT. The money that is made is just shared between the moneyhungry assholes that are the publishers and Epic (normally Steam).

DON'T FUCKING BELIEVE ANY BULLSHIT PROPAGANDA BY COMPANIES.

They are fucking COMPANIES, which want MONEY, not your/our fucking WELLBEING.
If you really believe otherwise you have serious problems and need to get back to school and/or get a therapy to clean your head since it's so brainwashed by consumerism bullshit propaganda that it hurts.

Its okay you can have emotions, no need to be edgy

this is a situation that zoomers should have thought of BEFORE they supported any of those bloatware launchers in the first place. us boomers never had those problems back in the good old days of physical media and cd keys.

By developers they of course mean publishers and some manager retards at the development studio (if at all, but of course not).

...

As much as this is political shitposting, this image is still valid. Fucking Deadfire was an embarrassment to Western RPGs in terms of writing. I didn't know whether the setting was the magical land of elves and gods or fucking California. And two of your companions are literal village bicycles written by a real life cuck fetishist.

They banned the only /ss/ game, its literally japanese past time to be molested by a big thicc onee-chan in a white summer dress at a bus stop. Stupid fucks are racist.

I was going to get outer worlds on the Microsoft store maybe, but I only ever bought one game there before, Forza Horizon 3, and it looked like the installation files were encrypted? Is that standard for the windows store? Because it seems like it wouldn't be possible to mod it then.

Obsidian (or as I like to call it: "Ob-SHITTY-in") has only been fucking TRASH...!
Just look at EVERY stillbirth that came from that dumb whore vagina.

And before you say:
>hurr durr new vegas
Know this: it's a big pile of boring, uninspired shit, and YOU know it!

So why are people so mad at epiggames exclusives?
Who gives a shit? It's just a store.
Do you have to pay to join or some shit?

Day one pirate.

You do. The price is your convenience plus your privacy and a bit of your time as well.

So it's just another Steam Store?

Well that looks like hot garbage. What year is it? 2010?

Those free games haven't even been downloaded by 4.5 million people, that's just the number of registered accounts they claim to have with no specification as to whether that includes old inactive ones from years ago or console Fortnite players. Essentially, a much smaller fraction of those are even on PC using the Epic launcher at all. Probably only a few hundred thousand retards who don't realize it's a botnet spying on you and mining bitcoin and none of the exclusives have sold anywhere close to a million. Probably much closer to a few hundred or a few thousand max. All their Metro sales claims include Steam and console sales too.

>ask the people who had nothing to do with it that bought from a company that make entirely different business decisions

?

We must apologize to Mr Avellone

yes only with this one you're giving money directly to chinese insectoids
why on earth would you want two of them?

are you fucking retarded?

Steam provides you with convenience, not take it.

Why the hell would they rip off these shitty death cams.

For what?

>implying you poorfags need an excuse to pirate
>implying you ever feel bad about pirating and stealing a dev's hard work

>pirates 1650
>adventurers and risk-takers

>pirates now

I don't. Just wondering what the big deal is if the people who are mad are dealing with the same shit anyway.
>Steam provides you with convenience, not take it.
Fucking Fitgirl provides me with convenience. Got an audible "HA" out of me.

He was right all along

on a scale from 1 to 10 how hard are you epic shills going to panic when Half Life 3 gets announced as a response to all this epic shit

I'm not a charity. Customer is king, otherwise he's a pirate.

That's actually a pretty solid mindset.

Oh-but, haha!
I offer you a philosophical conundrum. The conundrum is this is:
SUCK MAH FUCKING BALLS FAG!!!

Well... will you...?

Oh, what a devastating argument.

I'm not an Epic shill and would laugh my ass off to those dumb shills.

But otherwise i don't think that HL3 would had such a huge impact nowadays anyway..
They are too late with this. They have to make a new big IP instead again, not some stupid eSport shit like Card, Moba or other bullshit, but a "classic" game with great story. Seriously they have enough money why aren't they fucking doing anything of that sort.

What why?

You're the kind of brainlet who thinks paid online stores are convenient.
I'd be better off debating a chimp.

REAL CONSPIRACY THEORY:

That's actually what Sweeny tries to trigger since he finally want's to get it, after that he shuts down the store again.

the fact that steam is acceptable and even mandatory now where it was fucking cancer back then. it was the start of all this digital storefront and "buy for license" for PC games.

>mfw dont feel bad about pirating EGS games since Epic aparently already payed for my purchase
arrr thanks matey sweeny

They're going to go ape shit when RDR2 comes to Steam. Rockstar and their publisher have both taken some not so subtle shots at the Epic Store recently when asked if they would support saying they prefer to stick to where the consumers are, kek. Hell, this desperation is already a clear reaction to the Halo games coming to Steam, so anything bigger and more relevant than that will make these roaches spaz out like no tomorrow.

No

I will never bend over for a filthy fucking company. You do MY bidding or I will steal your game, simple as that.

Based.

Ive never pirated anything before. Im going to start pirating all epic games, even if they come to steam later.

t. Wageslave

Piracy is not illegal. You can get sued into oblivion, but you won't go to jail for it. It's a civil issue.

Absolutely based redppilled chad customer.
Fuck corporations and fuck shills

Look at how many drones there are on Yea Forums defending epic. Fortnite has literally ruined gaming forever, it isn't the only reason we're in this mess, but it's the biggest of them all.

Fuck zoomers for killing my hobby.

Me too. Eventually buy them later at Steam/GoG if it actually was good and not some type of clusterfuck, since no one can know before SINCE EPS NOT EVEN HAS FUCKING REVIEWS / RATING.

So here's the scenario where you have at hand a full list of the games you've purchased where in a couple of clicks you can start an automated installation process and then it will only be a matter of time before you can start the game.
What are the alternatives you believe to beat it in convenience? A disc collection? When you want to play a game you'll have to first find the disk you want, put it in the drive, go manually through all the steps of installation process, wait for it to install and then go through more menus of finalizing it. Pirating? It's the same, except instead of searching for the required disk you have to search for an iso and download it.
So tell me, oh the one whose intellect dwarfs mine, what is more convenient than using Steam or GoG?

Except in Japan, and likely some other countries.

What, with that pixel depth? It's fucking nothing. I'd be better off looking up edited pixel art porn of 20 year old fighting games.

Piracy. Not only is it minimal effort to somebody with a brain in his head, but its incredibly low price compounds on that convenience.
The money saved makes life in general much more convenient than the handful of extra clicks that piracy requires.

>convenient
no wonder you worship that fat fuck
lazy fuckers

>back then

Back then means nothing. They improved, they fostered good relations with the community, they added consumer friendly features. When epic makes an effort to do the same then maybe public perception will change but until then they can fuck the fuck off.

I just don't understand the people that defend Epic. What they are doing is throwing massive amounts of money at publishers / developers to buy exclusivity on their platform. They know that sales won't be as high as they are on a platform like steam, but they don't care, and neither do the devs or publishers. They are literally getting paid so that less people play their game, but they still make a profit because epic gave them millions for their exclusivity.

Say what you want about valve / steam but they NEVER did anything like this in their entire history. Steam started as a platform to play valve games, and eventually expanded into a digital marketplace, and had no competition for quite some time, but their system was unique in that you didn't NEED to buy games through steam, and could purchase games through third party distributors of steam keys, steam of course made profit off all of these games but it wasn't as much as they made via direct sales.

They never engaged in these types of business practices, they simply built the best platform to play games on PC and there has never really been any competition to this (no, Epic store is not legitimate competition yet).

You really can't defend what epic is doing, and if you are you are really a shitty person honestly. This is console wars bullshit that shouldn't exist on PC. I should be able to play whatever games I want outside of publisher exclusives on whatever platform I choose. For example, if Ubisoft wants to make all AC games exclusive to uplay and stop selling them on steam, fine I understand that.

If EA wants to only sell their games on Origin, I understand that too. But when you start having stores paying large sums of money to outside publishers / devs to make their games exclusive to their platform, that's where the issue comes from. It's unethical and wrong to do this to consumers. The worst part is no one gives a shit because it's all about money.

All yellow devils look the same

they're doing the exact same thing
except you're no longer the player, it's those fortnite kiddies
yes, they're the gamers now
you've been replaced

>P-P-P-LEASE STOP P-P-PIRATING
>M-M-MASTER XI WILL BEAT ME HARDER IF I DON'T GET PEOPLE TO DOWNLOAD MY SPYWARE

WTF
now that you have posted a shitty Wojak and mocked what I think I have become convinced that Epic Games is good and I should buy Outer Worlds! OH YES WINNIE THE POOH THANK YOU
