>for free

Oh, you'd like to believe that, wouldn't you?

Good for you. I pirate all steam games even the free ones since I value my privacy.

How did they get this information? I have Epic and I was never asked about this survey? Did they somehow scan my files for it perhaps?

we already know companies shill here, but Epic's shilling is so fucking blatant

>only people who post about stuff i dont like are being paid!!!

Not do the Steam version, Valve staffer.

thats... not the problem here

Thats like admiting your user base is a minority.

Doesn't that just mean 40 percent of the users are fake?
Why would anyone who don't play games download the Epic Launcher?

>Not do the Steam version
This is what happens when the chink is forced to go off script.

And yet you still have the Steam client installed for some reason.

Because fortnite.

inb4
>"w-we ran a poll"

Nope.

40% of epic games store users are zoomers who only play Fortnite. why should they care about other services?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests

Of course when ya include the kids that play fortnite, that's a fucking stupid article.

4/10 is a pretty slim minority, especially considering Steam is the biggest game distribution platform out there. It means Steam's monopoly is not as huge as it seems.

You realize that being here is going to lower your social credit score, right?

If 8 out of 10 people use steam.
It means 4 out of 10 people use EGS.

Last time i used steam was for Day Z, the mod for Arma III, not the standalone one.

I uninstall Steam immidiately as soon i don't need it for specific game (which in first place, i never buy Steam games if theres choice). A cancer platform, from the start till end.

Everyone, at you.

but all modern games are coming to steam user.You buy them on consoles or what

Except it's hardly verifiable

>40 percent of EGS users are zoomer fortnite players
not something to brag about desu

that's because they're 12 year olds who only play fortnite and don't want to buy any other games

>cucksteam making fun of anyone
Loving every laugh

t. steam drones.

And after that they claim to shit on Epic since it hinders "competition"

This.
Its pretty awful how shills shit on this board.

How did they gather this information? A survey? Botnet?

Because most who use Epic are Fortnite kids who don't even know what Steam even is.

what

99% of Epic Games Store Users only play Fortnite

>create launcher for your free2plqy game
>game gets popular
>turn launcher into storefront
>claim people who have the launcher are people using the storefront to impress shareholders

Their launcher goes through your files and zoomers don't even care that much.

Neither are you, idiot. Epic plans on removing all storefronts, not just Steam.

You can't do the Steam version because it doesn't exist.

If Epic doesn't fear competition, why aren't their stolen games on GOG, Discord Store, Amazon Digital and Humble?

So 40% of EGS users play Fortnite and nothing else, I expected the number to be higher actually.

I don't get why people keep reporting these numbers as if it's fact when there's no way to vet the information. That's like believing the government when they say they don't spy on you.

VPNs are a meme, buy a seedbox, download over there instead and fetch the mongolian cartoons from the seedbox to your battlestation via SFTP. With all the inspection in the world all your provider can see is a SSH connection to a legitimate cloud VPS.

steam and pirates, btw most of those are for fornite

How the flying fuck could 40% of your user base not have steam when you're on PC? The PC game distributor thats been around for like 20 fucking years as the only real distributor. They numbers have to be inflated or something. That's impossible.
Are they factoring in kids playing fortnite off their phone / tablets?

>40% of the lolfartnut kids who only play that one stupid goddamn game don't have any other games and so don't use steam
Are people really so dumb that they can't figure this shit out on their own? Holy hell.

let's be honest here, Steam used to only be popular for Half Life 1 and 2 then TF2

So, if their user base is 85 million, and 40% don't have steam that means theres about 34 million users that haven't got steam, that's about half of valves' user base.

Hasn't Epic store grown past Steam too? How on earth have they done it, just fortnight hype?

go eat a dog, chink insect

>yeah. $50. thought so.
talking like this makes anyone you talk to want to punch you in the face, even if you're agreeing with them.

They give out one pretty good game every two weeks, I'm not surprised

>Yea Forums says

>40% are ultra-normies who installed it to play Fortnite
That makes sense. But can you actually convert these people into paying customers or do they evaporate like all the old people who bought a Wii for Wii Sports?

I am.
I will never use the Epic store. That's a fact!

Steam has well over 100 million users

hello. i'm a dummy and i would like to filter out all OPs and subjects containing "epic store" (using an and operator), but i'm doing something wrong. can someone help me with the regex?
what i have so far:
>/epic store/i;boards:v;op:only
useless, only matches exact "epic store" phrasing
>/^(?=.*\bepic\b)(?=.*\bstore\b).*$/m;boards:v;op:only
no idea why this doesn't work
>/^(?=.*epic)(?=.*store).*$/m;boards:v;op:only

Yeah in 2004 and then 2007.

If they're not using steam by now they're probably not invested enough in PC games other than fortnite to matter. It's like saying smartphones are the future of core games because X% of smartphone owners don't play on PC or console.

WOWWWWWWW

they don't have Steam because they are Fortnite kiddies. Otherwise where else would the buy all the other games not on the Epic Store or GoG? It's a lot of games you know.

Do people seriously take sides with this shit? Do they seriously stick to one console or service regardless if there are also good games in other places?

Kids only play fortnite, this isn't surprising.

Considering how steam dominated the market, if 40% of the customers epic has do not have stream it implies they are new to the pc market.

That implies in turn that epic's userbase must be tiny.

>40 percent of Epic Games Store users say they don't have Steam
Well duh. It's not difficult to see that many kids got their first foray into pc gaming with Fortnite, and that also means they never had Steam before.

No one since for one i bet that alot are just kids who only play fortnite on their pc and secondly quite a few people care about privacy and shit so will lie about that type of shit just in case any sort of info were to potentially leak as to make it so people will be dissuaded to instead go after people who said yes, since they probably are lazy fucks like most who use same login shit for everything, since they will be the easier marks to steal shit from.

>85mil people usse its store
as in, 80mil have fortnite installed and that's it

I love how in threads where people are talking about not using epic, it’s full of all these reasons and calm discussion of why people don’t want to support it.
And so far the counter arguments seem to be:
>Most people don’t care about all that.
>Fuck steam.

Wew laddy

I couldn't care less about this Steam vs Epic shit, i don't fucking care since i use steam for free games and pirate everything else. If Epic wasn't a blatant chinese botnet i'd use it just the same, but there is one thing that makes me firm in my belief to not touch it ever:

Despite the fact that Epic has literally a money printing machine in the form of fortnite and could do whatever the fuck they want, they still decided to outright kill Unreal Tournament. No skeleton crew, no explanation, no "maybe we'll pick it up later", just fucking straight up killed one of the oldest franchises in gaming history.

So fuck Epic, UT was great and you're a bunch of money loving jewish cunts for killing it. Fuck you all to hell.

They aren't using the store though. They downloaded Fortnite and it had the launcher on it. How many of that claimed 40% number have bought a single game? Hell, how many of them have even touched the free games? And outside of that 40%, how many of them only have it for fortnite and free games? They keep putting out these trash articles to make this service look like a success, but where are the actual numbers? 40% is meaningless on its own.

You have to make an Epic account to even play fortnite on console. Their 85 million users is heavily boosted by console users aka kids who don't own a PC to even install steam. What a lying sack of shit. It's the same shit EA pulled with origin

It always gets me that someone uses the word "Epic" unironically in 2019

What's so bad about Steam? Seems like a shop just like any other.

They make such obscene amount of money for Valve that they can afford to do anything, including nothing. The Valve company policy is that they will not start any project that a large portion of the work force doesn't want to work on. And when most of the workers agree that they should all sit and do nothing while getting paid, that's what they're going to do. And Valve can afford that.

So I guess it’s safe to assume that Rape Day was an inside job?

Wasn't that obvious? Why the fuck would journos talk about it otherwise? There are billions of similar low effort stuff on Steam, but they get ignored, because nobody ever sees them.

Obviously. Fortnut is huge.

>"What? People want to see sale numbers for our Metro boasting? What the fuck? Give them more vague context-less statistics"

This situation kind of sucks. Not because I want Valve to win, no, fuck them, I don't particularly care how much money they take from devs, what I am concerned about is that PC gaming is going through what console gaming already went through every generation.

One big company that monopolized the market is now being rivaled by other company by aggressively advertising what their competitor doesn't have. It's fucking Nintendo vs Sega bullshittery again, except PC gaming is 30 years too late, it's backwards. The only upside is that you don't have to spend money on their respective game launchers for now

Why is this characteristic so prevalent in gaming market? Imagine if your DVD could play Game of Thrones but couldn't play Walking Dead.

Don't worry. The Free Market will decide which company succeeds and which one fails. (Says the shill as his company is being artificially supported by money pouring in from a foreign non-free-market economy)

they spy on sream file. it was in news several days ago.
