And how do they know that?

That only highlights how tiny their userbase is.

why don't they have steam?

Based on their "surveys".

Fortnite launcher

Steam is obsolete, look at better services like gog or epic.

i think that asterisk is based off a survey or something. But who the hell trusts a company's spin doctors with no way to verify their claims? Like you can't even get player numbers for games on Epic.

I wonder how they came across this data

what the fuck kind of retarded bait is this
if they don't have steam then they're not potential customers in the first place

by installing actual spyware on the PC called fiddler but you consented to have all your info stolen.

More Epic users play on consoles than Steam

That's because 40% are zoomers who downloaded it just because it's made by the same guys who made fortnite, they probably don't even know what steam is.

It's basically a Fortnite launcher for the kids.

GOG, the service that's also being hit by Epic's exclusivity crusade?

It's just the fortnite kids.

Imagine bragging that at least 40% of your userbase never bought a game

40% of epic store users are literal children who play it on their parent's devices. Parents with no time for video games.

It's actually a bad statistic for them considering it mean that those people only interested in fortnite.

fortnite is epic's orange box
i'm interested to see where this all will be in 4 years but i wouldn't be surprised to see another origin

Wouldn't be suprised if they just pulled this data right out of their own asshole.

Translation: majority of PC gamers exept retarded steam drones always used ANYTHING BUT Steam.

No one wants to willingly install that bloated malware. Steam is unnecessary cancer between Gamer and Games.

>Almost half of Epic users literally didn't play video games until Epic

Somehow I doubt the Epic Store is MAKING new customers. Sounds more like no gaming faggots downloaded the service in solidarity against THE GAMERS and predictably didn't actually buy anything after downloading the storefront.

The real translation is that 40% of Epic users literally only play Fortnite

All the data about Steam users/sales in first places comes from

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Spy

Who works on Epic atm. So you either have his data or no data at all.

Oh yeah, the guy who insisted steam should have an API for determining sales data but says nothing about Epic.

For real, whats bad about this? What is the Chinese government or really anyone going to do with my information? Try and sell me something I won't buy?

Good steam ran without competition since 2003
Harr to believe it took everyone else almost 16 years to catch up

I especially like the fact that they eagerly report anything about Rpic Tengames as a uncontested success
Like with the Exodus sales
Given some non numbers they all loudly claimed it was a success story and fantastic triumph, nobody tried to analyze it and find out what it means exactly

99% of epic games store users are children with no buying power

plust another 20% that maybe played dota 2 since it's free as well

as someone who works at a pc and phone repair store
im not exaggerating when i say since the beginning of the year, about 50 elementary/middle schoolers either bought or upgraded their pcs just to play fortnite, and when i install it for them they usually have no games or just a couple of pirated ones

Damn, can't believe the both of them wouldn't use Steam

Great, now my main store is GoG since I want to own games

Fuck off with your chinese spyware

hey guys, is this the console war thread

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FAGGOTS

They have all of the buying power of their parent's credit card dipshit.

Epic just wants to censor out non pc games mate

I'm pretty sure that half of Battlenet and LoL users don't have Steam either.
Probably majority of CS:GO and Dota players don't have any other steam games.

Horse shit.
Epic came out and said they won't have forums due to "toxicity" and that reddit is a better way to reach players, and that reviews will be "opt in."
They suck developer dick so hard the only numbers they will ever publish is going to be like Metro Exodus and only if the developer gives permission.
>X game sold 2.5 times more than on steam!*

Pretty typical shady shit to sell to investors from Tencent so no surprise.

So I'm on the Epic store and I don't see Sekiro.
Is it seriously nothing but shitty western games and indie trash?

yes

>Pissing off people that could potentially buy in your store.

Seems like a fine strategy.

That image literally says less than half of their users have spent any money, even when they include Fortnite microtransactions. This means they probably easily have less than 10 million actual game sales across everything in their store.
They must have a lot of fucking Yuan, because this presentation would scare the fuck out of any investor there.

Oh, gross.
This shit is DoA of that's the case, everyone and their mother knows that western devs can't make good games anymore.

Slavs love their free games

It's actually pathetic

Epic will probably demand Sony levels of censorship if any Japanese developer wants in their store.

It's probably even worse, if you look closely it says Including Fortnite ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS.
They pulled up a number that was not even half of their Epic store users only by including Fortnite from all consoles to make a not even vaguely related number that still sounds bad.
Remember that Fortnite is bigger on console than PC.

Actually funny because Subnautica, their biggest FREE game was only claimed by 4,5 million users.
This means that 94,7% of Epic users don't use Epic Games Store.

Go fuck yourself, Chang.

That's bad news for Epic, not Steam. That more than half their current customers may still buy from Steam if the deal is better.

Anyone who is concerned with Epic, should not be, they're digging their grave so hard that I can't even believe it.
Their CEO is actually retarded.

Literally all of the PR talk by Epic is actually a big negative if you can see beyond what they try to tell you.

Why are people treating this whole steam vs epic thing like the console wars? THEY'RE BOTH FREE!!! It's not a big deal to use both if you really want an exclisive. Steam isn't dying and isn't going to in a long time and neither is epic. It feels to me like people are just arguing because they're petty amd spiteful.

Well, if for some reason Fortnite died quickly, the Epic store could not sustain itself for even a day on its own.
So there is that.

That's the joke. Literally most of the userbase are going to be zoomers that only play Fortnight/etc and never pay for anything.

Because epic is literally giving consumers less and forcing them to use their store.
I don't want to do support these practices.

Absolute bullshit. Anyone who does PC gaming has a steam account.

I already use Steam, GOG and Microsoft Store (only for Sea of Thieves as a gift from a friend). Epic offers nothing and I'm not going to support game store exclusives and a company who treats their consumers as second class citizens.

Told you faggots this already: Epic has a massive userbase of zoomers who have never used Steam and only know Fortnite, because they're underaged and/or started playing games with Fortnite. Why would Epic target an aging boomer demographic that has several thousand dollars worth of licenses tied to their Steam account? Those people will NEVER move, they are both emotionally and financially tied to their Steam account. On the other hand, the EGS could be for zoomers what Steam was for a lot of boomers, Fortnite having the same effect as Valve games did back in the day. Except Fortnite is larger than every game Valve has ever put out, combined. The fact that some boomers move over due to exclusives is, in the end, just a bonus, the main target is the MASSIVE userbase of Fortnite. Exclusives help with that, as soon as the zoomers start buying on the EGS, they start getting tied into it like boomers are with Steam.

Yeah sure and also fortnite zoomers are the next generation of consumers. There is absolute no reason for 12yr olds to use steam nowdays. Epic is the best video game company for them as Valve was once to us.

Epic is quaking in their boots, Steam just keeps reaching new heights with every new Jap game that launches while Epic doesn't even show concurrent player counts since they know that every game that isn't Fortnite would be dead.

here's what boomers don't realize. the term "gamers" are getting less and less attached to them, it's going to those fortnite kiddies. just like how it went from tabletop nerds, soon they'll become as obsolete as those nerds.

is that Remedy's new game?

The only reason why Epic is trying to get into store business, its because they know Fagnite is a stupid fad, in 10 years, few people will play, and move to some other random game, and here is the thing, Valve doesn't care about games, they are investing on a much more profitable market, flesh machine interfaces, which, let's be honest, is much more profitable in the long run, 20-50 years.

I'm expecting Valve to release their first consumer grade brain chip in 10 years.

Zoomers don't play on PC, the vast majority of them are and always will be consolefags.
Not to mention they don't buy games, they pirate.
I know I pirated tons of games when I was a kid.

this is what they're doing with buying exclusives, trying to force steam users to use their platform
otherwise they would not ask for exclusivity, stop swimming in your piss

This is exactly it.
Buy exclusivity for a few hyped games that people are looking forward to, forcing them to use your store then hope that they'll buy other-things there since they're using it anyways. It's an icebreaking strategy.

Real talk here, any kid I know only owns some mid-end laptop with Fortnite installed. any other game that's on the PC is either cracked or is Minecraft. It's not like they don't use Steam, they don't use EGS either.

Of course that's true, most 8-year-olds playing Fortnite don't have a Steam account.

That can't be true at all.

I guess now we know why they scraped all that Steam data from people's PCs.

They are 8 years old and only know how to double click on the shortcut for fortnite that their dad put on the desktop.

Reminder that every time Tim Sweeney says developers he really means publishers.

To not use something regularly, it means you still have it, so that means that according to epic, 40% of their users dont have steam, and 68% do have steam.
Which also means, still according to them, that 0% of epic store users use both, which is quite literally impossible(lets be real, hating or not, there are surely PC owners who had steam for years and still use it and also use the Epic store for those few exclusives they still want to play).
How do these numbers even add up?

>To not use something regularly, it means you still have it, so that means that according to epic, 40% of their users dont have steam, and 68% do have steam.
Not to defend Epic, but that's not how statistics work. Of the 60% of the users who do have Steam, 68% supposedly don't use it much.

Those 8 year olds are the future.

Epic Game Store will be the dominant PC platform in the future.

and they really think anyone believes that shit? did they even release the data tables and methodology of that "survey"?

they've already outed themselves by saying their free games have only been claimed by what 4 million people? going by their super awesome number of >80 million accounts that's nothing. literally no one is using epic store

Not with that business model, friend.

Thinking of making a game called "Epic Game Store" and then putting it up on Steam and allowing people to buy content on it like Metro 3 and Fortnite on it as DLC for $40 each.
Then put Epic Games contact details up for any customer complaints and pocket the money as BitCoins and goldbars soon as the cheque clears.

Anyone see any flaws in this plan?

if that's true(and it probably is, that's not how it's presented.
The graphic is clear
>85M Epic Store users on PC
>40% do not have steam
>68% do not use steam regularly
When you present statistics like this, which no line breaks or asterisk(there's one, but its for a different information) separating the 2 stats, they both refer to the very first introduced data, so, as it is presented, it reads
>85M Epic Store users
>40% of those 85M do not have steam
>68% of those 85M do not use steam regularly
and not as
>40% of those 85M do not have steam
>60% of those who have steam dont use it regularly.

As i said, you're probably right, but it's presented horribly and in a misleading way.

Tencent is a half a trillion dollar company with a five percent share in about half of all big game developers like Ubisoft and Activision Blizzard, forty percent share in Epic, and a hundred percent share in Riot Games. Not to mention all the mobile game companies and streaming services they either flat out own or are heavily invested in.

If they want your data, they'll get it through the games you play.

That's why they put out their statistics the way they did. It's a smokescreen for investors and also for any steam users that are stupid enough to see BIG NUMBERS and get scared and say "Welp, might as well switch". They want to seem like they have a larger market then they actually do.

85 million accounts is almost a complete fabrication, since if you look at the fine print, it is across all of their services, which include Fortnite. Over 90% of these 'accounts' is console and mobile Fortnite users that will NEVER touch the game on PC and thus completely unaware that the EGS even exists. 4 million is closer to the actual user base for the store. Fortnite only has another 10 years in it at most. Once those kids grow up, get new tastes and leave that old game behind and Sweeny knows this. He's desperate to get a stable platform for at least SOMETHING that will continue to make Epic free money without doing anything. Which is why they have recently come out saying "Oh, no, we won't do exclusive deals forever." Which actually translates to. "We don't have the money to continue to compensate publishers for guaranteed lost sales and we hope that they will just stick around because we don't take as much money."

>He's desperate to get a stable platform for at least SOMETHING that will continue to make Epic free money without doing anything.
He could have just paid his devs to release some other game

I think that's the biggest problem with Epic Games Store - their main audience are used to free games where they can buy a shirt for their virtual guy once a while and they play nothing else besides that one shooty tooty shitty game

I would rather quit gaming altogether than install Epic's shit.

Fuck chinks, fuck niggers, fuck jews, and lastly fuck you.

Not insane, just shortsighted. It's literally the devil's deal, you get a shitload of money, so much in fact that you don't have to worry about sales of the game itself as Phoenix Point (the crowdfunded XCOM-like indie game) has proven by admitting that even if 100% of the backers were to request refunds, they would still be positive.
You lose your integrity however, even more so when you fuck over the people that crowdfunded you in the first place and I think many people who had a genuine interest in the game will consider it twice if they were to make more games in the future.

Yea, just like Minecraft was supposed to be the end all be all of PC gaming's future.
No user, kids play on consoles.
Period.
Just like all the Minecraft kids moved to consoles, so too have the Fortnite kids.
There's a reason PC makes up less than 10% of all Fortnite revenue/players.

You realize Epic became a billions of dollars a year business just from engine licensing before they ever had a storefront or Fortnite?

They really take this as a good news? This means 40% of their current playerbase is not actually a gamer but just jumped there. Anyone who is seriously played ANYTHING in the last 5 years have a steam. They just said 40% of their people have no buying power

Good thing I don't buy games from shitty western devs/publishers.

Uhh, no, they became a billion dollar company because Tencent pumped billions of investment dollars into them in 2012.

Why is Epic boasting about having f2p fags? Steam has them as well, they play nothing but Dota 2 and League and post-f2p TF2.

Are you literally retarded, or just some underage 14 year old who was shitting in Diapers when the entire span of 2006-2012 was games running on UE and epic taking a cut from every single one of them?

This can be easily avoided with some more advanced security measures, but not only do those measures need to be in use 24/7, it's even more trivial to just pirate the titles. They're all single player, after all.

Funny, considering how their userbase is mainly comprised of throw-away accounts, smurf accounts, bot accounts and new accounts because old one was hacked etc

face it shill, epic is a lying SHIT

that's not how words work though
is absolutely right
personally I think it says 58% only it's hard to tell, and hence they claim that only 2% regularly buys games

Fortnite kids too poor to afford steam. Color me surprised.

I don't hate epic... but how would %40 not have steam?

Doesn't this mean they have a tiny use base...?

The two biggest games on steam are f2p

this just proves Epic Store isn't really competition for steam, it's creating new customers that aren't familiar with PC gaming.

No one just deletes their steam library to play the 3 games that are on another launcher.

>normalfags that only play fortnite don't have steam
wow

Reminder that PCs are still an open platform because .udp flopped, the epic launcher doesn't change this at all, and you're a retard equating where you have to buy games from with a complete lockdown of your PC because you're an idio who thinks games on PC = Steam.

Wow thats a statistic

>Epic compares itself to steam in all of its publications
>Steam Steam Steam we are totally beating Steam Epic is so much better than Steam!
>look at our users, look at our sales*
>*based on Epic surveys we created and totally don’t allow you to look at see what the sample population/size was and what sort of questions there were

Epic is going all out on the fake news to reel in the dumb masses...let’s see if it works.

Either that or them sperging out at valve for not banning a pinnoy for calling a chink "ching chong"

Media like this is how you get what you want, post one metric that supports what you want and focus your audiences attention solely on it, once you've got people parroting you you've won.

Works for practically any market.

40% of epic store users use epic store exclusively for Fortnite

Wow so 4 people don't use steam?

Translation: 40% of epic launcher users haven't bought a single game.

The article quotes Tim Sweeney as saying "Any user without restriction can install applications from any developer". I currently can't install Metro Exodus on Steam because Epic bought the exclusivity. This is restrictive by definition.

40 % of epic game store users are chinks or fortnite kids that get a walmart pc gamer to play it.

40% of 2 people is just 1 person

And it's being restricted by nothing but your autism and slavish devotion to one billion dollar corporation over another. There is nothing stopping you from installing the epic launcher just like there's nothing stopping you from installing any other .exe because windows is a free platform. now stop embarrassing yourself with your kindergartner level attempts at relativity.

I wonder how they know this.
Surely it's not because their launcher is spying on its users or anything.

Their launcher must be super advanced spyware to also gather that data about consoles listed in the same presentation since it can't even run on them.

Not to go for the low hanging fruit but every photo of Tim looks like he's a cancer patient.

If Epic offered a better service than Steam, then you may have an argument. But as a consumer, there is currently no benefit for me nor my 14 years worth of Steam library.

Pretty much. EA and Microsoft love pulling the most random stats to sound impressive.
It's like Blizzard saying Overwatch had 60 million accounts. It's impressive but how many are currently playing? How many are actually enjoying it?

Wonderful. There's still nothing stopping you from running it, and Windows is still a free platform. Once again stop embarrassing yourself, there's plenty of valid reasons to shit on epic and yet you choose to create one that makes you look like a complete retard.

>inferior platform
>barely any games
>and those games aren't my cup of tea
It's not devotion to a corporation, faggot, it's the fact that they have NOTHING good to offer.

You'd think these retards would at least try to cover up their potentially illegal actions by renaming their processes to something more innocuous.

All true, and yet you can still install and run it like any other .exe.
Try reading what is actually being talked about before you comment.

Fucking opt-in reviews. What a joke.

You mean millions of 13 year old kids playing fartnite on their parents PC don't have steam? I'm shocked

And how many of those 40% play anything other than Fortnite?

What incentive do I actually have to want to install and run it if it is an inferior platform and does not have games I want to play on it? I could theoretically install any .exe on my computer just by virtue of it being an .exe, but if it is not relevant to my interests, what purpose does it serve me to waste my memory?
