>Epic collects less data than valve

Have you seen Fortnite? Because I don't think you've seen Fortnite. Both the Battle Royale, and the buy in zombie defense have loot boxes. The original Fortnite, the zombie defense game, you couldn't even progress in the game without paying money for Lootboxes... and it was buy to play.
>Epic doesnt rip off the devs
It doesn't touch the devs, it just gives the publishers a better deal on paper, while forcing them to sell to a limited market.
>Epic doesnt allow shit game
Now that's just objectively false, it's getting all of the David Cage "experiences" and Fortnite

No, fuck off you falseflagging cunt. We go to the store that doesn't put a big black dick up our ass. If a store cropped up where they didn't collect our info, had good deals, good community features, and didn't resort to bribing devs to go to said store - we'd move.

I've yet to hear a convincing argument as to why Steam deserves 30%. I mean all the things they offer: bandwidth for downloads, workshop, forums, all of that is on autopilot, Steam doesn't need to allocate any man hours, even patching is fully automated devs just need to upload.

Even GOG does write-ups of every game that they release to promote them, even if it's just a paragraph or two, everything Steam does is automated, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if Valve as a company had been run by some of AI scripts for years now as they do nothing.

You pretty much just described Steam.

Hey guys! I just had a blast achievement hunting my xbox360 games! I was thinking of getting into pc gaming! I wonder what cool achievements Im gonna get from the Epic store!

Google is worse than both of them combined. Do you stop using Google?

And why do you think nobody wants to move?

Bandwidth + Maintenance + The Publishers agree to it.
All other points are trumped by that last one btw. It doesn't matter what you think in regards to the 30%, because everyone else finds it acceptable for what they get.

When will the Chinabots understand that pointing out Steam's unrelated flaws doesn't make Epic stop being a total piece of shit?

google is free though, what kind of retarded argument is that?

>I've yet to hear a convincing argument as to why Steam deserves 30%.
Because it's the industry standard.

Not like it matters, because developers clearly don't give a fucking shit about the store/dev split. Discord has a 10/90 split, yet they get nothing but indies and old ass games. Funny how Epic only scored exclusives with bribery.

>because everyone else finds it acceptable for what they get.

Except they don't which is why we're seeing games on Epic Store

Games like Vampire Bloodlines 2, guaranteed Epic didn't pay them just to be on their store.

It's botnet. Avoid at all cost.

Apparently many devs do not find it acceptable anymore as they've dumped Steam for Epic.

>Except they don't which is why we're seeing games on Epic Store
PFFFFT HAHAHAHAHAHAH

See Discord has a lower split than Epic, yet nobody is going to it. Epic is literally only getting developers because they're offering so much exclusivity money that developers don't even need to sell copies to be in the black.

Think about this:
If Epic didn't make games exclusive to their platform, there wouldn't be a reason to go buy the game over there, since their service sucks.

why dont devs go to discord who has 0% cut?

>Games like Vampire Bloodlines 2, guaranteed Epic didn't pay them just to be on their store
That's also on Steam. Epic is buying exclusivity. Not games as a whole. They are putting their game on Epic because why not? Maximum exposure. Why wouldn't you sell your game in both Walmart and Target? Epic didn't but their exclusivity. They are just putting their game on the shelf.

If Steam did change to an 88-12 model, what would the point of Epic be? Would they just stop their operation?

Doesn't matter. According to you - devs flock to bargain splits and Discord is throwing the best split out there. You're just further proving that developers do not care about the split.

Discord has sold games for months now

Steam collects your info, idiot.

Garbage dump like Steam is becoming

Chat program first and foremost - it's like when MSN had that gaming zone crap.

Steam offers to host the game's multiplayer servers for the devs, as well as easy apis for them to implement multiplayer. they offer cloud saves, which is storage, which isn't free, bandwidth isn't free either. workshop and forums also take storage.

But what comes to your mind with Discord? When I hear discord, I think the thing I use to share porn on

you can download the nosteam version online and play it right now, faggot. There's plenty of active servers too.

This game was saved by its switch port and nearly died thanks to the Steam version - why do they deserve that 30% again?

That's because Steam is the entrenched store that's been around for over a decade and has millions of psying customers you morons, inertia is a powerful force when you've been around that long, people are naturally resistant to change.

Epic is just using exclusives to get a foot in the door which is as viable a business tactic, and certainly isn't "bribery" by any definition of the word (including legal).

I find it funny seeing Yea Forums supporting thr industry middle-men, the parasites who take their cut and produce nothing of value. Epic is very good for developers, especially indie devs without publishers.

Do you honestly think that by supporting Steam you're gonns get Half-Life 3? Valve doesn't give a shit about you, the entire company is run on autopilot and is basically a mschine which sucks money dien a black hole giving nothing back.

Middl-men are cancerous parasites in every industry on the planet, the less cut they get the better.

Holy fuck how will epic fags ever recover?

>Why do you think they turned off the servers for Lawbreakers, Evolve Stage 2, Radical Heights, etc

It's because Steam doesn't actually offer you servers you fucking retards.

Not every developer takes advantage of this. That doesn't mean that they offer it. Look at Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition. It uses Steam servers now. Used to use Xbox Live servers, but they shut down GFWL.

The Switch is a more concentrated market. The game didn't stand out on Steam, that's all. It has nothing to do with the cut. Where do you think they got the money to port the game and pay for the Nintendo marketing?

I don't support American companies

Steam has no obligation to promote your shitty game, do that work yourself. More important than that, you are NOT forced to stay only on steam, steam offers an array of services and and big userbase, but nothing stops you from using literally any other platform that allows you to be there.

>Epic is just using exclusives to get a foot in the door which is as viable a business tactic
Since when is establishing a Monopoly a "viable business tactic"? I guess it's viable in the sense that it makes a lot of money... having full price control on a product with no market competiton tends to do that. But why are you, as a consumer, in favor of the Monopoly the EGS is forming over these third party products?

But epic has already do all those though?

>Epic is just using exclusives to get a foot in the door which is as viable a business tactic, and certainly isn't "bribery" by any definition of the word (including legal).
It is bribery. Literally the only reason Phoenix Point is on that store exclusively is because Epic offered to pay the developers so much money that Julian Gollop is now locked into the black no matter what happens. PP could sell zero copies and have EVERYBODY refund their KS pledges, and he'd still be in profit. He has thrown his entire community under the fucking bus.

>Epic is very good for developers, especially indie devs without publishers.
And yet nobody is going there unless they're bribed. And we once again bring up - why is nobody moving to Discord when their cut is superior for the devs, better than Epics too?

>Do you honestly think that by supporting Steam you're gonns get Half-Life 3? Valve doesn't give a shit about you
Ah the classic Chink shilling tactic. Acting like anybody gives a shit about Valve itself, and simply doesn't use Steam because it's the best store for games for the CONSUMER.

$0.10 has been deposited into your Steam Wallet.

They aren't bribing anyone moron, they are simply making a contractual agreement with the devs for the game to only be on their client, which is a completely legal business tactic and I dare you to find anything in US law that contradicts me

You are just butthurt that Epic is playing hardball with Valve, who have sat on their asses for years doing nothing, thinking they'd never have real competition. And now they're pissing themselves.

The Steam/Epic competition will only be good for customers, it will drive down the cut so devs have more budget for their games (especially indie games), which means that game prices my also fall.

Stop thinking like a delusional Valve fanboy and think like a customer and a gamer.

No such competition exists, it's just marketing, Steam doesn't even care about the Epic store as they've clearly shown.

>What monopoly? You use the product like any other product!
Fucking 'tard. It has nothing to do with the usage of the product, it has to do with market competition. How many competitors are selling Metro: Exodus? Hint: none

Gaben deserves a lot of the shit he gets, but I don't think enough people appreciate how he was essentially the only person who really understood the problem of piracy and knew how to stop it.

Those are just key resellers.

Agree. Even now a lot of people don't understand this and keep trying to add more roadblocks to "stop" piracy, only making it so pirating a game is easier then buying the actual product.

Keys that they obtain from the publisher, not Steam. The publisher is allowed to create and re-sell as many keys as they want, for free.

Epic paid for my copy so I can freely pirate it without any moral qualms

Valve is the entirety of the Video Game industry? Wow, I never knew that.

I am being generous and saying that the trading Steam meta-game bullshit counts as a separate marketplace from Steam itself.

There is no close substitute because every other digital storefront is run by jews with infinite hunger for money while gaben will eventually eat enough to be full for a while.

That's a little obtuse, it's similar to saying Black Desert Online is itself an industry because no other shop deals in their "Pearls" currency.
