Who gives a single shit about any of this. Epic Games Store isn't a $400 console, "exclusivity" is a joke. Fuck valve, fuck epic, fuck jannies

assault android cactus is fun though, even if it has a dogshit name

Yet they will allow Shitty playing David Cage games as well as other dumb shit that's terrible.

Assault Android Cactus is actually a good game though. So really Epic denied a good Indie game and allow David Cage to spread his filth instead.

>Fuck valve, fuck jannies

Based

But Assault Android Cactus is actually okay twin stick shooter.

Epic doesn't care about game quality, just brand power.

>Epic Games Store isn't a $400 console, "exclusivity" is a joke.

So why can't I buy Epic Game Store games from places like GMG, Fanatical and Gamesplanet for cheaper? Why do I have to buy directly from Epic (or now Humblebundle which sells EGS games for the exact game price so there's no benefit to me)?

We literally just had this thread you fucking shill

>Rejecting anything but pixeltrash
Is this a joke?

>you fucking shill
Shilling for what? It can't be the game's dev. The dev the OP clipped that tweet from even deleted their tweet so clearly they don't want people talking about it

This so hard, big example on that store being Hello Neighbor and it's sequel

Both games are incredibly glitchy to the point where on certain playthroughs if things arent generated a certain way (which happens a lot since this shit was not tested) then it's basically a soft reset to fix it all

But because it had that FNAF sort of effect thanks to YTers, it's now sitting comfortably on there with its book and merch deal but with a 38 on Metacritic

He thinks anyone who talks shit about Steam is an Epic store shill

So is tencent's guaranteed sales numbers money running out?

I mean it's more likely they're just a retarded contrarian looking for (you)s, since there's no actual benefit to consumers that's shown up as a result of Epic's 'competition'

FNAF is a genuine piece of shit that could only be sold on Steam for money.

There's been no benefit to PC gamers as a result of Steam's existence either. They're stores, not your best friend

>epicdrones think this game is bad

on second thought maybe epic store is good after all, it keeps all the retards out of steam.

I'd rather a store that misses out on indie gems here and there due to a stricter acceptance than a store that allows every piece of shit indie game under the sun to flood the store

It is funny to observe it playing out exactly as we all knew it would.

Indie devs hate steam because, fundamentally, the front page and exposure in general is zero-sum - for someone to see your game, they have to not see another game in its place (and vice versa).
They comfort themselves by blaming this on a glut of trash asset flip games, when the fundamental reality is that there is a large flow of titles equal in quality or worth to theirs.

The Epic store is relying on stricter curation to "solve" the quality problem, but it quickly reaches the same scalability issues that Steam had and GoG has. As such, more and more indie titles that should be "good enough" are going to be rejected, until Epic takes an approach similar to one of Steam's.

At the end of the day they are competing against and angry about their fellow indies, and the fundamental nature of the market that they have no hope of changing. So these threads are a way to watch them come to the realization.

>There's been no benefit to PC gamers as a result of Steam's existence either.
-Linux support due to Proton
-High level of controller support is a standard
-Publishers actually take the PC platform seriously now (unlike the fucking 2005-2015 dark ages after everyone abandoned the PC)
-Devs have outright said they focused more on modding support for their games because Steam Workshop became a thing

fuck indies and fuck SJWs

>-Linux support due to Proton
>-High level of controller support is a standard

All of which were added last year - so you're saying Steam was a piece of shit for 14 years?

>-Devs have outright said they focused more on modding support for their games because Steam Workshop became a thing

Steam workshop is bad for games on GoG because they have no way of accessing the Steam workshop mods

Fuck Epic,
Fuck Sweeney
Fuck Tencent

REMINDER:

Dev himself said his game wasn't "rejected." The email epic sent only said that their lineup for the next to quarters are full, they can't accept any more applications right now but they are looking to work with devs in the future.

OP is literally an outrage bait faggot trying to trick you.

>-Linux support due to Proton
Proton is relatively recent. Even before Proton, Valve did quite a lot to increase the number of native Linux ports once they started supporting Linux. Proton is really just icing on the cake.

>rejects good indie games
>accepts sjw movie trash like fucking detroit: become human
the absolute state of epicucks

Holly looks cute, can I play as her the whole game? Is the Switch version good?

It isn't much of a trick. Epic is rejecting games that are clearly up to their standards. The underlying reasons don't really matter - if they're having problems scaling up their review process already then they're definitely screwed and that's worth ragging on them about.

>Linux support due to Proton
You may as well have said "they spent money to make wine a bit better" which is true but doesn't help with the fundamental issue that more and more games are using DRM that doesn't function properly on Linux.

That's something they need to help solve, but refuse to comment on.

Am I a faggot it I think the game looks fine?

Post your steam library, "PC gamer".

you can choose which character to play as in any level, and they all have unique dialog with the bosses

>All of which were added last year
Steam's been adding controller support for a while, but yes something like the Switch Controller support was in the middle of last year
>Steam workshop is bad for games on GoG because they have no way of accessing the Steam workshop mods
There's is no requirement for mod creators to only release their mods on the Workshop. There's nothing about workshop that requires specifically making the mods in a certain way

there's 50 million games that look just like this

I thought Epic was talking of having exploitative uber trash like Rape Day.

>There's is no requirement for mod creators to only release their mods on the Workshop.

It is if the mod can only be exported to Steam workshop - I see you've never seriously used the tools devs give you.

Fucking based holy shit

It's funny Tim uses Rape Day as an example of what Epic will never allow when Rape Day never did and never was going to actually make it through to go up for sale

This, Android is nothing special - it might be serviceable

can you name some of those "50 million" games?

So should Epic also not allow FPS games? That's basically your argument here.

And so is Epic

>will prevent illegal content

What's illegal about Rape Day?

What did he mean by this

Ah yes, Metacritic.
The SJW critics that don't highly rate anything unless it appeals to their ideology. Hence the lower quality games.

You Valve cringeoids said that fad Apex would kill Fortnite

Attached: cringe valve fans.png (1608x1029, 148K)

People only like FNAF for two things.
Children love it because their favorite youtuber made a funny face at it. and everyone else likes the dark story underneath everything else.

It's gonna be dead within 5 years and deep down, you know it. Hurry up and buy those exclusives before they get popular thanks to steam you fucking feces

We could go by the "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews on Steam instead if you'd like

I don't really want a bunch of braindead retards operating a storefront to decide what games I have access to. I don't even like how restrictive steam is because I'm not so stupid that I can't find the games I like unlike Yea Forums.

I'm guessing hamster shirt is the new virgin killer sweater or keyhole cat swimsuit for Pivix right now.

>haveing the chinese goverment taste police your video games
embarrassing

chestlets can't just catch a brake

Battleroyals are the current fad genre. Like Moba's and competitive FPS games before it.
Is not wrong.
Once the kids no longer find the genre enjoyable do massive inflation of the exact same fucking games for 3-5 years. Fortnite and whatever sequel it has will die. Kill Epic games store in the process because Fortnite is their only cashcow.

this to be honest

I love companies deciding what I will and won't like.

I'm very firmly team valve but my eyes glazed over watching this webm

I don't know where this point comes from that "bad games on Steam ruins the good ones", that makes no sense to me. Anyone could make a PC game 20 years ago and now Steam is basically at that point. Did fucking shitty point-and-clicks stop people from enjoying HOMM back in the day? And on Steam you can see the game is bad before you buy it anyway

Children also work on hearsay for FNAF, they might have never seen any gameplay or e-celebs playing it, they might not even know it is a game series, but they'll instantly recognise Freddy Bear and gush about it because their friends at school may have talked about it.

This, based companies shielding me from wrong think

Basically this, there's a reason the E-shop, PSN, and XBL all blew themselves open to indies.
Suits have spent the last decade watching stuff like Undertale, FNAF, and Minecraft kinda randomly take off and think that they have a shot at whatever's next if they just allow everything. Which is basically true.
Epic is moving in the opposite direction, and it's kind of stupid. Yeah sure they can blow a million bucks buying game 4 in an established franchise, it's a lot more profitable to just have some random indie fuckhead sell what turns out to be solid gold on your platform.

is he crying because he didn't get on epic?

In 5 years steam will be the itch.io, the plattform shitty indie games go to die

fatter!

>their lineup for the next to quarters are full
But they're not a magazine that can fit only so many ads and articles before they run out of pages, or a clothes store that only has so many shelves. If it is a problem with insufficient man hours of quality checking the games, then Epic should realise sooner than later that manually curating the content is an exercise in futility.

>working
Moet signs are pointing to its not, primarily the lack of any concrete sales numbers, which publishers love shoving in everyone's faces when they're good.

i swear you fuckers are just trying to care about the Epic vs. Steam shit just so you have something to be mad about. like seriously, who gives a fuck especially when said "bastion of quality PC gaming" is just a front for a Chinese company that literally controls the entire gaming market over in its country.

>Battleroyals are the current fad genre. Like Moba's and competitive FPS games before it.
1) League is still huge
2) Fortnite is bigger than League ever was. PUBG is iirc the fifth best selling game of all time.

If Fortnite/Epic die, it will take a very long time.

But shitty indie devs are the only ones supporting Epic, if they cut them out how will they survive?

Every fad feels like that when they aren't in the end.

i don't like epic but this looks like a fucking lbp level

this, also fuck niggers and fuck kikes

No game has ever been as big s fortnite is now. Nothing that big fails without a constant concentrated effort

Steam is the reason indie game have such a negative stigma. This wouldn't happen if they didn't allow literal shit in their market place and created such a stigma against solo indie developers

Good solo indie games do really fucking good on steam.

Maybe he should have made a better Twitter clone, instead of a shitty Steam parody.

Big fads don't die over night.
The reason you think Moba's and competative FPS games were never as big as fortnite is because what you currently see of those two fads at the moment is their death throes.
WoW was huge. It's currently a corpse walking right now. Same with League of Legends. Used to be so fucking big that Yea Forums required a new board to combat it's flooding. Now it barely if rarely reaches bump limit every day when back thread it had multiple generals going at the same time.

Seems big now because video games have been the most accessible they have ever been. 3-5 years from now the masses will have moved on to the next fad while Fortnite Quietly fades until it is dead.

Then tries to fruitlessly make a Fortnite two that bombs because it tried to ride the coattail of the new fad.

It is more about QC than actually deciding what is or isnt a good game. Cage games are well built, and meet Sonys publishing standards. Any store would carry that.

They are garbage movies with zero gameplay and poor writing.
Nothing but the ramblings of a failed movie director.

>Non-curatedStore:
>You're letting in too many games! Mine got lost in the shuffle!
>CuratedStore:
>WTF?! Why did you reject my game?!

Can't win.

Indie games are the only reason to play games. Epic store just wants corporate drone audience and thats fine

Imagine being so seething you wrote a wall of text like this because he's scared of fortnite.

FPBP.
Stop these dumb fucking warring threads. Nobody fucking cares. Buy the game on EGS, pirate it, or just fucking sit there and seethe, just stop crying here.

WoW was bigger than Ultima ever was. LoL was bigger than WoW ever was. Every new thing is bigger than previous thing ever was, user. It all dies away in the end, regardless.

Then why add David Cage games. They are garbage devoid of anything remotely related to "Quality".

Only looks bigger because the last big thing is shrinking.

because you are a completely braindead shitposter who confuses "well functioning complete product of high build quality with" "STOP LIKING THINGS I DO NOT LIKE"

It's all fucking QTE that mostly don't matter.
It's a terrible functions product of terrible build quality with enough money to masqurade as something high quality.
It's a gold spray painted pile of shit on display at the louvre. More time money and effort was put into telling people it's a quality product than the product itself.

He may not be, but I would say that. Doesn't mean it's not good on them, or that it makes Epic magically better.

That could be argued for probably more than 80% of vydia.

JUST

Duke Nukem 3D isn't anything like Doom

When EGS says "cream" thry actually mean "what's popular". If your game isn't getting memed by streamers or hasn't already been blooded on the market and proven to be good then you won't even get a look in. Just goes to show you how stupid indie devs are, they're taking the EGS bait hook line and sinker. If EGS actually succeeds it will mean the death of the niche indy scene because EGS only wants big sellers.

Look, epic store could be the second coming of gaming and I still wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft pole because of the chinese involvement.

If the games not interesting, why sell it?

Good might be stretching it but Cactus is at least like a video game that works.

“Interesting” is independent of hype.

Dwarf Fortress is interesting and hyped

Friendly reminder that for all Valve has done for M'Linux, the number of Linux users on Steam has gone DOWN every year since 2015.

And with the Steam hardware survey having a 1% margin of error, and the number of Linux users currently sitting at less than 1%, it's not clear that Linux gamers even exist.

They are, quite literally, a statistical anomaly.

Also Subnautica, and i say that as someone who got it in Early Access, those devs do NOT give a FUCK about fixing glitches, or even blatant shit like the watersurface. I like the gameplay but i will be fair about the quality, and this that it is nowhere near as good as it should be, due regular glitches, graphical and gamplay disrupting ones.

I found that shit forgivable in EA when i could assume it was going to be fixed because EA products are admitted to being unfinished and therefore hard to QA, but was already "done" when Epic put it up on their store, at least the poor faggots there got it for suitable price of free though.

>it doesn’t matter that they did it, because only a small set of their population benefits
Epic shills bringing the real chink logic.

It was why I was glad I got it free

Doesn't really change anything.

>Fuck valve, fuck epic, fuck jannies

fpbp

yeah but people only have so much money. They don't want to overcrowd their releases including indie because they want the devs they partner with to do well. It's not just their cut that entices devs it's their practices.

If it weren't for ching chong winnie wong I would be more on board with it.

only top games like beyond two souls

I want to see this shit crash and burn.
I have 500+ games on steam, and I'm not getting yet another launcher for the exact same thing. Only GOG is worth a damn outside of Steam.

>those devs do NOT give a FUCK about fixing glitches, or even blatant shit like the watersurface
just speaking in general but like in 90% of the time this is absolut incompetence. I mean they can physically, literally not fix it because they have no idea what the fuck they are doing. best example is avalanche studios (theHunter Call of the wild).

the pattern is always the same:

Answer this, Epicdrones. If competition is good (like you say it is with Steam and EGS), then what's wrong with letting this game compete with the other games on your platform? If it's truly shit, then surely the customers will decide that for themselves and not buy it, won't they? You're not afraid of a little "competition", are you?

Tiananmen Square massacre 1989. Winnie the Pooh

Why is this so hard to understand?
What steam used to do was bad: Only accepting titles from the most major publishers onto their platform, denying entry to anyone who wasn't already a major player in the vidya market.
Also true:
What steam does NOW is bad: Letting every shitstain who has a few bucks throw their garbage onto the platform with absolutely zero quality control, only removing games if they are actual hatespeech or rape-sims. leaving hundreds of games that are below the quality of student projects.
Both can be, and are true of steam. What we need for a good store, is a curated system where we get the major titles AND the indies, that keeps away the trash that belongs on itch io, and newgrounds.
And fuck exclusivity too, you should be able to purchase wherever the fuck you want. Steam, GOG, GMG, Epic, or whatever the fuck else there is. What is this? Console babby land? This is PC Mustard race, and we shit on exclusivity.

I'd sooner buy that Rollercoaster Tycoon game on Epic Store than this Android shit

So nobody specific? If it's everybody you can easily let all games pass and "everybody" will decide what is good by buying it and what is bad by avoiding it.
Guess Valve already figured it out then...

Steam already has most of these features. The thing you basically want is the system to be completely automated.
On steam it is not automated for you completely. Some responsibility on the users end is required, and some people HATE that. (greedy publishers)
You pick your own curators, and remember, people cried like the sky was falling when it was added an than everyone forgot about it(and basically never used it).
You also have to setup your own list on what you want to be seeing. You can filter indie 1 dollar garbage titles and never see shit again. Again. I bet 80% of steam users have likely never even set it up or ignore it entirely. You want to see less shit you don't like stop clicking on it. 2019. An we still have large, roaming bands of mouth breathers not wising up.

It honestly would have. If it didn't immediately stop updating after release. And didn't release a week before a new season of Fortnite. and release several months early because Anthem was a forseen commercial Failure.

Lots of shit made it so Apex would pale in comparison to Fortnite. Most of which is the fault of EA. Like most things EA touches.

the problem with shit games is that browsing games takes like 10 times more

The epic shills are pulling out all of the stops.

>of good taste?
Nothin' to do with taste. Easy as piss:
>Is it an actual game?
It's allowed
>is it a cobbled together assetflip?
>is it the unreal tutorial map?
>is it some MSPaint one man project?
>does it generally look/feel like nobody spend more than 5minutes on it?
>Is it missing the fucking .exe file?
Then it can fuck off.
Point is, you shouldn't have to wade trough mountains of garbage in the form of "setting your shop preferences in a way it doesn't fling shit in your face". The store just shouldn't be full of shit in the first place. You wouldn't tolerate that from a brick and mortar store: "Oh, Isle 5 is just a literal pile of steaming manure, but you can just manouver your cart around that and be fine". Sure, it is avoidable, (if you know what you do, and mind you, some users don't, and we can't just assume everyone can either be on OUR level of vidya knowledge or fuck off) but it brings the whole store down. avoidable or not.

B&r

>Point is, you shouldn't have to wade trough mountains of garbage in the form of "setting your shop preferences in a way
Shut the fuck up.
You blithering retard. We're done here.

How many games do you buy in a month?

>Hurr durrr you is stupid argument over
Well done. Like I said, many people are not on the level of vidya knowledge as you and me, and shouldn't be expected to tell at a glance what is the difference between a promising game, some chancer garbage, and an early access title that may or may not ever be finished. Be truthful? Did you buy Space Engineers? Did you buy Ark? Or any other "Early acces surival crafting" game?
You must realize that not everyone has your or my knowledge when it comes to this vidya shit.

One or two, why?

How many of them do you play a month?

And half of worthwhile indie games wouldn't be released with your "standards".
Goddamn, you fucks really pulled out all the stops and don't even realise how inccredibly retarded you sound while doing it.
Thanks for the laugh I guess.

Varies, sometimes I play a bunch, sometimes I have one that takes up a lot of time. What is your point?

Show a list of the games you have or at least as many as you can
>your point
I want to see if you are worth listening to or if you are just looking for something to bitch about.
I really fucking doubt you have all of those almost 18k+ games.

lol @ sjw developers who wanted to stick it to steam

>have played

>And half of worthwhile indie games wouldn't be released with your "standards".
What makes you think that? What makes you think these standards would be set just at the level of "Tripple A quality video game"? My post clearly indicated that that is how steam started and that I see it as a bad thing. CLEARLY I said that I don't want shit that looks like someone spend less than 5 minutes on it. Meaning any half decent indie game would CLEARLY be allowed. Hell, even with intentionally reductive looking games like Pony Island, Undertale or Downwell you can tell right away that those are actual games, and not scams like all these fucking unreal shitmaps, or The WarZ.

there ya go.

So you have a problem with asset flips, low effort indies, shitty fotm streamer games but then buy them all anyway?

Discovery is a problem everywhere, but that doesn't mean simply not allowing games is a better choice.
Curators are the easiest way to find good games. Just ignore fucking meme curators and get good ones, like "doujinsoft addicts" for Japanese stuff.

Literally false. Email from Epic only had "your game was rejected, contact us in a year :)". Back to Weibo, Chang.

>HAVE played
Didn't see that, took a while to prepare. I played a lot of them, liked a lot of them too. Sure I haven't played ALL of them, but who can say to have played every great game? I think I have a pretty decent average tho.

I try to stay away from asset flips and I certainly don't buy all of them.

>not a single response
Ooooh, you're avoiding all the hard questions, aren't you?

Like Sweeney said, shady tactics are "out-businessing" when Epic does it.

I don't even play fortnite, I'm here just for the you and to see Yea Forums seething.
Making myself looks retarded anonymously and getting replies never been so easy.

Stay mad and keep giving me your free replies you autistic manchild.

>Cage games are well built, and meet Sonys publishing standards.

So does Life of Black Tiger, apparently

Quality control is a good thing

You are stupid
