Honestly? I'm okay with this. Steam needs competition and I couldn't think of anything that would drive normies to EGS than BL3 - plus I don't like the series anyway.
>I have to use free launcher B instead of free launcher A?? >NOOOOO
>Steam needs competition It would be nice if Epic would compete with Steam by selling the same products. Then the customers would benefit. But as long as Epic has the sole right to sell something they have absolutely no reason to lower the price and the customers suffer. Fuck Epic for trying to turn the PC platform into the cancerous console market with exclusivity.
Better prices? A better storefront? Literally anything besides paid exclusives to games they didn't even make? Retards like you complain about steam being a monopoly, but Epic is literally trying to become a monopoly by buying out as many exclusives as they can
>never really got into borderlands, liked 1, turned off by 2 >continue to see absolutely 0 games I'm interested in go epic exclusive
When it finally happens it'll be annoying but for now I don't give a shit.
Owen Butler
So people actually like this series? If I did then I'd just buy 3 on epic because I'm not a fucking drama queen, but the gameplay is just so boring. I pirated 1 a while back and got bored after the first area. Loot n shoot was a mistake
Zachary Rodriguez
Despite games getting more commercial every year the devs and publishers still seem to lack some basic knowledge about economy, demand and supply.
>Hey guys i made this game and you will buy it >I make the conditions and if you complain about it i will call you stupid and entitled >Wait! What do you mean you will not buy it or pirate it instead?! >Fuck. Gamers are truly the worst!
Imagine this happening in other industry. Like grocery stores or hotels. It's really insane. You can pull off that shit if the industry you are working in is controlled by the sellers/publishers but it's not like there are no alternatives to games like Borderlands, Fortnite and whatever. You can always play something else
Eli Carter
Want to know how to make competition? You give people an option. Not a ultimatum. Get borderlands on either service. Not Epic games store or nothing. Because most people will choose nothing out of spite. Or simply pirate.
Luke Reyes
I wish that was true. Fuck Borderlands fans. That would be a good defense against Gearbox earning any more money.
Nathan Roberts
4th game actually.

>So people actually like this series?
Here's a Steam drone bragging he has a thousand hours in them
No physical, no buy. Digital download code doesn't count. Valve drones don't care about choice, they didn't care when Valve took choice away by getting rid of physical copies and gave digital distribution a monopoly on PC. I started pirating because of Steam.
Brody Sanders
Steam autists stopped screeching, so reasonable people can finally post something about EGS.
Mason Jones
I'm pretty sure he's just establishing credibility so his threat can't be dismissed out of hand. It's easy to ignore people who say "I would have bought it but now I won't" when they are probably lying and didn't buy shit. It happens a lot.
Anthony Fisher
Mods have confirmed that its all one guy for the most part, same dude that spams the Mortal Kuckbat and Larian vs Obsidian threads. He just picks a new autistic obsession every few months and shitposts it hard
Jordan Morales
>valve took physical copies away. The industry took physical copies away. I can't find a physical copy of any PC game post 2010.

I wonder what Epic will use to compare The Outer World's sales on their store with, 2010's New Vegas?

Nicholas Brooks
This comes off as Steam drone cope, lost in the marketplace of ideas just like Steam is lost in the free market
Lucas Cruz
So you're saying he uses the same images too? OK, that's a bit more proof than you mentioned.
Thomas Rivera
I feel its worth reminding people that borderlands 1 is the game that had Yea Forums screeching viral at everything for 3-4 years.
Kayden Cruz
>And all it takes is an IP change and they wouldn't be able prove it was him again. Thats not how IPs work, how the fuck do you think the mods ban people for ban evasion if they can't tell who you are once you change your IP?
The exact IP might not be the same anymore, but you still know their location based on the IP
Aaron Green
Fuck steam and epic for censoring and banning anime styled games.

Why would Barneyfag post cropped horse fucker pictures and reply to himself calling himself out on being a horse fucker? Autism.

You reckon Gearbox will stop the exclusivity deal if we yell at them hard enough? It worked for the raid boss timegates.
Valve pushed to get rid of them as hard as possible, the rest of the industry picked up Valve's tactics after they saw the "PC master race" fell for it. Oblivion 5th anniversary edition Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition Witcher 3 Complete Edition That's about it for actual physical releases of major games, I have some of indie games but >indie games
Jayden Johnson
Do someone has the picture which explains in details why Epic is bad ?

You don't seem to understand the methods around that. But I won't explain them because I'm not endorsing it. Just know you don't know as much about the topic as you think you do.
i can't post the screenshot of the mod calling him out because i'm range banned from file uploads but he uses proxies

user, I don't think Gearbox is legitimately dumb enough to fuck themselves over by being epic exclusive. BL3 will actually sell unlike those other shit games that took the pay out.

>only six months Oh don't worry, it's gonna start with 6 months. If this game actually does good on Epic, games will be exclusive longer than just 6 months. Hell most other games already start at one year, if Borderlands 3 is going to be on Epic for six months we really good lucky this time. Fuck man PC really ain't any better than consoles at this point. Also >"Epic's leadership with cross platform support" They let people play Fortnite with crossplay and now they are the leaders of it?
I wasn't going to bother with this game but if it's pirate bay exclusive I might check it out.

Most all of the steam codes sold outside steam are generated by the devs who get to sell them outside of valve for extra profit.

>Steam is the definition of anti competitions as it is a fucking monopoly. You don't know what a monopoly is. Steam isn't one of them. Not even close because of shit like this. There's dozens of stores not even shown there.
David Flores
This is literally THE ONLY REASON why I will not buy Borderlands on the Epic Store, same with Metro, I refuse to not have everything in one place, even if it was cheaper, or hell. FREE. I'll likely either wait or pirate it, then buy it when it comes out on steam. This is the only thing that epicfags don't seem to understand.♨️
I'm sure this shit works on people who are new here, but I actually was here in 2005 and you're full of shit. It wasn't like this before. If people screwed around with spacing it was for effect; not as a matter of course.
Imagine resorting to ad hominem when you have no argument. It's not. Play the game on something you don't want to play it on or don't is not an option. A decision that will make me not play the game period. Ultimatum.
John Davis
Watch as the redditors scramble as they are exposed for trying to ingratiate themselves into a community they are not a part of. I bet you can't wait for that games page to come back up.
Luke Collins
Based oldfag. How have you survived so long? Kudos. I'm a newfag 2007-er and I'm growing weary.
Julian Howard
The fact still remains that mods are able to tell if someone is ban evading, so its not as if they'd make this claim for no reason.
Are you being retarded on purpose? That is exactly what he was talking about.
Logan Fisher
>Play the game on something you don't want to play it on or don't is not an option.
So Steam gives no options either, gotcha.
William King
And the idea that you need to cherry pick out of hundreds of thousands of posts to find some that fit your narrative is hilarious. The overwhelming majority of posts don't double space between every sentence.
That wouldn’t surprise me but I thought it’d either be discordfaggotry or actual paid shills
Jackson Morgan
>If people screwed around with spacing it was for effect; not as a matter of course. So yeah they typed like that. Shit don't matter even if it's ironic or not they still did it and posters now still do it because its fucking normal.
Luke Richardson
OH NO NO NO NO
Also, this image is from 2009 and people were still spacing out their posts
>Steam needs competition >competition Competition implies a product is available to all stores, but something in particular about a certain store, makes the buyer more compelled to go to their service See Gamestop with in-game bonuses via pre-ordering with them over walmart, bestbuy, online, etc This is not competition, this is a borderline forced monopoly
you actually looked it up, read it, copy pasted it and then posted it here
but at no point during all that did you take a moment to try and understand it
i thought you bug people were supposed to be fucking smart? holy shit
Xavier Hernandez
Never said it didn't. Just steam doesn't have exclusive. Just publisher and developers that don't release their games on a different service like Gog.
Luis Reed
>And the idea that you need to cherry pick out of hundreds of thousands of posts to find some that fit your narrative is hilarious. >I'm not a gullible newfag! You must have poured through every post to find one!

Leo Baker
Nobody is stating that it started with reddit, you retard. It is commonplace on reddit and as a result of that people who come here from reddit type like that because they're so used to it. That's the point. People who type like that are remarkably more likely to be from reddit because they don't know how the sites are different. That's the point.
Justin Bell
>That just means you can buy Games for the EGS on humble. Which means you still have to use EGS.
... just like how it works with Steam games you buy on humble, retard.
Ryder Adams
There's a ton of posts doing it in my old Yea Forums screencap archive.
Good. hopefully Gearbox finally burns with this one.

Speaking of. What's the deal with "discord tranny" guy? I ran into him a decent amount when I was gangweed posting all the Far Cry 5 QQing threads to shits, and just started running into him a lot with Far Cry 5. What is his backstory? Does he have something cool like barneyfag? Or did some shitposter just convince him they were from some organized discord of trannies trying to ruin Yea Forums or something? I mean I get the post has been approriated a bit. But the original poster seems really sincere in thinking There is some discord out to get him.
Mason Kelly
Post proof of Steam digging through your pc for information or fuck off.
Parker Garcia

Chase Bell
Is the autist the same guy who also calls anyone who raves at those who criticize Epic as steam drone?
Ryder Scott
lmao at all these fucking people itt who think that "competition" is selling the exact same thing as other people and nothing else. Fucking get a clue. Companies wether they are selling you food, carpets, bathrooms, tech or the latest fitness craze ALL offer some kind of "only available at*" stop being retarded on purpose, thats how shit is for EVERYONE.
Just pretending? What? Ass whipped? Are you a schizophrenic?
Julian Williams
Yeah. But I don't want to use EGS. Not for buying games. Nor playing games on it. Making the game still exclusive to the EGS and fixing nothing.
Alexander Gray
VAC does but that's opt in
Julian Myers
Steam drones think they have the moral high ground
Jacob Lee
>People who type like that are remarkably more likely to be from reddit because they don't know how the sites are different. That's the point. Only dumb newfags believe this. That's the point.
And now you have publishers and developers that don't release their games on services other than EGS. The underlying mechanics don't matter to the consumer, the end effect is the same. Epic is doing what Valve has been doing for years, but somehow it was okay when they did it. I have no stake in this, I hate both and 95% of the AAA shit that comes out on them, I just don't see how they're any different to the end user, other than corporate loyalty.
Samuel Evans

Discord tranny posting isn’t just one guy user There’s been lots of pics floating around of discords trying to fuck with various boards so a lot of anons are quite wary of them now
Nathan Adams
FUCK Please be a joke
Aiden Murphy
Now I'm confused and honestly think you may be as crazy as the dude who posts all those threads.
Ryder Jenkins
Even if he is spamming, you guys still haven't done anything to prove him wrong.
As far as I know, the whole 'discord trannies' thing has a bit of truth to it, most notably the group that was on r9k a while back that got that kid to kill himself. I don't think it's as widespread as some anons say, but they definitely exist, and some reoccurring shit threads can probably be attributed to an organized effort. That being said, I don't buy that they're targeting one guy.
Yeah, and sometimes he edits the pictures a little so it's harder to track him but at this point it's undeniable It's the same arrogant style with the same remarks all the time
Liam Ward
If the kind of people who bought Borderlands 1 & 2 are on Yea Forums it's time for me to pack my fucking bags
Benjamin Diaz
>And now you have publishers and developers that don't release their games on services other than EGS Incorrect. It was the publishers decision to release only Steam. In EGS Case Epic payed those publishers for exclusivity so they can't and won't release on a different launcher.
Literally nobody would be talking about or giving a fuck about Epic Games Store if Epic didn't buy exclusivity. Hell people might even like the launcher better that way.
>Every single thread about EGS >There are ALWAYS two or three posters trying desperately to push guilt onto Valve, use the word "monopoly", move blame away from Epic, and downplay Epic's connection to Tencent I just don't buy it for a second that there are people that consider themselves "fans" of a shitty launcher. I can think of no explanation but a coordinated effort to push EGS. It's extremely suspicious.
>the group that was on r9k a while back that got that kid to kill himself was that even real
Austin White
Holy fuck you idiot can you not see every single one of those posters is a fucking tripfag? How fucking obnoxious and conceited do you have to be to purposefully give yourself a name so people can identify you on an ANONYMOUS image board? About as obnoxious as a redditor apparently. They probably moved on to reddit and maybe you should to.
Remember to take your medicine and don't give in to the mania
Kevin Evans
Bloodlines 2 threads were being brigaded by organized shills and a few trannies showed up trying to convince everyone that VtM was always leftist agitprop, that's what set him off, he thought they were all trannies
Though, anyone who shills for pic related is still probably 50% chance of being a tranny
Both the group and the suicide were, but it's kind of iffy if they're directly related.
Joseph Adams

Evan Robinson
I am completely indifferent between Steam and EGS. And lowkey I understand some of the complaints about EGS. I just find steam fanboys incredibly insufferable, and they blow everything so ridiculously out of proportion that I feel the need to shill, just to fuck with them. This is what to much time on Yea Forums does to you lad.
Aaron Bailey
i'll do that when you re-read the definition of "evidence" and come back to explain to us exactly what went wrong apart from you're an illiterate shrimpdick

Brody Campbell
I've done astroturf marketing like that for the business I work for.
It absolutely happens on Yea Forums. I haven't done it here because that's not the market, but I've seen a lot of posts that look just like what I've done elsewhere, to a T.
Yea Forums is a great place to do it, as the community is already trained to repeat shit and adopt it as their own opinion, so if you get traction here it's like getting free labor.
Jackson Ward
>I don't even give a hoot about EGS but don't you hate Steam and prefer to purchase and be satisfied with games that are exclusive to the Epic Games Store from Epic Games, a subsidiary of Tencent, a branch of the People's Republic of China?
Jordan Thompson
i'll do that too, but first learn how to correctly use words in english
There's nothing wrong with other stores on PC. It helps create some kind of competition. I've bought shit on Steam, Blizz net, Origin, Uplay and GoG. Epic is pure shit with their only Lure being they pay off publishers to put their games there for one year. If their launcher wasn't complete shit and didn't have actual spyware in there, I wouldn't be too fussed about using it. Until then, Epic can fuck off.
Joshua Russell

Parker Lopez
see this is the type of shitpost I am talking about. We are both talking complete shit out of our ass to take sides in some utterly meaningless debate between two stores. So why are you shocked I pick the other one? At least most the shit I post is technically true.
The Epic Games store does not work on Linux. Steam works natively, lots of GOG Games (though no launcher) work natively. BattleNET, UPlay and Origin work through wine without trouble. Epic Games can fuck off
Jace Jones
>here's nothing wrong with other stores on PC. Right. You don't see anyone moaning about humble store, GMG, Nuuvem, etc like people are coming after epic games store, because none of those places are doing huge anticonsumer shit that makes the market worse like epic games store.
Noah Carter
The options publishers had for releasing there games around steams few years of starting out were Steam, Caliphs release, and GFWL. Physical was costly. GFWL was a travesty to deal with and Steam was just the best choice and the time. Hell Steam didn't even pay anyone to put there games on the service. Epic is actively making shit bad for everyone involved. Yes they get an extra 15% of funds but nobody is using the service because it sucks. They are buying up Games to exclusively sell on their platform nobody wants to use. Actively ruining sales for the games they have.
Chances are they would make more money if they just didn't force exclusivity.
Henry Edwards

Nobody seemed to attack the posts calling out the studio for lack of experiance, etc.

Epic exclusivity is an unnecessary red flag
But then again, like that other dev said. They've "accounted" for the losses, right? Kek
Henry Morris
>for whatever reason For a large payout?
Andrew Cooper
They "Made the choice" when given the options of take 15% less of a cut from steam or "get payed" to only be on a platform nobody wants to use while also getting 15% more from that store.
Publishers sees short term big numbers and think it's a good idea, but if the last 11 years have told us anything. Publishers and investors are bad at math and long term thinking.
Parker Carter

I mean I can't disprove it wasn't a paradox employee making the threads. But I doubt it, it wasn't even spamming he waited for bump limit and everything. People are jump to calling everyone a paid shill for any possitive or in this case more or less neutral fucking post.

Competition is two things doing the same thing and one coming out on top. This isn't a competition. It's like they are both playing basketball in different courts and Epic stole Steams ball and took it home with him.

I'd like to thank all the anons who post proofs of shills and their spam You're doing god's work boys Other than the /r9k/ thing there's YanGang and shit like pic related I used to get into arguments from guys with that discord over this, one of them showed me an old thread where a friend of the dead kid showed evidence that they were friends and then said the discord had nothing to do with the suicide The pic he posted as evidence of his friendship is gone but it seems like whoever was in the thread believed him
>This isn't a competition. What steam has with the dozens of stores that sell pc games that aren't epic games store is competition. It's literally textbook direct competition.
What they have with epic is a whole bunch of anti consumer clusterfuck where epic doesn't want direct competition.
Fuck epic.
Henry Nelson
This can't be happening. I just purchased $120 in Steam Wallet from GameStop just for the digital deluxe edition of Borderlands 3. It's just sitting in my Steam account anticipating the pre-order and now I'm not going to be able to buy it. I honestly don't know what to say. Go to hell Tim Sweaney of Epic Games Store!
Ryan Rogers
What exactly is the elusive marketplace and how is it threatened?
Blake Nelson
Funny thing is, I actually do have an Epic account, I used it to play Unreal Tournament 4. After they stopped developing because it didn't make Fortnite bucks, I unninstalled that shit and stopped caring about them since they stopped caring about their only game that I gave a shit.
And now they're pulling this shit and activelly making me dislike them more than I already did for abandoning UT4.
David Lewis
Ah, so it is a /pol/ thing. Thanks user.
Justin Morales
What the fuck are you talking about this started with me saying it was one guy spamming and the other user saying it's a group.
Does anyone even know what's fucking going in ITT anymore?
The PC marketplace and by purchased exclusives becoming normalized.
Colton Edwards
>Does anyone even know what's fucking going in ITT anymore? Congratulations. The sperg played with you and got away with his shit. Now watch how he'll make the same fucking thread after this one gets archived or deleted.
Jason Butler
Hey you can use google translate too.
William Nguyen
Not even Epic wants to normalize paid exclusives. They are just guaranteeing sales until they can reach a takeoff point. The end goal is free exclusives.
Hunter Reyes
Rehashes are easy to make.
Sebastian James
Like it matters. If he proxies and evades bans what can we do? He's basically immortal. I just used this thread for shitposting.
Dominic Allen
If Epic is paying hard dosh to devs to get exclusives, don't you think they'd pay 50 cents for random people to go on EVERY vidya discussion place in the internet to shill? Lol get a hint
Andrew Carter
The real problem is more that he's not technically breaking any rules
Mason James
spamming is againts the rules
Luis Johnson
not for a fucking second would i believe that, no
they'd pay them 5 cents
Jonathan Harris
You accepted digital downloads costing full retail price, you accepted no regional pricing, not owning your games, always online DRM, DLC, day 1 DLC, on disk DLC, preorder exclusive content, multiple launchers and accounts to play a single game, season passes, lootboxes and DRM that runs your games in a virtual machine, and this is where you draw the line?
Adam Rodriguez
That's not really an option for BL3 unless you like playing it alone it's already boring enough with friends
Leo Powell
Spamming and ban evading are against the rules.
Joseph Reed
"spamming" by the definition of the rules means more like rapid shitposting, not remaking a gay thread every few hours/days
Aiden Torres
I agree with your post for the most part. But what is wrong with >you accepted no regional pricing
Hunter Sanders
no, it means that too
Bentley Sanchez
Epic will BTFO itself once zoomers stop playing Fortnite and move on to the next fad. They can't keep buying devs forever, it's not sustainable.
Liam Gomez
It doesn't matter what they want to do, what matters is what they are doing. What they are doing is normalizing paid exclusives.

>"spamming" by the definition of the rules means more like rapid shitposting He has done that too.
Ita not so far fetched. There was that one guy who bought the red teams victory in the steam 2014 summer competition. Im pretty sure he did it out of spite for reddit trying """balance""" the competition.

Playnite, Launchbox, Manually adding things to steam. Congrats I gave you three solutions to being eternally cucked by Gabe. Not even a EGS thing. You are now free to buy games from GoG, as much as possible, or even dabble in Blizzard and EA games.
Landon Jenkins
Name one (1) EA or Blizzard game worth buying

Segmentation of the market is not a competition, retard.

>review bombing New Vegas. That will really show Take-Two. I also wonder why they didn't do that when an Actual Bethesda published game didn't release on steam...

I love how everyone is so distracted by the new "console wars" of epic-vs-steam that they don't even notice their hobby being burned to the ground all around them. You people are seriously some dumb fucks. You deserve everything you get. I look forward to saying "I told you so" this time next year.

I am just trying to help user. I use launchbox and it works great. Though The new list view kinda sucks, and I feel like the only focus on BigBox now. Still it is way better than keeping steam open.
Parker Mitchell
The fact that I, in a relatively well paid position, earn $1000 a month. And that's fine, I can make a living with it where I live. But video games cost the same for me as for Americans who earn 5 times as much. Back when we had actual boxed games, Steam's 75% deals barely matched local retail prices. If the game got a budget re-release in a single DVD box (you remember those gold/GOTY/whatever editions), it cost between $3 and $7. Find me a 3 years old AAA title I can have for that much on Steam.
Benjamin Foster
Exclusives are not "competition". It's funny how the same people saying Steam has a monopoly are ignoring how exclusives are pure 100% monopolistic behavior. It's a tactic designed to shut out everyone in the market except yourself. That is what a monopoly is. Steam has never done anything of the sort except with the games that Valve made themselves, which is not only respectable, but also expected.
Bentley Morgan
>some not all >one genre oof, oh no, somebody repeats himself, how about you reposting your posts constantly? how does that help?
Justin Bell
>. And that's fine, I can make a living with it where I live. But video games cost the same for me as for Americans who earn 5 times as much. That sounds like a (you) problem. >Back when we had actual boxed games, Steam's 75% deals barely matched local retail prices.

We don't need your help because we are completely content with Steam.
Elijah Morris
The ship of fighting for consumer rights in the vidya market sailed some 15 years ago bro.
Landon Cooper
You think you are, but you are not. You are like someone who thinks they are completely content with playing an FPS with a controller on their console with paid online. You are truly lost. That being said, as previously mention, you can manually add games to steam.
Camden Bell
Again, attempting to deflect any consumer concerns with >it's too late bro, let everything go to shit
Josiah Parker
If you can't accomplish your goals without shady, dishonorable tactics -- maybe you should find another goal. And EVERYONE is onto Epic's shit at this point. The #1 complaint is their use of exclusives to snipe at other markets and that is what everyone is so pissed off about. This has nothing to do with Steam or any other market. It's about Epic and their exclusives-sniping.
Lincoln Ramirez

Gabriel Jones
So anti-consumer practices are fine as long as they don't touch you personally? That's great, I don't buy games for a couple of years after release, so the EGS poses no issue. Glad that's all sorted out.
Robert Ortiz
This did absolutely nothing to refute his statement. You just changed the subject and ignored the problem.
Charles King
>somebody repeats himself Immediately making the exact same thread for weeks and even months and going so far to keep changing the hash of the images or the subject to avoid getting caught is more than "just repeating himself". >how about you reposting your posts constantly? how does that help? I post these so people realize that these kind of threads are made by an autistic faggot who will spam these threads and instigate flamewars (because this shit counts as flamewars) so they stop replying to them or taking them seriously.
Julian Nguyen
>It's about Epic and their exclusives-sniping. Epic shills, you need to tell your chink masters to stop doing that stupid anti-consumer practice, we may take Epic seriously.
>So anti-consumer practices are fine as long as they don't touch you personally? How is it anticonsumer? It is just aggresive price discrimination. >That's great, I don't buy games for a couple of years after release, so the EGS poses no issue. Glad that's all sorted out. I see you are a man of common sense as well.
Gabriel Young
you didn't change shit back then and won't accomplish anything now, have fun with your anger, retardCoin Flip: Tails
Luis Gutierrez
Literally nothing else Epic could do would get steam shills to take them seriously.
Ian Rogers
>I hate popular stuff! >Am I cool now?
Andrew Lee
so you're his personal stalker. how else are you failing at everything and want to show everyone how pathetic you are?
Benjamin Russell
At this point? No, absolutely not. You blew it
Ian Sullivan
OP is a Sonytard.
Tyler Powell
So epic shills are at this point actually just advocating for Epic Store by yelling that it IS as bad as everyone says it is but it's too powerful to stop. That's hilarious.
Michael Cooper
That's what I suspect mainly because it is tooo obvious.
Parker Moore
>twitter source >caring about soilands absolutely disgusting
Brody Lopez
>nothing else They didn't TRY anything else, did they?
Cooper Jenkins
>You blew it On the contrary they are the first challenger to take up a winning strategy. Just because you do not like it, does not change the fact that it is more effective than making a really good store for you to ignore.
Blake Allen
Don't overthink it. Most 'official' twitter accounts of employees are run by corporate. Half of the people they claim to by don't even have access to the account. This was likely an official corporate statement that they either put directly on his twitter or told him to put on there.
All these people's real twitter accounts with their uncensored opinions are private and make no mention of their job.

I am sure they will eventually. Origin actually tried pretty aggresively to be a good launcher, and literally nobody cared. They put their fingers in their ears and screamed. But it turned out that didn't matter though, and what made Origin actually move games was exclusivity. Tim is just taking a page from that.
Aiden Gonzalez
Makes senses, since nobody like the Epic shills posts. It's proof it's 2-3 people at very most. Why aren't mods perma-banning them though?
Daniel Brooks
It's been hilariously ineffective. You've become both the laughing stock of the industry and its hated enemy in record time. And you didn't even have to do anything SJW, lol
David Torres
>exact same post down to the letter as yesterday fuck off
Levi Thompson
I agree, fellow nintendildos, how else is it obvious that nintendildos are the most annoying fanbase?
I don't see anyone advocating for the EGS, just asking where the fuck were you when all those other bad precedents were being set.
Zachary Ortiz
I hope its april fools. But in any case Steam needs to get going. They are currently losing, not just to epic but so many games have left. Only Bethesda came back....
Tyler Garcia
Origin is pretty cool, to be fair. I don't use it heavily because I don't play a lot of EA games, but their return policy is 30-days no-questions-asked. Just like that. And the software itself is pretty fluid and not hard to work with.
I'm not saying I'd want to use it exclusively. Just that they are probably the best of the 'alternatives' - mainly because of that killer refund policy.
Isaiah Smith
>It's been hilariously ineffective. Lol. > You've become both the laughing stock of the industry and its hated enemy in record time. And you didn't even have to do anything SJW, lol Kinda like EA.

Joseph Wilson

Xavier Myers
>haha they win because they have more money u mad!
So at this point it's no longer about providing consumers with the best experience. You're just in a dickwaving contest. Assuming Epic gains major marketshare, I bet you'll continue fighting against everything you see as "pro-consumer" because you don't want daddy tencent to waste money on those evil entitled gamers.
>b-but you're a steam shill You'll continue hiding behind this for any criticism, and I pity you for it. I could call you stupid at this point. I could call you a retarded asshole. I could call you a million names. But considering your level of intelligence (or lack thereof) I think any one of them would be giving you too much credit.
Thomas Diaz
Ignore the pic. The real spam is in the link.
