Now that shitty western publishers are leaving Steam, there is more space for based Japanese publishers and devs.
Thank you Epic.

>anno
>AAA
What
Didn't the previous anno had a terrible drm or am I thinking a more previous iteration?

>Didn't the previous anno had a terrible drm or am I thinking a more previous iteration?
Yeah, and there were multiple instances where you couldn't play for days because of that shitty online only drm.

2205 got Denuvo added via a patch.

Tencent has baotloads of money tough. Once they decide to tkae over the rest of the company and pump in money you'd need someone like EA to play with them in a bidding war.

i personally had more issues with 2070 than 2205. 2205 has denuvo and so will 1800, so it might take an extra day or two after release before you can set sail and take to the high seas.

This saves me from having to pay Ubisoft to play Anno. Thanks for paying for my torrented copy, Epic Games.

shame it was a really nice game

well maybe with the cash infusion from daddy tencent ubi will invest in some fucking servers for this ga- oh who am i kidding all that happened is epic paid for yves guillemot's 12th vacation home.

It was 1404, but the beta for 1800 was mint.

Anno is the very definition of AAA retard, it might be the most AAA city builder to ever exist.

Steam literally had a little cry publicly about Epic.

lol yes
so in other words literally zero to point to buy it on epic or even steam for that matter.

In fact, Epic has paid for your pirated copy already. Their exclusivity deals offer guarantees sales. That means that Epic themselves buy copies, if sales fall below a certain point. So, in other words, Epic has literally bought your pirated copy for you. Now that you have no more morale obligation to buy the game, you can torrent at will, and sleep soundly at night. Thank you, Epic, for normalizing piracy! Gaben was right. It really is a service problem.

Bugmen are literally the biggest pirates on the planet, all the lead scene cracking groups are Chinks.

Not to mention the Epic store is less DRM than Steam, you don't even need the Epic Launcher installed, let alone running to play Epic Games.

Is there a reason every Anno game title adds up to 9?

So you were wrong, retard.

Running gag, soon to come to an end.

>Gets proven wrong
>Screeches about bugmen
Every time.

Eh, I don't mind, Ubi seem to eventually put their games on gog. I don't need to play everything on release, or I can pirate then buy later.

Man, uncle Lu must have really whipped his teenage kids into a frenzy for them to post this rabidly for their 0.01 social credit score a day.

Time to wait for it to get re released to steam in a few months. It's not like it matters anyways, the anno games all launch through ubisofts terrible ass launcher.

It's probably just a ploy to milk pre orders ans get that juicy epic money. It's not like the anno series holds up price - wise for a long time

>Pulling our game our game from Steam has been great for us, because UPlay Store pre-orders are six times higher.
All this means is that people would rather use Ubisoft's store than EGS.

What it means is Steam is irrelevant.

>you lived long enough to see the cancer that is steam fading away
replaced by aids, but I'll take anything over that shit. aids' manageable

I was already going to pirate it because it has Denuvo but now I feel even less bad about it.

>Let's tell them this isn't okay by pre-ordering the game on steam and not buying it on the epic store! that will show them!

You are proud and courageous, if only more of us could be like you and valiantly stand up for what we believe in screeching at the top of our lungs how we will not be denied our toys.

Watch the chinkoids lash out at you for doing the sensible thing.

No it doesn't you retard. People preferring motherfucking Ubishit's shitty launcher and store over the pile of cancer and aids which is the EGS means that the EGS is irrelevant, you stupid nigger faggot.

Given Steam is the thing that's been removed from the equation it quite literally means Steam is irrelevant to the success of PC games.

anno needs to go backwards
i wanna play anno 2106bc in egypt and anno 423bc in greece

>Anno 1800
Not even worth pirating

Really? Then where are the sales numbers? "X times the amount of Y" is nonsense PR speak.
There are raw numbers and there fake news, nothing else.

>I don't know how multiplication works.
Cute.
Perhaps we should start you off with addition before we move onto the big boy maths though.

I see you are suffering from shillism and have idiotic images saved to assist you

2070.

Raw numbers or fake news. Why aren't you posting data yet?

Still seething and incapable of dealing with the the truth, facts or forming anything even remotely resembling a coherent example I see.

Steam is a cesspool of Chinks and shovelware, and now that Chinks are Valves biggest earner, it's only going to get worse.

Perhaps even addition is too advanced for you, should we start with counting to ten? You can use your hands if it makes it easier.

haha
go back where you came from

>Gets presented with facts
>REEEEEEEEEE THAT'S FAKE
Every time.

>No argument
Sounds like you're from Reddit friend.

What facts? A nebulous statement that uplay sales increased from an unspecified amount to 6 times the unspecified amount?
Data or fake news.

it's the pirate's life for me

That nebulous statement has more credibility than you user, so have fun with your fiction and trying to spin your own little narrative to fit your personal prejudices, but no one is going to take you seriously because you're literally no one.

In addition to what other people have told your chinkshill ass, you are forgetting the rather simple fact that in order to play ubishit games, you need to go through the ubishit launcher regardless, and this doesn't make steam irrelevant because the sales(figures for which have not been provided yet, funny that) would be even higher if the game was on steam in the first place, you goddamned moron.

Nothing then. I win.

This is pretty rich coming from a chinkshill bubman soibitch like you.

I agree that those settings would be dope, but they wouldn't really be anno domini anymore would they?

Video games really need an equivalent of box office mojo.

>Epic holding games hostage yet again
And this is meant to be a good thing?

It's actually ubisoft being faggots.

>la la la la la la la la la
As I said user, no one is going to take you seriously when the facts contradict everything you say, when developers and publishers contradict everything you say, you can screech and scream and rant about bugmen all you want like the contrarian little sheep you are, but it doesn't change reality, and reality is, people are happily buying games on the Epic Game store, Steams iron grip is no more, and given Valve's utter complacency, total disregard for it's customers and selling out it's userbase at the first whiff of Chinese money, it's no loss at all.

Wake the fuck up.

it just depends on what setting you like more, old or future.
1404 and 2070 are both really good especially with their repetitive super mods.
and yeah the the whole AD thing was just for marketing, no reason the games couldn't go ancient

I honestly don't know, I've only been on the Anno train since 1404 but I was always under the impression that's what the title meant. I also assume plenty of people will lose their shit online if they broke the mould just like if they ever broke the 9.

Personally I'd love to see an Anno Roman period. They could easily keep the trend there.

Steam still wins for getting the master chief collection

There's literally nothing epic can do to counter that

Holy shit the irony levels from this guy is off the charts.

Anno is to autistic nerds what work simulator is to Germans, it's like a graphically enhanced version of popping bubble wrap, it's not AAA in any way, shape or form.

You should know by now that modern leftist doesn't care much for what he stands for, only what he stands against. Epic is a tool in their butthurt crusade against Steam ever since Gabe told them to fuck off with their book burning.

No really, you've swallowed the bugman pill with your eyes closed because all you care about is your post purchase rationalization and allegiance to Steam, you've never stopped to actually critically think about the big picture.

Steam is governed entirely by it's userbase, always has been, always will be. Epic doesn't even operate in China, meanwhile Steams largest userbase is now Chinks, they are the majority on Steam, Valve openly stated that this years focus will be servicing the Chink market. Chinks are now the driving force behind Steam and they are no longer interested in your money, it's not a priority for them and will never be again, you are an inconsequential minority. They're partnering with Chink companies, they're diminishing the quality of service for their existing userbase by flooding their platform with Chinks, when Steam is up for grabs in the next few years, which it will be, Chinks are going to buy it and you'll have spent years yelling and screaming whilst bending over for the one thing you've been yelling and screaming about.

You're the one trying to refute publishers and developers, not me.

I've got nothing to prove, you on the other hand, do, but alas, you're no one and seem to be painfully reliant on propping up your arguments with estrogenic fueled feels rather than facts.

If these games ever start selling they won't pay a dime. Its a self funding system if it takes off. Its evil.

Developers are free to make deals with whoever they please, that includes exclusive deals.

How many time publisher will do this before Valve will start to see red.

God I want a modern game like this so fucking bad.

Tencent is a ruthless Chinese conglomerate.
They didn't get half a trillion dollars ny pumping their money into things, seeing it fail, and then continually pumping more money into it until it stops failing.

They pump money into something.
If it doesn't perform? They cut their loses, squeeze whatever profit they can from it down to the last drop, and then move on to the next three things.

>Yes you do
No I don't, I can kick back, relax, watch exclusives get ripped away from Steam, watch those same exclusives go on to sell well.

It's evident that the market doesn't care where it gets it's games, publishers and developers are certainly much better off with Epic, meanwhile here you are, carrying on like a kid screaming about bugmen because you're so attached to your box of toys on Steam that the mere thought of all the kids going and playing elsewhere scares you.

Actually that's the complete opposite of how Tencent operates, especially with regard to games companies.

>Bugman still shilling hard for Epic
Man, he really needs those social credit points.

>watch exclusives get ripped away from Steam
But it was never going to be exclusive on Steam. It was always going to be for sale through uPlay. Time for you to lose at your own game of twisting the words, Chang.

>evident
>literally zero proof anywhere that any of these games are actually sell well on epic

>It's evident that the market doesn't care where it gets it's games
Except it does as the Metro and Division 2 sales prove more then enough, not something that you're capable to understand.
But screech some more how Epic will buy out everything while trying to rationalize them failing and losing more and more money. Hell, Sweeney himself even admitted that they can't operate that way any more and need to stop doing it or raise the cut on games.

Attached: kekd_(2).gif (350x254, 661K)

It's no longer going to be for sale on Steam after release, whereas previously it was, it's being ripped away from Steam.

How about you quit being a fucking retard and dancing around arguments and instead start participating in actual discussions? Or are you afraid you'll lose? So it's better to just keep calling everyone chang and bugman to deflect? Grow the fuck up or fuck off.

They're already heavily invested in Epic. They'll rather let them run themselves dry, then start to pump money into the company and buy the rest off Sweeny. Shit like that happens time and time again with gullible idiots who hit it big and don't know what to do about it.

But Metro and The Division sold better without Steam, not only that but the developers and publishers get a larger cut of those increased sales as well. It's win/win....and all of that is down to the market happily buying elsewhere.

Nice try though.

Metro sold like shit and the division 2 sold better on Uplay.

>Grow the fuck up or fuck off
Start with yourself Chang and for once try to be ratrional and argumentative instead of propping up your opinions with estrogenic fueled feels rather than facts.

"And I know that from a tabloid that quoted no sources and gave no numbers"

FUCKS SAKE I WANNA PLAY ANNO WHY DO I HAVE TO INSTALL CHINK SPYWARE

I've already won, Lu-Wong. I'm now going to enjoy Anno, without paying a single cent for it. I would have bought it if it came to Steam. Piracy is a service problem.

>But Metro and The Division sold better without Steam
Metro sold like fucking shit, fucking LLRedux sold boatloeads more and Divisdon 2 sold only well direclty trough UPlay and notr Epic store. You really should start to read the news your company releasees Cheng.

Yeah, so it sold better without Steam, that was my entire point, the market doesn't care where it gets its games.

There is no upside to developers releasing games on Steam anymore, Valve has shat the bed and the mere existence of the Epic Store has shone a massive spotlight on that fact.

You don't have to, just get it on Uplay.

>and all of that is down to the market happily buying elsewhere.

Not my fucking fault all your bugman names sound the same.

Publisher disagrees with you, until you can prove otherwise, fuck off, your word is worthless.

I'm still waiting for actual slaes numbers. If it sold so good you would expect them to release it to prove their point. You know, just like with, say, Subnautica that had 4 million downloads not sales.

There's no need to get upset, Peng. You can't help being born in the world's butthole.

Epicd disagress, not publishers. Goddamit Hua Wei, learn to fucking read the press releases.

>Publishers say otherwise, your word doesn't count for shit.
2.5 times the amount of copies Last Light sold, right? Not even the redux version, they're talking the original version. You know, the one that only sold 20k copies. Which means 50k copies for Exodus. They thought they could manipulate the facts through clever wording and not posting the actual sales figures themselves, but we're smarter than that.

Oh look, it's a retard using broken steam spy data again, why is it after the API change so many games defaulted to 0-20,000 sales despite the fact we know lots of those games sold MILLIONS of copies, hmm strange, it's almost like those numbers are completely irrelevant and steam spy is completely broken, but you wouldn't be a faggot if you let fact checking get in the way of your little narrative, now would you?
Publisher disagrees with you, until you can prove otherwise, fuck off, your word is worthless.

Last Light didn't sell 20k copies, so your entire argument is based on fallacy, not fact.

>Data mined long before the API fucked up
>It-it's not real! Help president Xi!

Except hat the data was taken before the API cahnge. I know, you're inacapable to understand that as you've made it more then clear by now that even a toddler eclipses you mentally. But cry some more, it's at least somewhat entertaining.

How much do those Anno Blablabla games even sell?

Seems like a niche of a niche.

Have redditors not figured out you do not have to keep these launchers running? They automatically launch if you click on the game.exe

You really should start to read your own press releases Huang Wei. It's getting emebrassing to read you shit.

>Steam bleeding
>AAA
yeah, no. First of all Anno isn't really popular outside of Germoney, despite what Ubisoft would like you to believe.
Second of all, the only reason they're going for Epic Games is because most of the people buying it would go straight to UPlay anyway, so they're not losing much except some "public image" that got damaged controlled by announcing it beforehand. And probably exclusivity cash from Epic or just the extra percentage making up for it

t. tard who's friends with Anno devs

That sucks. I was actually gonna buy this game too.

Yet another great non-argument, I don't know how you do it. Such wit, such insight, such creativity, it's not like you're just parroting the same shit adnauseam or anything.

Devs so far have said that it's about the extra cash and not the cut, otherwise the ywould go to the Discord store which offers an even better cut then what Epic has. I do wonder how much Epic had to pay to ubisoft tough.

Anno sells millions of copies, it's plenty popular outside of Germany, it's biggest markets aren't even Germany.

SteamDB says otherwise, Xiang.

Why is Epic paying money for a game that isn't exclusive to their store?
I bet Ubisoft is just looking for an excuse to take games off Steam because the 20-30% cut is hurting.

So you just posted numbers from something you yourself claim is broken. They really don't train you "influencers" well, now do they?

Anno is primarily sold on uplay. Boxed copies come with uplay. Every keystore sells uplay keys.

I mean you didn't, in fact you just kicked yourself in the nuts without realizing it, but since that's something that isn't permited in your bugworld you'll keep on claiming that you "won" somehow.

Because it's the only way for them to get games on their store and maybe even sell them. Otherwise everyone would go to steam simply for it being the better store.

Sure, honey. You "won". Go pay $60 for a license to access Ubisoft's servers. Meanwhile, the adults will be pirating the game.

Really, because I could swear I just proved that Last Light actually sold well over a million copies, not the 20k you claimed, meaning it sold amazingly on Epic, I also proved that since the API change Steam Spy is FUCKED.

Do fuck off now kid, you lost, and now you're going to have to come up with a whole new bullshit argument to push your little narrative as yet another has been torn apart by facts.

Did you even read the article. They had six times more sales FROM UPLAY than the previous title. Not total sales. A sudden surge in sales for a specific launcher when you have taken away the major alternative means the game only sold better on their platform BECAUSE it wasn't available on Steam.

It's classic shareholder meeting talk. "In these specific circumstances, we did really well the last quarter" As an accountant, I'm told to dress shit up like that all the time.

Man, this one insectoid is getting MURDERED. Anyway, I'm done pulling out legs. I'm going to bed, which was made in China, probably by the shill's uncle or something.

Steam Spy Data HAS changed since the API change.
Last Light did NOT sell 20k copies in it's lifetime, but well over a million.

That was the entirety of my argument and faggots got BTFO because they were too caught up in spinning their own narratives to fact check.

>Tencent is a ruthless Chinese conglomerate. They didn't get half a trillion dollars ny pumping their money into things, seeing it fail, and then continually pumping more money into it until it stops failing.

Clearly you know nothing about Chinese economics. China has been loading up on debt the moment they started taking over manufacturing for the world. The secret to becoming a modern superpower isn't to have people indebted to you, it's be indebted to the world. If you owe everyone $500 they will just stop talking to you are write you off. If you owe everyone a trillion dollars, they want to see you fucking make returns and will loan you more to keep you floating. They will try and sell your debt to each other and your stability is key. China is one of the only real nations on Earth, everyone else just runs sideline through corporate boards and conglomerations.

Unless they really fuck it up between the beta and release, 1800.

they already released a demo for it and it was great

We've been doing this for since December now

Having no data is an argument now?

All I did was debunk anons bullshit claims with readily available data.

If you have access to LL initial week sales on Steam, feel free to share, otherwise you can fuck off.

That is a really dumb, simplistic way to look at it. Greece, Germany, and even the UK have all completely failed economically in the past and didn't pay back debts. The US flat out told Britain once it wasn't going to pay them back and that was just the end of it. Because they didn't want to go to war.

China is a bubble and a bad investment. There are no returns. The only way to get anything from China is to use it and abuse it. Your dumbass logic is to give a crackhead more money because they can smoke more crack but maybe sell some too and pay you back. That doesn't work.

Valve drones are so desperate now that they will shit on any game that is on the Epic store. As their desperation increases, you'll see them start shitting on any game using UE4, too.

>Your dumbass logic is to give a crackhead more money

I love it when anons make completely nonsensical analogies. China is partially a bubble but it has a solid foundation and that is their manufacturing. Your examples are terrible because they don't take into account the times. So look at current America, China and Japan. Both are financially the largest superpowers on the planets and have so much debt poured into them so they can't really fall. It would take the EU 30+ years to be able to not bother with them.

Bubbles are better applied to countries which are unnoticeable and there's many more case studies. Take Ireland for example, they floated by and then once the market had a bit of turbulence they popped. Australia also follows this same route, their current election choices are either "continue the bubble scam" or "develop a stable economy".

Your crackhead analogy is so fucking retarded and reductionist. Which is why your opening sentence of "that is really dumb, simplistic" is hilarious.l

Nah nigga, you're really just too stupid to read a simple fucking article and realize why we're even having this discussion in the first palce.

user you clearly missed the point as to why the stats are retarded in the article. They can be correct but the actual logic is retarded behind them.

X = 90% of sales
Y = 10% of sales
Removal of X means Y went up by a factor of 7
now Y is 70% of the sales and Z paid us 5 million and has 30% of the sales.

Let's completely ignore that we lost total growth in sales and push the store taking over 70% of our unit sales.

Do you understand the logic user. They shoot themselves in the foot but then talk about how the overhead is cheaper with 3 toes.

Division games are for casuals

Ofc he does. All their information comes from sending less then a week in here after crossing the great firewall. That's why you see the saem insults the whole time, it's all they've managed to learn in that timeframe.

If that's not enough spoon feeding for you, there's nothing more I can do for your retarded faggot ass.

Run along and play in the street kid, let Darwin do his thing.

Do you know how money works? They're not even buying permentant exclusivity. Doesn't matter how well fortnite or unreal is doing if they keep dishing out millions for timed exclusives.
All it takes is for one of their exclusives (most likely Phoenix Point) to bomb and they're in the red. Why do you think EA is laying people off after a bad quarter?

>No because Epic can only keep doing this for so long without making any sales, the money will run out sooner or later
They have enough money to do this for 3-4 more years. I honestly can't endure that. I hate Epic more than EA, Activision and Ubishit. I hate them more than I have ever hated EA and their stupid store has only been out for about 4 months. PC gaming was going so well than these fuckers showed up out of nowhere like denuvo. I wouldn't be surprised if they were funded by sony.
