Hello Ching, how’s the weather in chink land?

borderlands 3 isn't even worth pirating

Competition doesn't work in a digital environment. Always leads to exclusivity. You need about four streaming services now to watch the same shit you could just watch all on Netflix years ago.
Exclusivity should be limited to the platform's first party content. Fortnite and Unreal Tournament should be EGS exclusive, and all the other games should be available on more platforms.
For the record, I think it's also retarded when a game is on only Steam and not others.

If epic wants to be competition then they should put games on both their store AND steam, since epic is such a great store in all and it can apparently pass the savings onto the customer (which it isn't and they don't)

Epic is a fucking terrible store that can't stand up to steam so they have to throw fortnight bucks at monopolising to FORCE the consumer to download their shitty chink malware system. I didn't care for fortnight before but now I'll never even look at it because fuck epic.

I literally said they should put the game on both the epic store AND steam and let the consumer choose, that's literally what compitition is. PLENTY of other games are on both steam and other storefronts and you can always shop around for key. Stop defending fucking anti-consumer practices because you have a mindless hateboner for steam.

Yes, retard.

Well,I could spend literally 10 years going through my backlog on Steam alone and never replay a game, so it’s not like I need this game day one. Just like TOW, Metro Exodus, etc. Fuck these guys. I’ll buy it for $10 on sale in a couple of years.

Furthermore, EGS is not competing, it's monopolizing. Nothing good ever comes out of that.

WE NEED THIS POST DELETED RIGHT NOW!!!!

I keep seeing it thrown around but the only source is Pitchford suggesting 6 months exclusivity is what he's fine with, but also said in the same string of tweets he had "no control" over the distribution.

Store exclusivity is absolutely retarded. Yes, some games are inexorably tied to Steam, but there are actually very few games genuinely exclusive to Steam (which I also dislike). You can buy them off other sites. Not to mention EGS is competing with a platform that's been around for 15 years and is safer, more robust and feature rich. Steam's about to add Valve-provided dedicated servers for game devs to use, Epic doesn't even have a Steamworks equivalent yet.

I don't want to visit different hardware stores because one of them has bought off hammer manufacturers. And it's in a shitty neighbourhood that's a long drive away.

Last Light was a small niche game that was a sequel to a small niche game. Exodus was a massive AAA title that made appearances at multiple E3 shows.

Let me put it this way. Do you think Exodus would have sold the same as LL on Steam if EGS didn’t exist? If you do you’re a 75 IQ retard like every game journalist.

Being a market leader and being a monopoly are 2 completely different things

But still, the news is confirmation that the Epic Games Store is not the death sentence its naysayers claim it is.

Seriously I hope you die a fucking horrible death. You are the literal bottom of the barrel humanity wise.

I had an epic game store account but had to close it due to getting 5 to 8 emails a day about someone trying to get into my account.

Because I think steam’s feature set is a baseline for PC gaming, Epic has almost none of it, and I don’t trust them.

Publisherfags kill yourselves over this.

Why not just release on multiple storefronts and if consumers want to better support you they'll buy on Epic?
Why do you care more about money than making consumer choice?

>Why not just download Epic game store icon and buy the game there?
Epic store has leaked info not long ago, having account with email adress from that leak ends up on 10 emails from Epic telling you that your account is not safe a day, basically a nascence.
>Why do you care more about Steam than just playing games?

It's less butthurt about competition, it's more that people are angry that the publishers decide to take away their freedom of choice when it comes to which platform to buy the game on, especially when they release it exclusively on such a consumer-unfriendly plaform as Epic. I mean, if Epic actually made a good storefront with all the essential features and none of the spyware shit I wouldn't have a problem buying games on their platform. Sure, it would still suck to be FORCED to use their platform to play certain games, since I'd still prefer to buy the games on Steam, but at least I wouldn't compromise my own privacy by installing their launcher.

And do they really want me to believe it sold better on the Epic Games store, which is basically a newborn at this point, better than the well estabilished Steam which has over 90 million users? The only thing Epic had before the exclusives was Shadow Complex and Fortnite, do they really want me to believe the fucking Fortnite kids bought Metro Exodus in droves?

Shut the fuck up Xiang. How is holding a game hostage for 6-12 months anywhere remotely close to competition?

Steam has always been in competition. Initially it was with file hosts that distributed news, patches, betas, games, mods and so on. Those sites had a poor monetization model (they queued file downloads, unless you paid). Steam outmoded them, but in the transition you ended up with things like Origin, uPlay, Battle.net, EGL (prior to it being a store), Bethesda etc... This is without consideration for physical retail, piracy, different distribution models like self-distribution, or mixed distribution.

Valve just did a good job, they offer a comprehensive app that had voice comms, package management, news, community resources including forums, friends lists and they had good games packaged with it. Now they have a catalogue and a matured platform to launch games off of.

Stop begging for shit you don't understand.

Fuck no. If there's one thing that should be taken from this whole debacle is exclusivity fucking sucks and every game should be sold at every store. You don't have GTAV be a Walmart exclusive why the fuck should I have to go to a store with no features I don't give a fuck about to buy the games I want?

i'm not up to date on chinese politics. please educate me /pol/

Somewhere out there Tim Sweeney is going "just as planned" as he wants Valve to throw money around to counteract Epic's exclusivity deals in order to bankrupt Valve.

It's actually quite a brilliant plan.

It isn't a fucking monopoly. That's like saying Walmart is a monopoly even though it's always across the street from a fucking Kroger or Safeway. Steam is the market leader, it competes with literally everything else, including consoles, web distribution platforms, and the likes Discord, EGS, Origin, Battle.net, Bethesda, uPlay, GOG, thepiratebay, and so on. You're fucking deluded to think it has a monopoly because it is the market leader.

What Epic is doing is not competition
Bribing devs to stay off of Steam is not competition
Strongarming consumers into using a platform that offers nothing to them that's worth switching for by holding anticipated games hostage behind their platform is not competition

You don't even have to feel bad since epic pays the devs

I'm just sick of so many launchers. I have Steam, EA and the Ubisoft one. I don't want any more. Also fuck China.

Exclusivity isn't competition. Competition implies choice.

Competition: Three stores offer a product. One store offers it 10% off. Another store offers a BOGO. One store offers a bonus accessory.

Not Competition: A store buys out the rights to the product in order to force people to only go to their store to get the product, even if the rest of the store is subpar in its selections.

Games aren't like a cleaning or food product. There is no buying an 'alternative' to Borderlands. You can buy another looter shooter, but its not the same experience.

Honestly how can Pcbros exist today? Valve has literally spat in the faces of every old fanbase they had.

STEAMDRONES GONNA SCREAM

>Thinking steam is the only pc store

> believes that dlsite and playism were competing with steam

Are you implying trump is owned by China?

how come no one adresses the price discrepancy too?
steam regularly has sales of up to 90% off.
epic games entire shtick is that the savings are passed on to the consumer but many games cost more on the epic games launcher. i dont see any savings. there dont even seem to be nay sales.

>Appeals to companies instead of consumers

They literally gave away free games for the past few months. Not shit ones either.

I said va.lve drones but forgot it got filtered

cant wait for rdr 2 to be announced as an epic exclusive.

>Steam at least two times a year
>"Here's some sales from 10% all the way to 90% off! We even have free games whenever your want!"
>EGS
>"Here's some free games but we won't lower the price for these specific games since we removed the competition"

Neither is eating at Olive Garden vs eating at Carrabba’s or Big Mac+Fries vs Whooper+Fries, but you don’t see people complaining about Carrabba’s big proportions to Olive Garden or how Burger King has a better burger and better fries than McDonald’s.

Well, if I’m going to be honest, he is owned by another foreign nation, like every president since Carter.
It’s just not China.

Wouldn't "its" be more gramatically correct?

Any game being exclusive to Steam wasn't a result of the devs/publishers being paid off like Epic has been doing

It's about as competitive as holding a gun to my head and forcing me to do something. When people aren't given choices, then it may be competition, but it's not going to help anyone. Their store is absolute trash, but if you want to play certain games, you don't have a choice. If they had released the game on both storefronts, nobody would be complaining except for a few idiots.

Gog is doing just fine despite not having the same userbase or features
Epic has some bizarre vandetta against Steam it feels like.

Imagine browsing trannyERA unironically and being a mobile poster.

Zoomers were a mistake.

There's nothing to explain it's horseshit.

>GoG is doing just fine
By being a literal cuck for Steam?

>giving money to chinks that forces me to use their launcher or wait a full year so they can have a monopoly
>all while putting spyware in the computer
>unable to buy the game in any other store or forced to buy a console
Nah. Going the pirates way is much better

>i don't know what a basic words used in marketing means, therefore it is a buzzword
Kill yourself.

But that's competition. Steam is going to win by default in that scenario because epic has a garbage store. Maybe if they took a few days to actually implement some useful features or something, people would use it. If they started doing that, steam wouldn't have a choice but to fix their garbage as well. Right now, the only way steam can compete is by buying out exclusives as well. I'm pretty sure nobody wants that.

.>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER 20 SECONDS TO OPEN A DIFFERENT CLIENT TO PLAY A GAME
Valve did nothing to stop or prevent this. They were to busy stroking their cocks in their cashflow. Its about time they got some competition, now they'll hopefully release a new game that isn't a fucking cash cow ready to be milked.

Olive Garden owns their unique food and recipes. It only makes sense for them to serve at their establishment. If you want to use a food analogy, this would be like a small obscure chain buying out the Big Mac recipe.

>all these replies
Valve shills working overtime. I wonder how much they're paid.

Or how about they fucking cuck Steam out of games? Less effort and they earn money while adding more shit to the store

>Epic has some bizarre vandetta against Steam it feels like.

This didn't start with Epic, it's the same reason EA moved their games to Origin despite a hit to sales: because Valve are so fucking greedy.

>Two stores offer a product
>One is kept clean, well lit, organized, has friendly staff, a good return policy and lots of parking

Maybe the fancy store should have made a counter offer if they're so well off instead of exploiting Campbells by giving them such a tiny cut of sales.

STEAMBRONY GONNA SCREAM

Anyone know if that spacewar thing is still working on steam? If yes than there's literally no reason to not pirate the game.

Just because you ignore it doesn't mean it's not true

You act as if we haven't listen countless reasons as to why Steam is the superior platform. Epic is as barebones as it gets, even if you disregard the Chinese botnet stuff.

Epic also owns their own games that they bought the rights to, with the publisher/devs agreeing to such a deal.
These games won’t even be exclusive forever.

this

Epic doesnt own Borderlands. They're paying for a 6 months exclusivity contract. As to why the developer agreed its unknown considering they almost certainly would make more on Steam long term than the burst of guaranteed profit from Epic.

Just because you say it, doesn’t make it true either.
Saying it 20x per hour also doesn’t make it true.

>why steam is the superior platform
Because they are a monopoly with zero competiton lmao

>monopoly
>can buy games anywhere else

ok

And they try to pretend their's no Epic shills
I wonder if there's even a single genuine Epic poster on Yea Forums

Evidently not. They're a monopoly due to others not trying for so long until recently. Plenty of competitors could make a service as good as them. Steam doesnt force exclusivity deals. They were just the only choice for a long time.

Publisher, not developer. 2K got the cash from EPIC probably
