Borderlands 3 is exclusive to a launcher you can download for free for a set amount of time

I have no desire to install another launcher. Between all Steam, Battle.net, and GoG? Who would willing want more processing bloat?

I'm gonna torrent it like I did the other games.

>want to pay to Epic to steal and sell his personal data
yikes!

How much is it gonna cost when it comes to steam?

What program is used to see this shit.

Free to a launcher that will mine your information from your Internet settings and files to your steam information for free for all the time you have it installed.
Yeah. No thank you. Would rather it be on any other launcher or Console exclusive at that point.

Fucking hilarious how Valve drones say they'll just pirate it. Oh yes I'm sure you'll enjoy your coop loot shooter playing alone with your pirated copy.

Boycott the game completely. Never buy it on any platform. You really don't need to play it anyway.

Unlikely.

anal sex is free as well but somehow people aren't very enclined to try it

Agreed. I'll let the Epic beta testers deal with the first few months of balancing and patches. Doesn't change anything for me if I get it next year.

Based
Thanks for the bugspray

I’ve never played a single game on pc, what’s the issue with downloading the epic games launcher thing? Can’t you just get it and steam together?

>client is the problem

on the superficial level. real problem is you're giving your info, and seemingly access to shit like certain steam-stored info, to a company where chinese hold 40% stake at. for now, mind you.

>implying I didn’t play the other ones solo

Here is the bottom line.
2k is being payed to put it on Epic game's store. And will be payed again when nobody buys it because of Epics policy to reimburse lost sales.
2k knows this isn't going to sell on epic so they are milking the profit of the games lost sales.
Then when they release it on steam and get all of the games audience back they will be swimming in far more money then if they just released it to everything.

Greed is a hell of a thing.

It hasn't been actually confirmed confirmed, but people have spotted Epic logos on trailers, and on the site the only preorder options for pc are retail and epic game store. They're probably just not going to announce it formally to avoid the backlash.

When did they introduce this? 1 and 2 were fine, and had only a bit of the whole "girl power" thing (nothing egregious). Was Tales or Pre Sequel pretty bad or something?

The fuck you on about? I'd get it on the piece of shit known as the Xbone before I got it on fucking Epic.

I fucking hate vinny and being a radical centrist on everything he talks about, playing devils advocate and shit. He needs to fucking pick a side and stick with it and not being this wishy washy faggot all the time.

This, I expect nothing but a group of "Anti-Epic Gamers" all showing as playing Borderlands and Outer World on Epic.

>no regional prices so i cant buy it
welp it is their loss, i will pirate it when soneone cracks it.

>for a set time

Kek, it's not going to Steam at all. Randy himself confirmed.

> enjoy your coop loot shooter playing alone with your pirated copy.

There was already hints of this shit happening in 2 and if the game was released like a couple years later it would have been full of SJW shit guaranteed. But apparently they fired their writer who put in that garbage in the first place so hopefully that means it will be more reigned in. The pre-sequal was even worse in that aspect as well as little to no farming potential or replayability.

When was this confirmation? Because multiple sources just say April of 2020 for steam.

friends through hamachi or tunngle

>buying looter shooters in current year
Thanks for killing the industry, y'all. Appreciate it.

Not really, it's just as fun single player.

jk on you i dont have anyone to play with anyway

BUT THEY ARE TAKING MY DATA
NOW THE CHINESE WILL KNOW I BUY DILDOS AND ONLY PLAY VNS ON STEAM NOOOOOOOOOOO

They'll play defiant for a day at best, the moment their other friends buy it and start playing it they'll immediately fold and jump in. Like every other retarded boycott. All it takes is some gameplay footage of people having fun or a friend buying it and it's over.

>But apparently they fired their writer who put in that garbage in the first place so hopefully that means it will be more reigned in.
But then Hired him back temporarly to write the 3 worst scenes in Tales from the Borderlands.
Anthony Burch will probably worm his way back into Gearbox for 3.

>There was already hints of this shit happening in 2
Weird. I didn't even notice it. I am generally able to ignore that shit anyways. Messages only work if people listen to them bla bla bla.
I couldn't get very far through Pre Sequel though, because it was too Australian and that seemed really weird considering the lack of Australian accent in the other games. It really put me off. And yes, I understand it was developed in Aus - that's no excuse to fill it with that twangy accent.
What SJW shit was in Pre Sequel?

That's just being a faggot to the BL community.

Isn't it only BL1 that's getting an enhancement?

Not him but 2 was riddled with that girl power bordering on SJW angle. It was all about the Sirens (turning it into a series thing) you had Moxie's story and the little crazy girl stories both being a little on the nose. Then the DLC had the ongoing jokes about the Macho Man dude respecting women as a rule he vocally announced and the D&D stuff with the girls being just as good as the guys.
It was minor but the jabs were repeated.

Who ever said it would be 100% pozzed if it came out a few years later was right. They were constantly straddling the edge as it was.
This is all if you choose to see it that way of course. You can just as easily ignore it, mostly.

>The 3rd probably has like 5 sirens.
Yeah, but at least 2 of those will be established characters.

the second game was the first game to make them recurring aspects of the series. Lilith is a douche to Brick and Mordecai and bosses them around the same way your typical feminist does.
She is the leader in raising the little retard girl like she is normal and her behavior is okay. Same thing lefties do with our mentally deranged.

It is not a console.

The first game outright tells you that the universe holds 6 sirens at any given time.
And seeing as you only see two of them and the third was revealed to you as your guardian angel in 2 and that one of the sirens die in 1 you could expect that if they ever make any sequels than sirens will continue to show the fuck up because we haven't seen the other 3.

Bobandy isn't at the helm on this. 2K/T2 owns the publishing rights and 12% is better than valves 30% cut.

Get this though your fucking skulls people.

Publishers(and every other giant corporation Valve included and you are deluded if you think they are exempt from similar shit behavior) DO NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU AND ONLY CARE ABOUT YOUR WALLET.

If you want games to go back to being on Steam, Valve needs to get their act straight. Even if devs don't get jack shit, a flat 30% cut is insane for a digital platform.
At this point, just go the EA rout and cut out the middle man and have every publisher have their own platform.

youre just fucking wrong the only reason they go to epic is because they pay a shitload in advance so the loss of sales is compensated

Enjoy your shit game I guess, but stop making so many threads about it.

He means that publishers would make more money on steam because of a larger consumer base if it wasn't for the massive payout that Tencent is giving publishers to go exclusive on epic.
The 30% and 70% refers to the market share that epic and steam have respectively (even though that assertion makes no sense and disregards all other platforms and shit like that)

Enjoy your shit life I guess, but stop shitting up my threads with your stupid comments.

But that doesn't make any sense.
If people really want to buy the game on PC, they'll just download the client regardless.
And the people who don't want to deal with it, will just get the game six months down the line when it releases on Steam anyway.

And the rest will just pirate the damn thing.

So who fucking cares at this point?
The funny thing is that Valve created this situation by STILL thinking they could charge 30% to the publishers when there are more beneficial alternatives.

>The funny thing is that Valve created this situation by STILL thinking they could charge 30% to the publishers when there are more beneficial alternatives.
So when are we going to get people standing up to Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo if the 30% take is so terrible?

It's not even that. According to steam would somehow install the Epic Store. Whoever made it is probably from plebbit and has no fucking clue what he shopped in the first place.

>So when are we going to get people standing up to Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo if the 30% take is so terrible?
But do they? I don't know how muc they take but here's a key difference you're forgetting: Their customers are also using their hardware.

Valve doesn't have such an excuse. The PC market isn't sustained by one hardware company or another. But the console market has to account for shit on the manufacturers end.

>never gave a shit about steam vs epic
>borderlands 3 is only on Epic
>whatever
>it costs more than it should be in my country
wew lad

How can something cost more than it should be?
"Should be" according to who?

>But do they?
Yes, 30% is the industry standard
>but here's a key difference you're forgetting: Their customers are also using their hardware.
And? The consoles charge people to play online even if they don't use the platform holder's servers for all games so they already take more from their users

Google and Apple also take 30%. Almost as if everyone was okay with it and saw it as normal given the services provided until Epic shat the bed and convinced Indies that it's the cut that takes their money away and not their shit games that nobody buys.

>60$ steam game = ~240
>60$ epic store game = 250
And the deluxe editions are even more expensive

Turns out Epic Games's 12% doesn't compensate for poorer regions increased payment processes.
So they just slapped it ontop of the price.

Go figure.

>The consoles charge people to play online even if they don't use the platform holder's servers for all games so they already take more from their users
You chalk that up to outright greed from Sony and company that occured from this gen(don't forget that PS3 and 360 had none of that shit). But again, they GET to name their cut because it's also their hardware and their infrastructure.
>Google and Apple also take 30%
And google and Apple have always been shittastic so i ain't surprised.
But i can actually be more forgiving to Apple because they own and operate iOS.

Google has got noooo reason to be charging that much.

What? If they're both sixty bucks then there's no error. There's probably a bumfuckistan tax put on it on the epic store because dealing with your shitty euro countries is annoying as hell.

>And google and Apple have always been shittastic

Tell me how they tried making Youtube a Netflix competitor. How did that turn out?

Just more proof epic doesn't give a shit about customers.
They only reason they gave out $10 coupons for Metro: Exodus in the USA was so their gamejourno sycophants could report it was 10 bux cheaper than on steam after the move. The rest of the world paid full price or worse.

does steam have a referral code system that pays out when people use your code?
i've noticed the streamers who are shilling for borderlands on epic have a creator code that does just that.

just wondering if there is a correlation there, since i see more content creators have been openly shilling for epic

congrats, you alone single handedly saved the industry

There's probably a correlation there.

Nah, this is just the beginning for the EGS. Pirate all you want, but shit-eating Fortnite players are going to make the casuals that killed the industry in 2007 look like niche hardcore gaymurrs. Steam won't die, but it's never going to be the same from here on out.

Bro, gonna pirate it the day the crack is out. I just like this series enough to actually buy it at some point. But on epic? Fuck no, would prefer something like gog better, but steam is ok

Do you have the full list for every launcher?

Honestly the Fortnite kids don't buy games. Epic's own Sergey said as much when doing Steamspy analysis on free-to-play games like Dota 2. Those players play their one game and largely don't buy other games on that sales platform. It's the reason Epic needs to poach exclusives from Steam and GOG

I didn't spread any info. I just made a joke about pirating the game

Hmm are you sure about that

>>That's why they're spending money to advertise games to people who don't buy them
They're not advertising games to people that don't buy them. They're trying to poach users who primarily use Steam and GOG because they need regular customers on their store who actually buy things that aren't Fortnite microtransactions

Yeah, thanks.

Fucking hell, the more you learn about it, the worse it becomes.

Pirate you dummy. Borderlands games have LAN play so you can use a program like Hamachi or Freelan to play with other people who pirated

It's also a smart car that drives you into oncoming traffic.

Once upon a time Steam was just a bloated launcher for 1.6 that failed to connect 95% of the time and remained that way for months. You Valve drones are probably too young to remember.

It does everything it needs to. Not everyone needs social networking spyware attached to everything you do.

If BL1 was anything to go by the ratio of co-op to SP players is about 50:50 and that's just judging by players who played co-op, basically, once.

epic did say they can check steam data because its belong to the user, not valve

I don't like the company behind it. I'm not particularly interested in the games they have, aside from mild interest in Metro, but my dislike for epic gaym devs is stronger.
>inb4 stop talking then
That's what the majority does. It's only a small fraction of people sucking epic's dick desu.

Just pirate it you fucking dumbo.

It's 6 month plus because it's such an unnecessary feature that they aren't gonna spend time to implement it until they've done most other stuff.
They don't hire a team of programmers for every feature, and then fire them when the feature is complete. They have the team that works on their application, and they have priorities for which features to incorporate first.

Since a lot of the stuff is fairly complex, and needs a lot of testing, it takes time to program it all.

I'll fix your analogy

Ultimately this is my issue with the whole thing.

Your issue isn't with the launcher, it's the fact that it's a launcher, so why are you defending the other 3 launchers?

>trying this hard

>food analogy

>Said the retard
I wish Yea Forums was 25+.

Thats a good point actually. The epic store doesn't really have enough games to warrant a cart, and it doesn't have sales so buying alot of games at once there never happens.

My favorite part is how people keep mentioning it’s the Devs that benefit when in reality the devs got paid for their work ages ago and the only people laughing all the way to the bank are the publishers.

>No argument

That does depend. Phoenix Point are the developers and publishers so they got the money directly. Same goes for all the smaller titlles as well.

>Y-yeah b-but Steam was bad 12 years ago so that excuses the Epic store today! By 2037, we might have a shopping cart!

>Get BTFO with your own shitty food analogy
Every time lmao

But in this particular case it’s all I keep hearing, about how this is good for the dev, etc.

If there's no shopping cart how do you buy games? :thinking:

Deus Ex Human Revolution taught me to never ever accept something manufactured by a chink for free

It's not the other three launchers specifically, it's that Epic is ANOTHER launcher coming late to the game. It's inconvenient, when Steam has been doing everything it could to make PC gaming as convenient as possible for the past 15 years. No one actually likes switching between Steam, Uplay, Origin, and Battle.net just to play games. At the core of it, Epic is just another layer of inconvenience that has become too much for a lot of people.

Buy em one at a time

>instagram
You don't have to lie user

this

It's an analogy, user.

Given it's only 6 months, I am guessing they plan to release some kind of DLC with it at the sametime.

So, I expect, the game will be out by then and discounted to the point where the DLC+Game are about 50~60USD anyway

Why do I need the Epic launcher for that? Just give me DRM free games if you're not going to have any fucking features.

Cite your sources

It won't, Randy said that he wanted bl3 to be possible to play offline, and on LAN.

Based Tencent paying for games so that we don't have to

I come to you all today with a proposition. A bit of an operation against our man, Randy Pitchford, that will stain the game and Epic in the process.

Remember the USB stick? Remember all the allegations from it? What if we brought those all back into the media's eyes for a while? Any media company would jump at the chance for clicks and making Randy, the main face of the Epic sellout and possible pedo would make a combo that any site would plaster on the frontpage.

A plan is needed, so I shall lay a skeleton for it.
>1. Resurgance
Simply start by talking about it more in multiple places. Yea Forums, Reddit, ResetEra, Twitter especially needs to be a place for it. Talk about it and say how you heard awful things about what he's done to get away with it. @ Epic, news sites, and the gaming lefties about how they feel about a possible pedophile being given the spotlight for a big company like Epic and Gearbox. Stir up the hive basically.
>2. Treat with more medicine
Continue step 1 until major responses have been given or until enough attention is on it for it to break a bit into the gaming crowds online more.

Prepare for step 3 by saying people have been wanting to actually hurt Randy because of all this, some going as far to lay out plans for it.

>Step 3 THE STUFF
We create a fake article screencap for multiple sites saying that Randy was assaulted and robbed in the late night in public by a group of self proclaimed activists who didn't want such a disgusting man to be at the head of a company, siting MeToo as their inspiration.

A few days later we will circulate that his USB was stolen there at the scene to prove the allegations, thus making Randy look like an actual pedophile. Some lolifag will post their folder, a bit of changing here and there and we'll send it to news jounros.

If we really do this, it could have actual consequences for how Randy and Gearbox looks to the public. Especially since they're partnered with Epic now.

All kinds of 3rd party exclusives (especially on PC) are bad. Full fucking stop. Anyone who defends them is a corporate rimjobbing waste.

Epic by their own admission has ZERO interest in users or competing for them (or any real competition at all -they just want their own little fiefdom no matter how shitty), and instead try to get publishers under their thrall. That in and of itself is shitty.

\Their client is shitty and doesn't have any of the features of Steam, much less compatibility. It also doesn't support Mac/Linux properly etc... not to mention any of the literal decade+ things that Steam have released as OPEN SOURCE (ie SteamVR, Proton) that make gaming a more open thing and better for PC gamers. Hell Remember when Japanese developers didsn't really port things to PC a couple of years back or if they did it was without multiplayer? Steam's drop in multiplayer/Steamworks features basically made it possible to get Japanese titles onto PC! Steam EARNED their fucking place at the table and still continue to do so.

Epic came down, shit on everyone's plates and started demanding that we just eat. Fuck off.

Who the fuck cares. It's borderlands. I wouldn't even pirate shit that gearbox made.

Okay now this is epic

Oh and lets pretend that some of you don't care about all the rest of this or say "I'll buy when it comes to Steam."

Remember that this will mean 1 of 2 things - either 1) When it finally comes to Steam, its likely that Gearbox will insist on $60 standard HEY GUYS ITS A NEW NEW NEW TITLE pricing. That means $60 up to $100-120 for the GOOD version, even though its years later. If we all say "No assholes eat a dick, your game is late", Epic will rub its hands together and whisper in Gearbox's ears "See.... they won't buy like we will" and try to convince them we aren't needed. 2) If we do buy, then it will mean that every exclusive will keep its price up for much much longer! We;'vealready seen how games on Epic are NOT discounted via keys the way that other keys (ie for Steam etc) are! This is emphatically making games more expensive.

This is really a joke when it comes to Borderlands considering that BL2 and TPS have been successful on Steam over a LONG curve, mostly because of their sales. So its a huge slap in the face for them to not support Steam.

Why don't you show us actual "exclusives" valve actually paid to keep off other platforms they didn't make themselves or paid for since the very start of a games development.

Valve didn't have to pay anyone for the Steam exclusives that exist.

inb4 HL2, Portal, and TF2

There are no Steam exclusives by contract. In all the decade+ they've been on top of the industry with nearly no competitors they never once went to some studio or publisher and said "Either you only sell on Steam or fuck off and fail", forcing them into contracts like Epic does. Steam COULD have easily done so if they wanted to be evil , but they didn't., Just like they never once increased their cut taken.

There are zero 3rd party Steam exclusives (by contract) the way that Epic and Discord have done recently.

>Epic store exclusive

yikes, thats gonna be a pirate from me

>REEEE EPIC AND BARFERLANDS BAD
I agree

So what you're saying is that they haven't and you cannot prove they have at all. Nothing is stopping devs from releasing their game on their own or trying to appeal to other store fronts.

So he didn't actually say that, thanks anyway.

EGS pays ~30% more than Steam, so Steam has to sell 30% more copies to get even with EGS.
If you have a sale on top of that, that's even less copies EGS have to sell to be as profitable as Steam.

Yes it is. Take more english classes before the next thread, Chang.

Nope, what I'm saying is "Valve didn't have to pay anyone for the Steam exclusives that exist."

>Randy says he wants off-line players to be supported to
>'Dude he didn't say that'

I can make an email for you and it won't ask me for any confirmation. They had a huge problem with Fortnite scammers because of it last year and still haven't fixed it

>There are no Steam exclusives
False

You should be fired desu. This shit isn't even trying to be transparent.

>russian plants are joining the 50 cent army now
go away

>chink s falls for fake email
kek, thanks for the laugh I guess.

then they're contractually not exclusive. They can leave whenever they want. Several publishers and developers have, sometimes right to Epic.

Please explain, because this doesn't confirm offline play or LAN
Never said he didn't. I said he didn't say offline or LAN are in the game, which he did not.

Wrong. Learn your maths. The default cut of Steam is 30% and the "default" cut of Epic is 12% (+5% which is waved if you use Unreal Engine for your game) So What's 30 - 12? 18% So that's at absolute MAXIMUM an 18% difference. Now, consider that for most titles that sell a reasonable amount, a number that Borderlands 3 is guaranteed to hit, especially big AAA titles and many indies, Steam's cut is only 20%, so now we're comparing 20 - 12 = 8%

Now, keep in mind that Sales do NOT come out of the developer/publisher's pocket but instead out of Steam, or the keyselling store like GMG or whomever, so...what you say makes no sense.

But even if you were correct, Steam has a MUCH LARGER user base who will over a long time buy the game so I'd venture the'd be far better there than anywhere.

Randy says a lot of shit tough. I wouldn't believe it until it ships.

>18% more is now 30% more
is this that new math

They're exclusives.

Okay, enjoy

Fortnite money is redistributed among all other videogame companies

I'm okay with this

Holy shit you fucking zoomers are so sad. You could live your life perfectly fine and this new store would not affect you negatively in any way but you are making a big deal out of it because your lives are so fragile and boring that this has to be some attack on everything you stand for. Grow up.

You're late to the party, user. What's your issue with the launcher? Not enough emoticons to buy?

>EGS pays ~30% more than Steam

I tough chinks were supposed to be good at amth.

YOU MUST BE RETARDED

yeah, he was late to seeing you get BTFO

OK Chang

Every single Borderlands game has had LAN support. Why do you think they would take it away now?

See:

Okay now this is epic

>inb4 they remove LAN support because of all the people vowing to pirate

It is imperative that we make that toxic behavior. For instance, Supergiant Games is doing an early access thing with Epic because they got the big fortnite bucks shoved at them along with the whole illusion. They're still making up their mind on what to do about exclusive releases, since their Steam forums for all their games (ie Bastion, Transistor etc) basically said - if you don't release on Steam we won't buy.

We should contact them ASAP and draw their attention -along with many others including Gearbox, that making a deal with Epic means the gamers will go out of our way to ruin your day, because you've gone out of your way to do the same for us. Let them know supporting shitty business practices like Epic have a cost to their reputation and they can avoid it simply by sticking with no exclusives of any kind, releasing on Steam because they've proven to be the best consumer-facing option we have, and generally not being shit

the pirate bay game launcher when?

>Grow up
>while he spergs out that others don't want substandrad software
Starting to reach now, are we.

This thread is hilarious, I thought they are just trolling but there are actual fucking epic shills

Probably because the majority of people use it for piracy.

The conflicted tweet with the vague sentences makes it seem like there is change coming anyhow.

Every single Borderlands title to date has a pretty awesome Linux (and Mac I am told) port by Aspyr. However, I'm worried that won't happen this time because fucking Epic doesn't support games that already have a Linux client and doesn't give a shit about Linux or openness.

If you buy a game like Slime Rancher on Epic Store, it does NOT come with a Linux client for instance, even though the game on Steam has full Linux support. This is not the only title that works this way when it comes to shitty stores like Epic and Discord

There are also gearbox shills who have been here since BL1

Epic does not take the 5% royalty if you launch on EGS.
It's not clear if they don't take the 5% royalty if you don't launch exclusively.

A steam launch is 35%, 30% as a base, and then Epic wants 5% for UE4.
On EGS it's 12%, because it's launched as an exclusive they're forging the UE4 royalty fee.

>88/12 vs 65/35.
>88/65 = 1.35
Aka 35% more profit.
However, it's possible they won't have to pay the 5% UE4 royalty on steam either, because of the timed exclusive... But they probably will have to.

If you want to go by steam only taking 20%.
Then it's still 20+5%, 25%, compared to 12%.
That's still 17% more profit.

>Steam has a MUCH LARGER user base who will over a long time buy the game so I'd venture the'd be far better there than anywhere.
Epic has already payed a shit ton of money for the exclusivity deal.
If 2k were not to make a ton more money on this exclusivity deal over launching on steam they wouldn't have taken it.

>It's substandard because I can't post my anime all over my profile
I think I'm gonna have to go with the other user on this one, kiddo.

>Hi fag we're bothering you again
are you stupid or illiterate? maybe both?

Steam still has exclusives and nothing you say can change that fact, sorry!

Read Maybe then your pea-sized brain will understand it.

You retarded zoomers.
We're talking profit.

>12% share cut means developers/publisher gets 88%
>35% share cut means developers/publishers get 65%.
88/65 = 1.35, not 1.18.

>Epic loses all their Fortnite money because people don't like exclusives
Delusional

Why would you even buy these kinds of games on launch anymore, it's going to be 30 dollars for the deluxe edition with the season pass when it hits steam.

>need something to be angry about today
>See this
Hell yeah I'll just get comfy and FUCK epic too man i feel for you guys

Which ones? Name the titles that Valve paid for to be only on Steam and nowhere else.

>There's no support for posting my anime therefor this video games store is shit
Imagine the autism required for this train of thought LMAO

Shut the fuck up chang, your shilling is getting very old
The launcher being free does not change anything, steam games are sold from 100s of stores all competing in price. Epic games are sold in 1 store, with no competition in price so they gouge the shit out of you.
Even if it wasn't a chink botnet, it'd still be garbage.

You're right. Valve pays off devs to support them and release it on as many platforms as possible.

Valve didn't pay for any of the exclusives that are currently on the Steam store

Stfu sonyccuck.

That's why I left out the 5% royalty entirely and left it at 12.

Don't cram in the 5% licensing fee for UE, because that's not part of Steam's doing - that's Epics. They could use another engine if it really bothered them. So we don't; count that against them as its part of paying for any other dev licensing you need.

The rest of your math if wrong - you're just throwing numbers together. THey don't make sense versus what I mentioned, we're only talking about the specific amount that cut to the platform and the differences between it.

And Epic is certainly being shifty and throwing money up front for exclusivity deals. Its up to us to make that idea toxic. But lets not forget that tons of corporations especiially public held ones will do things that make short term profit this quarter kind of sense, damn the fact it hobbles them in the long term - its practically the American way!

So they're literally paying to keep their games on Steam? This is an interesting development indeed.

>basic math is impossible for chang
That's a disspointment.

I'm still not hearing any titles that are exclusive to Steam that they bought from another developer.

Can't imagine it, sorry. Do you often have issues with reading or is it just that one image?

>Valve didn't pay for any of the exclusives that are currently on the Steam store
Which ones did they pay in the past then. Name them faggot, or fuck off.

This one broken bugbot repeating the same line over and over again because his shitty store has no legit upsides. I bet it's the same retard that got DEMOLISHED in multiple threads earlier, before I went to bed. Man, the Chinese sure do have long hour workdays.

Me neither. None of the exclusives currently on Steam were paid for directly as far as I know.

>a launcher you can download for free for a set amount of time
so the launcher costs money normally or what?

i had someone from thailand using my email to make an account on epic store. really did cost me some time to figure out what in the fuck was going on when i recently got metro

I'm not aware of any Steam exclusives past or present that were paid for.

Randy casted some doubt on whether or not BL3 will have offline play with a recent tweet. Wouldn't be surprised if they lock it down since it's only used for piracy.

Reread it again nigga. They're paying devs to support them to develop their games so they don't need exclusive contracts. They're literally saying that they don't give a fuck where the games end up on. Nohere do they say that they have to be on steam.

Having it as online only on Epic will surley be a wise buissnes move.

You think epic should give out their game engine entirely free? Yeah man, that would make a lot of sense.
Developing easy to use tools, and tools for extremely fast prototyping for absolutely free.

EGS is just giving them a good deal by not taking the 5% if they launch on their platform.
The UE4 cost has to be counted in with steam to make this comparison fair, since we're talking about profit for 2k/gearbox.

I'm really not surprised that basic maths was too difficult for you to follow.

Seems so, it will stop people from stealing the game if they want to play multiplayer.

didn't randy say he'd try to make cross platform possible when the news first leaked though?

>Dude MY fav game Borderlands is weird but ISNT HALO weirder???? Even though Halo 1 & 2 were on PC?????

First of all, they're fucking incompetent so I'd be impressed if they even could lock it down.
Second of all, pirates are not incompetent, they will literally always find a way to do what they want, just like every other always online game that has tried it.

>Don't use UE4
>Don't pay 5%
But your Chink brain can't comprehend not using something your Chinese masters didn't come up with, because if you even think about using things that weren't made by glorious president Winnie the Pooh, your social credit immediately gets docked.

I've read it. Valve have literally been paying developers to keep games from being exclusives on other storefronts so they can continue being sold on Steam. In a way, Valve is guilty of doing the same thing Epic is doing.

Sounds like cope to me, but okay

>Valve is guilty of doing the same thing Epic is doing
No they are not. Epic pays companies to NOT release on Steam. Valve pays companies to NOT sign exclusivity deals. Your subhuman IQ is showing.

>In a way, Valve is guilty of doing the same thing Epic is doing.
>Paying for exclusives is the same as paying devs so they can freely develop and sell everywhere
Are you fucking stupid?

I mean, Valve is literally paying people to keep games on their substandard launcher. Isn't this the *exact* thing everyone is complaining about with Epic?

>Valve have literally been paying developers to keep games from being exclusives on other storefronts so they can continue being sold on Steam.
Yet they've doing the excat opposite. God I do hope you're just basiting and not really that stupid.
They're giving them money to develop games and then let them do with the game whatever they want. Read this part very slowly, take a dictionary if you need it.

So then they aren't exclusive. Sheesh Xing really didn't try when programming you, huh?

>Valve is literally paying people to keep games on their substandard launcher
First off, Steam kicks the crap out of your shitty chink botnet. Secondly, Valve is not paying anyone to put out anything on Steam. They are paying people to have freedom of choice of where to put their things, instead of taking filthy chink money to sign a deal with the devil. Now fuck off, Chinkoid. Stop repeating your same lies over and over again. That won't make them more true.

Also the male twin had his sister steal Lilith's Siren powers and transferred to him.
