It's because Epic doesn't have any reviews or forums of their own for people to complain in.

Brandon Lee
Learn to read, nigga. Epic having no way for consumers to complain shields the dev from unwated critique. They then go to the only place they have left which is steam, showing that Epic was right in not providing any forum to give feedback, since most of it would be negastive for the retarded desicions they're making.
They knew perfectly well what they were about to do when they said "no review/forums" on ES.

I'm too lazy what you guys are arguing about but Steam reviews (and user reviews in general, even on shit like metacritic) are fucking GREAT
The ability to quickly find a detailed pro and con list for a game that isn't as biased as """journalists""" is absolutely amazing. I don't care how many meme reviews there usually are or what the average score is but just having someone point out flaws in a relatively objective manner is incredibly helpful to deciding whether I want to buy a game
Jose Lopez
Yes, nothing is stopping anyone to do it and people are doing it, there is nothing else to it.

It's the only thing they can realistically do that has SOME potential impact on Shitbox.
I don't know why they care so much though.

Nothing wrong with this. Anyone who thinks its 'cringe' is a fucking child. If a company fucks up to tell'em and if they don't listen you hurt them if possible any way you can.
Austin Turner
>implying they don't
Maybe not for massivley marketed AAA releases but every other games life fucking depends on it. Indie especially have said multiple times that they hate the system since everything that doesn't get overwhelmingly positve record is dead to the greater part of the userbase. Why the fuck do you think have they been shitting on it and begged Vavel for removing it?

come on after 1 it became DLClands much like payday became MTXday

What he meant by this is that niggers review bombing games isn't the norm and doesn't invalidate the entire concept of a user review
Shit, even sorting them by helpfulness gives you hundreds of negative reviews that tell you exactly every aspect that went wrong with the game

It's seen as one of the only forms of protest people have, they can't exactly discuss it on the fucking Epic store forums or reviews so they have to take what they can get, go to steam and announce their displeasure in a way the devs might actually notice
Sucks that a good game is gonna get hit with negative reviews that don't apply to it specifically but it's better than staying silent
and steam is apparently gonna include a filter for these reviews if they bother you so it wont be a problem if you just care about the game itself and not any controversy surrounding it

It does if you actually do constructive things like vocalize your opinion with nuance on public forums and organize a boycott or something else of scale. Like if you were to organize a protest that results in BL3 getting terrible sales on the Epic Store upon release, that would send a message
Review bombing a 7 year old game that has already attracted most of the audience it will ever see accomplished virtually nothing beyond making you look like a pointless reactionary

>Indie especially have said multiple times that they hate the system since everything that doesn't get overwhelmingly positve record is dead to the greater part of the userbase
That's a load of shit. I know that say that sometimes but Steam has blown open the indie market to potential audience and profit levels never before seen. Without naming myself I'm a big Let's Player, everyday I peruse Itch.io, Steam, Jolt and every other platform for new releases and Steam reviews have almost 9/10 times hit the nail on quality. Those indies that have "unfair mediocre reviews" are in fact mediocre or awful, I don't tell them that to their face but I get free keys and there's so many even with production value indie games that are the most mediocre or lowest grade out there. They're almost always horror or some "story focused" game or indie platformer that just doesn't know what to make a game click.
AAA's are the ones that are truly scared of review systems or counter viral marketing, there's been AAA flops one after the other in recent years because the old strategy of delaying reviews and no demo doesn't work anymore, people pick apart early footage, hear hearsay from streamers/tubers who weren't paid and got to play early copies and once it hits the shelves first wave impressions flood social networks and people know something is shit within 24 hours and the refunds come flying. They're terrified how much power consumers have suddenly gotten, which is why Epic itself has started a war that they've said will not be determined by consumers. Look at the same situation repeating itself in film where shilled movies flopped and movies they weren't pushing skyrocketed just from word of mouth strength, which is why they're moving to nerf movie reviewing sites.

Epic doesn't have forums and they must voice their displeasure in a visible way, so when Borderlands 3 crash and burn on PC people will say it was because of the Epic Store instead of the idiot fucks that made the call hiding behind bullshit excuses like piracy or that they were too PC for the nazis.
Colton Young

Jaxson Lewis
Yeah that is true, but that's not voting with your wallet.
Review bombing of a game can draw attention and lead to the things you've mentioned above. It also lets the publisher/developers know a good number of people aren't pleased with their decisions in a rather lazy way. I'd rather everyone write out emails everyday or something else, but people are lazy

Leaving a bad review is the only way for the consumer to leave a somewhat permanent mark of their grievance. They have no power beyond "voting with their wallet", which is itself a joke. The alternatives would be public protest IRL, but who gives a fuck about video game public protests?
Brandon Scott

You're right. The masses have been brainwashed and conditioned to accept any type of garbage they're presented with. This is how PS+ and XBL gold, DLC, Microtransaction, and all this shit thrives and makes corporations billions. At the end of the day, gamers are probably the dumbest demographic out there. And a good percentage don't even use their own money so who cares right. Epic is not good for anything, but ultimately it will succeed. If that wasn't the case, they wouldn't be sinking money the way they are now. They're pretty much operating on a loss right now for every single exclusive they get.

Austin Baker
>you're just making this more of a fuss now because of your steam sunk cost.
Not him, but I can make some easy arguments as to why Epic's store is shit without going 'China bad'
-Epic doesn't mass generate keys for free for publishers to sell to other stores, so you won't be able to buy from third-parties who are competing on price (only from a 'partner' like Humble Bundle which will just sell the game at the exact same price)
-If you live in an area that doesn't have high amounts of credit card usage, you might usually rely on cash cards to buy your vidya, and unlike something like Steam which eats the cost themselves Epic will just charge you more (given their low take for themselves)
-Instead of using their vast wealth from Fortnite to make brand new titles for their store, Epic's paying to take choice of where to buy away from customers, and this includes both Steam and GOG options being taken away
-Ironically if you live in China you can't actually buy games from Epic
-If you're one of the few Linux people out there you're screwed because you can't as easily take advantage of Proton or anything like that
-The 88/12 split becoming a regular thing likely won't hurt Steam all that much overall, but it will kill all the third-party sellers which provide better prices for games like Green Man Gaming, Voidu, Fanatical and Gamesplanet
-Tim Sweeney himself has said that he doesn't want to do sales even on the level of current-day Steam, along with a clear focus on his store being more publisher-friendly instead of customer-friendly (for example, an opt-in review system)
Kayden Gray
Not like this will negate all the sales BL2 already made.
Jayden Reed
so you have no reason. okay. Was just asking if there was an actual legitimate reason.

I truly apologize for making you so upset, user. I was really just curious. I'm just glad none of my friends are part of this weird crusade against a non-steam launcher.

They won't keep the split tough. Timmyboy already said that they can't operate at that margin, even less sos with all the buying out, which they wanted to stop after Phoenix Point. Guess tencent just told him to keep doing it and he complied like the good boy that he is.

Considering all the recent negative reviews just say fuck Epic and nothing else, and Steam differentiates recent reviews from overall reviews, only the extraordinarily stupid would fall for that.
Logan Carter
Because despite how many people here say that these games are only good when all the content dlc is out, the reality is they can't stand not having the Day 1 experience.
Michael Foster
Good thing thats the majority of people who play video games.
Joshua Baker
no because I accept his response and have nothing more to say.
Benjamin Hughes
This review bomb wont even make a dent in the postive reviews the game has accumulated for years. Anyone who sees the seperate negative recent review score will look at the reviews themselves and see they have nothing to do with game itself.
Matthew Bennett
Nah the majority would just listen to some IGN review and buy it based off that.
William Lopez
sao you're admitting you're litearlly a gaben cock wringer. and actually have no reason. Thats okay, I just wanted to know if your hissy fit had a rational argument to it. I guess not, Carry on review bombing I have my answer.
Ethan Lewis
Making a big assumption there that people bother to read the reviews instead of looking at the numbers and going "game bad"
Brody Taylor
>and somehow, steamfags still think they're above consolefaggots
The only ones with the high ground here are the idorts.
Caleb Williams
this, I don't get why consumers are so mad.
We publishers want the best experience for them, I don't understand all this backlash.
Nathaniel Nguyen
There is NO other way to let the companies know how you feel with any impact. Social media or visitng their forums will just get you ignored and blocked. Email will be tossed by CSRs.
Hell, Epic doesn't even HAVE a way to address this.
Justin Adams
epic shill
Jace Taylor
except everyone thats giving them a bad review are the people that ACTUALLY played and loved the game, you know, the CONSUMERS
is it so hard to understand?
Angel Sullivan
Battlefront 2 was not released on steam
Alexander Perry
>Boomers think its spyware
>Forgotten about how steam was though to be this too
>Forgot how origin and uplay were also though believed to have this
>Forgotten the whole windows 10/vista probelms
All of a sudden epic store is the only bad guy huh? Literal fear mongering of something new like usual.
David Smith
I don't play PC games because I'm not a massive faggot.
Adrian Long
The reasons have been stated multiple times already and yet you shills are using this coping argument now of
>y...you have no reason
does it bother you so much your shit store is disliked by the 99% of consumers?
Brody Rogers
>They care what reviews their 8 year old game gets all of a sudden
Carter Ward
It makes sense because epic only cares about grooming publishers for their future gaming empire.
Carter Clark
Except all of those were and still are spyware
Joshua Lewis
thats not your reason retard. Another scapegoat argument for your own sunken costs.
Jeremiah Thomas
LMAO what a bunch of little bitches. What did you fags accomplish when you did the same with Metro?
Bentley Bailey
>Boomers think its spyware
>think
Someone post it.
Jordan Carter
Steam review bombing seems to be the only way to get devs to listen to players not being satisfied with something a company is doing with the series. Its why Epic games don't want forums.
Jason King
yes, consumers care, unlike you corporate shills and unlike publishers, who actually hate consumers and only want their money
Ayden Martin
>-If you live in an area that doesn't have high amounts of credit card usage, you might usually rely on cash cards to buy your vidya, and unlike something like Steam which eats the cost themselves Epic will just charge you more (given their low take for themselves)
Wtf is this? Who are these people and places?
Isaac Nguyen
>t...that doesn't count!
holy shit
Evan White
Don't know what you are even talking about anymore
Hudson Wilson
Wow it's almodt like Epic is doing shit deemed unacceptable 10 years ago.
Elijah Murphy
The system was retro-active so you can already see it works.
What a moron.
Michael Scott
It not all that big an assumption people will investigate further if they if they see "Overall Score: Overwhelmingly Postive" and then "Recent Score: Negative". Remember this isnt the release crowd anymore, the only people looking to buy it now are likely those who specifically want this type of game. This type of buyer looks at reviews.
Camden Nguyen
Ignoring the fact that borderlands games are all shit, the reason people do this kind of reviewbombing previous games is out of protest against the company willingly exclusivizing their game on a "platform" that is just spyware designed to steal all your information and sell it for more money.
It SCREAMS that the company cares far more about the bottom line than about good relations or actually having a long term sustainable plan via customer satisfaction.
I can't completely blame them though, with how utterly cucked and stupid the average person is these days, they tend to just take it up the ass and not say anything.
Zachary Russell
>ehh...heh! d...don't know w...waht you're talking about!
Oliver Martinez
Lets not pretend that you know anything about looking at wireshark network traffic
Adam Russell
>What did you fags accomplish when you did the same with Metro?
Well apparently Metro Exodus sold so poorly on the Epic Game Store that they wouldn't even give out actual sales numbers
>Wtf is this? Who are these people and places?
It's places in the third-world, the places people told Valve they would never successfully break into because everyone's a pirate there. Surprise surprise when the service is good and convenient for people they'll actually buy things
Easton Nelson
It was meme'd on reddit tho.
Carson Hill
Because they dont care. Nor do they have to care.
Nolan Reyes
What sort of lie is this? Piracy is still crazy wild in 3rd world countries, you can also literally buy that shit on the street. You are have no actual data that steam has somehow stopped this
Henry Price
Cool argument. Always knew you were retarded but its good to have a confirmation
Brandon Martinez
Battlefront 2 was so big of a trainwreck that it actually was cited by the Belgian government in their lootbox ban.
Knowing that it's not just protestors or fuckheads yelling at you, but people who actually bought your shit in the past is VERY important.
Zachary James
>Well apparently Metro Exodus sold so poorly on the Epic Game Store that they wouldn't even give out actual sales numbers
Uh oh...
>Metro Exodus sold more on the Epic store than Last Light did on Steam
pcgamesn.com
Angel Green
>stopped this
I wasn't implying Steam 'stopped' piracy, but I did imply that they reduced it enough by providing a good service that it is very lucrative to sell to those markets that were previously considered no-go zones for selling things. China is legitimately one of Steam's biggest consumer bases and nobody would have expected selling things to go well there
Logan Thompson
2.5x of 20k is still shit user.
Jaxon Richardson
>YFW the game comes out and 95% of fans buy it and play it
Cooper Foster
user there are no sales numbers in that link, just a '2.5x the first week sales of Last Light' and Last Light sold terribly at launch because THQ had just died and the publisher who picked up Last Light to distribute and sell it did almost no marketing
Eli Cooper
>Thinking Origin, Uplay and W10 aren't spyware
They are proven spyware tho. I haven't seen proof Steam is a spyware yet but honestly it's no surprise. The only good digital store is GOG anyway.
Juan Wood
>It’s worth being a little sceptical about this – Steam was a much smaller platform when Last Light launched in 2013 than it is today, and it would seem that Epic is focusing on the latest new release in the Metro series, rather than on its more recent remaster. I’d also suggest that Exodus had a greater marketing push behind it, and didn’t share as much of the darker, more claustrophobic elements that might have made Last Light a harder sell.
Joseph Gomez
Piracy will never be stopped tho, corp shill. And piracy is prevalent everywhere, not just the third world
Steam didn't stopped piracy, but made games for people with less money, more affordable, unlike Tencent, that will never do this, because they don't care about consumers
says the faggot with no argument
Lucas Ortiz
You weren't gonna buy this game anyways so fuck off
Oliver Rogers
>Proof
You actually haven't seen shit cause that would then be illegal
Dominic Taylor
>still no official data
>"believe us it sold more"
>meanwhile last light's sales number still have yet to be released
Matthew Perry
>Pirated Metro Exodus because it was bought into being an exclusive and I couldn't buy it from GMG for a good price like I usually do for my PC vidya
>Did buy Sekiro because it didn't have paid exclusivity and I could by it from GMG for a good price
Yes I definitely am just a dirty pirate who never buys games
Jacob Roberts
>Sucking steams cock this hard
Gabe got you good boyo lol!
William Torres
I can't completely blame them because like Chris Avellone said, it's entirely up to the publisher and the developer gets no say.
Connor Mitchell
>Bought denuvo
Yikes. Your opinion literally does not matter
Aiden Carter
>Sekiro
>Denuvo
Based chink tard.
Justin White
Sekiro isn't a Denuvo-enabled game though
Carter Wood
that's it? that's your argument?
Zachary Wood
ok :^)
Colton Sanders
Jacob Brown
>people are upset with gearbox
>not because of Randy being a pedophile
>not because the company is notorious for stealing and short handing people
>it's because of the middle man that they would buy the game in
Charles Martin
stupid retard fuck kill yourself
yes im mad
Ryan Bennett
zoomers man.
Anthony Cooper
Imagine if the Steam drones of today were this negative about Half Life 2 being Steam exclusive 15 years ago
Jacob Jones
Well realistically the top of the list has nothing to do with the consumer, the bottom part does
Evan Cruz
I didn't know Epic Games created Borderlands
Juan Nguyen
Valve owns and produced the Half Life series. Exclusivity contracts exchange hands between hands of the platform and the publisher, none of which sees development of the product and actively works at the detriment of the consumer.
Christopher Hall
Valve didn't create Counter Strike. They still made it Steam exclusive to force millions of people to use Steam.
Gabriel White
No.
Elijah Martinez
The jew fears the reviews.
Angel Perry
Maybe there's something I'm missing but why exactly are people angry at Epic store exclusivity? It's not a big deal to install another launcher. What's the problem here?
Benjamin Nguyen
none of those things affect me so why should i care?
Aaron Cox
They bought the IP though so they literally own it. This would have to be something like Epic now owns the boarderlands IP
Samuel Hernandez
no but they created the technology that powers it and several other triple A games
Nathan Reyes
>first party game owned and made by Valve
>game neither made or owned by Epic in anyway beside the engine
Wow totally the same
Daniel Myers
Not to forget the CS was a half life mod
Ryan Parker
>Now this is epic
sensiblechuckle.gif
Benjamin Gutierrez
Well the original CS was not made by valve
Leo Butler
fuck steam
dont they know its wrong to but exclusivity
Ayden Rogers
Sending physical letters, but it's too much effort for most people because they're generally not as upset as they claim themselves to be.
Carson Thomas
And Valve now owns the rights and IP to the game, anymore High IQ posts lad?
Ayden Watson
Unreal engine games will most likely end up with timed exclusivity on the store because of the cut
Angel James
That's stupid as fuck, and just now I understood why Steam considered anti-review bomb measures.
However, in this case it is unlikely to make any difference in terms of sales after all this time.
Lucas Gonzalez
>implying they don't just get shredded in the mail room
Christian Thomas
so it's OK when Valve buys up games to distribute exclusively on their client but when anyone else does it it's bad?
Tyler Hall
Valve bought CS before Steam was ever a thing
Connor Hernandez
Just was pointing out where you were wrong. Please check your facts in the future because saying stupid incorrect shit makes everyone against Epic look fucking retarded. Don't help in this fight if you are a total dumb ass
Landon Phillips
But Epic doesn't own Borderlands IP.
Benjamin Carter
This
This is the only way to even remotely get their attention, since no other alternatives are present so there is nothing wrong with this
James Watson
so permanent exclusivity is better than timed exclusivity?
Elijah Morgan
I don't see people whine about BF games not being on steam.
Do you?
Isaiah Reyes
Oh boy they did a lot when origin first was announced. You can go look it up, it was nasty just like this shit
Carter Bell
Steam drones cried oceans of tears when Origin became a thing and said they would never buy a game on Origin. Must have been a vocal minority because EA hasn't second guessed their decision yet
Liam Davis
why are you showing me your cuck porn collection?
Hunter Morgan
ssshhhh
Adrian Sanchez
>Anti-Valve shills don't even know that EA-Downloader existed before Origin
KEK
Levi Harris
this woman is disgusting
Oliver Stewart
I own old EA titles on steam
Justin Nguyen
Have sex, incel.
Carter Perez
Death, amputation, many other unpleasant things. Use your fucking brain.
Liam Martinez
Don't worry, I fuck your mom every night
William Perry

You do you dude.
Jaxson Lopez
>Dev tells me to go fuck myself in one of the many ways he can
>I tell the dev to go fuck himself in the only way I can
it is certainly a mystery
