>check out the reviewbombing
>they're reviewbombing Borderlands GOTY but not the enhanced version that just came out which would be more impacted by review bombing, even though if they have Borderlands GOTY they have Borderlands GOTY Enhanced because it's free to everyone who owns Borderlands GOTY
LAUGHING MY FUCKING ASS OFF
good
anyone who's a part of epic's bullshit needs to be hit where it hurts
honestly I have no problems with games such borderlands 3 being epic exclusive but was never even on steams pages
its the games which go available for pre-order/coming soon then get removed from steam to go epic exclusive which need to suck a shotgun barrel
You realize that if you preordered a copy on Steam, they still give you the copy on Steam, right? They didn't lie to you.
And if you didn't pre-order it, then why exactly are you complaining?
>hit where it hurts
>hitting Steam
Are your retarded?
How is shitting up Steam with racist remarks hurting anyone but Steam?
>its the games which go available for pre-order/coming soon then get removed from steam to go epic exclusive which need to suck a shotgun barrel
This. Epic convincing devs to have their new games on Steam is fair business, Epic convincing devs to take down already existing preorders on steam to have them on Epic instead is fucking barbaric
Again. The preorders are not "taken down." You get the game through Steam.
the point is they announced those games for a platform then removed it
and if even if you preordered the games, you won't be able to use any DLC or shit like that that gets released because said DLC won't be on the steam store. meaning if you want more content for the game you will have to buy it a second time for the epic store
You're such a renegade
having a game with lots of negative reviews hurts, doesn't matter where or why
By the time the game gets DLC, the game will be on the Steam store. It's a timed exclusive.
I wasn't talking about Borderlands, just games in general
Like take for example Anno 1600 was was removed from the steam store preorders to go epic exclusive
anyone who preordered the steam version before they removed it will not be able to access any future DLC/expansions that get released for the game and have to buy it again for epics store if they want it
Like how Battlefront 2 had overwhelming negative reception and still sold like 7 million?
vg247.com
>“The publisher has assured us that all prior sales of the game on Steam will be fulfilled on Steam,” reads the store page. “Steam owners will be able to access the game and any future updates or DLC through Steam.
So once again you are completely wrong on something that is debunked by literally taking a look at the fucking store page.
Tell me, what drives a man to behave as you do? To make such outlandish claims with absolutely no fact behind them?
All this review bombing does is prove how completely fucking weak consumers are these days.
Epic is right, all the power lies with publishers now.
Yes because that negative reception literally killed the P2W system in its tracks
The publishers can use that power to buy games from themselves when people turn to piracy
Companies wait a year or more to release DLC? I want to live in your world, it sounds like a nice place.
Which will happen any day now, right? Oh wait, no it won't.
It's a moot point because you can in fact buy the DLC on Steam.
anno was just the first game off the top of my head
but other Developers are under no obligation to release DLC for a platform they willingly removed the game from.
and still there is nothing stopping the Anno Devs from releasing only a single DLC or two and then going back on their word and not releasing any other DLC for the game on steam
Ha that will show Gearbox that steam is better!
Look at all these cunts! We should be selling to them
It killed loot boxes. It didn't kill Battlefront 2, and it's not gonna kill the next EA Star Wars game, just like how review bombing Metro games resulted in nothing as Exodus sold well on EGS
God, can you really not just admit that you were wrong? Is it really that fucking hard for you?
>It killed loot boxes.
Right which is why I can still buy loot boxes in TF2 and Dota and Fortnite and PUBG and Apex Legends and every other megapopular game. You didn't have to concede that point to him, because not even that happened as a result of the Battlefront debacle.
> being so petty as to review bomb x because of y
Seethe some more Valve fags, it's not like Gaben's gonna teleport to you and suck you off for crying about his platform gradually losing relevance. And to think he could avoid it all if only he dropped Steam's sales cut to Epic's same level LOL
It doesn't hurt on Steam because people take a look at this graph and realize "Oh, trolls are just reviewbombing the game."
The graphs killed the effectiveness of reviewbombing once and for all.
people will always pirate no matter what however piracy increases when purchasing media becomes inconvenient
Nice copypasta gwailo!
And by the way, it apparently doesn't even affect the score of the game because according to that graph, people are hitting the game with just as many positive reviews to account for the negative ones.
Not being able to sell lootboxes royally fucked EA, lootboxes make more money than game sales do for EAs other games. The fact that EA missed out on millions or billions was a major blow
maybe you should develop some reading comprehension first, you illiterate cumstain
originally I was talking broadly about ANY game that puts themselves on steam then gets removed for epic exclusivity and even said I had no problems with Borderlands since it was never on the steam store before the exclusivity was announced
then you went
>"but you will be able to get borderlands on stream in a few months later"
then I explained again what I was talking about and even provided an example game
and you did the same thing again completely misunderstanding my example.
then when I further tried to clarify, your only response is basically "your wrong and retarded, shut the fuck up"
But Hell, if you want me to stoop down to your level I can just accuse you of being a Viral marketer/paid epic shill so you can feel as if you are the smart one
Review bombing is the gayest fucking thing.
Perhaps, but it's quick and easy and saves me the hassle of typing out long tirades on the steam forums only to get banned.
i have a problem with it because i don't want exclusivity in pc gaming
it's one of it's perks and the Epic store is trying to fuck it all up. i'm glad it's being met with hostility. the sooner it dies the better
>40$ for a 10 year old game
Are people actually retarded to pay this?
In other words, you continuously moved the goalposts and backpedaled every time any of your claims was proven wrong, and even then you still could not manage to say anything that was correct. Good job, you have proven no points and made Epic haters look like complete idiots. Maybe you're the Epic shill, you've done a pretty good job advertising for them with this disastrous series of posts.
And it's laughable that you would call anyone illiterate when you made the rookie mistake of mixing up "your" and "you're."
The game is free if you already own it and if you don't then you didn't pay for the original game in the first place so why are you complaining?
It's free
>reviewbombing negatively on the platform you want to survive
>2k
>It appears the steam community does not like Borderlands games
>Our Game ratings are very low
>Considering how big a cut Steam takes
>We've decided to not launch to Steam as we believe it's a dead market
I'd be walking on clouds if that happened.
you are the one who continuously tried to move the goalposts and you still are doing it.
and besides you still have not proven that there is nothing preventing theoretical devs who jump their games from steam to epic from deciding not to release DLC on steam for the poor saps who bought that version before it jumped.
but hey at least you got to make me look silly by targeting something that has UTTERLY NOTHING TO DO WITH MY ORIGINAL ARGUMENT so good for you
:)
>Yes, gwailo, download our store. You can protest all you like there.
>good
this. it's unironically a good thing. the only thing that matters to a company is its bottom line and this is literally the only action a paying customer can take to affect this. why do you think the anti-consumer china games store doesn't want to allow user reviews?
how about just ignore it? that's killing Star Wars easy enough. Doing this shit is just giving Epic the attention they want
>just like how review bombing Metro games resulted in nothing as Exodus sold well on EGS
It outsold Last Light on steam, a game that sold poorly.
egs sales numbers are a lie. instead of giving cash for exclusivity they promise a minimum of a certain number of copies will be purchased by epic. the publisher gets cash and pretend sales.
Steam is fucking garbage and needs a competitor
All of you people are retarded children
no one looks at graphs
Star Wars dying because nobody cares doesn't equate to ignoring a company's selfish business practices and general anti-consumer attitude causing them to change their stance.
Sometimes protest works.
indeed.
Too bad epic is just worse Steam at this moment in time.
Maybe at least get to the level of fucking garbage and there'll be less of a fuss.
