I'm making a game. Have no idea if I'll make money on it. Chances are slim. My costs are essentially zero, so any money will be profit. Not sure how other indie devs are incurring massive costs to make their games and struggling to make a profit.

I don't think this dumb nigger understands what a percentage is.

It's funny because this guy's shovelware won't even be accepted by Epic.

I think the question that should be asked is why does Valves store require an update?
As a user the Steam store is perfectly functional.

There has been "legitimate" competition in the form of the EA store and the Ubisoft store. Problem is, every other competitor has greeded out and did stupid shit that made Steam look golden by comparison.

Epic is no exception, though they are doing the Walmart strategy of using unsustainable practices to drive out the existing market. They are giving a high percentage to devs NOW, that they will definitely raise in the future. They are adding spyware to your machine that scans your hard drive for your steam library. They are harvesting and selling the data they collect on you (same with Yea Forums desu).

Anyone who can't see that Epic is the biggest bait in the world deserves to get baited.

30% is actually more when you sell it for more, I know math is incredibly difficult for retards but this crybabying is fucking retarded, if you feel you deserve more money, raise the price of your fucking product, if not, make a better product.

Wrong, Tim said it was the absolute minimum they could do, and it's worse when you look and realize how much of that cost is being pushed into the consumers through transaction fees and far worse regional pricing.
You, the consumer, is paying for it.

was he on EGS's side during the whole journal black PR campaign? if yes, then fuck him

Do these fuckin dipshits think Valve just sits on its thumbs and does NOTHING for players/developers? What about the crazy integration APIs and massive chat updates they've gotten recently?

Uuuuh that's not rEAL services! Where the fuck are my free stacks of money???

Has any indie developer with a hit under their belt complained about Valve?
I kinda get the vibe that most vocal developers are the ones that aren't worth a shit and are just trying to blame external factors of their relative failure.

ask them what valve should've done with steam and they'll answer "uhhh games? hl3?"

But don't you know that all of that is useless because I personally don't care about it?
Really why do the retards here always reply the same way when people list the features Steam has. Most people care about them and use them no matter whether some random Yea Forumsirgin likes it or not.

if it's not something retarded simple that can be summed up in a single word so a monkey could understand it doesn't exist to blue checkmark "people"
who cares that valve is almost singlehandedly killing windows and bringing about a Linux/vulcan golden age, who cares that valve is offering free multiplayer hosting/routing to the developers, who cares that they're offering free controller support to the developers etc

Does this guy expect for his game to come out and then be advertised specially on the first page of new games for everyone to see? As with any game, if you care about sales you have to advertise it in some way, whether that be through internet or other sources.

AAC has 2 players on it. It's sold through already. New people aren't gonna rush to buy his rerelease on a different store. Epic doesn't care what the metacritic is, just how much they can sell. They have pic related on their store

Once another store front/platform is actually up to par with steam in functionality, perhaps consumers would be more keen to make the switch/keep other clients installed.
Epic's storefront doesn't even have a fucking cart, last time I checked.

Solution:
Make a game worth more than $5. Or publish it on ID@Xbox to build up some money and fame since that's like $20 instead of $100

The "Valve is lazy" line is targeted at the fact they don't make games anymore. The funny part is they have several games in development, one of which is a single player game. But even if you say that it'll get dismissed as "lol lootbox f2p shitfest." They don't care if Valve actually delivers, they just want to shitpost.

If Steam is pro consumer why do they continuously allow publishers to wipe older or pre "remaster" versions of their games from the store just to force people to purchase the newest version?
If Steam is pro consumer, why do they not test older games and ensure they are working on modern OS like GOG does?
If Steam is pro consumer why did they lead the forefront on paid mods, lootboxes, early access and DRM?
If Steam is pro consumer why did they trojan horse an always online DRM system and storefront into their most anticipated game?
If Steam is pro consumer why do they force you to agree to a ToS which states they can and will share and sell your data to third party partners, or else lock you out of your account with no way to download any game you have purchased since they offer no version of offline install?

Do you think valve can hold their game hostage?

Oh boy the ol' "If the companies aren't sucking the consumers cocks they're literally enslaving them" guy is here.
Here's some food for thought, valve is a fucking company and made user friendly features to get more people to buy shit from them, being pro consumer for any company is incidental to making money, and testing the boundaries of what they are and aren't allowed to do.
Some nice things come out of it, like the features steam has, or the fact that they let EVERYONE refund now after the australia shit.
But a company isn't there to simply suck your cock for being a consumer dude, you're fucking nobody and demanding shit like a raving lunatic makes people think your way of thinking is retarded.

How about you post sources for all of those hefty claims you're making here?
Also half of those aren't even something Steam has anything to do with.

>being pro consumer for any company is incidental to making money
If anything Epic is proving right now that this isn't the case. You can shit potential custoimers in the mouth and they still come to you asking for extras. What valve did was a nice accident, they could've gone the Epic route and still be where they are now.

>You can shit potential custoimers in the mouth and they still come to you asking for extras.

We have no actual numbers to support that people are using the Epic Game Store in droves for anything outside of Fortnite. The fact that they refused to give actual sales numbers for Metro Exodus is suspect enough

How about the fact that appealing to one retard that thinks demanding money for a product is anti consumer isn't the same as satiating hundreds of thousands of people with a simple policy change, fuckface.

What little guys does Epic even have on their store? The only indies that they have are ones that don't even need visibility because they are already big names like Supergiant.
They denied Assault Android Cactus for whatever reason despite being a perfectly fine game. They don't give a shit about indies and these nobodies are deluded if they think their shitty game is going to end up on such a heavily controlled platform.

And it’s hilarious when they compared a 2013 release to a new one claiming they sold 2.5x more. Too bad for them, games like DMCV and risk of Raik 2 had a peak of users that are almost 20x more than their predecessors released in 2013

As another user already pointed out, it's most likely because they don't believe anyone who hasn't already bought it from Steam would buy it from them for PC. It's several years old already.
Has Epic taken any older indie games at all?

Super Meat Boy is old as fuck, user.

You can tell EGS shills are all liars because if devs really cared about the cut they would all release their games on the Discord store which only takes 10%

Or Itch.io which takes whatever you set the take to

It's indie game of quite higher caliber on the other hand.

Yeah, stopped reading there. This person clearly majored in philosophy and not accounting.

Games that sell a million copies get their cut reduced to 20% on Steam.
But this guy might not even know that and thinks just because it's a lot of money for him that companies suddenly stop caring about a few million dollars more or less.

>I worked 4 years on this game
How does this guy know any of those games above his on the list were not worked on hard for 4 years by other devs also? Why do these indie shits have no self awareness and think they're so unique, and all other games on Steam are just asset flips out to get them and keep them down?

Epic sells switch games now?

Trying to monopolize that as well.

>complains about asset flips and shovelware taking up space for "real games"
>essentially plagiarizes Limbo
>complains about the $100 entry fee, that is no doubt holding back a slew of otherwise released asset flips and shovelware
people who are this self un-aware are not worth the time or energy

Could sell their shit on discord as well... But they understand Steam is preferable due to the services and centralisation it provides so Discord can't compete.
Which is why they're in love with the Epic bullshit "Corner the market" and "War of attrition" style of competition which is a race to the bottom, because it's a way to compete with steam, while only providing (Temporarily) better fees to the Indie dev (Depending on publisher) lining their pockets slightly more even though hidden costs on Steam's end evens out that gap anyway.

Every indie dev thinks they're the golden egg to the golden goose.

It's the PC port of a Switch game which is a port of a shitty mobile game

There are no reviews for the PC version

Absolutely. There's this spot between AAA and indie where indie-tiddie games go. The only reason they don't sell at AAA numbers is because muh-morality but there's no doubt that sex sells and using sex appeal in a game is a very easy way to skyrocket its appeal.

For example, let's take Stardew Valley. That is/was a huge seller, yeah? Everyone has a copy. Now, what if the dialogue was well written and contained erotica at the last few stages of the relationship? And one of the characters was a total slut that constantly made euphemisms. You don't even need sexy 8-bit graphics. Just changing the text alone would have increased sales by at least 15% and and no one would thinkof it as a kiddie game. But it wouldn't be full blown porn, either, so it doesn't risk a massive reputation hit. Just making the writing more adult. That's it. 15%. Easy.

Honestly, that's funnier and more impactful than the other image anyway.

Epic is just another fad that's going to fall off to the wayside and everyone will forget about it when something else big comes along and steals their attention. Shit like this happens every time.

I just realized that I truly respected developers up until about 2 months when all thus muh-developers shit started. Now I really don't care if I support them or not. The incessant whining about developers is doing more harm good.

How fucking stupid do you have to be to think giant megacorporations "don't care that much about the percentages" or that places that size don't have teams of bean counters trying to scrounge every penny they possibly can.

Isn't it an obviously better choice for a developer to choose to sell on EGS if the percentage is that much better? I don't see how this is "shilling", more like common sense. They'll literally make more money so why not.

This was a great talk.

A lot of indie developers seem to really lack the understanding that their game may be under priced and are just generally incompetent at business and marketing.

>Can't afford to costs / Game isn't profitable enough - "Pricing obviously has nothing to do with it"
>"Everyone thinks my game is just another title in the stack of shit"
>Don't understand genre over saturation
>Don't understand hidden costs

The price is a big one. They seem to think tanking the monetary value of their game makes them competitive, when in reality, as long as the product is solid (And with some level of marketing but this applies regardless of price), they could push the price and probably end up with positive results from it.

I'm pretty much you, but in the future. I made WotR and basically got double penetrated by steam's cut, then taxes at the end of the year. Self-employment tax in america is a total fucking joke. No wonder everybody is stuck working shitty retail jobs.

It's probably because of how easy it was to be successful when Valve had to handpick games for Steam long before Greenlight. Steam didn't have many titles so the few that did get on it outside of Valve and AAA games were a great success, similar to indie games flourishing on the Switch eshop when there weren't that many games to begin with.
I think that kind of thought process stuck in the minds of indie devs unfortunately so now they are angry when their game with zero marketing or market research falls through.

>Isn't it an obviously better choice for a developer to choose to sell on EGS if the percentage is that much better?
>They'll literally make more money so why not.

70% of 10,000 sales at $10 each = $70,000

People erroneously believe effort and work are the same things. Just because you're struggling to create something doesn't mean you deserve to get paid.

I guess I'm out of the loop. You're only allowed to host your game on ESG if it's exlusive?

Epic's mainly aiming for timed exclusives right now. Nobody is moving over because of the 'better split.' They're moving over because Epic is giving a fat sack of cash to go with it in the form of guaranteed minimum sales for those games

Assualt Android Cactus is a legit top tier shooter and it pains me that Yea Forums has developed such normie taste over the years.

Rentfree

Epic is signing deals for 1 year exclusivity yes. Part of the reason why it's gotten so heated was because games that were planning to launch on Steam didn't, publishers changed their mind and pissed of fans in the process. Metro: Exodus and Phoenix Point are probably the bigger games that caused a lot of backlash; M:E had a Steam page for the longest time and people had a deadline until they either pre-purchase it on Steam or they won't be able to anymore after for a year whereas Phoenix Point was a crowdfunded game on Fig (reaching 2 million I believe) that promised to release on Steam and GOG. They decided to take the Epic exclusivity deal (which comes with the benefit of receiving a shit ton of money) so backers now get their Steam and GOG keys a year later after release. They said future expansions will be free as a result of this deal for backers, but also offered refunds for those unsatisfied with the decision. It's come to light that even if all backers were to refund their pledges, they'd still be positive just from the deal with Epic alone.

Does it not concern most of you how little empathy you have

Actually wrong on the tranny and pregnancy part in my case but not surprised about the whiskersfaggot, he really seemed like a elitist tard.

>not having fun watching retards reee when they blow all their time and money on a wild goose chase

I mean you need to do advertise your own game, you can't just put your game on steam and expect it to blow up. I'm sure this game has an audience, he just needs to advertise it to them.

It’s a platformer m8, those things haven’t had a strong market presence since steam greenlight let every wannabe put one on steam.
You want money, you’ve gotta find a niche you can get a profit out of, and unless you’ve got both a revolutionary new vision and the ability to deliver on it, that niche probably isn’t platformers

makes sense. Fuck Valve

Why does every indie dev seem to think their 2D platformer has a chance on EGS? If you're not SuperGiant Games or Devolver Digital "indie" you're not even given a second look.
