>EGS was merely a beta test for the chinese
they are eating themselves again
>featured games "chinese parents"
???????
Yay, more spyware
OH NO NO NO NO NO Yea ForumsROS
DUDE
>WeGame X
Sounds like some tryhard CS clan from the early 2000s.
Woah, it has a whole bunch of 22 games!
So what is the revenue split on this one?
WeGame, the chinese version, is actually very huge among chinks
This's like a trial version for the international market, so we may see even more chink game in near future
for game dev? nobody knows
>literally "you're winning son?" the game
EGS is for SJWs
WGX is for true gamers
Daily reminder that epic games security is handled by a literal toaster
bing bing woohoo
The villan is betraid by his own master
>WeGame, the chinese version, is actually very huge among chinks
Oh yeah, the chinese version which has 170 games. Damn, Steam is dead!
Spic
I'd join this ironically.
All this does is remove all Chinamen on Steam which is a good thing.
Why would they leave steam?
Do you think Tencent will give out information to the Chinese government?
WEED
Does the risk of rain dev even know if the games is being sold there? Is he getting a cut?
pfftthahahahahaha
good one OP
wtf this store is better than egs already
you know, people said the same thing about origin and uplay. i had steam friends completely abandon their accounts to move to origin. they came back in two weeks.
>their platform has more features than EGS
fucking lol
excellent bait, you made me look
what a turn of events, fucking egs got blindsided
of course not :^))
*hits pipe*
Doesn't Tencent pretty much own Epic at this point? What kind of 4d chess are they playing now?
Sweeney owns the controlling stake in epic. I don't know what's so mysterious about this. What's better, owning a digital distribution platform, or owning a digital distribution platform and also owning a large chunk of another digital distribution platform? Like, do you want money, or more money?
I think
>EGS is for woke western devs
>WeGame is for honorable chinese devs
with this their own store is safe from government bans like anti-gay, anti religious or other dank memes, while also having a chink approved one for foreign market
well they have been running it for years in China
I see that the chinks also have patrician taste
Sweeney bows to the Chinese.
epic games has been selling shadow complex for years too and they never thought to add a basket
I think it's only 40%...besides the stores aren't really for the same public
that's one game vs an entire online store in china
who is this for exactly? English speaking... Chinese? chinkboo in SEAs?
should have planned ahead
more proof that east > west
A lot of local stores have some light translated content for the eventual international sale...people looking for low prices or different experiences
TOP ROR
>daughter
The X makes it sound cooler.
Kek, maybe they'll start poaching games from EGS.
i miss futurama
The 40% thing was years ago, it's around 48 now
can someone explain to me why china uses "we" in branding stuff so much? What's that about?
沒有共產黨就沒有新中國
it's because wechat, it's like that time when people used i in the beginning of everything
I'm pretty sure EGS exists because 10cents wants to avoid Chinese censor law while still be able to sell western games
Communism?
I had a mandarin teacher that made us all download Wechat so we could be like real chinese. She was a nice lady but that app is cancer. Her dad was a director that got deleted by the cultural revolution and you could tell she was still pretty sad about it. Anyway, none of this is terribly relevant to the thread but thanks for reading.
does it have awesome chinese knockoff exclusives like "fork knight" and "risk of train"? if yes, i'm sold
So, does Tencent want a monopoly with Epic Store or not? Because if that's the case, I don't understand.
.......people....................... in china..................
It would make more sense for them to try to sabotage EGS to buy out more of Epic Games.
I'd play the FUCK out of risk of train
...
tencent was just using epic as a beta.
someone has to make tianman square massacre the game and put it in the epic store and wegamex store.
they have WeGame
WeGame...X...... is for foreigners
collectivism, it's not me or you, but we
they should have implemented basket and a lot of other features from the get go, man. but no. they want to brute force they way into the pc market while caressing AAA publishers' cocks
what THE
They were just branching out. Steam is too big for them to buy it now, so might as well get a piece of the other pie while it's still small, like in EGS' case.
here's the site for chinks
wegame.com.cn
this's for us
wegamex.com.hk
tencent and epic aren't the same thing no matter how people here pretend they are
Does the, "X" stand for Xenophobia?
Chinese government hsa a tactic of flooding the market with fake competition. they make diferent companies of the same products and them shove them in the marketto make sure they have a control on a big share of the market (west), controll all the market (china).
It is the whole Go (China, japan and Korea) vs Chess (west). in Go you take over and convert the pieces of your enemy to into your own pieces, in chess you kill and destroy the opposing kingdom
>tfw you realize china is literally the imperium of man
cross, trans- cultural, communication, national, etc.
Tencent products usually starts with we. Its like apple named their products with i-something
So why bother using WeGame? Are there actual good Chink exclusives?
B-b-but EGS was supposed to be the chinese backdoor!
This is RUINING the shitposting narrative!
how about you check out their store, there's a link in this thread
are you retarded
how does this change anything
>good Chink exclusives
>that pic.
well played.
>how about you check out their store, there's a link in this thread
I fucking did you dumbfuck everything is in chink language
>trans
oh shit Yea Forums is going to lose it
Reminder that this was all steam had to do. Stop taking 30%
More than Epic already
What is the TF2 and Fortnite of WeGame X?
pick the fucking language option on the top right you autist
That's wirr be 1000 sociar credits prus tip, comrade.
>so we may see even more chink game in near future
REEEEEEE
Why contain it? Honestly video games are awful now. Let the killing nail be Chinese spyware.
Holy fuck you're a moron. Yes I switched it to English I am referring to the Chink games you absolute mongoloid.
I hope you aren't so naive to believe that Tim Sweeney would curb his ambitions just because Steam is taking less money.
And also people could already negotiate lower cuts in the past but now Valve just made 25% and 20% shares automatic based on revenue.
Well, that explains why they have to infest our games
sorri no engris for yu laowhy
It's not hard EGS is littery just launching the game and they still manage to fuck that up
actually here's their from chinese store
Who cares. He can fuck himself for going with gearbox.
>Apple (american)
>Starts their product with i_____
>Tencent (Chinese)
>Starts their products with we
You can't make this shit up. Clown world.
collectivism. it is always We. not You or I. that is how the left works
>china
>the left
they're even more redpilled than your average skin head in murrica
watch them start making exclusive distribution deals
Neat.
I've played a lot of chinese developed games on steam but they're often pretty hard to find. Going based on the games shown they're going to be heavily featured on this store.
They're usually a nice break from the standard jip jap games and AAA western trash I play so I welcome it.
No, they would never do that to our valued customers. Tencent is a very respectable company
KEK
so the chinks won the exclusives war after all
Why do all of these steam competitors look so much more clean than Steam?
Steam is bloated as fuck, both it's website and the program itself.
Does that mean it's not going to be subject to their medieval-level censorship laws and psychotic dystopian dictatorship?
For what reason though? What valuable information can they get from western video gamers?
>Steam is bloated as fuck, both it's website and the program itself.
Steam is actually in the midfield when it comes to that.
Bethesdas launcher eats double the RAM that Steam eats.
I've had the "pleasure" of playing a bunch of Chink games, most of them are shovelware but there's a few that were at least half-passably interesting if admittedly some kind of derivative of another product that's more polished and generally plays better. As they "integrate" with the West and are allowed some kind of Western funding, they'll probably be a bit better. There's an upcoming beat 'em up from the chinks called "FIST" that looks decent, but it's the first really decent title I've seen from them in years.

And a Luigi's Mansion rip-off called In Nightmare that might be worth a view on YouTube.

Bear in mind, these games will still probably suck 50% of the time, but there's potential in those poor codemonkey pits with a suicide rate of 60%.
Kek. Steam can't get a break these days. Gaben legit pissing his bed every night
