Is randy pitchford a fucking retard?

Borderlands sucks and the only thing that makes it decent is loot. The last 2 real games he made are ass

This. Autism locks people into a train of thought and I find it peculiar he's either willfully ignorant enough or genuinely retarded to the point the reviewbomb being a representation of people who gave you money saying they're going to stop because you fucked up. They're hitting you as more a corporate busybody and less as a human being where it matters more to the former and less to the latter; the sales and ratings.

There's nothing wrong competing with Steam.

>there is nothing wrong with the chinese government installing spyware on every american gaming computer

I'd say there's nothing good competing with it either, but GoG exists for now.

Randy sure is a well guy.
I'm convinced that Borderlands was only a good loot and shoot because it had zero competition.
Now that there are several games out that do the same, Borderlands isn't going to be as fun.

He's just deflecting. I bet he's assuming that most of the people complaining will buy it day 1 from Epic anyway, and he's probably not wrong.

Randy is a fucking disgrace, but I don't think he's in the wrong here entirely.

PC market hasn't been behaving much better honestly. They're both retarded.

Randy obviously can't handle it. Should just not release on PC going forward.

Randy Pitchford?
More like Randy Bitchford lmao

Who cares which launcher you rent your games on? You don't own them either way.

>PC market hasn't been behaving much better honestly. They're both retarded.
Care to explain that without letting posts you saw on v color your opinion?

Now that the dust has settled, can we all agree that Steam's review system is useless due to review bombing and that Epic is the future of PC gaming?

>The virgin steamshill redditor vs the chad epic store 4channer

Why do people defend Borderlands/Gearbox like they're some underground in-need-of-support company?

Not cool. Very uncool. Do better.

1989 Tiananmen Square protests

The publisher made a decision about the game, autistic PCfags then decided to threaten stealing Gearbox's work, unjustly giving negative reviews on titles not related to the decision, and I'm sure hounding Randy on Twitter which is a serious thing for fags like him.

You can call him out for this, but it's absolutely a pot calling the kettle black situation.

friendly reminder that "review bombing" is good for the consumer, but big business has convinced shills that it is bad, because it hurts profits.

>due to review bombing
But review system should work in that way
>4channer
>says he while postng on 4channel

I can't fucking stand EGS and its shills (e.g. Randy) but review bombing games by a dev that likely had very little decision in opting for EGS doesn't make sense. 2K had all the say in this, and Randy is a complete retard, but other than that we have no reason to believe a single soul at Gearbox wanted to make BL3 an EGS exclusive so why punish them?

People target devs are the reason to move to EGS (which is false, publishers will benefit the most from the smaller cut), and people target devs as the problem children when a game is made EGS exclusive (which is false, publishers decide that shit). It's retarded from both sides how devs are constantly selected as the catalysts. Publishers make the decisions, and publishers happen to gain the most out of EGS. Leave devs out of this fucking conversation. They don't gain any benefit from picking Steam vs EGS, and they have no say in it either.

It's been the sentiment for the longest time. But the vocal minority here (from resetera and reddit) will pretend like competitions with Steam are the work of Satan themselves, since Steam is pretty much Reddit - The platform.

ste*mlet rebbitors upset that chadepic games is cornering the market on pc games and there's nothing they can do about it except cry. EGL is /ourlauncher/

It sounds like they did something to piss off the majority of people who are their customers and can effect the ratings. What's more likely; that one person or small group much like the meme where a dude makes a good suggestion and is thrown out a window fucked up, or all these people fucked up by responding to a perceived fuckup despite not being a hivemind or on the same payroll unlike the first group?

True, but paying off people to not do business with steam, including one dev who promised its backers free copies of the game on release, seems pretty damn scunmy to me

The developer upset a vocal minority to fuck up their ratings overnight, how large do you think the silent, much more reasonably let down/upset crowd is? Play stupid games win stupid prizes and you reap what you sow, he had sown a bad decision and planted his feet in response, now he gets to watch what bad PR grows and learn if bad PR is good PR when torrenting everything their company ever puts out is an option to one of the pettiest, grudge-holding audiences around.

I think it's most likely that 2K made a business decision based upon Epic offering a better deal and the PC market can't handle it and punish the developer who isn't responsible.

The proper response is to be in opposition to 2K and wait until the game releases for Steam if you aren't willing to use EGS. Even in the worst times of the console wars you didn't see shit like this, it's pathetic.

>it was a publisher decision

do people believe this? that game developers sign a contract saying "hey you can put it on any platform you want without our input"

Like do you think the metro devs initial contract didnt have the words "steam" in there multiple times?

>The developer upset a vocal minority to fuck up their ratings overnight
Nigger, are you blind? The dev didn't do anything. Gearbox doesn't make these decisions, they just make the game. The PUBLISHER (2K Games) decides what platform(s) the game ends up on. Period. That's how this shit works. The publisher also takes a thick-ass cut of the game's profits (larger than the devs) so all talks of EGS being good for devs is horseshit; it makes no difference at all to them.
To reiterate: leave devs out of these conversations. They do not stand to gain anything from going for either Steam or EGS. They don't care. They don't decide where it lands. They don't see the extra money made from picking EGS, and they don't see less money if the game lands on Steam. Gearbox. Does not. Have a choice.

That's literally how it works. That's what publishers do.

You can believe a conspiracy that it was actually Gearbox, but that belief has as much proof as saying that Gearbox's input is why it's only a timed exclusive, namely: none.

Console wars were on different platforms and consoles entirely. This is a platform within a platform that never before existed trying to do what GFWL and Origin are trying and failing to do. If you upset your audience to the point the vocal minority shifts your ratings overnight and aren't able to judge how many quiet upset people there are that aren't quite THAT upset to go out of their way to flip you the bird, I think you fucked up and made a business decision that is going to hurt you in the long run, and you will be held accountable alongside all other parties who made that decision at your customers' detriment.

See the above. You're picking semantics, I'm talking about the thing people actually care about; the end result and everyone involved in it being something that pissed off so many people this is where we are now, today.

>do people believe this? that game developers sign a contract saying "hey you can put it on any platform you want without our input"
Do you know what "publisher" means you fucking retard? Do you know what the job of a "publisher" is? Jesus nigger are you actually 14 or what?

why do people think developers are slaves to publishers and dont have contracts for everything?

do people think randy didnt sign on the dotted line for this?

So let me get this straight.
Review bombing memelands is bad.
But review bombing someones book because they said stuff you don't like good.
How many of these lefty fucks go and review bomb a book on amazon because they dislike the author?
Or fuck how many games get "boycotted" or banned from speaking of on certain forums because of the creators opinions?
But no can't do the same to Gearbox. RANDY is one of us. Borderlands can't be spoken ill of your just a Feh2!

Spoiler alert, they're not lefties, they're retards from all over the idpol spectrum.

Yes, he's been open about not being triggered by Epic. What's your point? It's still 2K's final decision.

>See the above. You're picking semantics
This isn't semantics you fuckin triple nigger. You're LITERALLY directing anger and pinning blame on a party that had virtually zero say in the decision to make BL3 an EGS exclusive. You're punishing people for doing something even though they literally didn't do it. This is like getting pissed off at a local business for moving to a less convenient location because their jew property manager hiked up rent so they couldn't afford to keep the place. Try to flex your tiny, smooth peabrain and understand that you are misdirecting your anger. You're getting mad at the wrong people.

Randy is a subservient retard cuck but he had no choice in this matter. Neither did any employees at Gearbox. 2K made this decision. Be mad at 2K.

Just because this retard likes EGS doesn't mean he actually made the decision to move to it.

This reminds me of something I saw during the Ferguson riots. A reporter asked a protester if he was afraid that all the people breaking and burning shit was going to make people dismiss the protest outright. The guy respond by telling the reporter “The only reason you reporters are even here is because people started breaking shit.”

The thing about review bombing is that the mob mentality involved pisses me off, but if it's an older game being targeted, then it's kind of inconsequential. I mean, several months ago the Persona games were spammed with negative reviews, but who really gives a shit? Game's already made its money and maintains its reputation.

He endorsed it. He's accountable for it. I don't know if you're dense or just pretending to be retarded user, but that's really something you've got going.

this is exactly what i said herepeople who dont blame the devs dont have any fucking clue how this works.

Developers sign a contract with every new game with a publisher and that includes in writing publishing platforms. They have to know ahead of time because they are coding the game to work with said platforms.

the concept that devs are faultless in this decision process is fucking fake and gay.

Randy isn't even a fucking dev you numbskull, he's just the CEO and """creative director""" of Gearbox. This nigger can barely be considered a dev by this point, he's just a talking head like Todd Howard.

So? Again, it's 2K's decision. They didn't do it because Randy told them to, they did it because Epic offers a better deal.

I'd bump her

What the actual fuck do you think publishers do if not make these decisions? They give devs boatloads of cash to fund their video games in exchange for executive decision making in terms of advertising, platform availability, pricing, etc. This is what publishers get to choose in return for funding the project that the devs are contracted to make.

That's a whole lot of assertions made towards something you seem to have a whole lot of bias towards. You know when you back nothing up in a conversation that's just speculation but speak as a figure of authority you're showing you're not as smart as you believe yourself to be, right?

And again, he endorsed it. , thus meaning he has given it approval whether or not the publishers were the ones who made the decision. People are going to be angry at him, hold him and Gearbox directly accountable all the same as Epic, and remember how they the customer who in some instances have spent over 200$ on Borderlands and grew up on it were ultimately regarded when it came to giving us the freedom to keep playing on the platform we coop'd the others on, or to go get fucked assuming we won't buy the game anyway. I'm half-convinced you're just a decent troll with too much time on your hands because I have a hard time believing people can be so willingly ignorant to other posts and points made directly in front of you.

It's only competition if they're offering something as good or better than Steam. GoG is competing with Steam. The Epic launcher isn't competing, they're paying people off so that they don't have to compete because they know they're offering an objectively inferior platform. That's immoral, contrary to capitalism, and it's going to backfire on them hard.

Review bombs are the only way that consumers can have their concerns voiced, if not addressed, in this current environment. It's why Tim Sweeney can say that developers and publishers are all that matter and consumers can either eat shit or die, because consumers don't have a voice on his platform. It's all about driving up sales and not making games better for the people who buy them.

I think it's immature, I think it's counterproductive, but what else can they do but pirate at that point? Why do Randy Pitchford and Sweeney think that the only viable form of opposition to your business tactics should be an illegal action?

Nobody says that. The developers just don't get to choose. Most developers don't care about the Epic autism, they don't understand the issues, Randy has said as much himself, it's just a launcher.

You're asking developers to tell their publishers to lose money because a vocal minority of autists are going to throw a tantrum.

Discord offers a better deal too. 10% cut instead of 12%.

except for the fact the developer has to sign onto an initial contract and that initial contract has platforms listed for obvious software development related reasons.

The idea that a developer is going to allow a publisher to determine what platforms the game is going to be on AFTER the game starts development is hilarious.

>That's a whole lot of assertions made towards something you seem to have a whole lot of bias towards.
Holy fucking hell I love when people literally can't follow a conversation for more than three minutes and think I support something that I already said I think is dogshit.

He's 100% right, and the toothless hysterics from review-bombers does nothing but make them look like childish autismos. Fact.

But the dev still has to agree with the decision, though the publisher can try to pressure them into it, it’s ultimately a joint decision

you know you can read individual reviews to see which ones are genuine and which ones are part of the 'bombing' right?

People don't generally do that. People read article titles, not the content, they look at the score, not the reasoning.

Explain how The Outer Worlds had a trailer released that said "STEAM!" on it, and had not a single word about being on EGS, AND it had a Steam page, AAAND they were in the process of adding steam achievements right before we got a surprise announcement that it was gonna be EGS exclusive for a full calendar year.

Publishers do this shit ALL of the fucking time. They are allowed to blindside devs and fuck them over with stupid decisions that they have no say in. Don't be a retard.

The publishers can literally say "this is the platform this is going on or we'll pull funding/not release it at all".

Hit them in the only place they give a shit about and will listen to outside opinions over; the sales and PR around projects before they release. Torrenting does amazing things for giving upset people on PC the ability to never shell out another dollar to companies again., and hearing one bad thing is one great excuse a pirate was looking for. What are you going to do, send a lone email to their automated system, or join people in tanking a rating and leaving EXACTLY why the rating is tanking/they are an unhappy customer in a way they cannot avoid either mentioning or appealing to.

>People
Well I am not an human being then since I read at least 3-4 reviews before buying/downloading a game.

then that's their issue
I was responding to the user who called Steam's review system "useless" when it is obviously not.

>Review bombs are the only way that consumers can have their concerns voiced, if not addressed, in this current environment.
They're not addressed though. The crying children are rightfully dismissed while devs go about their business of making games.

If you want to scream into the void about a woman appearing in a Total War game, or a game not being sold on Steam, go for it. But don't pretend like you're making a difference.

You're all being ignored. No one cares about whatever Gamer Rage du Jour you're all shitting your pants over this week.

Right, however competing with an objectively inferior product that's only saving grace is buying exclusivity for games because Epic is running on Tencent and fortnite money isn't exactly fair.

>If people are so dissatisfied with something that they will go out of their way to leave negative feedback en masse then there is probably a reason.
The narrative right now is that gamers are just being entitled. They won't even entertain the notion of consumers making smart decisions.
But you're right, it isn't a bad thing. That's why the term "review bombing" even exists. It's so they can build up the idea that it's bad and awful, so that when it happens, they can dismiss any and all criticism out of hand without making a single constructive argument. Don't trust anyone who uses the term in a negative light.

>You're all being ignored
it gets "journalists" to start talking about, which spreads awareness to people who would not have known either way.

>openly shit on your customers

WOOOOOW HOW THE HELL WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW PEOPLE WERE GONNA GET MAD AT US FOR TRYING TO GOUGE THEM? BUGGED DEVELOPER MECHANICS

windows is the platform you stupid fuck

Those people are fucking morons. It says right on every review the actual playtime of the reviewer. Anything under 2 hours is a refunded review-bomb. Steam could even put 'refunded' on reviews whose owners get a refund.

They've been trying to push the "entitled" thing for awhile to cover for shitty product or buisiness practices.

Why does this thread exist? Why are the people who matter most responding while you sit at home, ignore the fact they are, and think you're saying something profound and intelligent when the only profound thing is the reviews seem to garner responses from who the reviewers wanted, and the intelligent response of developers/publishers would of been radio silence?

>I'm not responsible for 3 launching on the Epic Store guys, leave me alone
>wow these reviews make me reconsider publishing on Steam

well which is it

Review bombs are getting removed because they are irrelevant to the quality of the game itself.

Not only that but BL1 is over a decade old, BL2 came out in like 2012. Everyone has already played the games and has their opinions on it so a bunch of crying 'tards aren't going to be changing any minds any time soon. Nobody takes Steam reviews seriously anyways and review bombing because of a publisher decision is part of the problem since it doesn't address the subjective/objective qualities of the game, just the opinion of the writer's non-game-related opinion.

Basically: Review bomb reviews are getting removed because they aren't vidya, there's no way around it and any other argument always amounts to autists thinking they're making some sort of difference by sticking it to that big evil developer.

I'm not sure what the quality of the platform has to do with actually competing, could you elaborate? Is it because of the lack of features in EGS? Which is true, granted, but that's not really what drives competition.
The only way you could assert that EGS isn't competition as of yet is by pointing to the distinct lack of games, but given some time the library will grow, and future exclusives might not be timed anymore.

Dunno OP are you a fucking nigger? You better answer me too otherwise you'll be a double nigger.

This wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't stupid exclusive shit.

You're right, but the problem is that the "competition" here is a vastly inferior service. And this becomes frustrating when Epic is swinging their dick around, buying up exclusives without taking any steps towards correcting problems with their platform or even trying to generate any good will with consumers.
This is why everyone hates Epicfags, by the way. They're not just shilling a different service, but one that's complete garbage. There wouldn't be half as many people upset if some fags wanted to shill, say, GoG. At least that service fills out a niche in the market and has a leg up over Steam when it comes to DRM.

whoah dude I dont get why people are so upset by this its not like Epic has been yoinking games that otherwise would of been more accessible and wider spread in their own interests actively against the games' player count interests.fucking retards amirite

Their security is terrible and they leak bank info. No one who understands the nuances is using the Epic launcher because they don't offer anything. Other, smaller, launches are cheaper and have fewer security leaks and Steam has free marketing via the storefront and other useful features. Epic doesn't have any single point about them worth mentioning, which is why they're paying people not to use their superior competitor's product. It's an unsustainable business model that they're trying to use to get their foot in the door, but it's failing. They'll run out of money quickly this way and have nothing to show for it. That's why it's not real competition. You're only competing if your product has some merit of its own migrating to. What Epic's doing is underhanded, and is proof that they can't offer Steam or GoG or Discord or any other platform legitimate competition.

No user reviews will never stop be useful when you're paying money for something. First thing I do when shopping on amazon for something is look at the customer reviews, some are just there but some are really useful and can sway you to purchasing something you wouldn't have outside of the advertising zeitgeist

Steam put a new system in place to remove review bombs from the total score a few weeks ago so this whole argument and Randy pitchford are retarded

This is the thought process of a Steamshill.

No wonder publishers and the big bad developers following rules are giving you guys the finger.

Work on your analogies, pal.

Review bombing is and always will be invalid except for in specific cases where an update breaks a game, and even then it's only valid if you only "bomb" the specific game in question. Review bombing a game that was developed by a company that has no relation to the actual game with the issue you have is retarded. The purpose of the review system is to measure how good a game is, it being an Epic store exclusive doesn't have any bearing on its quality unless something within the EGS is causing performance issues.

Because posting screenshots of it on twitter supports the narrative of "gamers are entitled manbabies!" and its free likes, free retweets and free clout in the social media ecosystem.

No one in this day and age wants to deal the consequences of their actions. Developers need to be fucking consoled because people said bad things about their games or their business decisions.

The fact that Randy equates negative reviews and negative reactions to the business decisions of his game's release to getting physically abused, shows just how much of a fucking baby he is

>The proper response is to be in opposition to 2K
All of the Borderlands games are published by 2k.

You said it's fine to punish the code monkeys for following decisions. Don't come here moving goal posts Steamshill.

This is what anons should be focusing on but aren't. Randy is lying through his teeth and valve has a complete and competent system that counters review bombs that everyone is automatically opted into. Argument should exist in the first place because valve DOES censor review bombs.

You're correct. Fuck the epic store

>bitchford smacks gamer in the face
>gamer shoves him against a wall
>"s-see? you deserved it, gamer." *dials police*

>equating negative game reviews to physical violence.
Jesus these people are fucking retarded.

The most important thing to take from this however is that the developers actually care about negative reviews, despite their claiming that such review bombs don't matter.
The reason review bombs matter is because they allow the customer base to actually make a point about a game/a developer. As a customer, I'll actually pay more attention to a review bomb in many cases, because such things allow me to realize the developmer did something really stupid or that something changed in the game so the older scores on other sites like metacritic are out of date (among other things).
At the end of the day, I'll actually browse the reviews to see what's wrong when I see a review bomb, and then make my decision, whereas with other review ratings, whether positive or negative, I'll tend to see it as a thumbs up or thumbs down.
A good example of this was Stellaris, with so many changes since release. Whether you like it or not (and I realize this remains a point of contention in the community), the fact is that I was able discern that the developer for the game is very unstable in the direction they're taking the game and I realize that if I buy the game, I'm taking a risk that what I might like about it now, might change in the future.
On the other hand, DOTA2 had a review bomb for a while and after reading it, I saw that it was basically just a bunch of butt blasted chinks who were mad about some apparently "racist" comment/action from some player. This helped me realize that Valve wasn't a bunch of faggots who would ban skilled professionals over politically incorrect speech/actions.

Ultimately, review bombs are a valuable source of info for consumers, if you take the time to read them. And frankly, this is most likely why developers love that epic doesn't allow reviews and why they hate that valve does.

I hate PCfags so god damn much.

What the fuck is wrong with PCfags?

The 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, commonly known in mainland China as the June Fourth Incident (Chinese: 六四事件, liùsì shìjiàn), were student-led demonstrations in Beijing (the capital of the People's Republic of China) for the establishment of basic human and press rights and against the Communist-led Chinese government in mid-1989. More broadly, it refers to the popular national movement inspired by the Beijing protests during that period, sometimes called the '89 Democracy Movement (Chinese: 八九民运, bājiǔ mínyùn). The protests were forcibly suppressed after Chinese Premier Li Peng declared martial law. In what became known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre, troops with assault rifles and tanks fired at the demonstrators trying to block the military's advance towards Tiananmen Square. The number of civilian deaths was internally estimated by the Chinese government to be near or above 10,000.

It's not a better deal. Epic offers a worse deal, but they're handing out bags of cash to bribe publishers into blacklisting Steam. Why do you people conventionally leave this key point out? GoG and Discord offer legitimately better deals, and no one's complaining about them because all they offer is another option. Epic is bribing people to take away options because they know their platform isn't as good as the competitors.

Because it's a better deal for publishers. A lump sum, and they take less of a chunk of the sales. Epic sucks, but until Steam even comes close to offering a comparable deal the publishers aren't wrong for taking it.

He's right though, unironically.

He stole a lot of money from people like Sega and embezzled it to BL2 so he can't be that retarded.

>It's why Tim Sweeney can say that developers and publishers are all that matter and consumers can either eat shit or die

Yes they are wrong for taking it. And Steam should never consider offering a similar deal because the "deal" you're talking about is called under the table bribery. It's illegal, and there's a reason Epic won't cop to it. Offering publishers a good deal is fine. GoG and Discord and itch.io and many other small name digital distributors offer good deals at 10% or less. Epic doesn't offer a good deal, they offer a mediocre deal of 15% and then hand the publisher a wad of cash under the table and tell the publisher not to sell their game to anybody else. That's not competition, that's not a legitimate deal, that's straight up bribery. It benefits absolutely nobody and Epic is only doing it to get their name out their, hoping that if they strong arm enough people into using their dogshit platform that they'll grow complacent and stop questioning it before Epic runs out of the money it's using to pay off these morally questionable publishers. These aren't legitimate business tactics, these are things that will land Epic in court when they finally get caught.

He can approach 2K and say "I don't want this game on Steam" and it will be considered. Developers and publishers view Epic as just another launcher, for the publishers it's one that offers more money.

If Randy were to put forward not releasing on PS4 he'd be laughed at, PC is different. No matter what though 2K decides, and if they were to say no PS4, or no Steam/Epic, that'd be what happens.

I knew you were a troll. you have zero evidence to back up your chinese created beliefs.

You're a fucking shortsighted retard. If you hate Valve and what they've done to the industry (as you should) but like epic you're a fucking retard. Plain and simple.

Before Valve you know how buying a game on PC worked? You fucking bought a disk and you owned it forever. You installed the game without any bullshit. Singleplayer games didn't need an internet connection. It was wonderful.

Then Valve came around with Steam and fucking retarded pieces of human garbage like you came out of their fucking crevices and defended it. "Wow this is wonderful, I sure love being fucked in the ass because I like this company!"

They didn't think about the future, they didn't think the success of one launcher would lead to more. They didn't think.

Now here we are again. Epic is buying exclusives but it's okay because it negatively effects a company you hate. "Please fuck me in the ass more on the off chance Valve can smell your cum in my ass."

There actually isn't actually, and I very much agree, but the way Epic is going about it isn't competition.

They honestly should've postponed their store and released it with at least all the features that people find the necessary on Steam. Stuff like user reviews, forums, regional pricing/currency, a fucking shopping cart, and whatnot. Not everything, but the absolute essential.

But they chose to release it undercooked, and when they realised they did it unless they did it on purpose just to pull this shit, they started paying up publishers and devs for the exclusive rights to sell games on their store to grab consumer attention, since they knew it'd be a loosing battle against Steam, even with higher revenue spit for devs and free games every two weeks or something I dunno.

Yes and no. It's certainly can be done in poor judgment and seem childish in some cases, but on the other hand, it's probably one of the few ways for people to get a legitimate message across to a company about their product for one reason or another. Look at Rockstar when they C&D'd the OpenIV mod, they got shat on hard with poor reviews because it was one of the only ways to show them people were not taking their bullshit.

It very much is, just not for the consumer. The publishers pic the distribution network that will give them the highest profit. That's what Epic is competing for, through revenue splits and exclusivity payments.

Or even worse, he's calling the company as a whole a victim, which is even more retarded. Industry types who don't understand the absurdity of saying shit like this only feel as comfortable as they do because journos and journo-adjacent wannabes deep throat industry cock 24/7 365.

Consoles buy exclusivity to third party games. Also using consoles as the gold standard is fucking nuts, the whole reason Epic's exclusivity is so fucked up is because it could lead to what's happened on consoles.

Well, yeah. Why would I want to install another launcher for another fucking webstore when most of my games are on Steam?

S-Should I?

Hey guys just stopping by this thread to let you all know that soon (very soon - this month), Valve will be announcing that their 30% take on revenue will be cut in half, to 15%. A few developers are already aware of Valve's plan to do this. See Microsoft releasing Halo on Steam, and Bethesda preemptively announcing their upcoming games will be on Steam.

Wrong, EGS just already failed the competition for consumers but won the competition for publishers/developers.

only way not to be is to pirate, chink

So why wasn't he tagged for having child porn or does he get a free pass for being a leftist?

You forget the bigass paycheck Epic gave 2k for the exclusivity + the copies they will say on Epic with better margins. They already won

Exclusivity deals are the excact fucking opposite of competition you retard. They are literally paying devs to avoid having to compete.

The Chinese constantly review bombs games for the dumbest reasons.

I did pirate them. I would had bought them on steam though, oh well sorry chinky.

So are first-party and Steam exclusives but those seem to be a-okay with Valve drones.

Way to completely miss the point, dumbass

I think the most fucked up thing about this is how publishers are in a win-win situation and will get tons of money regardless of what happens.

They sell out to Epic, get a bazillion million dolars upfront, get backlash, tarnish reputation, but will get money anyway beause if the game doesn't well, Epic will still pay their ass to compensate the lack sold units. And then, despite tarnishing their reputation by being a greedy fuck, steam users will buy the game in droves once it drops on steam, to prove publishers that their choice was a bad one, making even more money.

And then they'll just pull the exact same shit with the next game. Get upfront money from Epic, get more money from Epic if game fails, sell game on steam, get a bunch of money from suckers, rinse and repeat. One could say that steam user wouldn't fall for it twice, but we all know the avarage steam is retarded, and would try again. Maybe a third time would be different, but until then, the publisher already made a fuckload of money by doing absolutely nothing but being a piece of shit.

I already can see Metro Exodus on Steam to sell truckloads more than on Epic, and for Deep Silver to announce their next, non-shitty, game exclusive to the Epic Store, and maximize the shit out of their profits.

Let me stop you there.

It isn't a win-win for Epic because they keep loosing money that way. But for publishers, they have nothing to lose other than reputation and they don't give a rats ass about that, they'll just keep making millions of dollars in a short time and their game doesn't even have to do well on EGS for it to happen.

The whole CoD thing wasn't this big of stink though

Because they're trying to prove a point in internet debate. You think most of these 13 year olds actually have the constitution to wait 6 months to a year to play a game they actually want to play?

Based Randy, making Steam cocksuckers cry and cry and cry.

Before valve PC gaming was seen as a joke beyond stuff like RTS, MMOs and a handful of shooters. That's why so many PC series went multiplatform or just straight up died, the result of this is that now a lot of games are console focused and PC is an afterthought.

You can't have digital distribution without DRM without having a ton of piracy, sure GoG exists but they're not doing so great and I'm sure if there was no steam and only GoG PC gaming would look a lot less attractive to companies.

>Before valve PC gaming was seen as a joke beyond stuff like RTS, MMOs and a handful of shooters.

Oh, we're talking about a made-up imaginary world?

I've seen it so many times but it still gives me a chuckle.

So, he was Biff from Back to the Future?

He's right - if you were around at the time, then you'd know the PC market was considered niche and AAA releases were few and far between.

Are you going to pretend that PC gaming didn't get absolutely shafted by console-centric devs? When PC got a port of a game from the 6th gen more often than not the game would be some bootleg shit put together by interns, assuming it's just not a straight up god awful port. Did you play DMC3 on PC? Or RE4? They make modern console ports look like masterpieces. Those companies didn't give a shit about PC back then that's why the ports were so bad.

I actually kind of agree with him in this case, though. Review-bombing isn't the solution, there is no solution, shitty company is shitty and nobody can do anything, it's the same story as it's always fuckin been

You're all autists if you fell for this

most people on this site are below 25, or started on consoles and moved to PC later.

That was after the console merge. Steam arrived in the peak Pc-games era about 4 years prior to all the aaa pc devs jumping ship to multiplat cancer.

Choices a company makes matters. It's important to know if your money is going to pedophiles like randy. Theres more then just quality of a product when buying said product supports things you directly disagree with.

There's nothing wrong, indeed. None of the garbage Epic picks up is even remotely interesting, and even then if you were interested in say The Division 2 or Anno, they would be on Uplay.

The Chinese fucked it up for everyone as usual.

I've seen people OH NO NO NO posting about these games Epic has been buying exclusivity for and Metro is the only one I had even heard off beforehand.
I'm seriously doubting their tactic but if it gets Valve off their fat ass and improve their platform then it's all good.

Phoenix Point looks interesting, but that's probably gonna be alright at launch and only get really good after a year or so of updates.

Why isn't everybody just constantly reminding this guy about his CP USB stick?

steam literally just launched a system that differentiates between these sorts of reviews and other reviews to make review bombs less effective. this is literally the first case where this system has been in place, and he's still acting like steam doesn't do anything to help them?

The best part is steam reviewed are "do you recommend or do you not recommend" and you can 100% not recommend someone to buy something and support a company that is anti consumer rights. All the "it's a previous game so you shouldn't mess with it" is retards. I don't recommend people buy stalker because the devs who made it are gone and that's seen as valid. It was okay to not recommend skyrim over paid mods as a form of protest against Bethesda, but suddenly it's not okay to tell people to not support multi million dollar corporations fucking consumers.

Then post about it on your shitty blog or spam the publisher on Twitter. Save the review site for reviews

With no other way to communicate with devs, what did you expect? There's currently no proper method for consumers to communicate with developers or publishers. In platforms like twitter, reddit, resetera or whatever, they can just ignore our ass and your complaint/criticism all they want, as legitimate as the criticism might be, because they're just like that.

So users use the only thing that make a dev take notice, and sometimes do something, lowering their game's on score on Steam. Because people are gonna see these sudden lower score, read into it, and probably want to stay clear from the game if the devs are pulling some scummy shit.

It is abusing the system? Kinda yea, but with no other way for devs to actually acknowledge their consumers in a way other than "Thanks for buying a billion copies of our game, suckers"

Hes absolutely right though. Review moving a game for reasons outside of the game itself is stupid and further proof why no one will ever take this industry seriously as long as it’s filled with whiny entitled babies.

The only time I've ever heard of a Chinese review bomb is some game not supporting Chinese.

Epic don't really care about competing for consumers. They realized that steam have been buttfucking developers for over a decade and have recognized their opening in the market is to actually work with publishers and devs. This is competing with steam hence its competition. Competition does not mean trying to be the best dicksucker of any retard consumer that mouthbreaths his way into a store.

Oh wow at least the retarded metaphor isn't a fucking food one for once. That's new for this shithole.
The competition part of the whole free market competition thing is against other companies. Securing deals with devs is a part of business and a strategy to compete with other companies. Its got nothing to do with selling the same exact product and just seeing who sells it better.

>100 sales x ($60 x .7) = $4,200

You'd need to have at least 80 sales from every 100 you'd have on steam to break even, which I doubt very much happens on Epic given that the majority of the userbase is fortnite kids.
Hell, you need MORE users to buy your game on Epic than Steam if you're selling at $50 like Metro Exodus is.

He's right, it has no bearing on the quality of the product and shouldn't affect its review score. The same goes for politics. However, Randy Pitchford is indeed a massive retard and he isn't worth your time.

I worked a lot for people like him. As a simple employee in a buisness, when bosses, company clients or even slight higher coworkers act like your friend you should be careful. Until they get pressure, they are perfectly fine, and when not and confronted they take it on you. If you watch the fucked PAX reveal, he is almost showing his true colors. At first sign of trouble he was laughing it off, trying to keep it cool. When he is having a slight confrontation with the tech guys you can see the man getting impatient and nervous. By the end crisis adverted but a bit more and he would have snapped live into his true self.
The twitter shit of the last few days is exactly showing what I mean. The dude at first was laughing about it, saying stuff like “make hl3 valve, and we put it on steam”, but the pressure from his OWN fans kept going and he started to damage control and deflect it by saying “fuck off and talk to 2K about it, leave me alone”. Now it’s personal, he is finally like usual ranting to the same fucking people that were excited for the game.

I dont care about Borderlands that much to bother about this, might play coop some day when it’s on Steam with some friends, but Randy is not the type I wanna give money to.

I don't believe them, there are too many variables. The fact that Epic didn't release direct sales figures but just a vague value is my biggest gripe. If they really wanted to prove how sucessfull it was, they would've straight up told us how much it sold. I bet it didn't even break a million units in a month's time, that's why they used a multiplier value over direct sales figures.

CDPR did that when they released Witcher 3 and gave us numbers and how it had sold more on GoG than it had on Steam at launch.

it probably doesn't matter if everyone who wanted were to wait. There will still be a ton of people who will buy it because they don't want to inconvenience themselves, and the money Epic is giving them/saving them will hold them out for long enough for that sweet, sweet steam money. this also encourages people to double dip (buy on console then wait and buy on Steam again), I've been seeing a lot of people say they'll just double dip. What's the point in being loyal to vocal community when you don't need them immediately to stay afloat? People who work day in and day out, who just buy whatever they feel like because they can, will still fund them along with Epic. These people totally exist. I have a friend who saw the shitshow if post Fallout 76 and bought two copies anyways because, "Fuck it, I make money." and also BFV even though he was constantly shitting on it up the way up until release. He doesn't play either anymore.

Is that his house? Why does it look like a fucking kids fun house?
