Yes we do.
The exclusivity deal is only 6 months, and they paid $100mil for that.
I'll be waiting to get it on the customer friendly platform: GoG.

It is equivalent to protesting

Wait, i thought he got arrested for money laundering and owning child pornography! Why is he still alive?

BTFO of those steamtards

why the fuck do gamers think they are entitled to the ability to communicate their opinion to game devs? they should respect the developers artistic vision, it's their decision what happens with a game and if you don't like it you can fuck off and play something else

Let me guess... Because of the exclusives and not because they are good.

The problem is that redditors and newfags are basedboys and can't accept the EGS because it is supported by Chinese who hate sjw.

Gam3rs should go fuck themselves, eat shit and die forever also. There I said it.

more like pc gamers act entitled, like they do when games don't come to pc or denuvo etc..
also thats fine, piracy doesn't affect sales anyway remember :^)

BECAUSE IF I THINK A GAME IS BAD IM GOING TO LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW

Because you have the mentality of a 5 year old throwing a tantrum in a grocery store because they didn't get the cereal they wanted.

There never will be a better way. Publishers do not fucking care unless you affect their bottom line. It may not be "fair," but it's the only thing that makes them give a shit.

Meanwhile Valve doesn't even feel threatened enough to care.

Wow, I would have thought Epic would have at least made an attempt at damage control. But no, they're doubling down and telling consumers to fuck off. Seems to me they only care about publishers and throwing money at them so they only get their games.
Epic is the embodiment of everything wrong with the modern games industry. They don't care about games or gamers, they only care about money.

Chinese are quintessential sjws.

If people can only post constructive reviews then it nullifies the accessibility of the system, even shitty reviews help a person know if someone is being irrational or not. If companies dislike it then they should consider their fans more when making decisions.

1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre.

This. Where else would players voice their opinions other than randomly on twitter where the devs never see anything? At least both publishers, developers AND players can see reviews and take their own conclusions.

I'm not sure these chucklefucks realize that some of us aren't fans of the shit they are trying to coerce us into using their launcher for. Perhaps try to wine and dine us rather than acting like assholes entitled to my money.

All this shit does is make me more disgusted with the state of AAA gaming and play my classics and indie games more. My Steam library has over 300 titles in it, and I've probably played/completed a third. I could spend the rest of my gaming life playing discounted ~2 year old titles. We don't need them. They need us.

It just pisses me off that they're passing up the opportunity to destroy Steam. If they included the same features as Steam does such as friends lists, messaging and modding support with improved store curation - people would come. Instead they're doing the easy thing and just buying out the exclusivity because it's less work.

reminder: only download from the skulls.

I have none of these listed

Randy is a cunt but he's pretty based here.

STEAMDRONE GONNA SCREAM

I can't think of any time that would have gotten the message across. Review bombing is much more effective and actually gets you their attention.

cant wait til this pedo gets busted and killed in prison

>people seriously considered to buy his game after Battleblunder
Sadly the zoomers won't care and may get him out of bankruptcy

This people only respond when you fuck with their money

That doesn't get the message across

based gaben hiding review bombs was the best decision they could have done

Just don't buy the game or wait for the Steam release , ffs they want money so vote with your wallet . Bitching about it 24/7 is not going to change anything.

The message it gives me is that I want to buy 10 copies of every EGS exclusive just to spite you.

Randy makes me not even want to play the damn game. Forget waiting 6 months for Steam and forget pirating, I don't even wanna fucking touch the damn thing. He's such a loose cannon on Twitter. What possible benefits does he bring Gearbox and 2k? I would have ousted him years ago.

yes it will, it worked for fortnite when we wanted PUBG dead and it will work for this

Piracy

Or you know I could just go play a goof game instead.

And people will try and argue this point by saying to use social media when that is the worst way to actually communicate.
Companies literally hire community managers as buffers between the developers who can actually make changes to the game and the fans, specifically so they do not have to be exposed to us.
Twitter you will get ignored unless you are saying something positive about their game or company and get blocked if you say something negative while getting a lot of likes and traction.
Developers openly admit that they do not go to reddit and read customer feedback because the negative comments are "bad for their mental health"

Review bombing at the least gets game journos to write articles about it which then get to the eyes of developers, but they will still not care because of the twitter echo chamber who will worship the ground developers walk on and protect them

>Implying you'll make a difference with your autistic spite.

We've tried, didn't work. Not suprising that the only option left is being used.

But this is objectively false. A game I used to play, ARK, has an official forum, an official reddit, and an official steam forum. When they tweaked fliers a few years back people got loud on all of those platforms as well as review bombing them. So why did that bombing happen in spite of all those "effective means of communication with developers"?

>only Hollywood block busters are negatively impacted by piracy
That reminds me of this bit of research payed for with Hollywood money that tried to find out why ticket sales in China fell off a cliff, where even theaters had to shut down,, after they had been doing so well in recent years since their government decided to open the flood gates. It turned out that the reasons was that people just thought the movies were garbage.

Because these faggots work for us, and its about time they start acting like it

ATTENTION PIRATEFAGS

Where do you guys download your torrents? I heard from some particularly paranoid friends that not even skulls on piratebay are safe without a VPN. Fitgirl doesn't have shit like DUSK, Kenshi or Rimworld either. I miss kickass torrents and that one game torrent site that died years ago that I cannot remember the name of for some reason

Modding shit came to Steam after it had been going for, what, 8 years?

Yes, Epic Store is barebones, too bare really. But expecting them to have a comparable feature set to Steam is beyond fucktarded.

imagine giving this man money

He really can't handle the banter and he has nothing to base anything on. Gallop told everyone to fuck off and that he basically had a free loan from backers and that he doesn't need them anymore but at least he isn't getting into twitter fights because he is just a soulless money grubbing asshole now and knows it.

Randy is a fucking egotistical cunt and cannot STAND differing opinions or people telling him he is the asshole that he is. It conflicts too much with his own self-image.

You know, I want to be disgusted and surprised that this abomination came out of this city. But I'm really not. If there is a just God out there he will burn this shithole to the ground.

didnt this guy have kiddy porn on a usb why isnt he in jail?

Because devs ignore forums and social media posts but pay attention to reviews since they hurt the bottom line.

A lot of assumptions there bro. If he was goign to pirate why would he even give a fuck about what launcher/DRM the cracker has to break through? Please think through you posts more. Only buyfags give a shit about DRM and platform.

Piracy generally doesn't affect sales, because the pirate was either never going to pay for the game even if the yarrrr version wasn't avalable, or couldn't afford it so isn't a lost sale either. In fact, I've bought plenty of games I initially pirated because I didn't know if they were shit or not. Or at least I did. Now I don't even bother to pirate because most games aren't even worth playing and those that are either start out at cheap 'early access prices' or go on sale for the price of a coffee.

>I'll be waiting to get it on the customer friendly platform: GoG.
I have bad news friend. GOG might not even be around by the time they work out the rights to a DRM-free version of the game. They're losing money and laying off employees. It makes me really sad, GOG is the only place I buy digital games, but they're definitely going to be shutting down soon.

It's the free market and they're trying to regulate it in their favor so they can cover up their fuckups.

>anons actually think and believe saying fuck you on twitter to some whos will cause the game to fail
holy shit I thought the other boards were fucking around when they said Yea Forums was retarded but I didn't think you were THIS retarded

Because the developers did not respond through those channels in an effective fashion and this is an actual problem with the game they were playing, hence leaving a bad review for that game.

>The old good story tellers of the industry are with the fans almost always
>If they're still working then they're completely silent because they don't want to be singled out and fired

Feels bad man. I hope we get more devs like Chet again

"I don't like your opinion so I'm ignoring it" isn't communication.

>So why did that bombing happen in spite of all those "effective means of communication with developers"?

wow it's almost like any sane person would say the same thing to review bombers

everybody who isn't a psychopath thinks that you people are insane. normal people, the bulk of people who buy video games, aren't interesting in this insane EGS vs. steam drama. when they see that they have to go use a different store to buy a game, they say "okay", because they're not maniacs.

the message you're getting across is "I'm an stupid lunatic"

First rule of pirating is.
NO SPOON FEEDING

You can say the same shit about Anthem.
It isn't fair, but you're held to the standards of the competitor.

Everything.

Review bombing annoys me because it's disruptive, just like protests or riots to in real life because of how disruptive they are. But the effectiveness of both makes them necessities. As obnoxious as they can be, they work most of the time.

>PC a gamer

IMAGINE BEING AT COMPUTERS

They did though. Even had explanations on "why things had to change". They still got review bombed.

this always works so well for the companies

Reminder, since Battle Born, Gearbox finance is limited.
Each dollar they spend on a shill, is one dollar not spent on the game. If you see lots of people praising it without having anything substantial to show, you should reconsider preordering it.

>Oh, there is no interest in this title anymore, lets shelf the franchise never to see the light of day, and never sell the rights
>Oh, we released at a bad time
>Oh, PC gaming really is dying, put less effort into ports (if that is possible)
>Oh, we need to adopt [trend]/games as a service because no one seems to play single-player or co-op anymore
Yeah, "We refuse to use the Epic Store until they stop using shitty anti-consumer practices" is for sure the only message the out of touch idiots in suits will hear.

99.9% of everyone here has nothing of value worth stealing. they just like to larp and think they're important

all of those companies make/publish their own games and even if i hate their platforms they have their reasons to keep games exclusives

What a few other anons said, plus the fact that Randy's tweet in the OP is wrong. You can try to take things to subreddits, official forums, or Twitter, but those are all heavily curated and it's really common for dissenters to be muted or have their posts removed outright. Devs who don't censor their community are the exception, not the rule.

>popular films get pirated more
wow who would've thought

in OPs picture

If you honestly think Epic will bury its head in the sand instead of actually investigating why users won't buy their game then you're being delusional.

Exclusives are cancer.
Since it is aggressively pushed now, we are dragged into a new era without our consent.
But don't think we go down without a fight.

For me personally review bombing is OK, if it hits the right target. Gearbox deserves it and on top of that, they are known to employ shills. Remember all those hipsters playing BattleBorn in the promos? You saw the same people playing Law Breakers. So don't pretend hype industry doesn't exist.

everymen definitely don't spend their time screeching at people on twitter and spamming reviews on steam

It just works

Oh. That actually makes more sense. I wouldn't be surprised if the chicken bear came out of this concrete affront to God, but now that I know it came out of mid Ohio I understand EVERYTHING. South and Mid Ohio should be avoided. NE Ohio is the only salvageable part of this state.

because reviews mean nothing

You're missing the point, because you're an idiot. I'm not going to buy multiple copies of the game, but your awful shitty behavior makes me unsympathetic toward your desires. I hope you fail. I want your enemies to succeed. When most normal people see a review bomb, this is the way they feel.

Nah it's how Yea Forums changed. When I joined back in 08 they would be so elitist that if you posted a "lol" or an old meme you'd be bullied out of a thread.

We need to go back to being elitist

You know as well as i do that the review bobing was completely justified. That game shipped broken, stayed broken, sold dlc that made the game even more broken, proceeded to ship a new broken game off the back of the first broke game, and never admitted fault once.

What the fuck, Randy.

>It's the principle of the matter.

It makes companies assmad, which is reason enough to do it.

No shit, retard, that's what reviews are for. That's all the more reason you should be AGAINST review bombing, which makes user review scores useless to the customer who is trying to figure out what other people actually think about the game.
The more user scores get decoupled from the actual quality of the game, the less seriously customers will take them and so the less seriously they'll take even your legitimate negative review.

ASCII dicks that say "FUCK EPIC" are simply gamers communicating, as is our Gamer Right.

None of these out of touch corporate suits give a shit about consumers.

A company not run by petulant children that actually cares about what potential customers think about them will look at reviews bombs and see an opportunity.
Look at all of these people that are passionate about your game!
Look and see how they make it crystal clear what they want from you!

Maybe you can't change what they want you to change or do what they want you to do.
That's fine.

Surveillance and data collection is a key part of modern internet. You cannot use the internet at all without being spied on in some fashion. That said, the internet is now so ubiquitous to our culture that it is practically impossible for most people to escape. Even if you personally did not own or use a single electronic device, digital surveillance is inescapable without a life of total solitude living in a cave in the mountains. That is not a suitable life for most of us, but that doesn't mean we have to be okay with being constantly watched. We can still pick and choose what services to use based on privacy; I'd rather have 999 people watching my every move than 1000 people. If my personal information HAS to be hoarded, I'd rather it be hoarded by a reliable (as reliable as one who spies on innocent people can be) institution who is more likely to be secure rather than a literal nobody who might keep everything stored in plain text on a freely accessible server.

The overwhelming majority of the customer base thinks you're a bunch of stupid retards and will only be more inclined to buy the game as a consequence of your behavior.

"They're complaining about it because they're SCARED". Maybe. Or maybe they want people to know what you're doing, so they say "I'm going to buy the game to show my support, and show these review bombers that they don't speak for every consumer".

the exclusivity should be the least of your problems. besides, aren't you Yea Forums who is supposed to think most of those exclusives are shit?

the real important thing is the fact that media is pushing epic's launcher as the "savior" of PC, when in actuality, it is far worse than any of its similar launchers in every fucking aspect. and guess what? normalfags are believing it. you need normalfags to see how bad epic's launcher is. they don't care about exclusive games because they're a bunch of console apologists who just want to see console-like wars on PC

Seems to me like a good solution is Steam showing what keywords come up in the majority of reviews

>But expecting them to have a comparable feature set to Steam is beyond fucktarded.
Steam's been around for fucking 15 years and had a multitude of features added/updated. You honestly think Epic couldn't have learned from those additions and implemeted some of those basic features when launching their own platform?

When most "normal people" see a game with a shitton of negative reviews, they just avoid the game. Exactly what review bombers expect normal people to do.
Why the fuck would you take "normal people" as the standard in this situation if they don't give a single fuck?

>my opinion is so important and it matters because I'm a consumer and they need to know about it!
You're really dedicated to this bait.
Buying a game doesn't show anything. It doesn't mean anything. They can't tell why you bought the game. It's not a visible thing.

>admitting to being a basedfaggot
I won the argument.

Because like a worker's protest it actually hurts the companies.
And they won't do anything for you until you show them that without you they're fucked

Because setting up Twitter to block anyone that uses keywords that indicate they're making a complaint you don't want to address is easy and has a substantially smaller impact on sales.

Cause they can just block it, and posting on twitter doesn't hurt sales like a reviewbomb does.
Sales are the important thing here, its why fucking every big company complains about reviewbombs. Customers have learned that "vote with your wallet" doesn't stop these retarded companies from being retarded, so they hit them where it hurts instead.

A Taiwanese game got review bombed because it made fun of China's government. Do you think that's a fair reason to not buy a game?

reviews are for recommendations about the game you're reviewing. giving a bad review to borderlands 2 because of some characteristic of borderlands 3 is objectively abusing the system.

This goes probably for the majority who is being denied access through steam. I bet we can go and copy the save files from the pirated version to the steam one as soon as it releases.

I'm sure bribery has something to do with it

Yes. If the game is pushing political ideals you find repugnant that's a perfectly reasonable reason not to purchase it. I think the ideals that led them to review bomb it are repugnant myself, but that's hardly relevant.
It's not giving a bad review to Borderlands 2 because of some characteristic of Borderlands 3, it's because of a characteristic of Borderlands 2, namely the money from purchasing it goes to developers and publishers the support anti consumer practices.

Fucking federals are lazy. You can't even bait.

No they can't. Nobody has ever set up a user review system to facilitate activism. They're for reviews of the content of the game intrinsically.

In that case the devs played with actual fire.

It is not hypocrisy. There is literally nothing anyone can do to escape surveillance, but just because you're being spied on doesn't mean you have to accept being spied on by even more people. Here's a common scenario based on the same idea that might make more sense to you. I don't want to pay taxes, but since I HAVE to pay taxes, all I can do is try to minimize how much I pay; is it hypocritical to say I don't like the idea of taxes while I'm paying taxes?

Why not just have a separate review score for each publisher where people can legitimately leave feedback for anti consumer decisions like this? Then display it under the score of each game published by them with just as much emphasis, like:

>Publisher: 40% positive

This way review bombers aren't fucking up the scores of random games for everyone else, and people who don't want to support shitty publishers still get the heads up they need from the negative publisher score.

It was really popular with normies for some reason when it first came out. Makes sense that in 2009 normies hadn't yet fully invaded Yea Forums. Now that it's basically Facebook in terms of the number of normies, suddenly it seems like everyone here likes the game.

Customers would invariably assume that negative developer / publisher ratings are for past mistakes and not relevant for the game they're considering buying right then and there. The people who are critical of developers and publishers are the people who already know the truth and don't need it to be stated. Understand the point of these review bombings is not to educate people who are already educated. It's to help prevent the uneducated from wasting their money. Putting the reviews in the perfectly made quarantine zone will just ensure the people who need to read this criticism the most never will. It's a good idea on paper, but at the end of the day normans are only interested in the rating of the specific game they're looking at. They don't give a fuck about where their money is going or what sort of practices they're supporting because they're not discriminating customers. It's up to the informed to help those who aren't because nobody else is looking out for these people. Companies who care about those customers aren't getting review bombed in the first place.

Don't buy it? Not agreeing with randy but the guy seems retarded if he thinks bad reviews do anything.

no sweettie i can play the game but no paying for it thats the option i did with metro and ashen , if the devbs do something i dont like im not going to whine an cry like /v im going to pirate and seed torrents about their game if they make enough money for a sequel if they not ,,,,bad luck regardless i will play their games but unfortunately for them for free

>Epic wants to kike you out of as much money as possible
>review bombers want Epic to stop doing that
>clearly Epic are the good guys here

Randy Bobandy has been CEO of Gearbox for 20 years now. This is just pent up rage from the Battleborn days.

bad reviews are how you let a developer/publisher know exactly why you aren't buying it

Bad reviews from journo's don't do much.
Bad reviews from users do a lot.

I don't like the series but it does have some merit. They got more right for a looter shooter than any of the other companies who have tried.

The pre orders are insane already so it is rare for anything like that to work. If epic is doing anything illegal, like so many claim they do on steam, then do something about it.

Try everything. Revirw bombing shoots everyone in the foot. We saw randy's initial reaction being one of spite before steam's review beta kicked in. He said something along the lines of being fine with future games being epic exclusives.

If the information that epic sells isnt actually grounds for condemnation, similar to the data google already sells about you, data even resturaunts and every day shops gather as well and sell, then it should not be made as big of an issue as it is right now. No one can escape being a statiatic anymore.

No, it's real.

I don't see it but okay. Still retarded to give them any attention.

>Reviews are for making purchase recommendations
They are for making PLAY recommendations, retard.

Consider you can't legally play the game without purchasing it I'd say this is a distinction without a difference.

being vocal about your reasons for not buying something is the only way to get them to change.

fell free to do it i will torrent and seed their games keep playing them but now for free , piratery spread like wildfire here (southamerica) and now thanks to the epic debacle is going to be like the good old 90s a new generaation of crackers and pirates to spite the devs better for my wallet because will keep playing their games for free like the golden 90s

Borderlands is probably the worst offender when it comes to bullet sponges. No other game do I run out of ammo at every boss despite landing 90+% of the shots on target.

>I really hope he has some legal ground to sue whoever the worthless piece of trash was who first started that disgusting rumor.

t. Randy

It's not the only way but it's the most reasonable way.

Neither.

I never said Epic are the good guys.

>I'd say this is a distinction without a difference
Retard.

>Neither.
Then you're a discriminating customer and this entire discussion has nothing to do with you.

Excuse me? You're trying to make a semantic argument out of nowhere like it fucking matters. Go fuck yourself.

So it's illegal for me to borrow a friends game then? I see user. I guess I'm a bad goy

If these companies had their way that's exactly what would happen.

Not really. Not gonna go to a supermarket and start screaming about a product I don't like. I'll just buy something else I do like.

You brainless stupid troglodyte motherfucker. THE POINT OF THE ORIGINAL POSTER CLAIMING IT WAS ABOUT PURCHASES WAS BECAUSE HE CLAIMS THE PURCHASE STORE MATTERS

>If there's a review bomb that hasn't been based on logical reasons to not recommend a purchase, I've yet to hear of it

THE WAY YOU GET THE GAME DOESN'T MATTER NUMBNUTS

KILL YOURSELF

i started posting here when i was 11 in 2007

I saw it like 2 days ago. Lurk moar.

This!
I share my steam library all the time with the family sharing mode. Must be considered a super villain by now.

I disagree. If a group is thinking themselves wiser and sees themselves as protectors of others, I get cautious.

Probably less than an actual telemarketer job.

>THE WAY YOU GET THE GAME DOESN'T MATTER
So trying to make the distinction between purchasing the game and playing the game is irrelevant. You painted yourself into a corner. Keep your mouth shut next time, idiot.

But they aren't and they don't. So stop helping them, retard.

>I get cautious.
Because you're a discriminating customer and once more this discussion has nothing to do with you.

you can easily tell Randy is still salty towards Valve from working with them during the HL1 days.

How do you figure I'm helping companies fuck people by calling out a retard for acting like reviews aren't for people who plan on making a purchase.

Doesn't work with video games because of all the retarded little kids who go and buy whatever their favorite streamer is playing.

>Consider you can't legally play the game without purchasing it I'd say this is a distinction without a difference.
WRONG
You can download anything off of the internet as long as it's not CP or something.
You just can't share copyrighted stuff (this includes torrenting because you're also uploading it while downloading).

>So trying to make the distinction between purchasing the game and playing the game is irrelevant
It is when the review hinges on how you get the game, retard. "WHETHER YOU SHOULD PURCHASE IT"
I can't wait until human recycling plants open up and we can throw all double digit IQ's like yours in them.

>If epic is doing anything illegal, like so many claim they do on steam, then do something about it.
Are people claiming this? This is the first I've heard of people complaining about criminal activity. I thought they were just pissed off about the exclusivity and the Epic client's data collection.
>If the information that epic sells isnt actually grounds for condemnation, similar to the data google already sells about you, data even resturaunts and every day shops gather as well and sell, then it should not be made as big of an issue as it is right now.
This complacency is the reason why these companies are able to walk all over the consumer. We shouldn't be saying "X is spying on us, but it's okay because so is Y". What the fuck kind of logic is that? This should be getting people aggravated and pissed off. It should be getting people rioting in the streets. It should be getting people to abandon their reliance on the internet. But somehow we've become too complacent. Obviously I'm just as much to blame as you are. I'm not doing anything about it either. But I'm not just going to pretend that everything is okay. Because this constant digital surveillance is NOT okay. Whether it's the NSA, Google, Facebook, or Epic. It's not okay.

I won't disagree that they have bad bullet sponges, but at least they let you come out the other side of it. Destiny and The Division and Anthem have scaling that keep you universally "challenged", Borderlands actually lets you annihilate weaker shit. And you can definitely end up against bosses who drain your ammo in any of them.

>How do you figure I'm helping companies
Because you're telling people that reviews are about purchases. That is the first step.

What country are you from? Surely not the US or else you're sorely mistaken

Not really much there to push up.

>They don't care about games or gamers, they only care about money.
As opposed to Valve, the company that makes billions from the industry for doing next to nothing and then uses that money to make to make 0 games.

>reviews aren't for people who plan on making a purchase
They aren't. They're for people to know whether they should play a game or not. Whether they make a purchase is up to them to decide with how much money is worth to them.

Holy fuck, can you not see the difference between buying a game and playing it?

gonna need a fucking source on that shit

>constantly has sales on lots of games
>best features of any launcher

How does it feel being a retarded corporate bootlicker?

Imagine that. Kill yourself, retard.

If I wanted to blend in, I'd have taken a power tool to the brain.
I was just correcting your stupid greentext.

Yeah it's pretty shitty, here in the US you can pay to pass new laws, and the entertainment industry has enough money to make it very illegal and very punishable.

What in the unholy fuck did he even mean by this?

Also user, learn what strawmanning is.

They're for helping inform purchasing decisions. Not convince people to buy things. It's to help them decide whether OR NOT something is going to be worth their money. The potential purchasing part of this equation is the entire reason it's important. What the fuck kind of logic are you trying to make here?

What kind of fantasy world do you live in where reviews are only to determine if you should play a game and not purchase it. If you aren't risking your money then you're not losing anything by playing it and seeing for yourself if it's worth your time. The point of reviews is to influence purchasing decisions because purchasing is a risk that needs to be mitigated with information. That's why it's valuable to customers.

See above. If the game is free then there's no real risk in trying it yourself. Trying to make the distinction between reviews for playing games and reviews for buying games is a distinction without a difference. Trying to imply it's only to see if a game is worth playing is nonsensical when you consider the overwhelming majority of people use reviews to see if a game is going to be worth their MONEY AND TIME, not just their time.

>inb4 past ban

I support any and all forms of shitting on products.
It's when people leave POSITIVE reviews that I have a problem with it.

>people complain about how shit GFWL is and refuse to buy from it
>no one cares
>people complain about how shit Origin is and refuse to buy from it
>no one cares
>people complain about how shit U-Play is and refuse to buy from it

>people complain about how shit the Windows Marketplace is and refuse to buy from it
>no one cares
>people complain about how shit the Epic Games Store is and refuse to buy from it
>wtf why are gamers so entitled just give developers more fucking money
really makes me think

Doesn't change how reviews are used and what they're used for. To help customers make informed decisions about what they might spend their money on. Can people use it to determine if they should play a free game or get the game free elsewhere? Of course they can, but that's not the fucking argument.

And you use the reviews to determine if the game is worth your money. What the fuck is up with the half a dozen posts not understanding why the fuck reviews are here in the first place and trying to make it out like they're not used to influence purchasing decisions?

>correcting something with a retarded strawman
Looks like you won't be needing a power tool at all.

>They're for helping inform purchasing decisions
Which should be based on the quality of the game, ONLY.

>then you're not losing anything by playing it and seeing for yourself if it's worth your time
You are losing precious time that could have been spent playing other, better games. Only losers who have nothing to do don't understand this.

Try living in a country other than the ZOGnited states of amerimutt

You expect me to fucking personally try hundreds of games hoping some of them are going to be good? When instead I could simply read a GOOD reviewer?

You're fucking retarded.

>Which should be based on the quality of the game, ONLY.
Those are the most useful reviews.

>You are losing precious time that could have been spent playing other, better games. Only losers who have nothing to do don't understand this.
I'm not insisting people shouldn't use reviews. I'm insisting that people SHOULD. But first and foremost it is a tool to help customers save money.

Where in the living fuck do you see me saying that reviews should be ignored or removed? Look back at my god damned posts and read for once in your mother fucking life.

Randy married into wealth and the epic games exclusivity likely covered a ton of their development costs. He is clearly not worried about lost sales but Borderlands is really the only thing they got that still has plenty of fans. Their handling of Duke isn't going to help them out much.

>But first and foremost it is a tool to help customers save money
They can save money by simply pirating the games. So it's a pretty stupid fucking tool for that purpose.

It’s funny and I don’t care if the poor helpless AAA game studio full of diverse colored people are made somewhat upset about it, the collected ire of them and their twitter legions is satisfying to watch. Imagine being a multimillion dollar company that sells lots of copies of their games and some nerds on the internet literally make you cry.

You're telling me there's no risk, idiot.

I agree with randy here, steamdrones should just kys already, bunch of fucking pathetic losers with nothing real going on in their lives

Are you the one insisting that reviews should be removed now?

>Company that doesn't make any video games or do anything besides maintain a shitty DRM spyware program that people only use because it had a monopoly on distribution
>Beneficial to us
This a case of the pot calling the kettle black if I've ever seen one.

There isn't risk when we're talking about free games, but obviously if the game is free then the point about using reviews to save money IS FUCKING IRRELEVANT IN THAT CONTEXT.

Only if I say that they should be removed. Have I been saying that user? Please read over what I've been saying.
