yes, but they also got tons of money

EGS can shutdown for whole year and publisher will still choose them because free money is free money

I like that it gives me free games every once in a while. I haven't bought anything from Epic yet though. Don't plan to, but I don't know why we can't have both. Is this console wars in 2019?

People who defend epic aren't PC gamers, so they can't know how it works.

Thing is, they aren't competing with Steam in terms of consumer support. They are competing on Publisher level. The consumers are just a product on that level.

Egs is a game distribution software.
Why would you use a bad software for your needs when there is a better one around?
The whole existence of egs makes no sense from customer point of view at yet we all will be forced to use it at some point.

>Why would you use a bad software for your needs when there is a better one around?
I literally only care about launching the game and the price of the game. EGS can launch games and gave me a cheaper metro, so I refunded my steam preorder and bought it there. I don't care about all the bloatware steam has and I wish they released a skinny client that just launched games.

user, the store doesn't have enough games to need a sorting feature. Give it a few years for the epic team to get more games, by then they will have the feature added. You don't need it right now because the store isn't bloated.

who gives a fuck, if the game is cheaper i get it on epic

That's a feature you need once you have a library of games.

There's 2 things they're doing to harpoon users. First thing is give out a free game every 2 weeks so you'll build a library with them over time. Second, is to force you to use their store if you don't have patience or are Apathetic. Once you have bought 1 game you won't mind buying another since you invested on the platform. If you feel your account has significant Value tied to it they've already got you. They're using very brute force marketing tactics to horde people in through money rather then service. It's a damn shame people are so apathetic and don't care they are funding more of this shit.

They won't sell on humble because like with third-party Steam keys Steam takes 0% profit from that and with their 12% they can't afford to do that and still pay for bandwidth, hosting and whatnot, even with the bare minimum services they offer.

I've seen people buy AC every year, 3 mobile game threads every day, and people who buy EA games despite how awful they are. But for some reason a Mortal Kombat game triggers your taste police meter to a point where you jump into an autistic sperg mode at the mere mention of such a thing.

It isn't competing with shit.
Locking games behind it for a while isn't competing with steam, it's just delaying steam releases.

That's what all these "muh steam has a monopoly" and "competition is gud" retards don't understand.

Exclusivity isn't breaking a monopoly. It's just making another monopoly in that specific product.

Everyone called them out on their shit for 4 months now. The people who keep saying "competition" without elaborating further are shitposters. The only people defending this shit legitimately are either ignorant anti Steam users or developers trying to fatten their wallets. I've seen 2 things that devs want from Steam and that's more money and curation. Curation is cancerous towards many games that aren't assest flips. Many console only games like DOA would never have gotten PC ports if curation was in place. GoG rejects 9/10 indie games and even rejected undertale until fan outcry changed it. How does curation help the market? By limiting games to only what the owner likes? Fuck that, and fuck Randy.

They not even have to worry about selling kek
Epic guarantees they'll get X number of sales minimum even if they have to pay it, of course devs go there, who cares about the whe the consumers think when you can have the money right now and with 0 risk?

Is HBO and Netflix anti-consumer too?
Are the Olympic games anti-consumer or are the channels that buy the exclusive rights to broadcast them anti-consumer?
Or does this only apply when Epic does it?

The free games part made sense. taking games hostage on a platform, PC, that is known for not giving a fuck about exclusivity didn't make sense. People have to deal with that on consoles and paid for it, literally, for a long time.

I like competition because tech moves forward Everytime consoles make a jump. And consoles make jumps because normiee see their fav streamers play on ultra gay gayming PC's. I like to see that.

Epic doesn't feel like it's doing any of this.

>Is HBO and Netflix anti-consumer too?
Yes. In the modern day, these services are all terrible because they're constantly removing and trading off content forcing the end user to buy a bunch of different subscriptions for a single program.

That cut is not significant enough to alter development that much, unless you were making some big $60 AA game that sold hundreds of thousands to million. In which case you probably already had enough outside funding.

Yes, honestly people who pays to stream fucking shows and movies causing more companies (like disney) to follow and put shows behind their own paywall are retarded.

Well piracy has skyrocketed since all these streaming services started getting exclusivity. So yeah I would say it is anti consumer

devs don't see a cent of that money. most of them have already been fired one the game was released.

>No sales
It's a non-issue. You're never going to want to buy a game from Epic without already knowing exactly what game you're buying. You're never going to go on the epic store to just browse and see what looks good.

And your post is also 100% correct.
Personally, I just wish that steam had a better ui, and better user end filtering options.
If they also weren't so greedy, it'd help. But any dev who sells out to the chinks deserves to fail in my books.
Like those ashen faggots, I was kinda keen to play that, but now I won't.
I expected them to bow down to the chinks though, since they are kiwi devs, and we are a colony of chankoro land.

You are using a question that asks if devs want to earn more money done by a guy that works for Epic and runs Steamspy. You are also forgetting the majority of devs on Steam are crowding out the good ones. Vets don't have a problem with Valve. Just the newer ones

You should have known better, user.

Why would they need sorting and shit when they have only 20 games

In the Epic Games store costumers are sheep, the focus is on developers, it will take 8 months to add a fucking shopping cart functionality
Steam is the exact opposite. Where devs get fucked and consumers have a lot of benefits

The main difference is that consumers defend Epic because they provide for devs, whereas Devs don't defend steam for providing support to users. They don't give a shit if we get shafted, as long as their get payed

When you download the free games, you're just pushing it further to spend money on it. Even if you don't ever, many others will. So even if Fortnite dies they have the store now.

exchange developers with publishers then you're golden.

They don't fuck devs, quite the opposite. They just cannot provide for every single developer, but if you get passed that initial bump your tune changes.

By ensuring as many new games as possible only come to Epic. I have 6 PC launchers on my computer right now, but all these new games are Epic exclusive. Everyone uses Steam as a scapegoat to defend Epic, what about all the other storefronts?

Delete dragon age 2.

But otherwise, you got some breddy good taste my nigger.

Slandering the competition and starving them out of products.
Of course they are not going to get that when all the devs they are paying to are planning to release their games in steam immediately once the exclusivity time is over anyway

Shit chang, you gotta work on your meme usage.
Try to use the right pictures next time.

This is the stupidest response I think I've ever heard to any question ever.

Shilling got a shitty game launcher is worse.

They're making fun of how Mortal Kombat is a shit game not worth buying.

They have a handful of AA games and indies as timed exclusives. Paying off every single game of note to be a however many month exclusive isn't happening.
They loose money even on these relatively small games, how are they going to pay off every big releases?
This is as realistic as saying Sonys playstation will be the only console because they bought some exclusives.

Well they can keep paying the devs then, I sure don't plan on buying their games.

That's neat and all but one time I spent an afternoon sorting my games by my own categories and my big take away is that any in-library categorization is completely useless because I already know what games I have and which ones I want to play

Microsoft is has more money then those 3 combined.
Why hasn't the xbone crushed all the other consoled by buying all games?

Worst bait ever

Because, ironically, Epic called out Microsoft and made a big fuss about it when they bought exclusivity of a game

Epicstore is shit i only use it cause it gives me more free games , appart from that is shit.

Damn, I didn't think that the spyware angle really persuaded me. I was more in the "I think exclusives are unconscionable, and their store sucks", but now that I see they sweeten the deal with free games and I still find myself hesitating even though it would not on the surface be supporting them monetarily to just download the launcher and cop the free games. I really just don't trust epic at this point, not sure I want their shit on my computer. That large percentage tencent ownership is indeed worrying.

They made a fuss about them using their control of Windows. Big difference.
I can see them working with Valve on improving gaming on Linux in the future because Microsoft is the real danger to both.

If they cared about that they could have started long ago or they would at least have a linux version of EGS on the roadmap since Valve is already doing all the work anyway.
