Welcome to the multi-store world

WHERE'S THE SALES NUMBERS SERGEI

Look at all those people looking at the games and not buying them. Ouch.

>welcome to the multi-store world
what does this even mean?
how does what's popular on twitch have anything to do with the store it's exclusive to?
it's so fucking tiresome

UNIRONICALLY WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED APEX BROS???

Also, it's been a fucking year and I still don't understand Diaperball fags so pic related

They weren't? Its not valves fault if a dev only wanted to release on steam.

Oh look, a shill thread! Gotta get that social score or no girls will ever want you, eh Chang?

>being a pc fat
lmaooooooooo

So what he's saying is that Epic Store has the most best games?

>I cannot fucking stand all these goddamn americans on my american imageboard
>this is an outrage. they should have their own imageboard to shit up
This is you

>IT IS ME! HIRO! REAL AMERICAN BOY!

>Still no proof they did

>1 game on Rockstar's social club
>implying they aren't playing it through steam

i can thank Epic , used to buy games on steam thanks to their regional pricing but know that every game is going to move to the epic store , and said store have shitty regional pricing here and no refunds , it will be a good callback to the 90s wish anew generation of crackers and torrents host rise more rapidly the time paying american video games has ended so thank you epic store

>3 from ebin store
Forbnite, anno and?
Also, anno counts as EGS despite having uplay, but GTA5 isn't a steam game. What the fuck? Is this пaцaнчик serious?

So definitely a shill.

GTA5 is the only game there on steam.

>5 out of the 7 games were around before the EGS
I thought Steam was a monopoly

>thinking twitch views matter
kids watching other people play vidya and bots don't mean shit

I thought WWZ is the steam one. Kay.
Alright, why mention social club but skip uplay?

>new releases,
>Fortnite 2017
>GTA V 2013
>League of Legends 2009

He's the lead manager of the epic store. This is beyond shill. He is the guy in charge of the epic store making a tweet about how great the epic store is.

Are you retarded? The site is still majority American, and always will be because its a fucking American site.

B...B...But you guys said Sweeney was wrong! People don't go to where the games are! they only buy from Steam™. Steam needs their 30% These greedy publishers will all fail!

Overwatch IS dying user

Anno and WWZ are already out of the top 10.

Is this faggot retarded?

I don't really follow it, so I have no idea if that is true or not. But I know boomers are weirdly investing heavily into the esport which I think will flop. Still considering how it is doing 2 years after release, I dont think these are just "release day" views. And it has done incredibly well for itself, despite not being on steam.

I am actually pleasantly surprised that Anno is popular among the zoomer Twitch audience.

Not entirely correct.
They make exclusive deals a week or some before a games release. Ripping the game from people who already bought it on Steam.
Examples are Metro Exodus and Anno 1800.
If It was entirely exclusive than it would be frowned apon but accepted. But this is last min timed exclusive deals.
Nobody fucking liked it when Xbone did it for the Tomb Raider games even though nobody likes the Tomb Raider games.

If Epic actually funded the games development it would be over looked. Instead they slipped a fat stack under a publishers door at the last min and inflate their library of games on a launcher nobody wants to touch.

This was never an issue. How come everyone is bitching now?

> Ripping the game from people who already bought it on Steam.
This is false, every existing sale has been honoured.
>Nobody fucking liked it when Xbone did it for the Tomb Raider games even though nobody likes the Tomb Raider games.
False equivalence. Xbox is not a launcher.
>Instead they slipped a fat stack under a publishers door at the last min and inflate their library of games on a launcher nobody wants to touch.
Seems fine to me, they need a large library to get publishers, to get a large library. It is the catch 22 that keeps Steam the dominant player.

Legitimately no idea. Sergey is an idiot and a coward

Ah yes. Battlenet, Uplay, Rockstar Social Club, as well as Origin and GOG are just now opening because EGS showed them the way. Welcome to the multi-store world everyone, it totally just started and hasn't been a thing for well over a decade!
Also, it's funny that he counts Anno as a Uplay and EGS game but doesn't count Anno or GTA as a Steam game.

Tfw you just wanted to play skyrim without sutter since your laptop is getting old
Buy win 10 gaming pc
Vsync completely broken
Win 10 pile of garbage
Comp only capable of running win 10
Can we go back to 2013 please

He isn't counting anno as a steam game because you can't buy it on steam

Mutt world

DBZ got fucked by Toei not wanting it to becxome an esport, tough they did back down the damage was already done.

He's being disingenuous. The crux of the argument EPIC puts out is that Steam suffocates competition unfairly because they are so large. By posting "Look, all these diverse stores!" He's trying to subtly win you over and say "Steam is losing, and that's a good thing!"

WWZ.
> but GTA5 isn't a steam game.
It is "just chatting" isnt a game, he counted GTA twice. Cause technically it is for sale for Rockstar Social Club, and the steam copy is just selling you a shortcut to the social club copy iirc. Like Uplay games (which he also counts twice)

You do realize you don’t need to own the game to watch a twitch stream right

When the fuck did watching other people play video games become a thing and why did we let it?

No, it has the most watchable games. You won't see something like MHW on it since it's fun to play, but not fun to watch.

>3 on EGS
>b-b-but Steam and others are a monopoly!
>the Chinese are innocent!
rly meks u thnk

see
He didnt put anno for steam because it is not on Steam. Also he is not really saying that. He is just pointing out to steam fanboys that steam is more or less unnecessary.

But he's also hurting his own argument, since most of the games there have been around for a long time. Before Epic came along swinging their big dick around

This is dishonest, most people play Fortnite, Overwatch & GTAV on Consoles

Oh my god guys, I'm fucking blind and legit didn't see UPLAY.

who are you quoting.
>EGS is a flop, nobody will buy there, no steam no buy!
>oh yeah if Steam is a monopoly, how come EGS is doing so well!?
>steam is necessary for success, but also not a monopoly!
See I can make fake arguments to!

Riot launcher is not a fucking store, what is this fucker smoking

Why would you buy Anno from them and not uplay?

Damn, this would bother me if I played any if those games

Amazing logic, also this is the same guy that said a store without cloud saves is garbage, but he works for Epic Games & their launcher has no Cloud saves

Is it on steam?

> I don't know how to count
you sure showed him with making up random shit he didn't say, and ignore him literally mentioning steam and uplay!
>yeah but he said Cloud saves are important, and is working to bring them to EGS
Fuck you really showed him there again.

GTAV is also a Steam game, hes being dishonest

>Every existing sale has been honoured.
How so? And don't tell me they gave people Epic Store copies because that ain't honored. If they bought it for steam they expect to play it on steam.
>False equivalence.
It's not though. The whole problem is timed exclusivity and that's what Epic and Microsoft both did.
>It is the catch 22 that keeps Steam the dominant player.
But it's not. Steam doesn't pay publishers to get their games on the launcher. They instead provide numerous services that would otherwise cost publishers tons of money to keep maintained. All for a ever decreasing tax of 30% of sales.
Epic slips a few bills and assures publishers that even if their game fails on the EGS they will be reimbursed the difference of the production cost of the game. All for 12% of the games revenue on the store forever. While providing absolutely no support for the game outside of the monetary handout.

You know what would have worked better and didn't cost anyone untold amounts of money and hostility from the public. Just releasing the game on both stores without the draconian practices.

No he isn't. The only game on that list that you can buy on steam is GTAV.
Sergey is a cunt, but there's no need to be retarded user

>counting views as sales

What is Just Chatting? A spinoff if Just Cause?

How much is China paying you?

Zero. I'm just trying to point out that there's no reason to lie when you're criticising Epic and Sergey

>How so? And don't tell me they gave people Epic Store copies because that ain't honored. If they bought it for steam they expect to play it on steam.
No like every steam preorder has been honoured on steam with steam copies that exist.
>It's not though.
The platform is windows. They were announced on windows, released on windows, they have not been gatekept from any hardware.
>But it's not. Steam doesn't pay publishers to get their games on the launcher.
They did not have to because they were first, and thus everyone goes to Steam because they are the dominant market.
>hey instead provide numerous services that would otherwise cost publishers tons of money to keep maintained.
Correct, and EGS is essentially doing the same thing for cheaper. Big publishers like EA, who can afford to do it themsleves have, Ubisoft is more or less doing the same, but for everyone else they cant do a big push like EA .
>Epic slips a few bills and assures publishers that even if their game fails on the EGS they will be reimbursed the difference of the production cost of the game
yes because nobody wants to be the first to jump ship. They need to reach a taking off point.

It's actually great. I had missed out on that release week rush of getting to play the game and share tips and secrets and shitpost on Yea Forums because I was always waiting for sales. Renewed interest in piracy has made me question why I ever spent money on video games in the first place.

>7 games in top 8
>9 games across the platforms
wat

those are all shit games

I just pirate everything thats not on Steam or Multiplayer.

>GTAV
Why do people everywhere keep playing and watching people play this game?
Its been 6 fucking years, every time on twitch's most streamed and console sites like psnprofiles GTAV is ALWAYS amongst the recently popular

Why?
What exactly is go god-tier about this game that poeple can play it for THOUSANDS of hours, and then WATCH people play it for hundreds more?

I have it on my shelf and believe it or not i have never played it yet, probably gonna 100% it once unless theres stuff like bullshit races or 5 billion collectibles but thats it

GTARP is fucking huge because really big streamers have been jumping on it. Of those 220k people watching it more than 150k people are spread across maybe 30-40 streamers. Basically you'll see all sorts of games shoot up in numbers as people like summit who pull in 10k for anything jump on them for months.

I mean I always pirated. But this is pretty fucking stupid. HBO Go, Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu+ or whatever the fuck, combined with whatever Apple's + Disneys will cost, is still cheaper than the Cable package to watch all the content, by a metric fucktonne. I used to pay $100 a month for Cable, + rent a bunch of tv seasons from blockbuster, +buy a bunch of TV seasons on DVD, which was expensive. And that is before you even factor in movies. Like yeah I will pirate everything on Disney's platform, because fuck you I can. But that mentality predates the platform, and the platform is still cheaper than cable. If anything all these services are making cord cutting more appealing.

It decided to release several months too early because EA saw that Anthem was a farce. So they couldn't get content out fast enough for Apex Legends for it to keep it's momentum.
That and it was release shortly before a new Fortnite season.
>they have not been gatekept from any hardware.
Not hardware no. But they are still very much gatekeeping. Semantics mean nothing here. It's the same shit different location
>They did not have to because they were first
They weren't the first. They were the only one giving enough of a fuck to improve themselves though.
>EGS is essentially doing the same thing for cheaper.
But they aren't remotely doing that. Epic doesn't run the games online servers, forums, Mod support, tech support, or anything really that Steam does for a publisher and game.
They just put it on the store front and give the publisher a hand out when it inevitably fails. That's not support. Steam is Domanint because they are good at what they do and nobody else feels like remotely putting in the effort. Especially Epic. Releasing a launcher several years ago that isn't even up to par with the fucking Itch.io launcher. Sitting on it until they start buying up timed exclusivity and getting yelled at that their Launcher is trash and allegedly stealing people's Information.
>EA and Ubisoft.
They have nothing to do with this. They publish and sell their own funded games. nobody else's.
>yes because nobody wants to be the first to jump ship.
2K seemed pretty fucking eager to jump ship at a few bills.

>Steam doesn't pay publishers to get their games on the launcher.

>apex nowhere to be seen

Ok. Once more but in english.

IT'S NOT FAIR WE COLONIZED THE WORLD IT'S OURS!!!!!

makes me mad that R* and GTAV got bailed out AGAIN. this time by RP faggots

This is still being spread around despite it being completely false.

Toei liked it becoming a ESport. They didn't like that they weren't getting anything out of it though.

>anno was on steam
>literally nobody boy gta5 on the social club
>LoL client being counted as a store

lol

>But they are still very much gatekeeping
how? what prohibits anyone who can run the games, from downloading EGS?
>They weren't the first.
They really were, there was no incumbent for steam to challenge. Your nostalgia glasses are bullshit, I assure you HL2 and CS source fans were not hugely amazed by how much they loved steam and its great features. Before steam I just bought Manhunt 2 from some random website Rockstar linked to, that was hardly steam tier competition.
>But they aren't remotely doing that. Epic doesn't run the games online servers, forums, Mod support, tech support, or anything really that Steam does for a publisher and game.
Okay fair, so if I am a singleplayer game, or can provide my own solutions to all these myself that are better, Steam will let me keep 88% right? How much does Nexusmods charge?
>Steam is Domanint because they are good at what they do and nobody else feels like remotely putting in the effo
Nobody gives a flying fuck. Origin is a great launcher, you want to know the only reason anyone, including me uses it? because the games aren't on Steam. And my god some EA games do really well without giving Valve a penny. To me Steam is a dumb service that runs in the background when I launch a game. It is that to most people. Yes it is also a social media platform and forum for you faggots. But 99% of steam users, use it solely because they games they want to play are there. Not because of whatever bullshit talking points people always bring up in these threads.
>They have nothing to do with this. They publish and sell their own funded games.
And their launchers are successful, because they could steam roll it until it was popular, can afford to market their games heavily, and don't have the same dilemma as Epic because of their insane library of games they publish carried them to a takeoff point.
>2K seemed pretty fucking eager to jump ship at a few bills.
not without financial guarantees.

>Correct, and EGS is essentially doing the same thing for cheaper.
No it is not, look at dangerous driving which is an EGS exclusive

>Dangerous Driving is currently an Epic Games Store exclusive title. This usually wouldn’t impact a review in any way, but the client’s lack of features makes this PC release strictly inferior to its console counterparts. Since the EGS currently doesn’t have achievement support, neither does Dangerous Driving. This is excusable, but the additional lack of online leaderboards is the real bummer.

They can't even provide leaderboards or achievements.

DBZ is just shallow compared to SF and everyone in that community knows it so they play SF instead. More diversity on what's viable. Less of the same old same old every match.

>NOOOOO STEAM DESERVES TO BE ON TOP
Why?
>UUUUH FUCK YOU REEEE

>b.net
>riot

>Origin is a great launcher
Is this a joke? Every single time I've tried to play a game with my friends on origin it's a fucking nightmare.

>try to squad up in bfv
>my and my friends can't see each other on the friends list even though we're both online
>after many restarts it works but it puts us on the wrong teams

>try anthem
>it puts me and my friend into different instances even though we're in the same squad

These are EA's own devs using EA's own frostbite engine and they can't even get their shit to work right, imagine if origin had more non-EA multiplayer games. Don't even get my started with their download speeds.

>no leaderboards
OH NO NO NO EGS BTFO HOW WILL THEY EVER RECOVER!?
In all seriousness, if that is the only online feature who really gives a fuck? Look, Steam makes sense for certain games. And Steam is not really going anywhere anytime soon. For a game like say MHW, which is a consoleport of a japanese game with moderate online features, is Capcom not gonna host their own online servers just for that, and there is no real third party competition. But the feature is necessary, so they have to grin and bare it and pay the valve tax. But if your game has no online, or something as frivolous as just an online leaderboard is it really worth it. The game uses UE4, so they are saving the 5% there as well. So would steam really justify 23% of sales revenue, just for them to host a leaderboard system? This is why I always get screeched at for being an EGS shill, and always find myself defending them. Because this is such disingenuous sensationalist bullshit. Oh no the sky is falling cause a game doesn't have an online leaderboard. Would it be cool if EGS had some online service to host that? sure. Am I going to scream and curse them all day cause they do not? no.
If Valve was smart they would start doing A la carte, pricing to compete. Match EGS on the cut if you dont use their online services etc.
As for Achievements, if you actually care. Just print yourself out an "I participated" sticker, put it on your shirt, then try for the achievement of most backflips complete whilst jumping off a skyscraper.

The guy is being disingenuous. Anno was on steam and it's on uplay and EGS, GTA5 is on steam and RSC, the LoL client is not even a store where you can buy games, it's as much of a store as any MMO client.

>Every single time I've tried to play a game with my friends on origin it's a fucking nightmare.
That is their stupid webbrowser launcher thing though, not Origin itself. Origin itself just werks, been fine in Titanfall 2 and Gaypex. Not like no games on steam have problems. Ever played Dark Souls? Origin itself is pretty great and actually better in a lot of ways. They beat Steam to generous refunds way first, and Origin Access is unironically a decent value(though I am expecting it to decline now that they have "premiere")

>primarily mp game has no basic mp functions
Yeah, who should care except those who play it.

EGS haters BTFO.

You are missing the point, something as simple as leadersboards is too much for EGS to accomplish. You can defend EGS not having this stuff in 2019 when even fucking uplay and origin have it, I don't care, for the people who actually care about this stuff including the devs who go far enough to put achievements and leaderboards in their games it matters. You have to be autistic to not understand that different people value different features.

>from downloading EGS?
The fact that the launcher is utter trash with no features whatsoever and bloats your ram more than running Steam as a browser.
The fact that I'm still getting emails about how people are trying to get into my Epic account and I made that account 2 years ago.
The fact that people don't want to use 40 different clients because a new publisher thought it would be a cool idea to make their own store front this week.
The fact most people want their games in a neat little packages and not scattered among countless launchers.
The fact that everything on the EGS is overpriced.
Just to name a few.
>They really were,
GFWL, Battle.Net, NCsoft, Nexon, Windows, WildTangent,.
They really weren't. They were just the only ones that tried. and outside of Gog. They still pretty much still are.
>can provide my own solutions to all these myself that are better, Steam will let me keep 88% right?
No. Those people go to GoG or someplace else because they don't need what Steam can do for them. 2K sure as fuck isn't in that situation.
>Origin is a great launcher.
It's only for EA games so I beg to differ.
No need to get hostile. Your shill is showing.
>their launchers are successful
Their games on Consoles are successful. They constantly have to give away free games for people to care about their launchers. The EGS isn't even successful because 80% of the people who own a EGS account are the people who were required to make one to play Fortnite and another 15% or so are those who nicked free games.
>Not without Finacial Gaurantees.
Randy is burning some bridges right now over this Epic deal.

Also spell check is a thing. Maybe start using it.

Can you even buy shit on the RSC? This dudes desperate not to give Steam any quarter.

But also fuck steam.

If you think a system of exclusivity benefits you and not corporations, you're retarded

I personally will never use the EGS until they have as many half-baked, hastily added, broken and then swiftly abandoned "features" as Steam does.

They don't give a shit what you want, that's why people hate epic. Imagine trying to sell people something without caring about their wants or needs, reminds me of when GFWL tried to sell PC gamers on paying for the PC equivalent of XBL and they got btfo.

Attached: Capture.jpg (769x612, 58K)

reminder that steam has its own streaming service so it doesnt even need to use twitch

They don't even have 1% of the fully backed, perfectly added fixed and fully supported features steam does.
How do you expect them to come up with a ton of broken shit when they don't even want to start doing anything?

They need to work on that shit because it's worse than mixer and youtube, I was expecting them to make it a big deal with that steam.tv thing but nope, nothing happened.

>Try to watch some stream on Twitch

>primarily mp game
I thought we were talking about Dangerous Driving?
>You are missing the point, something as simple as leadersboards is too much for EGS to accomplish.
That is like saying, yeah the airfare on Southwest is drastically cheaper than United, but you have to pay $5 for a blanket and it is not available on some flights. Would you really fly an airline where something as simple as a free blanket is too much for them to accomplish!? Fly United today!
It is incredibly disingenuous, and obviously blind fanboy rationalization.
Look I pirate a lot of shit, you know what no pirate has ever said in the history of piracy? "yeah I was gonna pirate it, but then I would't have access to the online leaderboard!" Maybe one day EGS adds something for that, maybe they don't but it hardly justifies the price of admission for publishers. And hardly worth complaining about as a consumer.

>Developers will decide
a paychecks and paycheck to developers.
They have no say in where and what the game they are making is going to be on unless they are both publisher and Developers.
But Epic has made it perfectly clear that if you are not Triple A or popular. You are not getting on EGS. So most Indie games are never going to be on EGS and Publishers are getting paid off.
The Consumer determines the end of the war. Because the consumer is the only way the publisher survives.

uBlock origin.
Every so often Twitch's Ads get through but within a day or two they are filtered again.
Twitch gets new Algorithms ever few months and it takes a day or so for the blocker to pick it out and filter it.

I mean just an anecdote, but I get this for steam but not EGS, Steam is cooler in that it tells what third world shit hole they are trying to sign in from though.
>The fact that people don't want to use 40 different clients because a new publisher thought it would be a cool idea to make their own store front this week.
I dont care, most people dont care, the OP shows nobody cares but steam fanboys, who are just a whiny minority.
>GFWL, Battle.Net, NCsoft, Nexon, Windows, WildTangent,.
None of these were the same thing remotely user. GFWL wasnt actually a store, battle.net, nexon etc did not sell third party AAA games.
>No. Those people go to GoG or someplace else because they don't need what Steam can do for them. 2K sure as fuck isn't in that situation.
GoG still takes 30% and won't let them use Denuvo. Also even CDprojekt is too pussy to go GoG exclusive.
>It's only for EA games so I beg to differ.
What does that have to do with anything?
>Their games on Consoles are successful.
And on PC as well, BF1 BTFO out of anything on steam that year. Gaypex did alright recently and even Anthem somehow managed to do fucking well on PC. Origin exclusivity seems to be 0 bottleneck on EA.
>The EGS isn't even successful
too early to tell, but seems to be doing alright.
>Randy is burning some bridges right now over this Epic deal.
Randy is not his own publisher here retard.
>Also spell check is a thing. Maybe start using it.
It is a Yea Forums shitpost, not a fucking master's thesis.

I use uBlock but it doesn't help. The ads are now shown directly on the stream.

Not even Steamlink helps anymore.

some streamers spam ads during gameplay, you're only supposed to see 1 ad when you open a stream, if you see more than that then it means the streamer is pushing ads for extra money.

in the eternal words of that /pol/tard youtube """"philospher,"""" not an argument.

but I was told that competition is great.

I mean this is stupid for me to say because it is not zero sum. But I really wish streamers did more of this and less of the fucking obnoxious donor shit.

You are not everyone and like myself don't speak for everyone.
>None of these were the same thing remotely user
They are game launchers. Can't play the game unless you had the launcher. Same thing just didn't do third party. Semantics ain't going to help you here Epic Shill.
>GoG still takes 30% and won't let them use Denuvo.
Which is why I also said "Someplace else". Try and keep up. They could stand along release a disc out into the wild if they are so well off or sell the game from their own website. Nothings really stopping anyone from doing this.
>CDprojekt
Literally co owns GoG.
>What does that have to do with anything?
Other than EA games sucking complete shit? Nothing.
>too early to tell
They are burning through Fortnite money in an attempt to build a Library for a Launcher everyone hates. Yeah. Pretty sure it's already far passed the point of no return.
>Randy is not his own publisher here retard.
But he is a Developer under 2K and him being a giant douche right now negatively affects 2K.

If Epic's doing so great then they should release their sales and active user numbers.

>0 games with discounts due to price competition
Let me know when the price war starts.

NOOO THEY CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE STEAM IS EVIL WE NEED TO SUPPORT EPIC BUT NEVER ASK QUESTIONS

if adblockers stop working completing people who spam ads like that will probably lose viewers since people hate having ads constantly interrupting gameplay for minutes at a time

>I think your IQ is just too low for this discussion
At least he has the brain capacity to formulate a proper response, fucking faggot.

>You are not everyone and like myself don't speak for everyone.
Sure but consumers as a whole mostly dont care. vocal minorities exist, with a wide range of genuineness.
>They are game launchers. Can't play the game unless you had the launcher. Same thing just didn't do third party. Semantics ain't going to help you here Epic Shill.
Yes, and this proves they were the first mass digital store to have a huge library of third party AAA games before steam how? steam was first, if anything going "well technically maple-story used a launcher" is the semantic argument, rather than the substance one. No idea how pointing this out makes me a shill, if anything it is a good thing? good on valve.
>I also said "Someplace else".
yes, that someplace else is this new store called EGS, heard of it? kinda been making headlines recently.
>They could stand along release a disc out into the wild if they are so well off or sell the game from their own website.
lol. Apart from the huge negative costs of doing physical over digital, and costs of running their own distribution platform, and literal 0 visibility that comes from just hoping someone googles it. The ones who can afford to do this, already do, the only holdout until recently was Ubisoft.
>Literally co owns GoG.
My point, they don't even release anything GoG exclusive. Suggesting it is not the most viable. They literally give Valve a 30% cut to sell an inferior version of the game they sell themselves and keep 100% of the revenue from.
>They are burning through Fortnite money in an attempteveryone hates.
they don't care if you love it or hate it user, just if you use it. Everyone hated Origin as well. Everyone hated Denuvo. Turns out "everyone" is a very small group, most of whom buy the game anyway. I doubt it is costing them much either, they are garunteed sales mostly, not huge unconditional cheques. I think most the publishers jumping want EGS to succeed, they just dont want to assume any risk

Are you gonna cry now? Pusy

aside from launching well after steam, most GFWL games were available for purchase on steam. Only wnes I can think of that were note were Halo 2 and I think Fable III? basically UWP of its time.

REMINDER

SERGEY GALYONKIN IS LITERALLY THE BOARD DIRECTOR FOR EPIC GAMES MARKETING IN EUROPE

>Everyone hated Origin as well. Everyone hated Denuvo.
Everyone hated GFWL gold and everyone hated paid mods on steam. Neither of those things exist anymore.

>people who spam ads like that will probably lose viewers since people hate having ads constantly interrupting gameplay for minutes at a time
Steam already has this. The adspots are just incredibly cheap spots called "bits" Steamlabs is also another ad agency there. Most the top streamers spam ads like no tomorrow with this shit and do fine. I would much rather see a for profit company shill me with a well produced commercial during a designated adbreak than be constantly interrupted by these annoying faggots.

the point is you could buy games on gfwl

fair and noted.
Why I said it is too early to tell. But I would liken it more to Uplay or Origin, than paid subscription service or paid mods. GFWL itself more or less lives on in the rebrand that is the Windows 10 Store.

>steam already has this
Meant Twitch

the gold account stuff is gone forever though, no one in their right mind is going to push for pc gamers to pay for the ability to play online the way consoles do

Agreed, I just don't know what the hell that has to do with EGS.
