What do you think of Randy "the magician" Pitchford?
Randy is a complete and utter moron and retard, ofcourse he would support the worst choice
Lincoln Myers
All his points are right, but you're supposed to make something BETTER than steam, not something worse but that force you into getting into it by keeping games hostage.
Ryder Clark
If Randy said then I know it's wrong

I'd be okay if Randy sky dived without a parachute.

Eli Johnson
Interesting how your picture lacks the context of Steam Direct launching a good halfway though 2017, while 2018 had Steam direct existing then for its entirety with a bunch of game now knowing about being able to use that. No shit average revenue is going to go down with a lot more games launching on the service (with many of them being exceedingly basic indies)
Jason Harris
Remember when Randy made up a story about being in a yatch and gambling with Gabe to see who'd name their company what? And news sites published the story then had to apologize when it was easily disproven, calling Randy a fucking liar in the process? Good times.
William Bell
You can always tell when Randy is lying. He has an obvious tell. Its when ever he says something.

Considering Randy's history of being an honest and decent human being I have to assume now Steam is so healthy it can bang 20 chicks in one day without going limp and then do a Decathlon.
This. Fuck that shit company. (you also forgot shitty port job for Halo CE PC)
Nathan Rodriguez
Valve is in such a cucked state
> Epic pays for exclusivity > Devs and publishers shit on Steam, remove their games from Steam, say it's dying and whatever. > A (half)year after the exclusivity deal ends, they relaunch their games on Steam > Valve just goes and accepts the games even though they were shat on
Aiden Cox
I was interested in BL3. Enough so to sign up for epic, but now i'm not so sure...
>Epic throwing an autistic fit of rage >Steam is just ignoring everything >this is somehow cucked
They know Epic is just yet another launcher that will end up being irrelevant like Origin and Uplay. No point in doing anything when they themselves will eventually stop doing this on their own.
John Turner
Competition is always better for the consumer, but Randy is a faggot and I hate him.

this man likes to live a risky life with his money and the company , after the COLOSSAL FAILURE that was Lawbreakers he decides lets move to another store with more profit because thats a logical decition (no sarcasm) but proceedes to shit on a BELOVED store like steam constantly the dude have balls or dgaf , randy your games are going to get torrented and pirated like heel in southamerica and russia WE will make sure and your twitter feed remember , your american orporations have no poweer here , this game is going to get flooded with seeds and torrents and im anxious to see how much money his company loses because im really know sales will be good fisrt week but after that piratery will eat every fucking sale
Dylan Long
Half of those aren't a flop retard, you are also forgetting Proton, the new steam network APIs for developers and native complete controller support. All features that make it way superior to epic games will ever be
Landon Williams
The game is going to be pretty bad, but you're right that it will sell really good.

Steam won't die, not any time soon. A PC storefront that focuses over making publishers happy rather than consumers won't succeed in the long run. People will just move back to pirating games on Epic's store and buying things that don't take shitty exclusivity deals. I mean hell, I pirated Exodus and yet bought Sekiro on GMG
Juan Hill
This Randy guy sure sounds like a conspiracy lunatic

What about when they responded to the Metro Exodus exclusivity? Or the introduction of the 25% and 20% tiers? Or CS:GO going F2P and adding its own battle royale mode?
Watching PC Idiots fight about Epic’s store will never get old.

Andrew Watson
he probably likes it

Never understood why EGS tried to break steam by courting devs. If they are serious about business they should have tried to undercut steam by giving cheaper games to gamers, in which case its fair competition.

Don't care about the Steam/Epic brouhaha, but I felt cheated by BL2. I bought the base game on sale, but then spent a lot of extra money on the DLC. I couldn't even make use of the DLC areas because I hit the level cap before I got around to them. Why is there a fucking level cap?
So yeah, I'm going to pirate BL3. Gearbox is one of the worst developers when it comes to milking players with DLC anyway. I wonder how much day one DLC BL3 will have.
Logan Hernandez
>they should have tried to undercut steam by giving cheaper games to gamers, in which case its fair competition. Epic doesn't give a shit about the consumers. They think people on the PC who buy traditional games are as dumb as the Fortnite kids and console users who will just take everything up the ass. That's why all of their focus is on courting devs and publishers
Brody Adams
>>That was introduced on Dec 1st of 2018, well before much of Epic's exclusivity shit had really started to gain traction >Initial release December 6, 2018
It's clear Valve got information or a leak because when Epic Store was announced, they had shown off exclusive games

John Murphy
>Steam controllers? Flop Steam controller is fucking underrated. I only recently found out that it has gyro and shit tons of customization that allow you to even make custom touch menus. I'm planning to buy it soon after PC upgrade. Touchpad in trackball mode + gyro seems to be even better than mouse if you don't have lots of space on your table to play shooters with low mouse sensitivity.
They were talking about working with epic on cross platform play, if they had that and released it on both steam and epic simultaneously I'd have bought it from epic in a heartbeat.
But they decided they had to play dirty, and now I don't really want to buy it at all because it feels like playing in their bullshit.

It definitely couldn't have been that publishers and indies were bitching to devs for years that the cut was too high (even though those cunts never would have to balls to say Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony have cuts that are too high)
Andrew King
Whaaoooooo! i can see your pantsu glasses-chan!
Wyatt Johnson
Her game is only available on steam, why would you want to use a shitty platform like epic that doesn't even have good games on it?
Yeah that ain't happening junior, and you Steam cucks literally said it would be Apex that killed Fortnite (which you wanted to happen so Steam no longer had Epic as competition)
Randy also claimed Troy Baker declined an invitation to reprise his role in Borderlands, and was immediately called out by Troy as being full of shit. Randy is a stupid motherfucker who whould be disregarded.
Jackson Jones
Are you brain damaged or something?
Xavier Sanchez
why do people like borderlands? I played the first one and generally didn't enjoy it.
Alexander Allen
Why do the epic drones ignore that GOG exists? Or that you don't have to use steam to buy your games and if you don't steam gets no money?
Jace Baker
Why do all you retards act like Twitch numbers are relevant to anything? That goes for both sides that prop them up
I don't follow the feud, but can someone explain how Sweeny explains how competition is better for the consumer? The way i see it all i get is no choice when i want particular game. Its not cheaper. The fuck does it matter to me if publishers get more money out sales?

>he uses a store made for literal babies Oof cucky, better go back to sucking
>being bred for the sole purpose of being sold and kept in a cage for it's entire lifespan That's fucked up indeed. Real patricians just grab random hobo cat from the streets.
Borderlands is a boring fucking stupid meme filled franchise anyway. I have absolutely no idea why everyone acts like it's the best shit ever. I remember 7 years ago, at literally peak Borderlands hype I would always mention this game is shit and everyone would act like I just committed blasphemy.
>"but dude! it's so much funner with friends!"
If your game NEEDS to have other people to play with for you to have fun it's a shit game. That argument is so retarded anyway, I could play ANY fucking game with my friends and we would find a way to have fun. That's why they're my friends.
Anyway, I got it and played with my friends and it was still boring. I have no idea why people hold this franchise so highly. It is the most boring, mindless shooter game ever. All you do is shoot shit and get new gear, but for what? What purpose does it serve? That's the thing: THERE IS NO PURPOSE IN THIS GAME. You have no point, no direction, no drive, no need to fucking do anything. There's no skill, no strategy, nothing. All you do is fucking shoot and loot for absolutely no reason. For nothing.
So yeah. Fuck Borderlands, and fuck Randy 'Con-Man' Pitchford. It is no suprise so many defenders of the EGS are ardent Borderlands fans, anyone that's a Borderlands fan has some severe form of mental illness where they believe this pile of boring shit could be considered, in any way, 'fun'. And anyone that defends EGS has that same mental illness. To be fair though, I'm glad this happened. I hope this whole debacle opens people's eyes to see not only how shitty Randy Pitchford is as a human, but Gearbox as a company, and Borderlands as a franchise. Fuck this game.
William Bennett
Randy also had CP on corporate media and has repeatedly ruined franchises to fund RedditLands so I don't think his opinion matters all too much.
My only guess is shills and/or oppressed people gathering together behind EGS since misery loves company. I don't know why else randy attaches himself to epic, he made his easy money and only epic stands to lose recouping their exclusivity deal.
Elijah Adams
How has Randy not been arrested for money laundering and owning CP?
We just need to wait for Gayben to die of old age or something, and Microsoft will buy up Valve and restore them to the old ways where they made video games. Valve under Microsoft will be a new era of a pro-consumerist Valve.
Adrian Jones
It's dying because losers like that flooded the platform with their garbage, and Valve had no plans on how to separate that shit from real games.
Nolan Taylor

Logan Murphy
Nobody actually thinks that Epic is the good guy. It's just shitposters. The epic store is clearly a very anti consumer piece of software, it blatantly has the most scummy practices (check this box to NOT receive spam mail) along with confirmed very terrible account security with people constantly reporting that their accounts got hacked on the service even while using proper authentication. The main thing people claim Epic is doing to """save""" pc gaming is the the lower revenue share to Epic, yet the games on the store are more expensive then they used to be when they where on steam! What a load of fucking bullshit. Steam actively develops features that makes the entire PC platform better for everyone (Proton, native controller support), they are literally doing microsofts work on fixing windows for gaming yet retards claim they are killing PC gaming? Why the FUCK are you retards still talking about that image when it's taken out of context? See
It's weird seeing "Randall Pitchford II" listed in the credits of 3D, I'll say that much.

You dont' know how useful those community guides can be user. I'd argue that's the best feature steam ever added, instead of going to joe shmoe's website or watch a faggot youtuber's video on how to do a section of a game, some guy on steam wrote it and included screenshots to do it myself.
Fast, easy, and I didn't need to watch a 10 minute video of a fag breathing into his mic to accomplish it.
Benjamin King
I tried making an Epic Store account today.
Immediately upon making it, on my very first login attempt, it said my account was suspicious and I need to reset my password. Then it refused to send me an email for the password reset. About an hour later, an email arrived. I clicked the password reset link in the email, and it sent me to an error page that said the password reset code was incorrect. I tried this three times with three separate password reset emails.
A couple of hours later I tried to reset my password again and it finally worked, so I logged in and went to my account to set up two-factor authentication. Pressing the 2FA option sent me to an internal error message. The second time it sent me an email with the 2FA code, I copied it to their site and it said the code was wrong. I tried this 3-4 times, I tried both typing it and copying it and none of it worked. I still have not managed to enable 2FA on the account. I refuse to put any payment info without 2FA enabled.
I googled these issues and found many forum threads with similar issues and no fixes.
If developers think they can sell games like this, they are deluded. Steam works. This is a non-functioning mess.
I understand that Pre-Sequel was made by a bunch of shitposting fucking Aussie cunts but fuck Randy the loot drops in this game are giving me a fucking brain aneurysm. Holy fucking shit what a garbage fuck of a game the only high point in it is the Boganella.
valve games are the only steam exclusive games and if you think valve took over the pc market completely just because of hl2 and tf2 you have serious issues

Shitty pretentious indie "games" made by bugmen do not sell, what a surprise. Meanwhile there are thousands of nice little B games and Indie games on Steam, that are making a killing because they actually have soul and do not need 50 articles by "journalists" to sell some copies. If a game is good it will ALWAYS sell to its targeted audience nowadays , even with little to no marketing.

How is it good competition if it's an objectively worse launcher than steam where games are more expensive then they used to be on steam? LITERALLY the only reason to ever use epic is because of exclusive games, which is an shitty anti consumer practice and they shouldn't be supported because of that. Are the people who post this shit ironic or legit braindead retarded?

Lots of shitty games lowering the average sales/revenue. What the fuck are you on about. The problem is, that it is being used as some sort of evidence that Steam sales are shitty now. They are just harder to get without any marketing and quality.

Holy SHIT you're fucking stupid. How can you people be this fucking stupid? How is this even fucking possible?
Are you people real? Are you actually for real? did you graduate school? Not even highschool, not university, not a community college, fucking not even middle school, did you faggots even pass the 4th grade?

The fucking internet needs a basic IQ test before you're allowed on. Holy absolute fucking shit. I genuinely hope you're all Cheng Bugmen because if not this is the most embarrassing thing i've ever seen.

Notice that the MEAN revenue went UP by $7,740 between 2017 and 2018. That's an increase of 43%. Which is pretty significant.
The median went down, yes. People are spending less money on middle-of-the-road games. Which I think is a good thing. Nobody wants average, humdrum, shitty little games made by talentless indies. People want good games, and the 43% rise in the mean revenue made by games on Steam shows that gamers are spending more money on Steam than ever.
Liam Thomas
YEAH IM FUCKING SEETHING BECAUSE YOU RETARDS DONT KNOW BASIC CHILD MATH THAT YOU LEARN IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
I actually took a couple minutes to read some of Randy's tweets, I thought you guys were memeing when you said he was a delusional retard. This dude is legitimately mentally handicapped. There's a tweet in there where he says the best thing for consumers is a bunch of completely open stores that they have to choose from, and Epic is definitely moving towards this while Steam is moving away. Like...fucking what? He's like a dude running naked through the streets screaming that they sky is green and he can smell colors. He has a serious mental deficiency and needs professional help. He's just straight up claiming the opposite of easily visible reality is true. It's classic dementia.

>EGS and Tim Sweeney truly care about consumers >It's all for the good of consumers
Anyone who looks at the Epic Game Store and applies a handful of critical thinking can refute this. Prices on Epic game store are higher in some cases >extra fees based on payment method >fewer supported regions, causing them to assign those unsupported regions another region's higher price >as a result there are also fewer supported currencies, exchanging currencies comes with its own fees and exchange rates don't always match buying power anyway BEST case scenario is that a customer pays the same price as on another store. With the one exception of giving out Subnautica, I haven't seen them put a sale on or anything.
In the end, the devs get more money (notice how the only people calling it pro-consumer and competitive are gamedevs), and Epic gets more money, but the average consumer pays more money, or pays the same price at best. Even if you completely, 100% ignore the exclusivity bullshit they're pulling, nothing about this is pro-consumer. Nothing about this is competitive. Maybe one day they'll fix the regions and fees, but even then, the best you're looking at is identical prices.
>Maybe one day they'll fix the regions and fees It'll be a long wait. They claimed they were adding a shopping cart (how the fuck do you launch an online storefront without a shopping cart in 2019) in March, and it's almost the end of April. A" feature" as simple as a fucking shopping cart and they're unable to implement it within a reasonable amount of time.

Why is gog the only company that understands that the way you compete with steam is by offering something better than steam?
Jaxson Lopez
Reminder that Randy gets to go home each night to his beautiful wife. Whose really winning herre Yea Forums?
I have more games through GoG than anywhere else but Steam. Even the publisher-owned ones that force their game into their own platform, like Origin, Uplay, and Battle.net
If he thinks its going to be their HL2 why doesn't he have the balls to just make it a full on exclusive instead of a less timed exclusive than fucking shitro exodus?

So, did everyone have their turn at shitposting, or are some of you dipshits actually serious about Epic being decent in any way?
Asher Wood
He doesn’t explain, it’s because you aren’t the consumer (you are the product). Mostly though he just considers everyone to be fucking stupid so he can lie about “competition” right to our faces and get away with it. Just spend some time reading the morons in this thread if you want proof of that.
Jack Nguyen
You can't hit the level cap without the dlc. It adds like 30 more levels.
What I am okay with >releasing game on steam competitor, allowing them to push savings onto the consumer by selling the game at a lower price, bringing more customers to a different storefront by offering better value What I'm not okay with >exclusivity because epic paid them a lot of money
Christopher Morris
Could Valve open a kickstarter or something? If they really are dying I'm sure the fans could help them by kick starting a new game.
Henry Fisher
its my headcanon that randy never actually gets within 5 feet of his wife that is incapable of walking.
Hudson Long
Why is this e-celeb acceptable to talk about, Yea Forums?
Lincoln Miller
Valve is the richest private tech company on the planet.
Nathan Collins
Unironically this. This is the guy who embezzled money, hired a fucking butler, and then never paid him.
Landon Murphy
>Caring about Shitlands 3 and Randy Magictrickster
Anyone that buys this game on EGS is retarded and deserve to get shitty "service" games.
Isaac Lewis
Is it just me or is /pol/ seriously losing influence? Seems like the rest of Yea Forums has turned against them.
Parker Williams
CS:GO going F2P and the BR mode was in the card even before Fortine BR was released.
It wasn't a response to epic.
Austin Long
If you even need to say that you care about consumers and people are misunderstanding, that's already a sign that theres something wrong with your business.
Ayden Fisher
???
Jack Garcia
It’s not just you sweaty there is definitely an increase of fuckwits lately
Ahhh yes Randy the genius that brought us Battleborn. Truly a visionary
Gavin Reyes
/pol/ has no influence, it's REALITY that you keep getting owned by, and it will never stop, not even if the entire internet shuts down
Leo Rogers
I know you're being ironic, but there are people who actually believe this and this just tells me they don't get how pricing works. Given that the fixed costs per sold item are zero, publishers were always free to pick the price that would maximize revenue, and so they did. There is literally no incentive for them to lower prices.
Adam Ortiz
If you read his entire Twitter thread he brings up many valid points about the state of digital distribution. Paraphrasing and cutting out what he says doesn't do anyone any good.
Ayden Howard
>instead of working on what they felt like working on So, nothing? At least under a publicly traded company shareholders would want to see results from Valve. This might be the one time where I would want to see shareholders in charge. Valve has so many iconic franchise but refuses to do any actual game development.
Camden Ward
Not true at all. They've been consistently pushing out updates and new content for cs:go and tf2 all these years. Not to mention also helping to develop a VR system, releasing artifact, and also tuning their platform and providing APIs for developers to use on their platform.
Brandon Bennett
>Hurrrr there is one global market so why not allow another market in that refuses to play by the rules, what are you a corporate bootlicker?
>steam vr You mean that headset they literally confirmed a couple weeks back? Don't forget Knuckles too
Index is gonna have valve rolling in money from vrlets
Bentley Evans
/pol/ is losing power because the jokes are getting old, yeah we get it blacked porn jokes and basedboys and cucks. Not everyone wants to be a Hitlerian or some obscure fascist political ideology, and outside of some radically oppository ideologies, nobody gives a shit if you do it anyway.
Spending your time on other boards while still having to deal with /pol/'s extreme ideological isolation is fucking tiresome, go back to fucking /pol/ and complain about the jewspiracy, the holohoax, and the white genocide there.
Grayson Cook
Hey Randy! Wanna go to Medieval Times again? :)
David Roberts
>500 indie trash titles which barely qualify as games go on steam every week >they often cost less than $5 >no one buys them >wtf, why does the average go down
>People wising up and realizing purposely buying an indie game with quarter-assed work to support a lazy developer is the dumbest waste of money and time And how is this a bad thing?
Kevin Baker
I love how they're making this decision easy for me, fuck Epic.
Cooper Thompson
Why isn't he in jail yet
What ended up happening with that thumbdrive of CP?
Colton Gray
Thats the exact fucking guy I quoted. Lol hilarious fuck off troll
Thomas Bailey
>increase supply in games >each game has it's own demand curve >people don't give a shit for shit games.
the "average" game also includes games that are subpar because they let literal garbage in that's called a bell curve in jamaica also you are dumb why did you post a picture of michael pachter
Julian Jones
>filter ''steam drone'' >half the thread disappears because the one epic shill making all epic threads is filtered and all replies to his bait are filtered
Levi Adams
Based Randy saving some poor sod from climbing that mountain. Truly a team player and real bro.
Ryder White
It's scary to think that there are people that know of Randy Pitchford, and they will STILL buy his games.
Connor Nelson
Something something leaving a flashdrive of porn
Hudson Rogers
Dumb ass.
Thomas Turner
>tfw 95% of Yea Forums completely misses the context of this line It's a pretty great joke desu
Isaiah Lopez
Why would you go to jail for having CP? What type of country do you live in???
Angel Rogers
>thinking any respectable person would buy borderlands 3 after the tragedy that was borderlands 2 regardless of where it was being sold on pc n-no but i NEED THE FART HUMOR MEME GAME no thank you, i'll be playing the master chief collection and other great games available to me without having chinks spying on me for having a game launcher open if nothing else i hope you enjoy it, at least. I will personally never buy a borderlands game again.
Oh so its just greedy devs pushing this like everyonr suspected
David Taylor
>try to become a mod on SA forums.txt kek, i got that reference
Matthew Stewart
>claptrap le epic dabbing We actually have Anthony Burch over here
Jason Carter
Yes Sega was Seething that you embezzled millions from ACM to Borderlands 2. But nothing compared to how you seethed when the Hitman devs in their desperation for a publisher never was desperate enough to run to you. Now go back to watching your piss fetish porn.
I didn't have a desk for 2 years so got gud with steam controller on a couch PC setup. Definitely worth getting used to for anything first person, usable for 3D platformers but chances are regular controller is better for that. 2D platformers are a non-starter due to lack of a good d-pad
