They are selling Epic keys. To the Epic games launcher. At the same price as the Epic game launcher. Same as humble.
It's still shit.

Whats the point? Everyone uses Greenman for getting games a few dollars cheaper, is epic that greedy to price fix it?
It's in Canadian dollars.
How's the game going, Randy? Did you have to leech money from other products this time?
Why the fuck is it $80? For STANDARD EDITION!? Is this in Canada or some other region?
no, people choose to sell steam keys because its convenient. epic moneyhats exclusives because they're kikes. If you dont like that you have to have steam to play a game, blame the developer. If you dont like that you have to have epic to play a game, blame epic.
Never mind. Poor leafs.
This is in US
They do. At lower prices than steam.
>$79.99
what form of power is this?
DRM
Epic
now change steam to epic.
works as well
I love seeing Gaben cock gobblers SEETHING over Epic.
It is simply... Epic.

HOLY SHIT STEAM SUCKS EPIC WINS
LOOOOOT ... boxes
did they ever sell stuff like "golden chests" or "golden keys" which improve the drop chance for rare items or am I imagining that?
>This is the guy that calls me an Epic store shill chinkoid
>more loot boxes
HOLY SHIT! DROPPED!
They're just selling the game for epic to pad the numbers.
It's still an epic exclusive. Says it right there.
They had a golden chest in the hub town in 2 that you could get keys for. I don’t remember paying real money for them though
How's the social score going Chang? You got enough to get a mortgage yet? A few more shill threads and maybe winnie the pooh will blow you!
For all you shocked people, $79.99 is what Ive been used to seeing for 4+ years now. Welcome to leafland

Who cares?
Its still on EpicFailStore so it aint getting anywhere near my PC?

You're right. The Epic monopoly should be broken.
>Steam DRM = Good
>Epic DRM = Bad
Said this, Steam keys are sold in tons of stores (not just two) and the lazy pieces of shit that only sell Steam keys only do it out of laziness and not because Valve paid them to do so.
>t. someone that fucking hates that stores only sell Steam keys for games that have a DRM-free build

that's nice randy, still not gonna buy your crap
i save €5 apparently
This guy gets it, GMG is my go to for brand new games because there is a sizeable discount 100% of the time, I've not paid 60$ for a game in 8 years
Wow no wonder you hate Epic you cheap bastard
>breaking a monopoly by creating its own monopoly
mongoloid
It's like thot begone but for incels.
I think it has something to do with the whole incel spouting surge that then just devolved further to just "have sex"
I wonder who's behind this post
Oof
I have not had my internet turn off in months. I guess I am just better at life than you
You do know that EGS has offline mode too?
>incel
Lmao, chinkoid shat himself again.
Usually external stores sell steam keys at lower prices and/or with discounts. And that's without steam's evolvement because of publisher's decision to circumvent steam's cut.
And what do we have here?
EGS keys are sold by the same price as on EGS itself because of partnership with Epic Gays as it was stated by Tim Swiney himself.
Tiananmen Square Massacre 1989
Winnie the Pooh
Free Tibet
Fuck niggers.
Don't (You) me chinkoids.
What are they going to do when it releases on steam? Sell Epic and Steam keys?
The problem was and always will be Epic's Exclusivity deals.
Whether they allow people to buy a Epic games store Key from another site means nothing because you are still required to download EGL, make a EGS account, and play it the game on the EGL.
Also it doesn't matter if Humble and GMG is selling the Epic keys. They aren't allowed to sell that lower than Epic's price. So it's effectively just buying from the EGS anyway so it's entirely pointless that these stores sell the keys.
>79.99
lmao
so they're not selling it then, they've been given permission to sell it only if they sell it at the same price as epic and price gouge instead of competing, which is the equivalent to not selling it at all because it's not competition
nice job faglord
>laundering money for terrorists
desu being a terrorist must be the easiest job in the world with all the support
Possibly stop selling Epic Store keys? Maybe a selection before you check out whether you want Steam or Epic?
>no discount of any kind, not even vip
is gmg not allowed to have lower prices than daddy tencent?
Yes. Because it's partnership between GMG and Epic Tencent, and not between GMG and publisher of the game.
nu/v/ is filled with normalfags
so even with third party stores we're still fucked because ebin wont allow price competition?
Yep. Making the fact they sell the games on different sites completely and entirely meaningless if not counter productive.
Yes.
Steam allows publishers/devs to generate an infinite amount of keys to sell whenever/however pubs/devs want.
Epig allows pubs/devs to generate whoknowshowmuch keys to sell only on a selection of external key stores and on Ebins conditions because Tim Swine and Sergay Galyonkin are afraid to do actual competition.
>tfw no hope of a redemption arc for epic and they are truly lost
this what i get for being an optimist
No, i just checked it's US as well.
Pics or bullshit
>GMG
>No discount
So there's no fucking point to EGS games being on third party sites then?
Go and check Epic shill
Same shit was happening with Metro Exodus when ebin got in partnership with Humble.
No reasinable pricing, no usual 10% discounts for pre-order/release, no nothing.
This is bullshit that epic shills will now spam all over Yea Forums as their first "victory" without even noticing how their trousers are full of their own shit.
>waaah I can't get my 60% off discounts :(((
COMPETITION
GOOD
What's the point in buying a code if it's not going to be any cheaper than cutting out the middle man?
STEAM
BAD
PRAISE XIN JIN PING
How is this an argument lmao. Yes, unless I get huge discounts and cheap games, I am not going to purchase. This isn't console, I will pirate if I want it that much. You are providing a service - a poor one - for a cost that is not worth the effort of not pirating buddy, sucks to be you
yes exactly mr tencent. we like cheap games, now you know the real reason why people use steam.
>80€
remember when epic CEO said the lower cut would allow publishers to make games cheaper?
LOL
Remember when Epic told the truth?
I sure as fuck don't.
>can only buy it on Epic Games launcher
>$80 standard edition no matter where you buy the Epic Game key from
>Epic boss Sweeney already confirms that he won't be doing sales often/at all compared to Steam
nice "competition" to the Steam monopoly that Sweeney and Winnie the Pooh have there. I can already see the benefit to the consumer happening and how Epic Games is winning over the publisher because the publisher is the one who'll decide which store is the winner.
>Deluxe Edition
Standard is "only" 60€ which is still shit considering it's on GMG.
shit like this is why epic shill threads are just larpers doing it for replies, it has to be. nobody would wholeheartedly support this trash. nobody can be seriously be this dumb.
10% still isn't worth it. I refuse to pay that much for standard edition PC games.
lol, try going offline with no internet connection
You would still get the same options if you have logged in within 30 days.
>Bl3 sales are so low on the EGS that they started selling the game on gmg too
COMPETITION. GOOD.
Steam has lower prices and isnt a shit platform.
Tencent cocksucker BTFO
I do. Hell, I think that the only source of the Steam version should be Steam itself.
Epic ass rimmers are so stupid they dont know what a monopoly is.
FUCK I LOVE LOOTER SHOOTERS, THESE REALLY SPEAK TO MY GENERATION, AAAH SO EPIC! I ONLY WISH THERE WERE 28 HOURS IN THE DAY SO I CAN FIT 24 HOURS OF THIS IN WITHOUT HAVING TO FOREGO MY DAILY VIEWING OF THE LATEST AVENGERS MOVIE!!!
>I think that the only source of the Steam version should be Steam itself.
of course you do, because you're one of morons who thinks every key site, even ones that are partnered with actual publishers, support russian prostitution rings.
Nah, they were good about not doing that to my knowledge. You got codes for the gold keys from the borderlands twitter once a week iirc
It's ok, I'll just pirate
i dont even like borderlands and barely play any of the games i own on steam. i dont care
I remember when epic CEO rage quit the pc gaming market because muh piracy.
>WHY WON'T EPIC LET OTHER STORES SELL KEYS FOR THE GAME???
>Okay, now other people can sell it
>WELL THEY SELL THE KEYS FOR THE SAME PRICE AS THE EPIC STORE SO THERE'S NO POINT!
>Okay, here it is cheaper
>THAT'S NOT CHEAP ENOUGH FOR ME!
Friendly reminder that people won't be satisfied unless games come out on Steam and Epic Store at the same time which will never happen, so just ride out the retards in the Internet comments until everybody gets on board just like every other launcher
keep crying bitch
>paying full price
>on GMG
Who the fuck would do this?
Some will cave, many will probably pirate it. The first two games were easy to play coop even when cracked. Others will wait.
But I complain, user.
I complain about everything, always.
Never again can you honestly suggest no one complains because I'll be there... complaining about you.
Gonna be some real dejavu for him on that front in
its full price on gmg with no discount, dont fall for memes.
>>Okay, here it is cheaper
>>THAT'S NOT CHEAP ENOUGH FOR ME!
Because that's disingenuous bullshit. You know what people mean when they say they want discounts: they want the discounts they're used to and have become standard over the past 15 years. Faggots aren't entitled to my money, they have to actively earn it, and they're nowhere close to earning that large a sum of cash for what they offer.
Yep, we let's make Steam a monopoly after all!
Where the fuck are you getting more than 10% off on games that aren't even released yet? Even GMG does like 10% MAX on those.
No, I do it because I don't like to create a Steam account for a game I bought on GamersGate, Humble Store, Amazon or fucking retail.
I dunno, I've seen Anno 1800 going for 33% off before it got pulled off steam
>Even GMG does like 10% MAX on those.
they do 15% off in pretty much everything with vip. dmc 5 is barely a month old and they do 23% off with vip already. uplay in europe offers 20% discount codes just for playing video games. epic doesn't offer a fucking thing to consumers except discontent.
With the 12% cut they can't make them that much cheaper which was the entire point of 3rd party keys on steam, I could get save like $20 off of brand new games from sites like this, that's impossible with epic.
Doubt you have network monitoring software to confirm that.
i got fallout 4 30% off as a prepurchase
haha you truly btfo that guy xDD
epic win, have an upvote
Steam's client doesn't need to go online after 30 days. I used offline fine for 3 months when I had no net.
Steam doesn't charge me 80 fucking dollars.
you realize publishers/developers set their own prices on Steam right?
I'll wait for the Steam version desu
Games are only worth it if I can get like 25% off pre-order price. Which is what you can get for games that release on steam.
well at least this means I don't have to give china my credit card info / identity data. I'll buy the game from greenmangaming via my account there and register a new epic account to the name of Winnie the Pooh, ez
this shit has never worked for me
can go offline just fine if im connected
when my provider or steam servers shit the bad it just doesnt work
also flat out doesnt for denuvo games anyway
>it'll be good for the consumer they said
>competition breeds excellence they said
60€ for a digital standard edition on PC
LOLOLOLOLOLOL, I'll wait for the Fitgirl edition ;)
how could they fuck up so badly? they have this huge win in releasing borderlands 3 and then they fuck it all up by selling out to epic. this game will be the most pirated game in recent time, screencap this
[x] doubt
JUST
No. It obviously does not.
Why is it the same price as Steam though
delusional as fuck.
80$ dollary dos
thats gonna be a yikes from me desu
And why do you care if people don't want to use the Epic store?
Why don't you ask Randy on Twitter?
>Epic
yikes, hard pass
did that this morning when the internet went down, had a nice time messing around in arma
Why do Canadians have to pay more?
because they use a fucking leaf in their flag
the joys of having a dollar that is almost HALF of the american dollar.
...or will be in a couple years.
>its just full retail price
great
>citation required
You better believe it's going to sell for millions. I find your lack of faith in the chink overlords appalling.
>buying Randy's game at any price
Haha, oh wow.
if it wouldn't sell for 80 dollar it would be cheaper. so 80 dollar is the right price
Are you posting from 2008?
GMG almost always has a 10% discount minimum on new shit. They like undercutting.
The fact that they're not here says it all.
Our dollar isn't worth shit. At least it's better than Australia though.
They sell you a key to the epic game store. Also
>Standard Edition is $80
Where do you live? Thats awful.
What happened in Canada to make games $80?
>DRM
aw shucks guess i'll just have to buy it later near release when the DRM free version (that's also free) comes out
>buying a borderlands game at lauch
you guys never learn, i will wait for the steam release with all the DLCs.
Kind of just the way things always have been. We're consistently below the US dollar. It's been pretty bad lately...
>all these post complaining that Epic has regional pricing
you guys never cease to amuse me
>all this mental gymnastics over the fact that epic store games aren't exclusively sold at epic
>Game is 60 usd in EGS
>In GMG it's not even included because GMG has regional pricing
>yeah, fuck the feature that made third worlders actually buy games
neck yourself faggot

>$80
booo fucking hoo. I'm paying the equivalent of $254 if I want to get this shit game
unironically check your privilege
>I'm paying the equivalent of $254
What shithole

lol no wonder they started making their own games
>Steam allows publishers/devs to generate an infinite amount of keys to sell whenever/however pubs/devs want.
Patently false. They only allow publishers/devs to generate loadsa keys if the game is already selling well on Steam, they try and stop devs undercutting the Steam store price elsewhere
>being chink cocksucker
god damn
you hit the new low
yikes!
Spare a thought for the poor lad who posts that list of all the steam key sellers vs epic key sellers every thread, he's tearing his hair out over this
you're unironically wrong, this gets debunked in every epic shill thread. check steam's own terms.

The absolute state of the chinese apologists.
>GMG is the only third-party seller (not counting Epic's "partner" Humblebundle
So is this how Epic tries to show us they're totally on-board with third-party sellers of games on their platform? By making there still be very limited options on where to buy from? Where's Fantical, Gamesplanet, Voidu, GameBillet, or Direct2Drive?
i'll take the screencap of a steam employee over your ass, cheers
>Direct2Drive
That's dead and buried.
it'll look even better when he lists that anyone wanting to sell Epic keys has to match their price
Still exists, still sometimes has deals
So....is it DRM free or what? Because if I still need to launch the Epic games store I ain't buying shit.
>'Yeah we're not gonna keep generating keys if it's blatantly obvious you're not looking to have the game sold on steam, with an example of 500k keys generated for a game selling 2-3k'
>Durr hurr see user? Valve clearly isn't being generous with their keys and being able to generate your own to sell is just lip service
It says right on the right hand side that you're getting and EGS key
This wasn't due to undercutting, this guy was giving his keys to Russian botfarms to get trading card money. It's more profitable that way than selling shit games.
There are no advantages for the Epic Store to the consumer. I really don't give a fuck about the developer or their cut.
Big cope over a wrong statement being corrected. user said valve allows devs to generate infinite keys to sell however they want, this is proven false. Are you denying it?
>$80
>Standard edition
>Mfw I used a trainer to get those keys
>current year
>DRM free
If Epic isn't fucking you, Steam is, and Denuvo's probably part of the fun. If you care about DRM nowadays you have to stick to older games on GOG or turn piratefag
Imagine if instead of paying devs for (timed) exclusivity Epic paid to have the games at like a 30% discount on release. How much gamers would be praising the fuck out of them right now and shitting on steam. It'd literally be the complete opposite of what is happening now if Epic just did that instead. And it wouldn't cost them any more money than paying for exclusivity.
they would have to release a game i actually give a fuck about first.
i was fucking gifted borderlands 2 and i played it all of 45 minutes because it was fucking trash.
Yeah. I will never know why they don't just do sales war instead of paying money to woke devs.
>How much gamers would be praising the fuck out of them right now and shitting on steam
Wouldn't happen
Steam might as well be the pc platform to most of its users, they won't move for anything. Look at The Division as an example, people buy it on steam when it needs uplay anyway, willingly going through not one but two third party clients to play their fucking game
And here's me struggling to do push ups with my arms
Wasn't it a single line change in a config file?
>with all the DLCs
don't think I could sit through that
I genuinely liked BL1 from the get-go and even I got burned out before finishing the GOTY edition. the basic gameplay is more taxing than diablo and its clones for about the same reward, eventually it seems more grind than loot collecting fun
>DRM
>Epic Store
>Standard Edition
>$80
Every modern AAA game that isn't developed by CD Projekt RED or Rockstar Games requires you a fucking launcher.
Who cares? The game isn't worth playing anyways
What a retarded chink nigger.
Enjoy your four legged barking dinner eaten by your overlords as your punichment for making no effort in shilling.

>buy $60 Steam game for $50 on GOG
>buy $80 Epic game for $80 on GOG
>Epic, not content with ruining Steam, is now also ruining GMG by raising their prices of games
>Steam does this too
The steam keys on GMG almost always have a discount that incentivizes competitive pricing.
This is a full price Epic key. No sales competition. The only value in getting it through GMG is you aren't paying Epic directly.
Epic is genuinely a terrible company and I hope you guys don't support them or Tencent.
I don't, but that's because all these clients are cancer. Pirate or bust
soys exist for every genre
Where do I buy from to get DRM-free executables? What's the name of that one site that was explicitly anti-Denuvo, and would post DRM-free torrents/downloads/cracks?
I wonder if the tencent money will cover all the money lost from pirating.
gog provides games with no drm post purchase (or, they used to, nowadays you're required to use their client for online functionality in titles, but otherwise they're drm free), some games even on steam are drm free after purchase (FTL is a good example).
Have you even read the screenshot you posted?
>lost money
if you were never going to buy it, it's not lost now is it?
>but I was!
and a fucking change of storefront swayed you? Somehow I doubt your business will be missed, m8.

valve isn't a monopoly you fucking retard it's a market leader they don't do anything but fucking exist. Epic literally does monopolistic tactics to even compete with valve
