Games where your plan backfires?

piratefags like usual

Nah that's just a shitty joke.

they at least got money from epic yeah?

trying to get pity-fueled sells

game was originally on Steam but got pulled
devs gloat over the fact that Sweeney pays up front so they don't need their fans
nobody buys the game
they were in full twitter meltdown just a few hours ago

It was proven to be a joke. They didn't really sell 9 games

twitter.com/SatisfactoryAF/status/1121737737466462208

Nah, it's not. Seems the Satisfactory devs are big twitter trolls.

Shoulda been obvious that it's impossible to sell only 9 copies.

Makers of Goat Simulator make a new game, this time non-meme one they put effort in and put it on pre-order on Steam for ages.
They remove it from Steam before launch because Epic bribes them.
Fans tell them to fuck off cause they're sellouts.
Devs call fans entitled bitches and double dare them to pirate the game if they're so salty cause they're going to sell gorillions on Epic anyway.
Fans pirate the game, devs end up selling less than 10 copies on Epic store.

CHINK'D

I don't understand the point of doing this though. All it's doing is making it sound like the move to Epic Store is abysmal for sales.

Shitposting devs post obviously fake shit, now either themselves or retard user are using it to give themselves free advertising.

Just look at twitch at any given time. There's dozens of cunts streaming the game so even if they gave out free copies, the tweet is clearly false. You lot are being fucking retarded and spreading the word about the game.

The devs like to joke on twitter and nu-Yea Forums is incapable of recognizing a joke that isn't in one of its 3 designated meme formats.

>>people get mad and threaten to pirate
Treating these people as your consumers is such a cuck move and I can't believe game studios are playing hostage negotiations with seething retards who pirate that shit anyway,

Why would they care if they already got the dirty china money anyways? The only logical reason anyone would accept the bribe is if it made up for all of the obviously lost sales they are going to have.

I've been reading their twitter front page for eight minutes and I still can't tell if it's satire.

The back of cereal boxes have more wit than you, user.

I’m so glad. Fuck coffee stain. Coasting kn fucking meme simulator and pandering to faggots that barely even play games when they could have been making a Sanctum 3 that wa actually good.

But they were always pandering fags. The whole reason sanctum 2 wasn’t as good was because they wanted to pander to consoles.

I sincerely hope people haven't been getting mad at such low effort bait. But they asked for the pirating no matter how many copies they sold. But that begs the question: Was the game even worth playing in the first place?

To be fair, they were legitimately butthurt about all of the pirating comments. I could only keep the idea of satire in my head because of the numbers they pulled. I wasn't fooled by that, but it made me question why they let the resident rando make Epic look bad as a joke.

and if you look deeper into the twitter feed, it's more threads about pirates being shitheads and making real world analogies for piracy. I'm sure that's all satire, too.

bruh you can check even shit like twitch to see at least 30+ streams of it from nobodies open right now, you can easily browse comments on forums, or even jsut their twitter of more then 9 people saying that they own it
gaslighting is when you take a past event and attempt to trick people into believing that it occurred differently then it did by carefully suggesting slight differences to the truth over time
what they were doing was the equivalent of a toddler walking up to you on a playground telling you to put your hand out because they want to give you a pretty rock they found but then dropping a lady bug instead and giggling uncontrollably, so don't think I'm siding with the mongs or anything in fact I think they're kind of really stupid

this is fake, games are selling great on epic store

Pirating websites should be taken down for ruining smaller businesses just to pamper entitled gaymers. Pirating triple A games was justified, but it's going way too far to do it to much smaller development studios.

It wouldn't completely fix the problem, but it sure as fuck would kill most of it.

Did they really think it was a smart idea to put a guy that has "bipolar" in his Twitter-bio in charge of their scoial networking?
I understand he´s joking about the 9 sales thing, but why the fuck would you do that? It doesn´t look like it sold amazingly well and the whole 9 sales meme ends up hurting them and by proxy Epic. The fact that a lot of people would actually believe it is funny as fuck though, says a lot about EGS's reputation.

actually... you can always find what IP's pirate certain media
one technique is to save a database of stubs of every torrent magnet but none of the data so your server is pinged with each ip that requests a certain torrent
there is even a few sites for it open to public use that track all torrent downloads

Leeching is getting your product from others. Seeding is sharing your already downloaded product with other leechers.
If anyone ever gets caught for pirating games then seeding will have worse legal consequenses.

You don't have a right to play a videogame just because it's on the Epic Games Launcher.
Piracy is illegal and unethical.

Video game consumers were bullied as children so they're used to being treated like shit

You don't have a right to complain about your game being pirated when you aren't offering me a physical copy with the entire game on the physical media and that doensn't use any console wannabe platform like Steam or EGS

This

Actually you do, because the pirate is committing intellectual property theft.

Where are you getting that they sold a lot? According to Epic they only sold ~150k copies.

Good I'm tired of iron man movies and black widow always sucked

Why are consumers expecting corporations to treat them with kiddy gloves? Especially after bragging about pirating their software.

Wasn't a joke, their game flopped and they are butthurt about. All Epic exclusives have been massive flops. Dumb Epic shill.

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than being a buyfag. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are buying from, subscribing to, playing the product of, and defending a corporation solely so they can go and get your games locked onto certain digital stores. All the hard work devs put into their beautiful games - sculpting their bodies, getting the animations just right, figuring out what their audience wants, designing a fun experience. All of it has one simple result: their game is more enjoyable for one particular audience that will buy it on another storefront. Made the perfect game? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a random alt-right russian hacker incel who has nothing to do with digital stores, who just pirates the game. He gets to play the game without any sort of interruption or DRM. He gets the benefits of the game's good times, the way the devs intended. As a "man" who has a PC, you are LITERALLY dedicating years of your life supporting a publisher simply to support games for other storefront consumers to enjoy. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically

>devs gloat over the fact that Sweeney pays up front so they don't need their fans

where is the problem here?
isnt this epics final strategy? buying a game under the threat that even though nobody will buy it on their store, they will make it exclusive so that nobody will ever play it, kind of as revenge for not buying on epic in the first place?

I'm so glad that this guy with a beard told me that his pronouns are he/him. I would have had no idea otherwise.

9 copies per day?

its actually factorio in UE4. First person, yes, Shooter, not at all

It's a take on an old copypasta about "anything more cucked than having a daughter"

Lol shill. No one should support the games when they are released to steam either. Until their next release isn't epic timed exclusive they don't get any money from me.

That happened to me but I was the kid that fell, still have like wires inside my ear and shit.

the tweet is real
you can pirate a game and still stream it, I don't see how that proves it sold well just because its being streamed

Sanctum 2 was fucking garbage.

EGS isn't just giving bribes but using those bribes as sales minimums. so these devs/publishers can say their EGS exclusive game sold 250k copies because that's how many copies EGS "bought" from them. That's why none of their numbers will ever be legit.

Hades is Epic exclusive and Early Access

>I cry when I hurt people who hurt me
You sound like a faggot whose genes should have been purged in a war

It's very clear they sold more than 9 copies, however its pretty obvious they didnt get the numbers they wanted. I cant ask for more, epic will foot the bill on this mistake and maybe understand that bad blood makes or breaks companies.

EGS is an indie's dream. They buy the exclusivity and promise/guarentee sales (money).
Indies have been getting mad at Steam lately because their shitty games don't sell in a very huge market and expect Valve to do all PR for them and think putting their game on Steam should be automatic success.

It's pretty simple economics user, if a store gives you 1,000,000,000% revenue share it doesn't mean shit if they get no customers. All this minimum sales guarantee bullshit is a bandaid to trick devs into thinking it's a good business move. In the end they get no growth and no potential for success in future games, but hey they get a bit of cash right now.

I can't tell if you're taking this serious or if I'm falsely taking (you) serious

My dude, sseth's video on Space Station 13 is a million views. I don't think the game ever exceeded 2000 players, and middles around between 600-1200 players, possibly less now.

The tweet is meant to be a joke but it comes across as an extremely desperate one when they went on a total meltdown about piracy at the same time. It didn't sell 9 copies but it's obvious it sold worse than they expected. They're trying to pull some kind of high ground by acting like all the potential customers they shunned are dumb assholes.

Giving people ammunition over the internet without clarifying what you meant isn't doing them any favors. People are just going to ape these tweets and other people are going to start believing it.

Don't worry I'm just copying 0's and 1's to my hardrive that belongs to me, I would never rob a game store and steal a game, that's not moral.

Raccoons also steal trash but we don't lock them up for 15 years, we just tell them to quit that shit and don't sperg out about them.

I thought we struck them over the head with cinder blocks and pulled out the meat.

Well they're the only official numbers ever released, until we get better data it's the only citable figure.

Which is even more funny. How exactly this is damaging sales again?

Not unless you're a homeless heroin addict, which I suppose is why it's only indie devs that sperg out about pirates.

It's satire.
That said, all satire has at least some truth to it. Otherwise it wouldn't be satire, it would be a lie.

And no developer is going to make a catty "Joke" about only selling 9 copies if the sales were actually good. They'd broadcast that sales were doing good.
While they've no doubt sold significantly more than 9 copies, the overall sales is probably not all that good and worrying enough for them that they feel they need to preemptively deflect with a number so low people can't possibly believe it's real.
The reality is that they've probably only sold a few thousand copies. Hell, maybe even as long as only a few hundred.

>doesnt even have a credit card
It is funny, because cards much more popular in russia and 99% of them have paywave function.

Just buy factorio instead, respectable serious devs.

Just let go. It's an alright game, I guess. The enemies feel like an afterthought that you just harmlessly run over between driving to resource deposits, mostly just annoying. Managing power is a huge pain in the ass while you're grinding to unlock the next tier of power generation. Just farms of generators being supplied by spaghetti belts or manually, shutting down every half hour as you expand and need to build more of them. I'm up to the last tier trying to build computers and honestly it's just a hassle combining so much shit for some component gizmo you need dozens of to build or unlock the next doodad that doesn't really do anything.

Also the big trucks flip constantly fuck those things dont even bother with them.

Was actually interested in this game too. Guess I will be waiting for a non early access pirated copy since I don't want to be updating it constantly.

that's.. pathetically less...
Here's the calculation
$24 each copies.
Dev gets $24 * 88% = $21.12 for each.
And 500k * $21.21 = $10,560,000.
And for a 30 person company,
for average of $5000 salary, it's $150,000.
so, they can operate for $10,560,000/150,000 = 70 months or about 6 years
They can operate for about 6 years, and that's not including the money they will spend on renting an office, probably outsourcing stuffs, or expenses, etc.
I'm sure they would have an investors that will take part of the profits away as well.
That leaves them even lesser time to operate before they are fucked in the ass.
So, no, 500k copies are really pathetic.

>Consumers: "You do not seem to understand, we control if your game is successful or not. Add it back to Steam where it belongs or else."

>Consumers: "We warned you."
>Developer: "UHHHH CLEARLY THIS WAS JUST A COINCIDENCE"

so can someone explain to me what their "plan" was for this? to make a bonfire of what public image they had? i had heard about the game and it sounded ok, though I didn't know it was chink-locked
they start making blatantly false 'bait' posts to...garner pity? empathy? something? and then shit on anyone that talks to them
and then when they make the ""big reveal"" that actually those blatantly false posts were false they treat it as if they're some sort of mastermind

Incompetents who don't understand business, or people who think they can get brownie points from gaming media by dumping on consumers, and that they'll attract a new market with the negative publicity and controversy created.

Last Light sold like absolute shit at launch, it had shit PR and made a difficulty option a pre-order bonus which pissed off everyone. It eventually sold alright through sales but the numbers everyone keeps looking at for the figures they quote is for the Redux re-release which wasn't a dumpsterfire at launch and sold well.

The 2.5x that keeps getting reported on is misleading because they cut out the part where it's for Last Light, not Redux, and it's for the same sales peroid i.e. the dogshit launch. Anyone old enough to remember the original release already knows this is PR spin.

Epic is a larger more complected company and they're 40% owned by a public Chinese company.
They're trying to meme their way to success.
You know, all those "Steam is dying" threads that were spammed here for a few weeks?
Publicity.

its more like "we sold 260k more copies than Steam"
all they do is make Steam bad so people with the iq of a potato think Epic is the saviour of pc gaming

250k is pretty good for a store that Yea Forums keeps telling me no one uses and that will definitely crash and burn any day now trust me guys

it's a very, very bad storefront and an even worse distribution service. Refusing to buy a game on a platform that's anti-consumer isn't petty, it's fine.

The fact that 250k sales was the tipping point for the record weekend and the other big ticket games were already out of their main selling windows shows how badly they performed, because this should not have bested the weekend for Metro or The Division.

>the numbers everyone keeps looking at for the figures they quote is for the Redux re-release which wasn't a dumpsterfire at launch and sold well
We have the official Steam numbers for Redux, at the time of the Steam data leak, it was at a few thousand short of 1.5 million. I can get the leaked numbers right now. Last Light classic we don't have the data for unfortunately.

Not when they spent millions acquiring it, they're still in the red right now mate.

a storefront that you have to look at one time in order to make a purchase? that's like not going to the only grocery store that sells a specific brand you like because you think its layout is annoying

Which is pretty good for a niche series which it always has been. Although that 1.5M for PC would have mostly been long after launch because they said 6 months after launch that it'd broken 1.5M for all platforms. Which is still good for the size of the game it is, people just seem to think it's a major franchise now for some reason.

No it's garbage and making a functional UI would be just the start. There's still no fucking update or patch notes feature on it. It's so goddamn barebones I'm surprised I don't have to manually update the games too.

Yes but Indies made name due to Steam and Crowdfunding, the way they are going exclusive means they will neither get the same visibility as they had on Steam or they get the same visibility due to Crowdfunding campaigns.

For Indies this is great as long Epic is fronting the money because they were visible but this is just with the first exclusive, its unlikely Epic will be their Suggerdaddy forever, if they dont sell due to EGS exclusivity then Epic will not extend beyond that, for Crowdfunding this can be even worst since not only the honeymoon period is over as people got jaded with Mighty Nº9 and similar failures but people can just see this EGS Exclusives nothing the developer using then to get a exclusive and feel to been nothing but a marketing pitch meaning, people are now even less likely to back a project until they are assured there are no exclusivity shenanigans.

Of course Epic wants names but EGS isnt generating those names and if they were, they would not be giving exclusivity deals ... in short, Indies are now heading to another Indyapocalypse.
