Woah are epic the good guys?

We do not negotiate with terrorists

Imagine if Walmart suddenly started selling all of their products at a loss, while using other ways to offset the money they're hemorrhaging (raping their employees, charging extra fees for currency conversion, etc) Everyone cheers because they're cheaper and they get lots of press for their unsustainable business model.

Then when Amazon ignores the whole thing, they start saying that Amazon should start selling at a loss too, or else they're pieces of shit. That's basically what's happening here.

This guy just want Gaben to respond to him, well kid it aint happening

Truly the paragon of morality right there

Enjoy your Fortnite money while it keeps coming, Sweeney.

Valve can't give this cut because it doesn't have a Fortnite to fund them, that's why he is saying that, he knows the 88/12 cut isn't sustainable on the long run

>is the chinese puppet corp the good guy?
no

Yeah those digital copies and bandwith cost so much money

You literally just described Amazon's business model.

P-Please guys we only want your money to steal more written patents and sell them for half the price with no idea if they work or not

Tim Sweeney himself said lowering the cut is unsustainable
so the bandwidth probably does cost a lot of money in the long run

What do you guys have a PhD in economic operations research or something?

Amazing, I didn't know that Valve had no operating costs to run at all! All this time GabeN was a sentient AI, and all those employees are just fake personalities. And all at the same time the server hardware they have to maintain is completely free! Truly a state of the art fully automated business.

Honey is a free browser ad on that is available on Google, Opera, Firefox, Safari - if it's a browser, it has Honey. Honey AUTOMATICALLY saves you money when you check out on sites like Amazon, Papa John's, Cold - wherever you shop there's a good chance that Honey can save you money. All you have to do is when you're checking out major sites, just click that little orange button, and it will scan the entire internet to find discount codes, for YOU. There's literally no reason not to install Honey. It takes two clicks, 10 million people use it, 100,000 five star reviews - unless you hate money, you should install Honey.

The reality is that the opposite of this situation is true.

JUst bear with me for a second as I tell you what you No doubt alrEady know. FOr for some now, epic has been UndeRcutting sTeam witH Its eNdless exclusIves aNd anti-CompetiIive Deals with companiEs iN The gaming industry.

Dont forget the small text at the bottom where he had a bunch more retarded demands

>Tim Sweeney: This is unsustainable
>Tim Sweeney: We'll stop doing a bad thing if you subscribe to the unsustainable thing

Gabe gotta be laughing his ass off.

It actually does. So do the servers, and the support for steam (granted, that's like $3.50), and the CC handling operation, and the marketing operation.

This is so tiring man, Yea Forums is so tiring nowadays, just the same baitshit, low effort, console war faggots posted and reposted over and over again, I can't fucking believe even the communist shithole reddit is better for discussion nowadays, Yea Forums sinked the hardest of all other boards, excluding Yea Forums probably, and even then i'm not sure about that

Reddit is great for the narrow band of discussion that falls within the acceptable limits of the subreddit in question.
That's about it.

Epic are the good guys in the same way the IS are the good guys.

or modern Feminists are the good guys
or SJWs are the good guys
or MS13 are the good guys
or El Chapo is the good guy

you don't need a PhD to realize when somebody is running a business model that isn't sustainable in the longrun

No, because they are hypocritical asshats.

Especially when people discovered they made their staff do 100h per week to make Fortnite profitable.

>demand something thats impossible without valve cutting features
>will likely continue to buy exclusives
He's a crooked jew. Sony tier leech on the industry.

>food analogies

Epic games would not stop pursuing exclusives even if Steam did beat Epic's offers. Sweeny is greedy and he's not going to suddenly just reverse course and stop being greedy just because a competitor manages to fulfill some completely arbitrary and unenforceable statement. Sweeny's statement is not even worth the 1s and 0s its mad out of.

Tim Sweeney looks like a pedophile and also they are full of shit. They are just seeing if Valve will call their bluff.

As an indie developer paying Epic hundreds a month for UE4, it's a pretty good deal compared to the alternatives.
