People have been saying that about other companies like nintendo for years now. They're here to stay because we cannot stop sucking the tits of companies.

It's like every time something comes out, everybody turns to look at the king to see how he reacts. If steam/valve is so done then why is everybody constantly thinking about how every little thing will effect steam/valve?
Dominic Torres
Valve is beating epic without even needing to acknowledge their existence
If that isn't based as fuck
Henry Garcia
>sudden increase of chinkoid threads after Timmy Tencent made another move
Jannies. You know what to do.
Luis Scott
They could have a free weekend on all the multiplat games that Epic also has and call it the """Epic""" Games Weekend and they still wouldn't feel it.
Jason Hill
i still remember the days when people were shitting on ps3 so much and saying how sony will never be able to make a ps4.
Hunter Sanchez
To be entirely fair, the PS3 and PS4 are massive fucking disappointments for someone wanting a successor to the PS1 and PS2. It's just a Japanese Xbox now with the occasional Japanese game.
James Robinson
Other way around.
Steam just has to wait a few more years at most for Epic Fortnite money to dry up. No game has endured more than 3-4 years at this level of success. Epic buying exclusivity and companies left and right is trying vainly to capture a market share they can keep around, but the trouble is that even if they got say 50 games on there they still are minuscule compared to steam library.
THey were HEAVILY in debt back then, For a few weeks? they had more debt than they were worth.
They got bailed by their insurance/banking and the PS4 since the Bone and WiiU floundered hard. At this point sony the conglomerate survives on Banking, the PS4 and Fate Stay Night, movies are still very hit and miss, TV's camera are mostly dead and computers got spun off a few years ago.

>censors the review system for the remaining publishers
>changes the contracts with publishers so they're not allowed to exploit the 12 vs 30% cuts to lower prices for consumers
>drops the 30% share for the biggest AAA publishers
Heh, they didn't even acknowledge Epic. Based lord Gaben!!!
Why is it always the anime faggots that are the biggest oblivious retards?
Gabriel King
Just get use to it, it like people whining about WoW coming to an end when new MMO came out.
The fact that epic have to buy down a game to sell, show us how fucking stupid they are.
Kevin Gray
...except this time Valve is finally going to be butchered by based Epic. Epic has two things that Valve lacks; video games, and the will to kill.
Hudson Anderson
God I fucking wish they'd just end their service and shut down their servers forever. Can you imagine all those epic fanboys crying in despair when they suddenly realize that their entire steam library was gone aswell? Fucking imbeciles, you are almost as retarded as consolewars spastics. You literally have the option to have both of them running on your PC, but you still decide to fanboy over one or the other. It's time that they both fuck you in the ass with a barbed cock.
Carson Clark
Will to kill itself that is.
Nicholas Howard
>T-t-this time it’s for real though!
Pathetic
I can’t imagine doing what you do, much less doing it for free
Asher Young
Just think about how much money Timmy has to keep spending just so he can stay relevant on the news headlines.
Jacob Gutierrez
I don't have a problem with Valve, but I do think Steam is a huge pile of shit.
All these years later and the interface hasn't been updated or simplified. Finding things is still really awkward, having you navigate through a hundred options to find one thing, and my biggest annoyance: how slow and clunky it is. Also, a lot of developers lose so much money too with the cut Valve keeps.
Steam is such a wasted opportunity. They could have done so much more with their platform.
Eli Perry
>having you navigate through a hundred options to find one thing
I don't get it. Can you walk me through your average user experience?
Nathaniel Robinson
Think about all the EPIC GAMES he could make with that money.
Levi Morris
Yeah, like a new Unreal for example.
Why anyone would support these niggers after they dropped Unreal and UT in favor of milking little kids with fortnite is beyond me.
Joshua Moore
It's past your bed time Timmy
Hudson Young
>censors the review system for the remaining publishers
Review bombing is not anything new and knowing how slow Valve is they've likely been working on the antibomb system for at least a year prior.
>changes the contracts with publishers so they're not allowed to exploit the 12 vs 30% cuts to lower prices for consumers
You talking about the price parity clause? I doubt they ever enforce the damn thing, just ask the bajillion key resellers operating.
>drops the 30% share for the biggest AAA publishers
Announced before Epic even revealed their store. See:
steamcommunity.com
unrealengine.com
It was in reaction to Bethesda and Activision pulling out from Steam, not Epic's cut.
Eli Wilson
Go eat a baguette or something retard
Aaron Mitchell
OHOHOHO HOW WILL OP EVER RECOVER
Jeremiah Watson
there's no point in arguing with that retard, trust me
Isaac Gutierrez
t. salty indie dev
Tyler Cox
If domestic dog simulator dev was able to negotiate a lower than 30% cut by having just one mildly successful game then there's no way AAA publishers ever paid the full cut to begin with.
Austin Richardson
where did you see that? I'm genuinely curious
Liam Hill
He posted here on Yea Forums about his game occasionally and gave out few dozen keys in those threads.
It was years ago and obviously before Valve automated the process so in a way faildevs just ruined it for the indie devs that saw more success.
Kevin Phillips
>Steam is such a wasted opportunity
phahahhahaha
now tell me one platform, that's better/has more features
steam support and download speed is also pretty good. i cant complain
>Also, a lot of developers lose so much money too with the cut Valve keeps.
pfhahaah...yeah...only by releasing crappy games...the good ones will always favor from beeing on steam
you can't claim money by adding shitty 2d indie games there.
No matter how high the cut is...no one wants them!
Ayden Morgan
what exactly are you having trouble finding
Henry Gonzalez
tell me why is hard to find something when you have 40 search bars on everything
Isaiah Morgan
Nintendo owns some of the most popular vidya IPs on the planet though, there's no one who ACTUALLY thinks they're on the brink of bankrupcy, right?
Camden Taylor
How long do you think people can repeat the same bullshit before starting to believe at least some of it?
Dylan Collins
how does it feel to go 2 hours and only getting a single (you) on your bait?
Jason Moore
Valve is The West.
Leo Moore
I hope Epic continues doing this shit, because if anything, steam will help devs out a bit more plus actually start making HL3 and Portal 3, old school style not with todays age of cancer.
Speaking of cancer, if the one in a billion chance happens and steam goes down, thats worse case scenario for the consumer base.
Isaiah Gonzalez
>plus actually start making HL3 and Portal 3
man you people are so naive and retarded
just let go of the idea that valve owes you and you'll be better off
Joshua Walker
nobody will use steam if the new game releases are on epic. facts
Liam Hughes
another fact: people would rather pirate than use epic
Ian Rodriguez
doubt it. the only "bad" thing about it is that it doesn't have a lot of features, steam drones are just have a ridiculous amount of sand in their vaginas
Elijah Myers
yeah, just a few less features, let's ignore the massive security issues
them drones right?
Anthony Brown
name one, i'll wait
James Torres
you can simply search for them yourself, retard
just type epic store security issues on google
