Corporate worship

Epic is blatantly and openly anti-consumer so people siding with steam as at least being more pro-consumer than Epic is.

Theyre anti consumer.

The internet always does what it's told

What do you mean by “anti-consumer”?
How are they anti-consumer compared to Valve?

gabe pls go

What's with Epic and their hatred towards PC players? Just make a console if they want exclusives. Linux support nowhere in sight

No reviews, you can't trust journalists so user reviews are usually better.
No linux support.
Exclusivity deals

Valve doesn't force you to use their platform by ensuring you can't get the game anywhere else.
Valve provides what is widely accepted as the best service and thus holds a massive consumer base without even cutting out their competition.

Fuck Epic and their constant shilling here

Blessed and based posts. No Linux sucks too

Akshully its normal drone behavior. Drones get indoctrinated and hive mind induced by the modern forums and spew that shit out to feel connection with others and themselves.

>no reviews
agreed, this is shit
>linux support
lmao, linux users are massive whiners but never put their money where their mouth
"I don't think it was worthwhile developing for Linux," Brandon Adler, lead producer said in response to questions the team had gathered from Twitter before the show. "They are a very, very small portion of our active user base—I think around one and a half percent of our users were Linux."

lmao, we both know it would literally be impossible for epic to gain any ground against steam by just trying to 'make a better store', exclusivity deals are fine, it's not like you have to pay money to use the epic platform

He means the drones that spam those "reviews", not the company. Every kid with half a brain can tell that Valve is several degrees worse than Epic.

Fuck epic and fuck China.

>you can’t trust professional journalists who trained for their career for years, no, you need to trust us review bombers!
Considering that you’ve review bombed Metro and Rocket League despite being legitimately good games, you’ve proven you crap the bed with your emotion.
As for user reviews and Linux support, are they no promised to come? It’s just a lightweight launcher, it’s not like you need to buy a different hardware just to play Fortnite or Obsidian’s Outerworlds.
And didn’t Steam have a monopoly on PC games for a long time before developers started breaking away one by one to sell their own games on their own launchers because Valve takes an obscene cut from the profits, and now a competition that takes a more affordable cut is around?

Jesus, dude, at least be coherent.

Valve has always been more anti-consumer.

>valve pro-consumer
>had to be dragged to court to allow refunds
Surely you jest?

How many threads are you going to try to pull this shit in? Are you going to cry about how steam is a monopoly next?

Gamers are fucking morons

Fuck Valve, they shat all over us when we asked for Half-Life 3. They're worse than Epic Games could ever be.

Pretty much Epic wouldn't have garnered so much hate if they had and hadn't done several things
Their storefront is barebones to an absurd degree
Taking metro off of steam literally weeks before release after it was already advertised all this time there to make it exclusive.
Taking a 4 year old game off steam just for petty reasons at this point.
Make countries out side the US pay extra for games.
Kissing publishers ass
Its all blatantly anti -consumer so much so that people have only gotten more loyal to valve because of how much they are making themselves look bad

Right because the consumer who isn't allowed a voice venting the only way they can proves you should blindly listen to people who are paid for scores.

Epic nice shill post, bro. You got this premade in your playbook?

The venting would’ve been credible if it’s about the quality of the game, not where it is sold.
Since it’s just different softwares, and one is much lighter than the other, I really don’t see the problem.

epic doesn't even do fucking sales and the games cost the exact same
I'll never pay more than $20 for a video game and right now it seems there's no point in using the Epic store for me

100% of Steam is run by the US. Your point?

You clearly don't study economics

Just as Netflix, Hulu, etc are all grabbing at whatever balls they can for exclusivity, so too will the gaming market. Don't be surprised if Steam starts having Steam exclusives and pressuring third parties to only contract through Steam.

I'm not saying it's better or worse, just different and Steam is lagging behind. Steam was basically the Walmart of video games and look at how retail is dying now too. What does Steam actually offer consumers besides a search engine? Why would you need to have Steam cloud when you could just download games on your own?

Expect in the near future for consoles to be replaced by Nintendo steam, Blizzard steam, etc. Where as Valve themselves do what they always do: nothing

I literally cannot buy games on the Epic store because I'm on Linux. Even games like Transistor that have native Linux support if you buy from GoG or Steam.

Get fucked

Do you honestly believe anyone who thinks this is ridiculous is an Epic shill? That’s extremely childish.
If you want to criticize Epic, make a lengthy post on social media about how badly they treat their employees with crunches, not bitching about having to buy a game from a different store on a circlejerk like this where the only people will hear you are other manchildren.

But wouldn't bootlickers be the ones blindly consuming?

Brand loyalty is a hell of a thing.

did you just link resetera here? holy fucking shit the absolute state of this board

why are devs such cucks

They were worse before true but now not so much, people only see the good of how steam is now because of how bad Epic is currently, Epic is just fucking up that bad.

Some people express their ire regarding how barebones the Epic Games store is, specially when compared to other digital distribution platforms. It's understandable to dislike them due to that because the hindrance in purchasing brought about by lack of features would be annoying to a consumer. I mean, take it to a physical storefront, would you say that you enjoy shopping in a store that doesn't even have shopping baskets? Would you say that said store is consumer friendly when compared to other retail stores that have baskets and carts?

>lootbox pioneer
>third party DRM client pioneer
>online activation pioneer
>blocked refunds until they were about to get fucked by australia

Ironically, the two things you mentioned aren't an issue. All of those games deserved to be banned and "censorship" is needed on a store aimed at fucking children.

I'd rather rummage through reviews made by the game's intended audience than consume the bullshit of paid intellectual prostitutes.

I know right? Just look at all these chinks supporting and defending the dick that rapes them daily!

The information posted in that link is credible and much more concise than what I’ll find here, what’s the problem with that?
And no, I didn’t come from resetera, you people made me know it existed.

Correct, the ones not wanting to settle for a worse option are not the bootlickers. The ones who excuse being treated worse with "lol companies trying to make cash so is ok for them to do this" have black tongues though.

Arrogance. They think they cant be fucked over by anybody, so they bend over to taunt them. Then complain when they do get fucked over

Most of my games are Bethesda games, and the only non-Bethesda game I have on my PC is GTA V.

Dude the whole chink shit is retarded. The people shitting on Steam are... SONY SHITTERS. DINGDINGDING! They do it because Sony went full SJW,

Meanwhile, Epic is actually making video games while Valve isn't.

Wouldnt joining epic imply greater cuckoldry as they dont give a shit about devs at all? I dont remember TOW devs agreeing to epic exclusivity and yet it happened because big brother and publisher said so

Funny thing, its actually bigger than steam, even though its just a barely functioning launcher. Retards like to ignore it because it doesnt fit the narrative

Gamers are more socially conscious than the average person and therefore have great hatred for China.

Epic makes video games and actively provides funding for video games. Valve doesn't. That makes Epic morally superior as far as I am concerned.

What a laughable reply, Valve has not even "responded" to a single thing Epic has done. Tim Sweeney behaves like a crazy ex-girlfriend.

>Benefit of being a big store

Oh yeah, I forgot. You dumbfucks dont care about exclusivity, you just hate steam

Moneyhatting isn't games development funding. The only game they "make" these days is Fortnite.

This. Hell, Sweeney even flat out said "if valve gives devs more money then we'll stop doing exclusives" like the whole thing was an attempt to get their attention.

If anything, Valve lives rent free in Epic's head.

And a ching and chong to you to mister journalist paid to defend epic

It's got its niche, the fact that they go out of their way to make sure their old games at least kind of work is a real advantage over Steam. That's the kind of thing Epic should be doing to compete instead of introducing console war exclusive bullshit.

Steam drones don't have opinions or rational thinking. They just mindlessly defend their jewish masters.

>Hell, Sweeney even flat out said "if valve gives devs more money then we'll stop doing exclusives"
did people actually believe this? they said a few months ago they're going "to scale back" exclusive cancer too. anything tim says is pure lies which is why you can never trust them even by some miracle they do an about face and change their ways.

Epicshills dont have any opinions or thoughts. They just mindlessly defend glorious leader because he said so

VaIvedrones are disgusting troglodytes who should be purged. They're the worst and most abhorrrent creatures in existence.

>“If Steam committed to a permanent 88% revenue share for all developers and publishers without major strings attached,” Sweeney wrote, “Epic would hastily organize a retreat from exclusives (while honoring our partner commitments) and consider putting our own games on Steam.”

No one's stupid to believe it. Hell, I don't believe it that's why I said this whole exclusivity stunt of his is coming off like him trying desperately to get Valve's attention.

okay, now this is epic games

Ebin store is literally worse than Steam in every possible way for the consumer. The only footing it has to stand on is a better split for the developer, but that is quickly eroded when you consider that the same company parading that fact around also participates in the same insane crunch schedules that destroy those devs. On top of all of this they have also directly caused an increase in piracy as all Russians and Brazilians return to pirating their games as they refuse to give them regional pricing. The Ebin store has successfully resurrected problems volvo fixed years ago and has fixed nothing in return. It's existence is a net negative on the entire industry.

All these Valveshills storming these threads really shows that Epic gets to live rent free in Valve's head.

As a consumer they don't give you ANYTHING.
No, not a single thing.
They came onto the market and strongarmed their way into having exclusives using dirty china money, forcing consumers to jump through extra hoops and disturbing the status quo, and we get NOTHING out of it.
So yeah, consumers have a right to be upset, unless you're a publisher there is nothing that Epic has done to benefit you, but they prance in here pretending to have some kind of moral high ground when they're actually just making a pathetic attempt at strongarming the competition by targeting their investors and moneyflow instead of actually trying to be better.

Epic isn't filling a niche or offering a better service, it's a literal parasitic invasive species that's trying to win by sucking the blood of a bigger animal.

Yes.

>you can’t trust professional journalists who trained for their career for years
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What is the biggest war, then? You could mention it without being a memeatic child.

I dislike Valve, but that doesn't stop me from loathing Epic.
Your Evil Valve versus upstanding underdog Epic narrative is still absolutely pathetic though. Especially since this narrative super focuses on nothing but Valve and Epic and completely overshadows or outright ignores all other parties in the field.

Only a shill would push that narrative that hard. I am convinced that even a lot of the threads praising Valve while shitting on Epic, are in fact still made by genuine Epic shills. Since it still supports the Valve versus Epic narrative which is exactly what they want. The more that narrative is adopted, the more Epic wins.

>Buys dev to remove game from the platform it existed and thrived on for the past several years to put it exclusively onto their own undercooked piece of shit later this year
Not even EA did this with Origin or MS with Minecraft. I can't believe I'm saying this but that move makes them unironically worse than EA and Activision.

How do I get paid to shill for epic also how much do i get per post?

Imagine supporting a company as evil, vile and scummy as valve.

Yes, these are all the epic hate threads made by steam crybabies. Drones need to defend their master.

gAYMERS will literally cry about anything that their favourite Youtuber e-celeb cries about.

Linux users can honestly fuck off. When 99% of users are on Windows but the linux faggots cause 50% of the technical problems, it's not worth the trouble.

In what way. Epic has repeatedly shown disdain for users. You don't even get reviews on epic store, because developers don't want dialogue about their games that they can't control (hence no reviews and no forums), and epic is capitulating to them. Review bombing is stupid but using it as an excuse to essentially dismiss consumer voice is telling. Tim Sweeny was condemning PC as not worth the trouble several years ago. Epic is selling their service to devs not consumers. if you actually like PC as a platform epic game store basically throws all it's positives out the window.

Are people really that butthurt about having to open a different launcher? Not even an ironic question here.

Epic expect me to pay more for games as they don't support international payments.

Ah yes Zhang now I see, having my whole PC mined and effectively having more expensive games because epic pushes transaction fees onto me the consumer, along with no sales because sales bad apparently is an equal and just as good service for me.

I guess having to pay a little extra for a game six months early on a different launcher would be troublesome if you're either poor or have to ask mommy.

You do know multiplayer was a thing before Steam, r-right?

Not the user you are replying to but I find it very odd if you go to the marketplace for unreal engine assets that there is a shopping cart but if you go to the store for games there is none. Like... why?

Most PC gamers have a few different launchers as is, simply clicking a different icon isn't why people are pissed. It's because now consumers have no choice of where to buy the games they were looking forward to, games in most of the world became more expensive on it (division and Anno by roughly 10% after the co-exclusive deal as they call it), the fact they don't even have a shopping cart or wishlist function, that there's no cloud saves, the fact that there's no email verification so bots make fake accounts from Thailand in hopes that people will recover the accounts and spend money and then the bot owners recover the account by bamboozling the support system, no user reviews so you have no
idea that games are 5 hour walking Sims for $30 (Close to the Sun, new release today)
I could really go on for ages but surely you get the idea

What's one place that's not a place you mentioned that talks about how close to the sun is a 5 hour walking sim? Legit wondering, I've been interested in how this does as it's the first game to go exclusive that nobody gives a shit about. Only place I saw was twitch, which is how I found out about what it really is due to a lack of user reviews.

You retard.

How come when epic shills talk about Valve taking too large of a share they ignore that discord has the best share for developers? Surely if you cared about devs earning more you would support the discord store instead.

I mean none of that is socially acceptable, but in no shape or form is that illegal. Unless you put real life cp in there, that ain't cool

Selection size is just another bullet point on the list of "features" that EGS lacks. It's hardly the worst part of it, but convenience is something consumers want that EGS does not have.

I hate to break it to you user, but the world doesn't owe you a thing. The launcher may be objectively shit, but gAYMERS are literally moaning over nothing.

If you're such a stickler about security, use a fucking password manager then. The quibbles of these people, and I hope you're not one of them, are inane and without merit.

Even if you're draconian future unfolds as you think it's going to, I'll still be sitting here, laughing at people like you getting butthurt over your favourite launcher being threatened, and I'll still enjoy games as normal. Status quo.

In case you missed my comment in totality, where in the name of fuck am I disagreeing with that? You can utilise two different launchers you know, there isn't anything stopping you from being sensible and having your cake. Convenience is another one of those retardedly inane comments about this stupid "News".

Spyware, no review system, and buying games away from Steam to divert users instead of actually providing a launcher of comparable quality.

I'm not even mad at all. I'm just stating why most people think it's a piece of shit while claiming the free games through the browser in case the store is still alive in a few years. Seen too many digital game stores get shut down to buy anything (Desura, GFWL, Impulse, etc), but it being Epic probably means it will be here to stay in some form.

epic is pro consumer but valve cucks have been under the chains of gabe for so long they cant handle freedom, sad really, bunch of house niggers

A game store, in of itself, has basically no added value to the consumer. Convenience is the only stake we have in this game, and the status quo was convenient.

Epic openly stated they do not care about the customers, only devs. Their policies with which they advertise their stores only matter to devs too, nothing for the customers. Actually, there is only less in the Epic store for the customers.
Combine this with them paying off devs for exclusivity so customers have to use a more shitty store, and you got the recipe to piss people off.

People have already faced various punishments for violating social protocols. The system has been used to already block nine million people with "low scores" from purchasing domestic flights. While still in the preliminary stages, the system has been used to ban people and their children from certain schools, prevent low scorers from renting hotels, using credit cards, and blacklist individuals from being able to procure employment. The system has also been used to rate individuals on their internet habits (excessive online gaming reduces one's score), personal shopping habits, and a variety of other personal and wholly innocuous acts that have no impact on the wider community.

Never even installed the Epic Games store. Steam used to be good back when the sales were actually good and there were flash, community choice, and daily deals. It also used to not have marketplace and level cancer for profiles. Furthermore, the store used to have some actual fucking curation so that there was a good chance of you seeing at least 9 decent games on the new releases list instead of being lucky to find one.

Im talking about Steam years of service badges, retard.
I challenge any of the mentally challenged children defending Valve in this thread to post their years of service badge on their profile because i know for a fact they're probably 5 year or below shitters.

read this >No consumer support, only automatic replies
>Shit tier security, even with 2 factor authentication

and that's just the peak of the iceberg, Epic Games is a terrible company and shouldn't supported by any means

those articles are misleading and you shouldn't accept them at face value. I'm a game dev. The rule of thumb for rolling sales and distribution (downloading,patching,etc.) on your own is an average of 5% of your money lost to those things. An average. That's been almost exactly right for us - many developers roll sales on their own in addition to selling their game on steam just because it's so easy to implement.

Of course there are payment methods that are retardedly expensive and take a 20% cut or whatever. But the vast, vast majority of people use payment processors with tiny fees. So Steam is taking at maximum an average cut of 25% on top of everything they spend.

I say at max because since Valve operates on such a huge scale, they most certainly amortize a shit ton of costs which makes the whole process to them a lot cheaper.

epic is doubly right on the spot because exposing the payment processing fees to users actually points out how absurd some of these payment methods are (cards bought at retailers, etc.). this finally creates some pressure to make them cheaper in general.

On epic you actually pay more, not the same..

i'm tired and meant to say at minimum, obviously.

How do you think Valve got people to use Steam?
It was by shutting down the platform that Counter strike multiplayer ran on and forcing everyone who wanted to play Counter Strike to install Steam.
Next came Half Life 2 which was encrypted on disc and couldn't even be installed without an active internet connection to Steam servers.
Next came 3rd party publisher deals with tons of games that you bought in stores and yet required you to use Steam.

The only reason you are using Steam today is because you were forced to use it to play the games you wanted to play. Anybody who denies that is a massive liar.

You: show me your steam years of service badge.
Me: (wasn't who you were talking to) I don't use steam. I use gog. Therefore I don't have a badge. However, I find it amusing that you're asking people about steam years of service badge, when epic don't even have that badge at all. That's why I asked "do epic have that badge?" Because I already knew the answer.

Asking someone for his years of service badge when your employer don't even have that badge to begin with, is like asking someone to show his driver's license to prove he's been driving for 10 years where yourself don't even have a driver's license at all.

Is it clear enough now, brainlet chink? English ain't that hard..

Nothing has changed yet here are Valve fanboys defending Steam as the good guys while claiming any other launcher is eeeeevil for doing exactly the same thing.

>but in the rest of the world the price actually increased, even on consoles
Yup

my Epic account is one year old and it has been hacked twice

pic related, left is them trying to bypass 2-factor authentication, right is when they finally got access to my account and changed my password, at least they couldn't change my email too so I could recover my account later

Ofc there are some items you can only get in crates like the unusuals iirc, but unusuals are for faggots anyway.

Lol why do you even waste time on this retarded shill he understands you perfectly fine he's just pretending to be retarded because he got btfo since epic is a zoomer store and don't even have years of service

Epic is a lesser evil. Valve is just pure evil incarnate, the ancient evil of PC gaming. They must be destroyed.

Didn't epic buy rocket league and is going to pull it from steam?
Why would they do this and not expect me to hate them?
This limits my options as a gamer. How am I to play with my friends if we're on different platforms?

Because it's EA. And it was really bad when it just launched yet it got pretty stable as of now.
The only reason for me to use origin is to boot up the games I got for cheap when EA did two Origin humblebundles and to occasionally try out variety of games with origin game pass (completed Furi once just for a couple of bucks).

Cool, so root for uplay, GoG, origin, or other non evil stores. I mean you're retarded and objectively wrong, but if you want to fight steam why supporting a literal cancer when there are so many other decent alternatives?

What games tho. The only thing they have done in the last 2 years is Fornite and cut support of older games

being less of a buggy green mess doesn't change the fact it's a 3rd party DRM launcher you need to install to play games.

Uplay, GoG, Origin and the rest don't have a chance to slay Valve. Only Epic has that chance, and that is why we must support Epic.

Of course they hate them, they keep beating the shit out of your economy via pure communism, lmao. Imagine being cucked by commies.

Why don't you post your epic years of service badge?

You can play offline.
You can share your library.
You have guaranteed refunds.

I have heard the phrase "physics advances with each funeral" because old fucks refused to adapt and consider new theories. Didn't realize it applies to willingness to use online video game stores too.

3. IT IS Epic's fault because their 2 factor authentication system doesn't works for shit and it can be easily bypassed

Thank you for proving you're fucking stupid

How come there is yet to be a reason you should use the epic store?

Exclusives on fucking PC.
They are poisoning the fountain we all drink from.

I'm not installing the umpteenth bloat client just to start a fucking game that I have PAID MONEY FOR.
Haven't bought an EA or Ubi PC game since they started with that shit (Uplay and...what was the name for EA's shit again?).

Best would be a DRM-free web store (like GoG), but I guess that's not happening anymore, since that would lessen the control over the consumer.

I dont have a Epic account just like you dont have a Steam account :^)

>You can play offline.
you can not get into offline mode without being online first. That what makes it DRM. No install without Steam server autorisation.
>You can share your library.
I could do anything I want with physical copies before Steam destroyed consumer rights on PC.
>You have guaranteed refunds.
2 measly hours. Wow. No thanks I'd rather buy a cheaper key from another website without the refund option.

Since your samefagging I'll ask the other you too:
>Why don't you post your epic years of service badge?

I think Valve is greedy but Steam is overall the best platform for PC gaming.

Only correct answer.
Dropped battlefield series as soon as it became origin exclusive.

You are so angry about launchers yet you installed Steam.
Please explain that.

None of your accounts have inherent value, your Epic account does for the chance that it'll have Fortnite cosmetics/battle passes that the script kiddie can sell on a account selling site
>IT IS Epic's fault because their 2 factor authentication system doesn't works for shit and it can be easily bypassed
You refused to change your password for fucking weeks, its nobodys fault but your own

Why didn't you drop Counter Strike when it became Steam exclusive?

Imagine being a multibillion dollar company who has fans who worship its CEO as some jolly santa figure.

>Why Valve takes 30% everywhere I do not know
What is he saying here? He admits they have to add processing fees to afford their business practices but then points out Valve's 30% and says why he doesn't know?

>2 measly hours
For automatic refunds.
I got refunded games with 10 hours on them. They were 4X games, so its a reasonable amount of playtime for an initial evaluation.

Then it's even more concerning that people are getting their accounts stolen if there was no breach.

>just got back
>just got into the convo
take your pick. you want specifics? ill just explain everything i did with my day so far too. this thread is clearly bad for your mental state, spaztic

I dont have an Epic account, why are you dodging the Steam badge account question?

You sound like an absolute faggot.

Because fuck them for wanting me to installer another gay ass launcher.

I refuse to buy anything that requires Uplay or Origin as well. And I also resented when Steam forced me to use a launcher, but they were the first.

GoG is the only acceptable one because you are free to not use it and still play the games.

Ok so let's talk theoretically - can you name a year in which you could have installed epic to get such a badge?

I never played CS:GO tho.

>scammed keys
Legit key sellers get keys directly from publishers. Publishers put the cheap keys on sites like wingamestore, Gamesplanet or Gamersgate while leaving the game full price on Steam because they know the average Steam user is too dumb to compare prices

>you can’t trust professional journalists who trained for their career for years

Ah yes, who can forget quality articles like "the “gamer” kind is sexist; racist; homophobic; reactionary; unable to spell; almost exclusively male; hasn’t read a book since See Spot Run; probably dramatically under-equipped in the genital department; incapable of basic self-care like hygiene, cooking and housework; and covered in Cheeto dust."

Now THAT is professional journalism. Source is VG247 by the way.

Nobody is getting their accounts stolen, and it has nothing to do with Epic
They generate combo lists from any database breach on any site, because idiots use the same email and password on everything
Your free to check if your own data is out there sec.hpi.de/ilc/

even then you're using steam so what's your point?
also valve allows for those cheaper legit keys as well

Literally the first thing I said was that I use gog, and asked you if epic got such a badge. Since the you've been dodging, telling me that you don't have epic despite my point being that epic don't even have this badge at all
Answer this

>featuring offensive events should be illegal

I dont have an Epic account so there wouldnt be a year?

EPIC MEGASHIT did the following:
>invented and popularized the third-person cover shooter with chest-high walls
>developed and popularized unreal engine 3 and 4, resulting in hundreds of games that run and feel like shit
>wrote a very bloated, very slow launcher
>cancelled UT4

Why should Valve take 30% of every purchase when only a small number of 3rd world payment methods actually warrant that cut?
Effectively Valve makes first worlders who use ~2% transaction cost payment methods subsidize the 3rd worlders who use payment mehods that are 5 times as expensive.

>there are no stolen accounts and even if there was it's not Epic's faul-

ohnononono

I changed my password, the emails stopped for a while but returned some days later, I did it twice and stopped caring after that, I don't even play fortnite so fuck it

I'm not even mad that my account got hacked, I'm mad that Epic is trying to compete with Steam with such a terrible account security and non-existent consumer support

And 2-factor authentication exist for a reason, it's not my fault that it doesn't works correctly

they shouldn't be able to access my account without accessing my email account first, but somehow they still could, who knows how but I can assume it was because of Epic's security being handled by an Indian on wheelchair

>still dodging the question
There's literally no year in human history in which you could get that badge because it doesn't exist
Answer this yes or no question: does epic have a years of service or equivalent badge? Reply with just yes or no.

because it's cheaper. i.e. PRO CONSUMER

YEAH BUT VALVE

Why should you care when you're not a developer?

>A Fortnite security bug let attackers access user accounts after they clicked a suspicious link that was sent to them
>Database breach
Better luck next time faggot

and valve allows that. also you're still using steam for that. so your point?

You're a fucking idiot.
Microsoft has been trying to break steam for a long time now.
Microsoft doesn't like any progress that isn't downloaded through it's app store.
Microsoft is going to push more and more for Microsoft signed apps so they can sell your meta data.
If Linux didn't exist as an option they're would be no where for gamers to flee to when Microsoft becomes insufferable.

Why should you care about 3rd world shitholer who can't into credit card or paypal if you aren't a 3rd world shitholer?

>Nobody is getting their accounts stolen, and it has nothing to do with Epic
this is what you said. don't backpedal with some breach shit

The first thing you said was your clearly braindamaged post about what i can only assume is "HURR WHY DONT EPIC HAVE BADGE"
The second thing you said was dodging the original question talking about how you dont have a Steam account, you only use GoG
Since you're clearly illiterate and barely have a grasp on English, its clear you've misread posts at least 10 times now and you've gotten to this clearly delusional state that you think i claimed Epic had some sort of Years Of Service badge?

I honestly cannot imagine how mentally fucked you are.

I don't, but I'm also not a developer nor a publisher so I don't give a shit about the 30% cut.

It's mutual.

Yes, retarded children clicking suspicious links has absolutely nothing to do with Epic you dumb faggot.

You're a fucking idiot. Even Apple doesn't try to break Steam. It happily coexists with the Apple App Store on Macs.
Microsoft will never disallow 3rd party software distribution on Windows.

>1%

Are you implying linux users are the muslims of os?
Also mac is worse desu.

But not for lack of trying. Steam link was removed from the Apple app store supposedly because it allows for third party app purchases.
