Now they can have no games together

Epic investing into shutting down Linux development makes a lot of sense now.

Steam is dead, bury it.

eh i already knew from day 1

Epic wants tips from the master on how to be cancerous.

>chinko was btfo in previous ebin thread
>creates another thread
Works like a fucking clock.

lol, I called this when Tim was sabotaging Linux gaming.
MS also wants Steam gone so it makes sense to the chink and the pajeet to team up.

It's happening. All the big jews are coming together to destroy Steam. We'll all be sorry when the fat man is gone, the age of DRM and microtransactions is only about to start.

No cost too great.

I won't mind being a steam shill if they used their 30% to actually make games and get off their lazy ass.

I honestly don't give a shit about valve anymore. The artifact blunder with only 200 players is a nice friendly reminder how retarded of a company they are now. I hope they learn from this and become a better company. They lost a loyal fan such as myself years ago due to their incompetent and lazy nature.

Don't worry I'm used to my childhood heroes dying.
First was sonic
Then it was blizzard
Then it was steam
Then it was star wars

Just fucking murder everything I once loved already and get done with it.

Hold on I'll save your response steam shills. "Winnie the pooh Tietanam square INSECT, CHINK"

Did I miss anything you 70 IQ faggots love to spam?

>if they used their 30% to actually make games and get off their lazy ass
Ah, so you're not chinko. You're just another one bitter cuck who can't move on from any of Valve's vidya series, eh?

>hurr durr artifact
Grow up.

You do realise they invest in games for linux and VR. They are literally the only company who is willing to support games on linux. You are a bitter cuckboy who can't seem to understand that the future of gaming is more than just releasing new games. Valve is trying to move away from windows and give us a free platform meanwhile you bitch and moan about muh games. Kill yourself you insufferable faggot.

>Valve started DRM

Before Valve you had actual rootkit DRM

GABE NEWELL, THE KING OF THE PIRATES ATTAINED EVERY VIDYA THAT THE INTERNET HAD TO OFFER - SMILING, EVEN AS STEAM WAS STOOD ON THE SCAFFOLD. HE ISSUED A CHALLENGE TO THE INTERNET.
"YOU WANT FREE VIDYA? YOU CAN HAVE IT, I LEFT EVERY VIDEOGAME GATHERED TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE. NOW YOU JUST HAVE TO FIND IT!"

Tim Sweeney is such an utter piece of shit it wouldn't surprise me if he tried to cut a deal with Microsoft to make Epic Games their "Games for Windows Live" service and shook hands, both parties intent on killing Steam/Linux. The funny thing being, of course, he's too sociopathic to recognize other people see what a slimy fuckoff he is

So they're like Google who makes 85% of their money from ads. Their core business is cancer but they support some nice little open projects and that is reason enough to let them do their thing.

Yep. Soon Win 10 will no longer allow Steam.
Microsoft has wanted Valve gone for ages, that's why Valve has been developing Linux stuff.

He doesnt know

Yet another baseless pointless article by the journalism machine.

ahahahahaha like that stopped every other game

Shiki 100 is based and redpilled.

Ya the future of gaming is not on a 1000 dollar VR device. It's in a much cheaper Facebook version faggot.

Their core business is supporting you, the customer, you retarded cunt. Their core bussiness is investing in the future to support games on a free platform. Unlike other companies such as google who wants to take choice and support for the customer away from you. You hate them because you can't see that out of every single jew company who only cares about money, vavle is the only one who invests in the future and in the customer.

>supporting jewberg
>vr that spies on you
>vr with worse quality
Oh ye, I like that cheap shit as well fellow npc.

The device itself isn't 1000 dollars. The headset is 500 dollars and it's beyond what an occulus can supply you with. Regardless, they are still investing in the future, and not just with VR.

Not even close.
Is that what zoomers actually believe?

What's wrong with UE4?

Are every other company greedy jews as well?

Where did the mean old steam touch you? Tell me what they did to you?

If all Tim Sweeney wants is Steam to lower their cut why doesn't he go to all the other storefronts first.
Or why doesn't he actually offer lower prices on games first? So far this muh 30% bullshit has not benefited anyone but big publishers.

Until I see something out of Sweeney's 12% bullshit I'm just going to say fuck his stupid meme and fuck you for supporting it.

I doubt real zoomers care about drm at all, it's just some retard spouting nonsense

Artifact doesn't have anything to do with Steam though, it being successful would definitely have an impact but its failure did absolutely nothing.

>NTR BAD
>Traps are not gay
But NTR is bad and traps aren’t gay, normalfag.

You can copy paste it and Google and this thread is the only fucking place that comes up brainlette shit

It's the other way around actually.

How does it feel being an npc? Do you have a soul?

>unironically thinking traps aren't gay
Wow

Just go back to reedit already. It's so obvious your shill it hurts. No one gives you serious replies because you act like a fucking faggot.

Gays don’t like traps, ergo traps aren’t gay.
Cheaters should be killed.

>liking dicks isn't gay

It’s “the dick makes it better”, newfag. Not “I like dicks”.

>actually thinking traps aren't gay

Ahahahahahaha Ahahahaha Ahahahahahaha Ahahahaha OH GOD!

But they do use that 30% on some very beneficial stuff for us, the costumers. We don't have to pay the transaction cost when we buy games unlike epic and the reason for constant sales from steam is also because of that 30%. Not to mention some other nice stuff like Linux support and that new multiplayer network api.

oh no no no no

...
You are literally attracted to a dick. The
At is the gayest shit you can be.

Not an argument.

If the at was true I’d like gay porn, but I do not.

Does your mom know your gay?

It's because Epic marketing is a large smokescreen of disinformation and trying to stay relevant. They're attempting to get publicity to up their userbase, whether this is so they can be a successful digital storefront in the future or to mercilessly mine and sell data is up for debate.
Their best bet to do this is to continuously bait Valve into responding, buying up exclusives by bankrolling titles or by engaging with other high profile businesses to continue to create things that journalists can be paid to write about.

Valve has always been retarded and at times gives the feeling that they're running their huge storefront the same way you'd run a small informal business. That Valve is a company that I fully expect to push out something big on a friday with nobody actually overseeing the potential blunder all weekend and only 3rd party PR damage control is pretty representative of what I think of them.
I still wouldn't use Epic and that should be pretty representative of what I think of them as well.

I would prefer a thorn that's not lodged firmly in my side as well.

They're doing it in the worst way.

They offer cheaper versions as well that are more competitive and this is coming from an Oculus user. Steam also doesn't engage in the retarded VR exclusivity nonsense nearly as much as Faceberg.

No, because I’m not gay

>finds something more attractive because it has a penis
>not gay

This level of denial is amusing.

see and

Money to chinks, bad optimization and is mostly just a gateway for lazy scammers to make quick asset-flips.

people who like traps are gay, ergo gays do like traps, ergo traps are gay

>bribing M$$$
He can try but unless he offers them his own company they just laugh him out of the door.

>people who like traps are gay
That’s not how logic works. Gays don’t like traps. They like the male form.

LOL no. About 90% of gays try to look and sound feminine as hell dude. You are a faggot. You idea of gay comes from the 1980s thinking it's big buff burly men.

>try to look and sound feminine as hell
And fail
Which is why they’re not “traps”

I like women
Therefore I’m not gay

It’s not gay if it looks like a girl

This is what I figured from the start. Epic never planned to win in any kind of fair competition with Valve. They muddied the waters, took games away from players on Steam, with the end goal being to use those captive games to negotiate better terms of access to Microsoft's closed platform for Tencent.

I agree, the other day I was crying so hard I punched the wall so hard my hand bled when I saw all those games at good prices. I went on GOG afterwards and saw that Borderlands was $90 so I felt better after that. seriously, fuck Steams good service, they are so fucking greedy to dare charge less than $40 for games when I can get them for $80 on Epic instead.

Cool. Traps aren't women, back to resetera

But they aren’t gay

Why the fuck would Steam's cut ever matter to consumers?

>man who fucks a man
>not gay

Epic purchased psyonix and will pull rocket league out of steam.

Epic not only is getting exclusives hard and new releases but also in the future will literally pull existing games away from steam.

traps have been loved on Yea Forums for longer than you’ve been alive zoomer

how come you can't talk about epic games without turning the discussion into a /pol/ thread?

have kids

I don't think anyone wants to argue this anymore. Traps are gay. There is no argument you can come up with. You find a "female looking make" is more attracted because they have a penis. You think said penis makes them more attractive. Liking penis is the definition of gay. If I started to jack off to penis that would be really gay.

Traps are gay. There is nothing wrong being gay. What I can't stand however is mental gymnastics retards that can't accept they are gay. IT'S GAY.

>loved
I wouldn't go that far

Yes, by gays. What's your point?

Too much hassle. I'd rather just keep having sex without the kids thanks.

Have YOU ever actually had sex? It's terrible, they want to stick around afterwards and cuddle and the bed is too hot and also sweaty and the combined body heat is too much and the bed gets overheated and they sort of think they're you're friend now but they're not your friend. The second after you cum I'm just disgusted by them anyways but they don't want to be alone because they're needy or some other stupid made up feeling so I have to take them out for some breakfast and buy them a fucking omelet that we both know she's not going to finish and then when its over you have to get her number and promise you'll call her but we both know you're not going to call her. Why would you? You already got what you wanted out of her and the sex was mediocre at best and you wasted one of the two days a week you have free of being a wagecuck, you took your valuable free time and you fucking wasted it on some average broad when you could have paid for a hooker and had her get up and leave so I could go back to playing video games.

The only reason to have sex, and I mean LITERALLY THE ONLY REASON, is that fucking without a condom on feels pretty great. Nothing else about sex is even remotely enjoyable, not the stupid foreplay, not the cuddling, I don't even particularly enjoy getting my dick sucked anymore. I'd rather eat a burrito and watch American Dad and be left the fuck alone. No, I'm not going to marry you. No, you're not going to trick me into getting you pregnant(I've had a few women really try hard with that one), and no, you're not coming to live with me in my big empty house.

For one thing, it's my fucking house. For another thing, I like it big and empty, and lastly you're a fucking bore. Women are for the most part IMMENSELY boring. No, I'm not interested in hearing about your stupid day. No, I don't care what Sarah the intern said about your hair. No, I don't FUCKING CARE ABOUT HOW YOU'RE FEELING TODAY

NOT. FUCKING. WORTH. IT.

And that's a good thing

I don't, i'd prefer if everyone would boycott all non-indie games, however there is something else to consider, when the big jews take over then the entire game industry will follow suit.

Back in the mass-effect 1 and dragon age origins days on Yea Forums, women would post and give their angle on charachter interactions etc. It was ok if it was releveant. Like how it is on /tg/ today. Attention seeking "gamer girls" were shat on though. During gamer gate a lot of the women left, or they will never bring up they are a women due to the flak.

I love the primitive mob mentality of people. Anyone choosing to take a side is no better than a fear mongering peasant choosing a side to find connection and a villain to point fingers at. And of course majority of these people are dumb kids especially the steam shills. As I don't honestly believe epic shills exist or even come here. They are just people and want to push the buttons of these kids. It really is basic human nature and instinct to form a mob mentality and choose a side when a mature individual will simply see its just two fucking companies competing.

Blah blah Winnie the pooh, Tietanam square, insect, chink blah blah go ahead kiddies get it out. Gabe might reward you with an artifact card.

Steam doesn't have a monopoly.

Because it allows more creative freedom in terms of accessibility. Anyone can use it. Chink shareholders/chink goverment want highest amount of control, meaning you have to get their products. Microsoft probably feel the same way.

But what if Linus had allgames

He says that but then he just slags off Gaben. He's either a western "social media influencer" or some poor guy in a chinese or indian click farm.

Real talk
Do you morons unironically think epic pays people to fucking talk shit about steam... On fucking Yea Forums? A website that chinks probably have blocked. A website labeled as a racist right wing group by the media? A website with less traffic than reddit?

Real talk for one moment. I want to know if you guys really are retards.

Wow, it's almost as if Microsoft aren't scummy and shady assholes in the same way Valve is. It's almost as if Valve is morally worse than Microsoft. Who would have thought that Epic would prefer Microsoft to Valve because Microsoft are actually based and cool? Unbelievable.

High level bait.
Only normies use "Real talk". We can tell when you fuckers are shilling. I know your chink masters don't give a shit but for any "western influencer" this is just putting me off the epic brand.

>Do you morons unironically think epic pays people to fucking talk shit about steam... On fucking Yea Forums?
Yes. They unironically do.

It's not over yet. One of the reasons this board has an ingrained hate of Bioware is during Dragon age 2 fiasco, they flooded the board with paid shills to aggressively harass anyone with critiques of the game. This was counterproductive as it made Yea Forums hate bioware and Ea even more. Meaning less sales. Epics stupid shilling is going to hurt them in the long run as people will have negative experiences with the brand.

If steam can

I love the way everyone is suddenly finding out how cancerous Sony are and are partnering up to eradicate this stain from the industry. 10 years ago you would have never expected Microsoft and Nintendo to work together and share cross-play services and even games. All thanks to Sony being the absolute worst company to ever exist within this industry. You better pray cloud gaming cancer doesn't take off but if it does, Sony are 100% to blame for starting this cancerous service.

Never gonna happen. Everyone and their mother hates Valve's guts for abandoning Half-Life and Team Fortress 2. They're never going to have a good public image.

It's harder to pirate games that have pieces cut out to run on company servers, most of those games never get emulators because it's too hard or nobody cares enough. Streaming only games are coming soon too, you aren't getting those ever.

True, but the way Epic is acting is really pissing people off. Valve is looking a lot better. Oh by the way any western social media influencer reading this shit, I'm not buying epic games because of your fucking shit. Enjoy your chink money though.

there are many Linuxfags working very hard to make it happen. A lot of work was done even before Valve came and made the big push, but ever since 2013 things are developing insanely fast (looks like exponential growth to me).
And since community is very open, every user could contribute towards making "allgames" happen even faster.
All the Linux threads that have been happening recently might actually convince someone to look at the bigger picture. (full disclosure, I was OP in just some of those threads)

So yes, Linux is on a good way of getting allgames, but how fast will that happen depends on how many people are willing to help make it happen.

Every UE3 and UE4 game is absolute dog shit.
Terrible optimization. Memory leak issues are common. They're easy to make aimbots and other hacks for. Shitty asset flips. Etc.
It's maddening how bad these games are.
It's maddening how games with a good concept and a good core design philosophy can be ruined because they used unreal engine.
Fucking unity shovelware is often better optimized than UE games.

>free to play is bad
Damn.

It's genuinely insane how angry games media has been with valve now for the past two years or so.
Ever since valve stated they wouldn't curate content and remove (((offensive))) content from their store, games journalism has treated valve like enemy number 1.

LOL

Nobody actually likes the epic game store including the people who put their games exclusively on it. They just want the big grant and get the fuck out of there asap.

retard

The odd thing is that in theory the multiplayer source code Valve provided them is open source and somehow doesn't requires Steam, yet the DRM-free version lacks multiplayer features for some reason. Crazy isn't? It's like Valve support actually hurt the competition.

Steam hasn't even acknowledge nor given a fuck about pencil dick sweeney and Da EpIc StOrE.
The only group affected by epics bullshit is the consumer. There's no excuse for exclusivity on the same platform unless you're the developer and publisher of your game and you choose to only sell on your store, i.e ubisoft, The only people affected by this are the consumer, not the multi-million dollar publisher signing up with Epic to get more than they can chew. I'm so lucky I can easily live without new games. I paid full price for BF3 when it came out and since then I've vouched to never ever buy a new game again, and never pay more than $20 for a new game. "Gamers" just need a fucking spine and stop enabling all these shitty tactics. Crates, loot boxes, p2w, DLC that should've been included, the list goes on. And it's all successful and makes them put out more. It's hard to have a spine when most of you fatfucks don't even earn your own money.

Peenus Sweenus can't talk shit about consoles, he's too reliant on them for fortnite sales.

I'm blackpilled at this point.

yikes looks like you are dumb as fuck

It's clearly more complex than that. That said, I still hate it because it meant that any non-Steam version will not have multiplayer.

>in theory the multiplayer source code Valve provided them is open source and somehow doesn't requires Steam
So you don't have any proof of this?

>anti epic == pro steam
Are you a chink or just dumb enough to fall for the epic vs steam meme they are pushing?

how is it odd? the fuck

Valve didn't invent MTX you dumbfuck, they just experimented with it and actually compensated content creators. All those niggers that make TF2/CSGO skins make money from that shit, and not a pittance either.

Paid mods makes some semblance of sense. Mod teams, especially TC teams have to spend countless hours wrenching away at code, models, textures, mechanics, debugging and so on. Offering compensation to them means they could presumably spend more time making them, if not full time. I wasn't around for it so I don't know how it was implemented though.

>artifact was a money grab
Wow, good point, it's not like Steam prints fucking money all day every day and has for a decade and a half. Surely Valve is so hurt they had to push a game heavily reliant on MTX.

Frontend is fine if your IQ is above 30. Developers and publishers don't know how to tag their games though, but that's their own fault.

And yet they're the most pro-consumer choice there is.
Strange huh.

About what? That code not requiring Steam?

Yes, or the code being open source.

Really, steam's current approach of ignoring that epic store even exists is effective enough. Watching tim seethe so hard over it while crying about steam nonstop for months is hilarious

>The main interface class is named SteamNetworkingSockets, and many files have "steam" in their name. But Steam is not needed. If you don't make games or aren't on Steam, feel free to use this code for whatever purpose you want.

>Surely Valve is so hurt they had to push a game heavily reliant on MTX.
They didn't HAVE to do it, Gabe saw how much money Hearthstone makes and decided he wanted a TCG that was traded exclusively through Steam so he could skim off the top of every card sale.

That how despite the code in theory doesn't requires Steam, any version of the competition won't have multiplayer.

And literally the next line
> On Steam, you will link against the Steamworks version, and you can get the additional features there (access to the relay network).
The features they need for the online party mode are exclusive to the steamworks version, which is why the online party mode is absent from the GoG version of the game.

Wow it's like when a company does features they want to benefit from it somehow.
Who knew?

It's funny because just a couple years ago Seeney was totally up in arms against Microsoft's agressive attempt to control the PC Gaming market. He was in full-on warrior mode talking about anti monopolies and the dangers it presents to the market.

Now today he has become that exact same thing after Microsoft's attempt failed. Complete and utter hypocrisy.

The point is that Valve hurts competition.

Valve doesn't bribe devs to release exclusively on Steam.

Valve is the originator. Naturally they're larger than everyone else and have the most experience. How is that hurting competition? They can be beaten at their own game by doing what they do even better than them but no one is willing to do that.

Epic is resorting to monopolizing game sales by buying out developers. THAT is hurting competition.

>developing features for your products is hurting the competition
I... what? Like for real, what

By providing better services. How awful.

>Then it was star wars

You lost me there. Can't take you seriously anymore

>Valve hurts competition
>competition appears
>prices are the same
>less features

Why do you care about competition? Are you a chink or a consumer?

I kinda agree that valve is just a bunch of lazy fucks but anyone that uses the "muh childhood is dead" thing is retarded so that means I must defend steam now?

Because competition is DRM-free.
>inb4 online multiplayer and DRM-free are not compatible
There are dozens of games with online DRM-free MP.

Yeah, steam does not have to buy anyone since they were pretty much the only option other than getting your own store for years now. Inb4 gog, dead shit

>Inb4 gog, dead shit
And that very example proves it.

So is steam. You can run you games without steam unless it uses Steamworks which is up to the devs/publishers.

Us too. At this point AAA companies are basically God and will never die ever again. Everything will remain terrible and there is literally nothing we can do to stop it. It's over, we fucking surrender.
