$10 off everything!

Do you really think that there will be more than one game that you would want to buy? Which you don't have yet on Steam?

Why not buy from key sites for 80% off?

thanks sweeny for $60 off of everything on epic store
thanks tpb for the referal link

sales usually mean it can't hold up on its own user
if the sale entices you then the game has failed, that's why sales exist

>$10 off a bunch of indieshit and a handful of mediocre games
Wow what a great sale. I can't wait to read the reviews they have on their epic store and ask their epic game forums what the games are like.

I thought steam was the devil for offering sales, since they signified a lack of confidence in a game's sales.

Whatever happened to that?

They do

because Steam isn't financed by V-bucks and Yuan

give me a purse owner please

lots of people buy that shit

you can ask for a refund if the game get's a discount soon after you bought it at a higher price

Has Steam ever put a game on sale during the preorder?

Epic is getting desperate due to all the bad PR.

Is there a single person who doesn't own World of Goo yet?

So they are doing the same thing EA did with free games on Origin. Did not work out either.
They are not liberal enough and lack features.
And they also steal my data.
Steam allows Developer to sell their stuff on keystores like Humble or Fanatical(bought HITMAN Goty there for like 10 € yesterday). Steam is way more customer oriented and this is why they are so successful. Gog is also very nice.

They're probabily going to use E3 to boost their exclusives but as long as they're simply timed exclusives all that's going to do is pissing off the audience

pretty sure Tencent mandates they only make free2play games so the only way they have to get new single player games is with the exclusivity deals

thats technically more risky and more time consuming, which is not what the epic store stands for. all of the moves made by epic so far is to get the most in the least amount of time. tim clearly doesnt want to think about his company in the long term. im thinking he wants to sell it after it gets a sizable market share.

You want know why they sell games in keystores? It's what marketing people call price discrimination. It's a strategy to get the maximum amount of revenue out of people by ideally making each individual customer pay the maximum amount he is willing to pay.
Steam users pay more. Poor people who actually check other websites get a slight discount. It's the same as selling a basic version of the game for $60 a deluxe version with minor cosmetic tweaks for $80. Same product - Different price.
It's not "pro-consumer"

>steam users pay more
Are you sure? Thanks to steam, I've never paid more than 20 bucks for a game, and infact anything over 15 dollars was a really long RPG.

Damnit

No, because that's fucking stupid. There are games that have a discount for pre-ordering it, but that's the publisher/developer doing it, not Steam deciding this game that isn't theirs and isn't even out yet should be on sale. Steam doesn't even pick how high the discount is anymore becauase devs and publishers were complaning some of them were too high, which is why certain companies don't make their games go over 75%, or even 50%, off ever nowdays.

If anything this just shows how utterly incompetent Epic is at managing a store that they put on sale a game that's not out. Either that, or the publishers and/or Epic are legit desperate that their pre-order sales aren't as high as they wished, so they put it on sale to boost some numbers.

Yeah sure. A discount problem.

ROLLLING

Every bank, credit card and even paypal have transaction fees associated with them. These are usually paid for by the seller but Epic put the fees on customers because the 12% cut is too low for Epic to pay for them. It's why despite developers getting a larger cut, games aren't even cheaper (and can even be more expensive) on Epics store.

>Allowing consumers to buy your product at the price they deem acceptable is not pro-consumer
It is the LITERAL definition of pro-consumer

If you checked a website like isthereanydeal you would have paid less or gotten the same deal earlier. Publishers know Steam audience is dumb and pays more so the good discounts go on keysites first.

>yfw it was all a ruse to get people to use Uplay instead of other stores

Not where I lie, loads of these keystores don't have regional pricing, so the games end up being more expensive, just like how Epic doesn't support my currency and the games end up being neraly twice as expensive, or even more, than their Steam or GOG counterparts.

Still I'm gonna have to pass on this, as much as I like the prices epic is going about their push into digital distribution all wrong, talking down to customers, buying up exclusives, pushing back the roadmap for their client/store, there's so much they could have done right to compete with steam but they chose to do a lot of things really wrong.

Also if anyone is curious BL3 is $35 for me with the sale, the regional pricing is all over the place, some games like ubisoft games don't get any regional pricing at all so they're a full $60. This is the only thing epic does better than steam in my situation.

Because they don't do sales on games still in the preorder phase unless it's strictly a preorder discount, and those are sales put on the game from the start, not flash sales like this. This move won't be popular with these devs and publishers, honestly, giving back money from sales and all, unless the difference is explicitly coming from Epic's own pocket rather than the publishers/devs. This is good for the consumer, don't get me wrong, but I sincerely doubt this will be viable no matter how you slice it, either for the devs/publishers or Epic.

>How do I get $10 off games in the Epic Games store?
You don’t have to do anything. During the sale, all games priced $14.99 and above are an additional $10 off, courtesy of Epic.

>I pre-purchased a game before the start of the Epic Mega Sale and that game hasn’t launched yet. Should I cancel my pre-purchase and then buy it again to take advantage of the $10 discount?
No, you don’t have to! Every player who pre-purchased an unreleased game in the Epic Games store prior to May 16th, 2019 for $14.99 and above will receive a $10 refund! You will receive your $10 refund automatically to the payment method you used in the next 7-12 days.

>What if I bought a game just before the Epic Mega Sale?
For all game purchases between May 2nd, 2019 and May 15th, 2019 we will refund you the difference in price between what you paid and what you would have paid during the Epic Mega Sale (inclusive of the $10 off from Epic). You will receive your refund automatically to the payment method you used in the next 7-12 days.

Go fuck yourself Steam for being anti consumer and don't refund the money you would have saved if you have just waited one day longer.

Instead of blaming Steam for being a monopoly and forcing other companies to buy exclusives so their store will be used, Steamcucks think it's ok to be an anti consumer monopoly like Steam and force smaller stores to never grow (name me one game you have bought outside of Steam... I wait. Oh right, you can't, because Steam had the monopoly on games, except maybe Overwatch or other AAA games, but that's it)

Can you imagine being still being a steam tranny and not joining the 40% in 2019?

No? you can have all of the sales you want
people are just pointing out how much of a hypocrite Tim is, but that's nothing new really, we've known this for 6 months now
also Epic's library is laughable, and the only game that's worth its discount is Bloodlines 2 and a steam key can already be found for $53 so not much of a difference

This is the kind of competition everyone wanted, Deals, Bundles, trials things that Steam doesn't do but wish it did.

What's the problem with this? You're getting a pre-sale sale. That's pretty good for gamers.

seeYou don't need to be a steam drone to see manipulative BS like this.

>early access
>updates cost money
What the fuck.

All of the EGS hatred only comes from trannies because Epic wouldn’t play ball with their axe-wound delusions

I was all for competition
Then Tim Sweeney decided he needed to be the savior if gaming and go full scumbag tactics. Because you know what an exclusivity deal on a title is?

A monopoly.

Until now Tim Sweeney had stated he was against ever doing sales like Steam did, so this is a kickback against him changing his tune again
Just like him going from being critical of Microsoft to killing off Linux support through the deals he makes and sucking their dick

US price is $7 because US price meets the sale price which would cause them to discount 10 shekels. Odd how the europe side got £2-3 quid off to JUST under the 10bucks off minimum, huh?

Geez the amount of dog eater shilling got a sudden increase itt.

Here. I would say half and half. You both have the Valvebots sucking Gabens cock all day long. And then you have the people who don't like chink company doing shady shit while stealing your personal info.

I hope your email is secured atleast.

Have You literally been under a fucking rock if you dont know why people hate epic? Seriously where the fuck where you for several months?

>in the near future you will have to pay for fucking updates for a game
>just like how zoomers got used to microtransations and pre-orders this will become a common thing
thanks China

When will steam trannies stop seething at the idea of competition?

If only they were this dumb
I fear they might announce more devs/studio acquisitions, like MS during the E3 2018

This is one of the best sales we've had in years you cucks.
Steam sales haven't been good for a long time and the upcoming summer sale will further drive home the point just how much better Epic is going to be.

Keep fucking coping.

keep shilling

In all honesty this VTMB2 price is sexy as fuck, but i don't want to install new laucnher just for one game.

Bloodborne being EGS exclusive would be my wet dream for me

Do you even get paid

Think console wars, PC users are so attached to Steam that they are just mad when they see Steam.
Basically Nintendo Is Steam and Playstation is Epic when they first entered console race.

Okay thanks, so basically Steam with a modern, Chinese, twist.

I've been seeing these threads as console war threads. I don't like Steam either and I assume I wouldn't like Epic so I've been avoiding them because I really couldn't care less since I pirate everything or support indies through methods besides Steam. I've seen the threads just haven't gone into them.

Bad business practice plus an underwhelming client.
EGS launched without even having a search function, right now the store has no tags and no sorting either. Imagine using amazon or some other only store with no tags or sorting.
On top of all this epic's employees seem to think they can 'win' a store war by paying for exclusives instead of providing a good service which is a huge red flag, their goal isn't to provide you a good service, it's to win a dick waving contest.

Imagine settling for $10 when Tim is showing his hand again and showing he's willing to start paying you to use his store
Give me $25 back on my purchases and maybe I'll consider it, Sweeney

$10

I get paid in enlightening the masses.

So Steam has the high quality stuff while Epic has all the zoomer trash?

The complaint is that the price was originally 17 dollars
Read more than 15 dollars which means the "15 or more gets 10 dollars off!" deal should apply
Don't want to be consumer friendly so drop the price to 14.99 before the sale so you can claim it's not above 15, then give it a 10% discount and call it a day

What a great and totally not scummy practice praise epic fuck valve and gabencocksuckers

the shilling online is where all the money is going. i've never seen 'people' shit on steam so consistently in favor of a client that does ALL THE SAME BAD SHIT but worse

Are you retarded?
You are not paying for any updates. The game devs are just advertising that there has been a major update. Same thing happens on Steam all the time.

>funding the chinese

Yes.

Gaben BTFO

how do i change region if i have already paid in my own region?

You can't buy Ubi games cause of their integration with uplay, it's been an issue for a while. I doubt any of the developers get less money off those, the sale is probably mostly covered by Epic

Says my paypal address isn't valid for the US one to get hades for 7bucks instead of 17.

Is it actually hex based strategy? If so, why the fuck is there a hex based John Wick game?

Just bought Satisfactory and Hades

And three weeks ago I would have been avidly against ANOTHER game client. I'm ok with Steam, GOG, and i guess Epic now. I still refuse to use uplay or origin though.

>WE'RE GIVING YOU €10 OFF EVERY GAME €14.99 AND UP
>Hades 14.86€
heh

Artyom no!

origin is unironically the best non-steam store now, it has a fairly big selection and EA premier basically lets you rent a bunch of games for a month for $15, I used to spend about half that to rent a single game for a weekend

>Steam sales haven't been good for a long time
I got Tales of Symphonia and 428 Shibuya Scramble super cheap last sale, they were heavily discounted
Why are you lying?

I would have bought hades if it was the same price as the US store has it listed as.

are you seriously asking if it's a hex based strategy solely because hex is in the title? are you actively TRYING to be the dumbest person in the thread?

Epic is actually based holy shit

protip bud, when someone here says good they mean "tailors to me specifically"

>I bought a game right before it went on sale. Can I get a refund and repurchase it at the sale price?
Yes. (weeb moot a shit so I cant post the steam store link, but you can just google it)

And we also have
Shitposting and shilling at it's finest because this is literally all that a normal steam sale would give you, EXCEPT they are still trying to jew so hard by changing prices just before the sale so most titles wouldn't fall under the 15 bucks or more deal.

It took a couple of years before GTA V went on sale. By then it's already made money.

Or even just actual unreal.

gta 5 isn't a game anymore, it's a storefront

The fact that they'll undercut their own sale is just hilarious. Even when submitting, Tim still has so much hate for his consumers

I think the real issue here is that in the US, the original price is still listed as 19.99 and the sale price is listed at 6.99.
I just bought Hades for 6.99 while eurobros are complaining that its nearly twice the cost for them

Why can I download the Source SDK off of steam but not the Unreal Editor from the Not so Epic Game Store both are free and Epic has no real reason to not advertise it.

I bet you were biting in Steam's chinese new year sale's 5$ meme too.
How pathetic one must be to actually take such small baits?

Wait a second are you implying steam sales are bad because someone could potentially get something for cheaper off of a CD Key store site?

Vast majority is steam cucks using the sunken cost fallacy to defend Valve

>it's not a crime if the goverment does it

Not gonna lie, this is reminding me of time before STEAM sales turned to absolute dog shit.

Yes. They aren't CD key resellers. They are legit sites that get their keys through legit channels.

I'm sorry bros! $5 for Bloodlines 2 ($10 for season pass) was just too good for me..
Forgive me, Gabe!!

I'm waiting drones.

What is Valve doing now? Oh right. Just twiddling their thumbs with the gimmick VRshit.

yes but it's fucked

What's wrong with that? You expect stores to compete with steam without selling games for less than steam? Imagine a world where steam matched the lowest price, they would kill every other digital distributor with ease. I'm not saying steam shouldn't have good sales but the reality of the situation is that smaller stores have the advantage of undercutting steam.

The downside of buying games like that is that they're non-refundable, if a game doesn't work or you don't like it you're shit out of luck even if you played for less than 2 hours.

Well for once it's not a bad thing but it's also not going to be a regular thing because they're literally losing money on every single purchase
Now just stop buying exclusives and I'll consider.

They are not key resellers. They get keys from publishers to sell.

Yeah but a random russian store that imports physical copies and then resells them online is still a "legit site" that got their keys through "legit channels" those channels being the publishers that sold them the original physical copies.

ah yes, I was unaware that epic had great games like sekiro, DMC5, RE2, MHW or AC7

Still waiting. Any of you fucks think the coming summer sale will be this good? lmao

yeah but for some people its worse than steam

Bc we fucked SmileyFace idk why
But games are pricey bc average salary for month in my city about $470 so kinda thats why people like my never bought a game in their life

Yeah, that's right. Epic has World War Z. Steam has Gender Bender DNA Twister Extreme.

I think we know what store has the better games.

I will be good because unlike Epic there's games I'm actually interested in

Kek.

user do explain what is the difference between

>Company A buys CD key from Publisher digitally, sells it digitally
>Company B buys CD key physically, sells it digitally
Both are buying games through official channels and then selling those keys on their own store. Just because Company B think its a better deal for them to buy physical and sell digital doesn't make them any less of an official store.

>This is solely on Epic's end

As is every other problem with gaming these days. At least they're honest about how fucking inept they are.

Company A is selling legit keys.
Company B is breaking the license agreement and therefore selling keys that the publisher can revoke at any time as has happened before.

Kid this meme is so old I'm not sure how it hasn't been corrupted on your HD

Yeah it's not like people in this thread aren't bitching over their pricing bullshit

Guys... I am the weakest of you all because i finally gave in.
Ashen and Phoenix Point half off. I couldn't resist.
Insult me, Yea Forums.

faggot

Excuse me mr user, but why the fuck do you assume that stores are NOT allowed to sell JUST the CD key.
Explain to me how any game store sold Fallout 76, because that game doesn't HAVE A DVD, all that you have in a box is a CD key used to download, so according to your logic GameStop is a shady russian reseller breaking licences.

There is no joy in insulting people that want to be insulted

Steamcucks BTFO

Ashen is fucking garbage and Phoenix Point isn't even out yet.

At least get Hades or something.
Christ. What awful fucking taste.

>>Still waiting. Any of you fucks think the coming summer sale will be this good? lmao
Yes? This sale is literally only a $10 off sale, unless you're buying indie shit $10 is nothing.

Have fun, friend. I might pick up 2 final seasons of TWD for $5 myself

Just because some stores try to pull double duty by selling both the key and the physical disc as separate products doesn't mean that all of them do it.

Final season is golden. You're in for a ride

>Go fuck yourself Steam for being anti consumer and don't refund the money you would have saved if you have just waited one day longer.
In their refund TOS they clearly state that you are free to refund to gain better deal

Ashen is bad.

Wew. I was this close to giving in. Thanks guys.
Well i guess Phoenix Point can wait.

They're not even trying to hide it

Because that's the conditions set by the publisher in the license agreement. Any store reselling keys they aren't supposed to is breaking the agreement.
Any keystore registered in Hong Kong or some other tax haven is pretty much guaranteed to be selling illegal keys.

You might be kneedeep in epic but we'll always have your back lad when it comes to sale autism.

Reminder that it's close to the end for epic's shit store.
This is their last push

The games are free off a torrent at any time.

>Hades for 7 clams

Attached: lightless.jpg (1000x1465, 470K)

mostly because they're coming from other countries. Games cost different price in different countries, buying your games from a russian or chinese retailer and running them in the US violates almost every games terms of service.

Russian retailers selling games to foreign buyers violates the ToS on nearly every game, its not a legitimate retailer and your keys can be invalidated by the publisher

>Reminder that it's close to the end for Steam's shit store.
>This is their last push
>The games are free off a torrent at any time

They are paying devs to put their games on the their store, instead of improving the service, no buy for me.

Anyone else think this is a last ditch attempt to pad out the sales numbers for their exclusives in hopes of convincing other devs?

Like they never mentioned accurate Exodus sales but with this sale, they can hopefully add a lot to it and maybe publicly announce that it sold like "500k units on EGS!!!". This goes for all their other flops as well.

Steam literally bought and shut down WON servers to force people to use Steam.

You cannot play Russian game in US on Steam. There was a huge uproar about that not long ago.

God damn the pre-order for Bloodlines 2 is cheap. Anything else I should get?
>sold out to le epic store
Look bros I gotta do what I gotta do

>sneeding retarded tranny can't even counter these simple facts
stupid epic shill

Like everything the epic fag store promises, they went back on it. "No sales" "No trash" "No more bribes"

>Any store reselling keys they aren't supposed to is breaking the agreement.
Ohhh so your clairvoyance allows you to know what deal any given publisher has made with any given store?
No seriously the issues from CD key stores ALL come from the fact that !!!!SOME!!!! stores try to rip out the CD key, sell that !!!!!!!!!AND!!!!!!!! then sell the physical copy as well.

Not many CD resellers try that nowadays as most games are bound to an online service like Steam/Uplay/Origin though a few do crop up every now and then, the vast majority are just buying bulk physical orders trashing the discs and then selling the keys online, which is 100% legal and allowed.
Stop trying to act like an expert on a subject that you clearly know jack shit about

I understand bro. Poorfags gotta poor. As long as you don't shitpost this board with le epic shilling then you're cool.

Honestly only Bloodlines 2 and Hades seems worth it. Not that I'm buying any of them of course.

CS 1.6, HL2 and all others still have servers, it lacks official game servers, but then again who cares? Back in the day official servers intention was for private server adoption period.

just read the ToS and user agreements for the games in question.
I guarantee you'll find a clause in there about buying them in your own country.

>honestly this cgi trailers seems worth it
ah you are brain damaged

Anyone else thinks this is their first global sale?
Steam has 3-4 of those every year

>Read ToS
Why? ToS only applies when you use the product. If you haven't used to product ToS doesn't apply in any shape or form.

I'm not saying what your doing is morally wrong or anything.
Just that the publishers could rightly invalidate your keys at any time.

Golden Week sale just a while ago was pretty good desu.

The one thing Epic is still craving for. Japanese devs.

I guess I just assumed you were buying cd keys so you could play the games.

If you're reselling them yourself than I guess its a whole different story. Pro-Tip, get physical copies with keys so you can sell the key and also sell the physical copy

>just read the ToS and user agreements for the games in question.
What does that have to do with the what the STORE is allowed to do with the CD key and disc they get?

Like holy shit you absolute mongoloid get it through your thick skull, most CD key stores are not selling "stolen" CD keys, they are selling brand new CD keys they got straight from the publisher because regional pricing lets them make a neat profit.

also there are 0 games worth getting on the store
save your mom and dad's money

Yes, as a buyer and user you're violating the ToS by purchasing your game from a foreign retailer and running the software in your own country.

The store is also violating an agreement and the publisher would stop selling them keys if they knew what was happening.

If you think there isn't any legal barrier to buying copy's of your game from countries where regional pricing means they're cheaper, you are the mongoloid.

If you could do that there would be whole game clients set up in countries where games are cheaper, selling keys all around the world. Those companies get shut down quickly because publishers eventually figure out whats going on.

nobody is telling you the keys are stolen.
they're region specific and the ToS allows the publisher to invalidate them if they're being used int he wrong region.

thats all we're telling you my man.

The sales seem neat but their catalog is a really hard sell
>Hades is cool but it's an early access roguelite that'll probably release on all stores once it's complete
>BL3 and Bloodlines 2 have got sales but pre-orders are always a no no from me
>where are all of Ubisoft's games?
>all the other games are meh
Maybe they should have waited for their E3 conference when there's even more games on their store? Or would that overlap too much with Valve's summer sale?

Seems a bit too early.

as a buying you do not have access to the ToS before you use the product, you are violating none of it.
as a seller you do not have access to the ToS before you use the product, you are violating none of it.
>If you think there isn't any legal barrier to buying copy's of your game from countries where regional pricing means they're cheaper, you are the mongoloid.
There might be in some bizzaro country, but as a rule of thumb there isn't, and even if there is. ToS has nothing to do with it.
>If you could do that there would be whole game clients set up in countries
Show me one example where it's not allowed to buy cheaper and sell higher, i fucking dare you.

>Yes, as a buyer and user you're violating the ToS
As a buyer I don't have to care at all about what the ToS says because it's something I agree to after buying a game and if I for some reason DID care enough then I could just use a VPN which is, again 100% legal.

>The store is also violating an agreement and the publisher would stop selling them keys if they knew what was happening.
Yeah sure that's why key resellers have been a thing for well over a decade now, EA and Activision just don't know that it's happening. Totally, thats a logical conclusion.

>If you think there isn't any legal barrier to buying copy's of your game from countries where regional pricing means they're cheaper, you are the mongoloid.
If you think there is a legal barrier to buying a game from aregion where the pricing is cheaper then you are a mongoloid.
Or do you perhaps think Airport Security is going to check your luggage then compare the price of every item in it to the average consumer price in whatever nation you are going to and then confiscate it all based on the fact that you had the audacity to buy cheaper from somewhere else?

And a consumer is allowed to bypass that entirely by using a VPN or something similar, ToS are not legally binding and if a consumer can get around it then they are by law allowed to do so.

Are you actually such a massive cuck, that you assume because EA and Steam are dicking you over by not allowed you to harness the power of a global market as something that they are doing because of laws?
What regional pricing is and how it's enforced is borderline illegal, the only reason it's around is because it's a private business on a private network so they are basically allowed to do whatever they want. (same rules that allow pubs to kick out rowdy clients) But it as sure a shit isn't against the law to circumvent it.

If you can't think of a single example where you aren't allowed to buy low in country A and sell high in country B, you need to grow up a bit more. I can think of at least four different things I could buy that would be illegal to sell for profit in another country, but I'm not going to spoon feed your dumb ass.

Just pirate the game, its free and you don't run the risk of having your paid key deactivated.
If you have concerns over it just call up the publisher and ask them if your russian retailer is a legitimate distribution channel

pre orders, that's all they have

Hades, Hades, and Hades.

Everything else is a wash.

Why go to such a roundabout method to insult yourself.

Also contact your local police department and tell them how your local car store is breaking the law by buying cheaper from overseas, then importing it and selling it to you for a higher price.

even mentioning airport security as a legitimate comparison only makes you look extremely naive about this whole thing.
There are no police involved, or customs, or border patrol, or any of that if the publisher deactivates your key because its being used in a country it wasn't distributed to.

You aren't sneaking it past anybody, to activate the game you have to input your key and they check the hash online with the publisher. This argument is silly and you should just be aware that they have safeguards against buying your keys where they are sold the cheapest.

I don't give a shit what you do

If that was the case and it obviously isn't you colossal tard then it would be the job of places like airports to check that no bad boy person carries anything in their luggage that can't be bought for cheaper in the country where said airport is.

Witcher 3's pre-order price was $40 on Steam. It only changed to the standard $60 price once the game actually launched.

True. Never forget what happened to GFWL

If you visit a cinema in the US you pay the US price
If you visit a cinema in the assend of nowhere you pay the equivalent in zimbabwe dollars

This is fine as you are paying the price in the region where you watch the movie

A comparison with games would be if you bought a DVD from Mexico and pop into your DVD player in the US and the DVD flat out doesn't play just because the publisher said so.
Again as places like Steam and Origin provide a service in that they allow you to download updates and so on, then they are allowed to restrict things like that, but it is a very very very borderline case

>nobody is arguing that its illegal

desperate attempt to get some bucks from subhumans before closing up shop since nobody is buying or preordering anything from this shitty store

WHAT THE FUCK EPIC

>metro exodus that low
what? where?
>In fact, the Uplay edition sold ten times as many copies as the original Division -- none of which Ubisoft would have had to pay a merchant's cut for
let's face it everyone bought it with their uplay points giving it a 20% discount so they aren't earning that much more even with no cut

>tfw GOG was the only one that actually tried to compensate Yuropeans and now they can't afford to do it anymore

>John Wick and Epic/Fortnite

How is that such a popular partnership?

They literally sell a new John Wick skin for 2000 VBucks right now ($20!)

Well it is a legal barrier. Because you agree to the ToS and they have the legal right to deactivate your shit if you violate it.

you aren't committing crimes by buying cd keys from russia. The dev's also won't be violating any laws by deactivating your shit.

and by the way I'm not just spouting bs because I'm anonymous on the internet.

I spend $15 on a cd key for factorio years ago and the publisher deactivated the key while I was using it. I bought it from one of those key retailers in a foreign country. The factorio devs basically told me that I bought it through a illegitimate channel in the first place and that its unfortunate but they shut down all the keys related to that retailer.
I had no legal recourse against the retailer or the publisher. thats what I mean when I say legal barrier. Also I'd like to note that was pretty clear in the post you quoted, you just have bad reading comprehension.

user what the fuck are you on about?

Of course shipping costs differently dumb fuck, otherwise it had to be free. What you can't discriminate is how you choose to pay online. Not even the dumbfucks at Sony does that.

Why would anyone buy a Uplay game though steam anyway, you still need to launch Uplay if you want to play it

user, 2013 was 6 years ago

It means when they deactivate (essentially steal back after your bought it) your key they aren't violating any laws because you violated their ToS

its pretty simple user. at this point I don't give a shit whether or not you understand it.

I use FuCk69OfF101

theres an automatic vpn ban system so think again retards
its an account thing, not just the game removed
and they keep the money too lol
epic are scumbags

It's a bit like a mix between Ico and Journey, but not as good as that might sound.
The problem is that it's about as long and involved as Ico, but it constantly tries to pull your heartstrings and wow you while staying minimalistic like Journey. To me it made the game feel kind of shallow and try-hard. The ending twist is also something I kind of hated.

And neither are you if you use VPN to active said key, in which case they will never find out about it and legally speaking can't do anything about it either.

You got fucked because you got unlucky with a key and you were too stupid to take precations against getting fuccked, that doesn't change the fact that exceptions are not the rules and you know jack shit bout the subject, you just assume that if something happened to you then it must also have happened to everyone.
This is not the case and you I have been calling you a retard because you keep making this assumption

They got me hooked, i really dig the ubishit store with all their daily quests and little gimmicls.

You are cockhol

In my case, I can't literally think of any feature EGS is superior to Steam, the current "go-to" PC store. If you want to enter the online store amrket, I expect you will offer the consumer something better than whatever is dominating it to get a cut. That is not the case.

As a consumer, I like to support the devs when I like a game, but I also want a proper bang per buck and if supporting the product offers me better features (Workshop, an organized library, refunds, official updates and online play). EGS claims to be a lightweight, no bullshit store for the user and better option for the devs, yet what I see is a software that takes more RAM than steam, lacks basic features such as a shopping cart, automated refunds and is buying exclusivities left and right so the content of the store can't appear anywhere else, not itch.io nor GOG, and leaves transictions fees to the devs to deal with that are extremely fucked up in some countries.

I don't mind competition for online stores, just don't come to me with a shittier product that's worse in all regards to the one I have and expect me to buy it just because "it's better for the ones who made it". Their responsability is to make a worth buying product and properly promote it in order to make a living, not mine to give money for the sake of existing.

So that's what it all boils down to?

20 posts of you being wrong about every subject known to man, just to move to goalposts to be wrong about something else and all we get out of it was
>well I got a CD key deactivated once that means it happens to everyone, CD resellers are all evil and everything related to them is illegal because ToS.

Ur a joke m8

Can I not buy Anno or something? What happened to the ubisoft games?

Well that's the greek spirit my dude. I do hope you straight guys get some eye candy too though. It wouldn't be fair otherwise.

No spine.

Why would Mediterraneans think up an African as one of their Gods?

>change country in my account settings
>can now buy games from other countries for almost nothing
I don´t know why this works without a VPN but I´ll take it.

Aphrodite is naked so I'm good, don't worry about me. I just wish she had better boons.

steam did this in during the lunar sale. It isn't original.

Where are the:
-Forums
-mod support (workshop)
-Galleries, discussions
-Automated refunds
-Shopping cart
-Tags and sorting when browsing the store
-customizable library
-Adding games outside steam
-Launch options
-Gifting
-Social features such as groups, more than 1 person chatroms, etc
-Less RAM consumed than online stores with 5 times EGS features
-Cloud saving
-Archivements
-user reviews

And these are only from the top of my head. Don't give me the "they will add these features, look at the roadmap". Why the fuck are you offering me a phone from 10y ago and saying "don't worry, gimme a couple years and it will be as good as the current ones", fuck you, I want a decent service NOW. You're suppossed to be competing with steam, yet you're offering me nothing. I can pirate the games, and those who I can't can be found in other stores for the same price. Why, in all honesty, would I need to download EGS?

Attached: 1523967760931.png (480x320, 20K)

uh, really? I don't remember that and that was only a while ago, the thing where they refund you if you bought it before the sale is definitely not original though

None of that is necessary.

Just checked the law. It is illegal in the EU to charge extra for credit card or bank transfer payments. Courts decided that this also applies to Paypal because Paypal just acts as an intermediary for credit card or bank transfers.
This does NOT apply to paysafecard since they can be bought with cash, so charging extra for Paysafecard is perfectly legal (as it should be).

Coming later like how 90% of their store is prepurchase or early access

Attached: 1508325216905.png (500x762, 486K)

I've become numb to sales desu. Steam drowned me in so much of it that even their sales don't get me going anymore.

The Epic Games Store also isn't necessary

Neither are 90% of the features modern phones have.
Try to sell a brick Nokia from 15y ago, see how it goes.

cope

Honestly fuck the roadmap, they will never stick to it and here's why: Every time they add a game to EGS it delays EVERYTHING, that's why they pushed the whole roadmap back by one month so imagine what happens when epic decides they want to add a bunch more games, every time it will delay the roadmap more and more.

guess my money isn't necessary for EGS either

During the sale if you spent $30 or more you get $5 off your whole cart.

Just pirate it, retard.

Most Steam games in my country (Argentina) are cheaper than that and not even on sale kek

>Don't give me the "they will add these features, look at the roadmap".
Do they really not have a shopping cart? IIRC it was supposed to be implemented two months ago, and wasn't there last month when I checked.

Ummm sweetie optimizing their process of adding games is also on the roadmap.

delayed

that's 6 months away

Attached: Capture.jpg (1550x886, 165K)

lmao you cucks why do you even need a shopping cart?

their store isn't even that big at the moment to merit it

Many people buy and use brick phones in 2019.
And Nokia is still a good brand for brick phones.
What is your point?

Because I don't like to pay things one by one when I go to a supermarket or Amazon.
I look for everything I want, put it together and pay at one time.

It's a digital store, no really, how fucking HARD to add the feature of a shopping cart is.

Latest one I bought where Resident Evil 2 Remake on Greenman gaming.

>More than six months for a shopping cart
How do you not launch with one? It not incentivizes your consumer to buy more shit in a lump, not having one discourages purchasing a number of cheap games.

Nokia isn't buying phone apps, forcing app devs to not release their product outside and claiming their product is superior to smartphones.

>Get tempted to buy Phoenix Point
>Remember how the devs went on record saying that every kickstarter backer could pull out and they'd still be in the black
>Don't buy Phoenix Point
Never fucking ever will I use the epic fag store. If this game can't win me over at a discounted price, then nothing can.

The more you know. Thanks senpai, was sure psc was under that too but I guess not.

I'll be holding off on that one until a hefty expansion comes after its release.

In the mean time I'm just burning the time away with some based as fuck X-Com Files.

>wow I want to buy 10 of these games in this awesome sale
>oh wait you mean I need to check out 10 times because a fucking store in 2019 doesn't have a basket? sheeeeeeeeit

Pretty sure online stores in the 2000s had baskets, why does epic need 6+ months to make one?

Our export of manufactured goods (sans weapons I guess) is not very developed. We mostly export natural resources, and a major percent of our whole economy basically hinges on oil. Back when the oil prices plummeted so did the rouble. We were actually beginning to do okay for ourselves, even despite the 2008 worldwide crash. Shit sucks, man.

>store search
Wait do they mean something else by that or are they actually referring to a search bar?? I know it has very few games but that should be standard. The fuck are they praising themselves about??

yep, EGS launched without a search function, it took a few months for them to add it

Is it normal for a game like metro to already be on sale?? Genuinely asking, i thought it would hold it's price for longer.

Yes, every game goes on sale after 1 month because there are so many games coming out these days.

Didn't Metro came out on february?It's been almost 3 months, good enough for a sale

Nice.
I mean what do dumb guaylo need search for, just buy every game you stupid westerner.
Chyna namba wan

I was absolutely expecting a sale but not expecting it under 30-40 bucks.
20 seems rather low.

guess they pay the pubblisher to be able to make bigger sales

Exodus flopped. Of course it's going to go on sale this fast and this cheap.

>No it didn't.
