>Epic have just announced the Epic Mega Sale is now on in the Epic Games Store. Developers and publishers are discounting many games up to 75% off! Any games you purchase that are $14.99 or above, Epic will be providing an additional $10 off!
Plus a free game every week instead of the regular 2
They're trying really hard to get your credit card details huh? Based bugmen.
Owen Phillips
I can't get behind China. If their government doesn't care about their own people, they certainly don't care about people from other countries.
Plus, buying exclusives is a really scummy thing to do, rather than standing up on the success of their own store, they're just riding fortnite, the majority of whose players have no interest in games. As someone with an interest in games I would rather have my interests catered to rather than the overlapping interests of multinational investors.
Jordan Cooper
>the majority of whose players have no interest in games
I should rephrase this as no interest in OTHER games. A large proportion play this because it's free popular garbage.
Brody Rodriguez
>took Valve years to do sales >Epic is doing them not even a year in The desperation! OH NO NO NO NO!
Nathaniel Gray
>user still trying
Nicholas Bailey
Why didn't Epic made publishing deals with indie and AA studios that gave them actual exclusivities instead of just bribing some random publishers and developers?
Blake Anderson
>sales on games that have yet ro be released and haven't shown any gameplay yet
Liam Thompson
Imagine being this fucking retarded to think 75% off is worth it, when you can get all Epic Games games for 100% off.
Dylan Sanders
>steam sales thread >everyone show what they're buying nad talk about games >epic sale thread >chink shills and shitposting Wow nice sale
Cameron Parker
They already did buy the Rocket League devs
Evan Hall
Because games take time to make and if they're gonna attract people to their platform they need exclusives *now*.
Mason Gonzalez
Fuck Steam the Epic Store will surpass it, we will look back at the decomposing body of Steam in a few years and laugh.
>Developers and publishers are discounting many games up to 75% off! Any games you purchase that are $14.99 or above, Epic will be providing an additional $10 off! Wait, so does that mean if you buy a game that's normally $20 they actually pay you $5?
Blake Lopez
>bought World War Z and preordered John Wick and Phoenix Point for the price of one (1) normal game Epic is pretty fucking based. I’m loving this.
there's like 10 games on the epic store and theyre all shit
Julian Foster
>Or is the front page everything that's on the store? Yes, except for the games they removed from the sale, the only way to get those is to have a link to the game in the first place.
Camden Long
sorry but im not ready to sell whats left of my soul to the chinesse yet
Jeremiah Cox
Not even that. It gives a 404.
Lucas Morris
That's fucking awful. What a bunch of incompetent niggers.
Epic Games store will never be good if they don't get Gift Cards like steam. I didn't give my damn credit card numbers to valve after 10 years of steam, I won't suddenly start with a chinese game store.
Zachary Russell
You already have stupid western, who do you think fabricated all your consuner goods.
It doesn't work, it returns a 404 page I wonder if Epic actually explained this sale to publishers or just rushed it as fast as they can
Anthony Ross

Word is Epic will be releasing their own controller to compete with the Steam Controller. How many Cameras does Valve have in their controller? None? HAHA that's what I fucking thought. The Epic controller will have three cameras as well as a long range RFID reader built in, good luck competing with that pcbros.
Michael Fisher
Announcing reports is a ban : ^ )
Christopher Perez
>The Epic controller will have three cameras for better spying
>Had to remove Vampire Bloodlines 2 from the Store until the end of the sale because it turned out that the game was too cheap in certain regions and Paradox didn't want that >Not only that, Ubisoft is also "hiding" their games in the EGS for similar reasons Yeah, Steam can't even compete anymore!
Now please post a source and the amount of hacked information Epic store had, I'll be waiting.
Xavier Harris
Valve had sales since 2008/09 Will continue to too.
Epic wants to get as much good press to survive dying out because this stupid Epic exclusive shit doesn't affect console players, who get the game anyway....

James Kelly
>>Epic store has expensive games more like NO games
Matthew Thomas
Only thing that looks worth it is Subnautica Below Zero. Its nice and cheap on Epic
How about giving better deals than steam? Also not taking away bought games because you fucked up the pricing would be a good addition along with a shopping cart. Eat shit
Jonathan Wood
Here you go, one of biggest spyware groups has access to the epic store information.
It's alright, it's definitely playable but the war of the chosen really improves the game (and its performance), the legacy pack also has a god tier OST. Asides from that I guess Shen's Gift and Alien Hunters packs are alright but not really worth it if not on sale
This is going to make Stambabbies seethe so much. Need to start the next thread with that image.
Mason Foster
I can't find Anno 1800 on the store. Did they remove it already or something? Already have the game, just seeing if they really are ballsy enough to give $10 off a Ubisoft game after only a month.
Blake Stewart
This is a bunch of generalizations that feel like you want to justify not using EGS when you have a perfectly rational excuse already. Makes me feel like you don't think simply not wanting to do something isn't enough of an excuse, so you you just make up a bunch of shit that other people told you and then formed your "own" opinion by using a bunch of sensationalized information built from a political agenda.
Just kill yourself, you fucking seat warmer.

Joseph Myers

If that's real then that tells me the entire sale was a rush job and confirms that epic's store is doing even worse than anyone thought. No amount of whining about "steam shills" will refute this.

Hell they themselves said they never wanted to do sales like steam and this current sale is a rush job. I guarantee they would never do anything like this again if they become a monopoly like they're trying to be.
They are basically burning money to become a monopoly, consider how shitty they act now, it's scary to think what they will do if they ever become one.
Joseph Rodriguez
How well do you think this Mega Sale is going to do? Epic are surely on a winning streak with Metro Exodus and World War Z selling so well.

Makes sense that Ebin shills have to make do with cheap knockoffs I guess.
Wait, so they indirectly admitted Metro sold less than 200k copies there? lmao
Caleb Scott
Imagine losing money for every game you sell because you hadn't inform the publishers and when they learned about it, they told you to stop the process immediately and as you have to honor the sales publishers now demand the price difference.
It's neither AAA or a big franchise. You can just say that it's a licensed game and people will know right away these sale numbers were trash, you can even throw in the comparison that A Hat in Time made over half a million sales just to spice it up too
James Jackson
>an already limited number of games got even more limited Please tell me you're joking. Sweeney can't be this retarded right?
Jack Robinson
The are stupid indeed, but never underestimate the sheer stupidity of normies and whales. Just remember the fact loot boxes and paid dlcs is actually a thing. On the other hand the market wasn't retarded enough to allow paid mods, so there's still hope I guess.

1. Anyone who managed to buy the game at a discount - will receive it at a discount. 2. The game will return to the store. 3. We fully compensate the discount to the publisher, they do not lose money. 4. The publisher was informed in advance about the sale mechanism and was aware of its conditions. Okay, regarding point 4. I was sure that Paradox were aware of the sale mechanism. After a little investigation, it turned out that I was wrong.
>your store can't make individual discounts Just...

Netease got a stake on quantic dream and they bought the publishing rights to all of quantic dream's Sony exclusive games.

Financially speaking it won't make a dent in Epic because of infinite fortnite money but picturing a bunch of suits at Paradox and Ubisoft being fucking baffled by this retardation is hilarious
Ubisoft probably doesn't gives a fuck. They have Epicbux, minimum sales and a reason to drive people to their store. Also, IIRC their games were taken down because Epic had issues with Uplay.
Kevin Diaz
Holy shit they already doubled the price of hades. It was $7 earlier today. Now jacked up to $15. Should've jumped on that, bros.
Gabriel Edwards
We are laughing at your desperation, Sweeney.
Elijah Phillips
They love sucking corporate cock but chimp out as soon as someone mentions anything but glorious gaben Maybe if they made content that people enjoyed or had something devs/publishers wanted they wouldnt be in this situation but stagnation for a decade will do that to a company. I honestly dont even know how Gabens dorito fueled conga line is still going, seems like another problems crops up every month despite them having decades of experience and business deals propping them up.

WE aren't shills. Valve, Yea Forums, we're cut from the same cloth. Don't abandon Steam just because we're not doing so well. Between the new VR headsets and the upcoming Steam exclusive Valve games, there's a lot to look forward to. Meanwhile, what does Epic have besides a sale and some exclusives?
Charles Clark
its not the sale its more of people shilling such a shitty store and company
Adam Clark
>I never do pre-orders but I can make an exception for Remedy Sam
You do know Remedy will probably never see any additional profit from your sale right? Hell their publisher probably won't even see any more profit given how all of Epic's exclusivity deals go
How many games did they have pre-sale and now how many are there during the sale. I wonder if all the games will return post-sale.
Thomas Hernandez
You know you just look like an asshole when you announce your piracy. Anyone can do it by releasing their morals. Do it, but shut up about it.

Nathaniel Evans
They didn't made any excuse for Bloodlines, so I don't have any reason to distrust the Uplay issue.
I don't buy valve hardware, but I'm pretty sure valve keeps support for their stuff
Jose Cook
what do you mean releasing your morals? is it bad to not buy from a store that seeks to be a monopoly, lies to the consumer and only cares for the publisher? If you really think about it pirating is actually the most moral thing to do in this situation aside from not buying it of course
Juan Howard
>wahh they are stealling my games You retards sound as stupid as the dipshits that think immegurts took yer jerbs
Epic can not steal a game from steam. A developer or publisher can take their goods to any store they see fit.

>this isn't about store wars anymore, i'm just mad that games don't start at 50 as a baseline anymore.
I pay $45-50 for all my new PC vidya. Just use third-party sellers like GreenManGaming
Leo Jenkins
No, I'm not joking, just google "epic removes bloodlines 2 from sale" and you'll find a bunch of different websites talking about it already. Also, they might be issuing forced refunds for Bloodlines (and the other "removed" games) to the people that managed to buy them while they were up. I just didn't mention that in my other post because I saw that on the previous thread and couldn't find any confirmation elsewhere.
>steam sales >good >calling anyone a zoomer when you still think this i'm all for saying "fuck chinks lmao" but don't act like steam is any better anymore.
Asher Jackson
That's fair enough but they didn't say anything at all about Oxygen either. Why would the issue occur at such a convenient timing and not during one of the launches of a major Ubisoft title for one? Considering we're dealing with companies that need to save face I'll assume there's a small chance Ubisoft pulled the titles as well
Poor Gaben. He's looking at his lifes work and legacy crumble by the day. Steam is actually dying for once. This is fucking history.

Fucking discord forced them to finally try updating their chat client after how many fucking years? They still havent even added support for the xbox elite controller to big picture despite it being built into their linux based os years ago, they are literally too lazy to port the code over.
Good luck supporting that trashpile, I wouldn't touch epic with a ten foot pole either

How long until publishers start selling out Epic for their fuck up? Cause the few users Epic has are gonna go after the publishers, and they're gonna have to flip it off them somehow.
Henry Price
Yes, and they're given to whomever maximizes profit for the company, which are the immigrants and illegals. Don't make this a semantics argument.
Carter Parker
>They still havent even added support for the xbox elite controller to big picture despite it being built into their linux based os years ago, they are literally too lazy to port the code over. unironically email them. the emails of key staff are on the website. they respond almost immediately. the day the fps counter was added in to steam, i sent someone (cant remember who) an email asking if they could make it so the fps counter could be moved to different parts of the screen and a different color. they responded in a few hours, and the next steam update the things i asked for were added. stop being shy and talk to them.
They will if you keep up this attitude and abandon Valve and Steam.
Cameron Morgan
Alright buddy, you've given me two (You)s, I'll repay the favor, now stop responding to me you illiterate ESL.

Levi Bell

I wouldn't think a store that needs to do a unilateral $10 off on fucking everything regardless of regional price to get people buying things is doing all that well (especially when this shit was apparently so rushed that devs and publisher had no goddamn idea about the sales specifics)

Jonathan Martinez
>Implying valve won't die in max 2 years You can accept this fate or defy it but you cannot deny it

The $10 off anything is them flexing on Steam. They're showing off their confidence. It's already over Steam can't compete with Fortnites unlimited cash flow.
Brayden Martin
>Itch doesnt even take a cut from devs either. Not exactly true, they allow developers to choose their cut, and while 0 is the minimum it does default to 10%.
Nicholas Young
Don't be idiots, they're throwing money at the problem to make sure they come out on top. They could have a sale like this every day of the week until New Year's and still be in the black due to Fortnite. If you get lazy, you WILL underestimate them.

Steam has enough money to make a better offer. Instead they got more doritos for gaben
Colton Green
that's like 7 bottles of drinkable cologne. Or a week on crocodil.

Steam fucks everyone else over and that seems to be the norm so I was surprised to discover that Epic's sales and discounts are actually international.

Jackson Lee
Well I just did so you're proven wrong, must be very embarrassing for you right now
>Epic is winning. Injecting Fornite money into other financial adventures will only get them so far, user. Right now we're at a stage where Epic is trying to get its foot in the door and in two years or so, if nothing noteworthy has been achieved, not even "fornite money will keep us in the black" will save Epic because the point of the EGS getting a foothold is not having to rely on Fortnite money in the first place. Despite all of this exclusive bullshit and Epic sponsored sales I wouldn't say they're winning at all; despite all of Tim's lies, their recent fuck ups with paradox, the constant complaints of hacked accounts and the roadmap being delayed I wouldn't say they're losing either. This is a long term thing
I didnt actually think people believed in th boogeyman but all this epic shitflinging has made it apparent

You wouldn't pay for games also if you had to pay like 4 times as much in labor hours. Epic is doing shit ton for their consumers right now, yet valve shills are still mad. Seriously, being angry at epic is one thing but you retards are trying to find a conspiracy in a fucking sale. Stay mad while I enjoy my practically free games released a month ago

Valve was able to turn places like China and Russia into hugely profitable regions as everyone was telling them to not even bother, so if people in those regions go back to piracy on the Epic Game Store than that's on Epic for fucking up somewhere
Carter Jenkins
such an obvious shill, cmon
Hunter Turner
Imagine if Epic was launching their Store right now, with better features and security with that sale. Why didn't they just do that? If they had launched their store with that sale instead of burning money on timed exclusives they would have eclipsed steam without the backlash they're experiencing.
Wyatt Brooks
Does EGS store have a policy against buying from other regions yet? Because if I can nab Exodus for fucking 5 dollars why not lmao
Dylan Price

Joshua Long
>How can Steam niggers cope?
By pirating again like I used to? That ain't hard.
Kayden Cook
When steam dev/steam fucked up in a pricing issue you got to keep the game.
They're just flexing to show off their Fortnite money. Boy they better have a backup plan when Fortnite is going to be surpassed by something else.
Sebastian James
>why not lmao
Because it's a really fucking mediocre game. I genuinely don't understand how they messed that one up with how good 2033 and Last Light were
Nathan Russell
Valve is pretty bad. I only oppose Epic because they are worse.
Gavin Scott
>when Fortnite is going to be surpassed by something else.
Fortnite will only be surpassed when Epic stops slowly killing their entire workforce to get season after season out at an unhealthy speed. Seriously people''s standards for vidya updates have become absurd due to Fortnite
So, you want Valve to get to Timmy's lowest low? Now that would be a civil war that will actually hurt not only consumer, but other stores too, AND it'll become even more cancerous than current console-tier store war. My take on this is to support everyone BUT ebin. And if I want to get the games legit way in the future. I should support not only Steam/Valve, but other stores like GOG/Origin/Uplay, too. Oh and key resellers are fine choice too as long as they are selling keys to every store but ebin's one.

I like his style. I enjoyed getting my female protagonist raped and killed, is there anything wrong with that? I enjoyed roleplaying as crack whore Ellen Page, how was that not a worthwhile experience? David and me, we think alike.

Steam is shit and chinks are worse. The OP is blatant advertising and nothing more.

Lincoln Garcia
My backlog is fucking massive too and even if it weren't I can just plow through mods for my favorite games or go back to the games I like to replay every other year or so. I don't even mind having more than one platform, I alternate between GoG and Steam quite often. But seeing the words "timed exclusive" makes me want to wait for it to not be an exclusive just out of sheer contrarianism. Same thing with buying Uplay/Bethesda Launcher games on Steam just for the sake of knowing the publishers get a smaller cut.
Seems like that's what Steam is doing, at the very least, Gabe and friends haven't said a peep about Epic, beyond when everyone found out that the Epic launcher digs through your Steam info. Instead of giving the yappy poodle the attention they want, Valve is playing a big part in porting thousands of games to Linux so that when Win7 dies, those games will be preserved and playable on a free modern operating system.
Valve has the resources. They don't have the hunger. They will continue to do nothing while epic takes away their market and that will cost them. If they don't fight and adapt then they will be left in the dust.
Lincoln Cooper
They never should have resolved on buying timed exclusives. If they had took the time to develop their store features and it's security, launched it just before/during E3 with the sale they're doing right now, they would've easily eclipsed Steam in a couple of month. I don't understand why they made such an unnecessarily risky gamble.
Adrian Jenkins
>Here's your Steam exclusive open world Royale
S..s.sstop playing Fortnite. That will be $40 + tip!
Phoenix point shit is the worse fucking bullshit i have seen a publisher do. >Use money from fans to fund game >Explicitly say "steam, gog" on Kickstarter >Epic offers $ >Forces epic launcher even on early access builds >Original backers will have to wait one extra year to gey the promised drm-free version >And now anyone can get the full game and early access for 5$
Luis Fisher
So it's pretty obvious that valve is going down soon, I already accepted that. So here is my question, I obviously don't care about solo games (I pirate them like any reasonable being) but do you think epic will support current multiplayer games from steam or maybe someone else will take that mantle for multi?
Xavier Robinson
>The OP is blatant advertising and nothing more. >but steam sale threads aren't
Ian Ortiz
It's not translated for some reason, but prices are local. Don't know how it works, don't care
Why are you sperging out at me for just stating what's happening? No, I don't like DRM on DRM, that's why I stick with just Steam and don't give a fuck about Ubisoft games anyway. Calm your autism, seriously.
>muh publisher boogeymen PP is self-published, idiot.

I have no qualms about pirating it. After all, they already got paid.

>when Fortnite is going to be surpassed by something else. Whales never leave the games they spent half of their life's earnings on
James Perez
For sure. Epic is going to bridge the gap between consoles and PC's. They have the biggest industry connections and they will make it happen. The best multiplayer PC games are mainly going to be on the Epic launcher in ~5 years.
Isaiah Ward
I'm gonna seed Phoenix Point for months because of that shit Julian pulled. Epic didn't even actually initially offer the money, Snapshot Games fucking asked them if they could get an exclusivity deal
Juan Jenkins
Bribing third parties is indeed faster that finding developers, give them feedback on design, crew and cast, doing marketing plans and QC et al.
Charles Fisher
i have never seen someone get so humilated in one of these threads lmao
Leo Wood
you mean spent half of their daddy's life earning in credit card debt on right? zoomers will move on with no qualms
Xavier Turner
>Snapshot Games fucking asked them if they could get an exclusivity deal youtu.be/E2BGsqtY1o0
Chase Davis
They probably should have used that Fortnite money to deeply discount newly released games, so those games would have been a hell of a lot cheaper on their store than their competitors.
Cooper Thompson
>Mega Sale Isnt that the industry term for “closing sale”?
Jaxson Walker
>morals >Why buy games To give money to developer But epic already paid the developer. Thus, it is entirely moral to pirate epic exclusives.
Zachary Diaz
Oh you're right. I forgot that valve didn't give a single fuck about crossplay while epic is already offering it to any devs that wants to use it. I hope they will take over valve multi game as well and we can all enjoy games together with no hardware exclusives.
Joshua Thompson
Why would I want to play with console retards? It's like picking on actual retards
Carter Taylor
Sounds like they don’t give a shit about those backers
Levi Perez
i already get everything for free
Noah Russell
Exactly, they would be hitting Steam hard AND have good publicity. They wouldn't even need to make exclusive deals and by the time Fortnite money ran out for any reasons, they'd have a decently large player-base. It's so stupid.
Zachary Clark
I'm only speaking from my own experience here, I have a ton of younger cousins and they have never spent a cent on fornite despite playing the game 24/7. People in my age range (mid 20s) and above though, I've seen them spend pretty much their entire paycheck on fortnite several times over. Same goes for gacha shit and the likes. The whales who sustain these games are usually those retards who got some mid level job and think that the money they have left after fixed expenses is "disposable income" and not "future savings".
You want to tell me you don't like picking up on retards? What is wrong with you mate
Kevin Scott
Well about epic taking their market share... There's no games among ebin's exclusives that are permanent. All those will come to other stores after timed exclusivity deal will end and there are still lots of people who are waiting for steam releases. Which is not going to take away steam's market share that's for sure. And Tim can't convert those into permanent exclusives since it is publicly known those are paid and if he'll ever try to do so he'll be brought to the court by authorities due to it being a monopoly behaviour. Valve waiting out is actually a 4D chess play by them. Since at this rate of fuckups made by Tim his shitty store will be on levels of Origin/GOG, if he'll not stop screwing up. Yes EGS will be there, but will it be really that relevant since even now with current huge userbase and lower cut he still can't convince anyone to get in his store without handing out vbuck paychecks?
Logan Powell
>he'll ever try to do so he'll be brought to the court by authorities due to it being a monopoly behaviour. This is retarded.
Jeremiah Bailey
>If they don't fight and adapt then they will be left in the dust. What's there to fight? You know that Steam user base is still the same right?
Sebastian Barnes
Ok, it took me two minutes to browse the entire catalog and it seems like a thinly veiled excuse to bribe people into using the platform with $50 copies of Borderlands 3. There really isn't much else on sale that is worth it or hasn't already been given for free.
Also, I guess the people who pre-ordered Borderlands 3 before today just got tricked out of $10.
I said publishers just in case. Either way if they self publish they're still publishers so the phrase is still correct
Caleb Martin
where are the people posting their carts and shit like that?
Zachary Martinez
If that was the only reason they could do both. But they didn't.
Zachary Brooks
>They will continue to do nothing
Continuously update controller support is nothing? A new UI is nothing? A new multiplayer API for devs of both Steam and non-Steam games to use is nothing? Extreme Linux support through Proton is nothing? All of their work in the VR space is nothing?
Jonathan Morris
Making publishing deals like those of the 90s or like Devolver does is quite laborious and time-consuming.
Luis King
The voodoo code that made possible Online Party still is 90% Steamworks only.
Connor Martinez
They have infinite money.
Kevin Jenkins
99% of the employees are on Fortnite, it seems. This very failure is proof of it.
Michael Jones
Well, pretty much yeah. The fact that you need to mention Linux proves that they don't do shit
Evan Roberts
You have to understand that babies who complain about Steam having no features don't actually use Steam at all because they're most likely consoleplebs or kids who exclusively play AAA shit and nothing else. The Steam forums and Workshop alone have done so much for some of the games I play and for the last two years or so I've only been able to play games casually due to work stuff. Anyone who complains about Steam's lack of features doesn't actually use steam
Landon Morgan
Yeah, fuck Steam for becoming the market leader. I would much rather support a Chinese owned company that engages in anti-competitive practices.
Anthony Nelson
Well, that's how he's been avoiding authorities' attention all this time. His third party exclusives are timed. But the very moment he'll try to buy a permanent third party exclusive he'll be fined a big fat fine. Not even fortnite/tencent money will save him. Microsoft was fined once for monopoly behaviour back in the day such as paying laptop manufacturers for only having a windows os installed and they stopped doing so after they were brought to the court and never attempted it again since hence why you often see linux distros pre installed ot laptop might not have os installed at all. But what about Steam exclusives you might say? Well there's 0 to none records of valve buying third party exclusives and devs/publishers are always allowed to release their games on other stores. So Valve can't be sued for that.
David Butler
Meanwhile on steam.......
Steam just sarted a post-apo games sale for the weekend and is going to kill the ebin sale just with the diversity of games. They can literally do a themed sale whereas ebin can only make sales on the same 10 games they have on their store
It's nice time for you to go back to these steam forums that you love so much, fucking faggot
Ryder Scott

>But the very moment he'll try to buy a permanent third party exclusive he'll be fined a big fat fine. How do you explain Hulu and Netflix? House of Cards is a third party show, but never will leave Netflix.
Robert Flores
>chink can't even pretend to speak english sad
Liam James
You have no fucking clue about this silly billy. Exclusive deals are not ilegal, in fact they are totally normal.
David Sullivan
wait bloodlines got removed?
Jaxon Sullivan
A lot of games got pulled because presumably epic did this sale at the last second without telling anyone.
Asher Campbell
Yeah. The store is so shitty that every discount must be universal.
Oliver Wood
>Every non native English speaker is Chinese No doubt the whole world laugh at murica and support china behind their back.
Luis Baker
Yeah, that was incredibly risky, since legally Epic can't decide what the price of other people's games without permission. Ironically I think it's some anti monopoly law.
John Morgan
so all people who bought were refunded?
Mason Brooks
Source of them not informing anyone: your ass
Ayden Bailey
The reports indicate that.
Yeah, they went full retard.
Sebastian Rodriguez
That's nice and all but most of the games on sale are actually pretty damn shit. On the other hand Mutant Year Zero has a demo and I didn't know that at all. I was already planning on buying the game but I always like the devs who still do this.
Owen Reed
Correct
Jaxson Stewart
>A new multiplayer API This is actually selling it *very* short. It anonymizes traffic, protects players and servers from DDoS, and acts as a parallel internet that lowers pings. It's actually insane.
James Cook
Yeah most of them are shit, but less shit than most games from steam sales. You can be mad, but you can't deny that simple truth
Ian Mitchell
I'm not mad dude I'm just making an observation. The Post-Apoc game genre is plagued with trash because of memes like crafting and survival memes, speaking as someone who has most of the games on this sale in my library.
Imagine installing 47.2% Chinese spyware on your computer for video games

The west is getting controlled so easily by the chinese.
Their grand plan is to get fortnite big by pumping out their numbers with millions of chinese bugmen shilling/botting it. Pretty easy when you have almost 2 billion people you can give death threats to. Attract western retards because "muh numbers" and then get them to spend and exposed their credit cards.

They care for customers at the worst fucking time. Whoever is making these store decisions at Epic needs to be let go.
Jeremiah Russell
Why are you so mad mate, I didn't say anything like that. I just want us to be one big family again, tho Nintendo fags should die in fire.
Jayden Walker
They don't care for customers, "the war will be decided by publishers, not consumers".
Charles Brooks
How do we shut down the reddit?
Lincoln Baker
Epic isn't family, they are malignant.

If steam dies at least 95% of Reddit users will commit sepuku, this is the only way. I'm sorry Gaben, you have enough money to eat Doritos for the rest of your life so I hope you are not angry
Benjamin Carter
No, you don't understand. The reason ubisoft games are hidded because of uplay integration problems. Ubisoft games will all be made available for purchase after sale ends. This is all coincidence of course.

I had to go to twitter to figure out Observation is coming out May 21st.

It still took years retard. But you probably werent even born when Steam was first out, so it doesnt make a difference for you anyway
Thomas Powell
Some companies don't need to hold 3rd party titles hostage, or don't have to rip out support of or outright refuse software features and pro consumer tools. Some companies are not shitty console publishers.
James Davis
Pretty based desu, I wish more game stores did that I never prepurchase cause I hate paying fullprice. This might be the first time I prepurchase something in my life actually
Jose Gray
wever
Cooper Bell
So soon? Might pick it up then, it's like 9 euro.
Grayson Gonzalez
Buy Detroit instead retard
Juan Russell
It's the only game I'm actually considering here. Maybe Metro but I've heard bad things about it.
Grayson Turner
I'm also considering John Wick Hex, since I love Frozen Synapse style games and it's stupidly cheap. The only reason I haven't bought it yet is because there's no announced release date.
Carson Richardson
>the company that marketed themselves as "publishers/devs first, consumers second" just fucked their own shit up with the only people who were supporting them You can't make this shit up
Brody Collins
Kinda want to buy World War Z
Levi Gonzalez
Work on this a bit and you could have meme potential. Throw in some Kent State massacre action, or perhaps a little Tuskegee experiment.
Carson Green
You can buy it through the website (with the discount) but it's removed from the launcher. They're being snakes with this sale.
Well when you are the only store that matters you don't need to pay anyone to use you for use. I bet it's because valve are such a nice people not because they don't have to do anything
Ethan Evans
>thought Detroit is gonna be more expensive than that, get excited >check store >it's €40(-10) here Did you trick me or are they scamming yuropoors?
It's $39.99 ($29.99) on my launcher. Probably a bug.
Julian Torres
Do people actually believe that steam is dying? Valve has enought money in the bank to survive for years without making a profit having a competing store isn't going to immeadiately bankrupt them. It's not like most normalfags even care they'll just use both anyway.
I mean I would've bought it on a PS4 long ago if I owned one. Also it's gonna look better on PC so who gives a fuck. It might even have a photo mode. Also, mods
Ryan Murphy
They're shills.
Lincoln Bell
That's normal for re-releases. It's pretty shocking they're not charging $60 for the pc version actually.
Christian Myers
I already watched one outcome of David Cage's movie on Youtube, now I want to see the other endings. I know exactly what I'm buying. Sales shortly after or even before release are usually really rare so I thought why not.
Guys, what should I get? Sinking city or Control? Both cost about $10 for me (Russia). I could buy Metro Exodus ($12), but I never played previous games.
Most people overall dislike epic, it's just that here there's no "punishment" for rampant shitposting, why do you think there are so many people supporting epic here? Because it's an easy way to make people upset and they can even respond to their own bait with non arguments to try to create a flame war, it's very easy to build a narrative on Yea Forums.
