it was obvious to anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together that the platform has been trash and will continue to be trash for the consumer
if they did not have exclusives, there would be literally zero reason for the average normie to use the inferior store

They are a small indie company and cant afford such things.

They never appealed to devs.
Devs don't get a cent of the money from the games they make when they are sold.
They are paid during development like a normal job. Publishers get the money from sales and Epic pays the Publishers to keep their games on their platform.

Epic only supported the publishers.

They have fortnite money that they whip around with abandon to purchase timed exclusivity for their launcher.
Fucking Itch.io, a launcher for Indie shovelware, has a shopping cart.
Epic launcher has been around for 2 years at least.

Has Timothy blamed valve for this yet?

How does it take 6 months to implement wishlists. That seems like an incredibly simple thing to implement that one guy could do in a few days, if not an afternoon.

Did this kill all the Epic shills on Yea Forums?

Holy fuck. Now imagine all these people who actually shilled EGS and defended it because "Muh steam evil monopolists, must free PC gaming from That fat tyrant".

They put spyware on their launcher, they force exclusives by bribing publishers. They are trying to act like some kind of rebeliants against "steam tyranny" but they are the one who take hyped games as hostages only to put spyware in more computers.

And their launcher has no basic options or even decent security.

Literally EGS makes more and more fails over time and now this.
STEAM literally just did nothing and EGS just keeps hitting itself.

EGS is a comedy gold and common people defending them are Cucks, I bet they enjoy watching their wives getting gangbanged by bulls and they enjoy even more cleaning all mess they made.

EA, Ubisoft, and 2K do otherwise.
"Sweaty".
They "invest" by making them make another game in which they use a "portion" of that money to pay them. Like a normal job. While the CEOs get a fat paycheck for doing nothing.

Why did they pull? I don't understand.

Mate. Have you been watching Ubisoft?

They fucking made a deal with Epic so everybody would buy their games on Uplay. Just as this sale was going to happen Ubisoft JUST SO HAPPENED to bug out and will only come back AFTER THE SALE IS OVER.

EPIC PAYED MILLIONS FOR A MEASLY SIX MONTH EXCLUSIVITY DEAL FOR BL3

ubisoft secretly based & playing 4D chess

so what happened here is epic in their infinite wisdom decidede to puty games on sale not tell the pewople selling them anything about it and they got pissed? seems like a rookie mistake for a still rookie game store

>if you don't want to be a part of the sale literally your only option is just to delist your game form the store entirely
You basically have to engineer a storefront to be this awful, Jesus Christ

Reminder that even fucking Steam has a tip for devs to not do this shit.

>partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/discounts
>It's typically best to ease into discounting, and increase the level of discount over time. For example, a title might move from 33% to 50% to 66% to 75% and beyond, over the course of a year or more. Rushing into a 50% or 75% discount weeks after your launch, or releasing with a very high launch discount sends a bad message to customers who bought at full price and undermines the value of your title.

That was the case for Paradox. For Klei and Supergiant I think they didn't explain properly how the mechanics of sale worked.

Ironically Origin would be a decent launcher if it wasn't limited to mostly EA garbage.

He bought every game they have on the store. Why would he need to make a 6th purchase?

Last time I played bf4 it bugged out downloading the game and I had to go manually delete a bunch of files, it was a known years old bug. Literally never had any problems with steam.

chinks are always 10 steps behind.

Won't this turn even more publishers away from Epic? Who wants to partner up with a storefront that will willingly fuck you over without you knowing?

I've owned Outward on steam for a little while now
It's been super fun both singleplayer and co-op and we just found a mod that lets us set the co-op player limit to whatever we want

I hope you enjoy your game as much as I have

No one. Epic died right this very day

>if it wasn't limited to mostly EA garbage
This is the problem that people seem to forget. You can't make a brand new online store because nobody puts their games on it in the first place, Steam is all devs know and care about. You literally CAN'T compete with Steam without buying off other devs to put their games in your store.

EGS itself made a bad reputation and as Borderlands 3 show, the bad reputation also negatively affects game that are exclusive on EGS.

Publishers are greedy but they are not stupid.

The weird thing about this entire Epic shitshow is that the more Epic tries to smear Steam, the more people just realize just how much Steam actually does. Like some of my friends never payed attention to some of the shit steam did and just complained but these past few months they've figured out that the curator system is really good, that they were taking what steam did for controllers for granted, and fuck they even finally browse GOG too.

And now they're even checking the themed sales steam does. Fucking baffling.

Meanwhile my new steam account is 11 years old. So yes, rookie storefront.

Don't worry its not even for sale now. All the big name titles got pulled like Division 2. I wonder who is behind this mess, and who is in the legal right? I thought epic had the rights too sell these products.

You have to have someone be awful at something to understand how it should be done.

Steam forums are unironically great for really fucking niche and obscure games that only got released there. Especially for bug reports and having the dev actually reply to you.

Unless you are running an operating system that you coded on a cpu/mobo/gpu that you manufactured yourself, you already have spyware and back doors built in sweety.

Oh what is that? Yes it's actually competition instead of the fraudulent "competition" that Epic is engaging in, that is only even possible thanks to the government-granted monopoly that allows for exclusivity in the first place.

Fucking this. I got a bunch of issues solved with their forums as well as actually getting my feedback implemented into early access games.
It's also a great tool FOR THE DEVS to keep a track of shit in one place.

Isn’t this illegal? Or did the Publishers actually sign a paper saying that epic can sell their games any way they want because they wanted to say “fuck you valve” without reading the fine print.

I doubt it'll be anything major since most publisher don't care about reputation and are satisfied with the upfront exclusivity payment. Maybe kickstarted indie devs will think twice about it though.

You'd think they would just roll with it and simply cut the remaining sale days down drastically.

The most hilarious part is whenever I google how to fix a bug with a game the results almost always point me to a steam post. And if it's not a steam post, it's a leddit post that LINKS to a steam post.

Can someone in the know give me a breakdown on SuperGiants' deal? Is it EA only or not?

Wikipedia is a thing

EGS never rivaled steam, though.

Yeah. Hades is only exclusive during EA.

Nobody wants to download Steam either.

>without informing the publishers
Isn't that illegal?

B-But they gave so much money to the publishers! Surely that gives them pseudo-ownership while the exclusives are still on their store.

Maybe they don't care about reputation, but trust is still vital. Epic just pissed away a lot of trustworthiness.

It's more about the fact that Epic didn't even communicate properly with publishers for something as simple as a sale. They purposefully devalued Bloodline 2 to unreasonable degrees and it wasn't even out yet.

Why does the Epic Game Store actively make moves that creates a genuine hatebase and people that dislike the store? They can't possibly imagine that to be a winning strategy, can they?
Now imagine if they had used the same amount of crazy cash, but not been fucking assholes with it, they could have unironically been hailed as the unsung heroes of PC gaming. Especially after Valve quitting, then failing at game development again.

I want to hear Sweeney's hot take on this situation.

On the unlikely chance that EGS actually kicks the bucket. What happens to all the games there and their customers?

Has there been a case where a digital storefront completely died?

But for how long though?

if it makes you feel any better steam has workshop bugs that can just break updating a game entirely unless you clears slightly obscure cache (download cache? i think).
I can replicate this bug easily by just unsubscribing to a bunch of things while subbing to things in gmod. Causes an infinite loop of downloading something.

And no, any press is NOT good press. That whole "there's no such thing as bad publicity" bullshit is dead wrong and bad publicity has killed more companies than your shill ass can even name.

Remember, "12%" is still not actually sustainable. If you live outside of regions favored by Epic, they're offloading all transaction costs to you, making you pay more than you ever did on Steam.

You're a fool if you think nu-Steam sales aka 33% off is good.

If anything this has just reminded me how good we used to have it back in the day. I can't remember a time I've even cared to wait around during a steam sale now. Five or so years ago I'd have to make sure I kept to a budget and not bought shit I knew I'd never play just because it was 75% off. Now, if it isn't something I purposely held off on buying I just don't care.

There has never been a good warhammer game.

I'm actually glad flash sales are gone. Back when they were a thing, a sale was an "event" I had to take part in for days. Now I scroll through my wishlist once and know everything.

Steam sales are shit now because you already own everything and new games aren't going to be heavily discounted

This. Flash sales existed just so you would wait until the games you wanted went on a flash sale and then buy it in the last day because it didn't
Or you forgot about them, bought the game at 33% off and it went on a 75% on the flash sale and you'd cry.

That would require effort.

it's extremely illegal in the UK, possibly in the whole EU

>store.steampowered.com/sale/post_apocalyptic/

Lots of good games. Lots of discounts above 50% too surprisingly enough.

Yeah Steam sales these days are shit. New games are never discounted and old ones are just moderately off every season. Losing limited time flash sales was a big blow as well.

>Put games on sale
>Storefront isn't in flames
How do they do it bros. asking for a friend

Epic Games is incredibly incompetent. It seems they relegated members of Fortnite team to set up the store, because everything about it is a disaster.
No shopping cart, can't find games, Windows 8 tile design, etc. Just open website for any store for anything and it looks better than this.

That's just the business as usual and its one of the prime reason people get steam in the first place

The dirt cheap game make pirating feel like wasting your time instead

Tim Sweeny is a gaping vagina being filled by daddy Tencent's syphilis-ridden cock.

A smart opponent watches for just that and prepares to mobilize as soon as he realises there's a real threat, all the while saving resources that would have been spent fighting blind and potentially unnecessarily. Not that there seems to be a chance of that happening here.

I find steam to be very interactive to be honest.
Bought My Time At Portia on steam, but one of the missions
where you save the tree farm had a bug so i posted it on the forum
and the dev actually responded that they would release a patch soon.

Who the fuck think discounting new game is a good deal?

That's just you being greedy

>get lucky
it wasn't luck that Epic knew exactly how big PUBG was becoming and ripped literally every feature from it and added it to their shitty PvE fort-building game.

Is it true the EGS is so badly designed they literally struggle to add games to it? Like they aren't actually being selective because of curation they simply can't handle the volume of submissions.

You're correct. Most of the indie developers are pretty active in Steam forum.

This just seems so right. Claim they are better then steam yet can't even do the basics steams been doing since launch

Just look at what's happening now.

Games are literally getting removed from their store because they're not supposed to be on sale.
Fucking imagine delisting your game on a fucking store just because you didn't opt in with the sale.

Fucking imagine.

Bloodlines 2 and I think Oxygen Not Included and Pheonix Point as well, maybe more I'm not aware of. There's for sure 2.

>They purposefully devalued Bloodline 2 to unreasonable degrees and it wasn't even out yet.
given the aggressive regional pricing on it I don't think paradox has much confidence in it in the first place
it's straight up retarded how their response to publishers not wanting their games to be on sale is to straight up remove it though, how do you make a storefront like that?
new games are discounted just as fast because they're selling like shit

Try looking for any Ubisoft game

>the game’s current value in Early Access
>Early Access
That value is 0. People actually pay to bug test games?

You can actually still buy ubisoft games, they're just not on the storefront and can't be searched.

O LAWD IZZAT SUM EPIC FAIL GUY

This whole sale thing is a mess, and I doubt they were planning on raising the price right at this moment.
That said it's been "early access" standard to have the game at a lower price early in the early access and higher close to and ultimately at release. They've stated this up front ahead of time too. Version 1.0 will be more expensive and the price will keep rising until they hit 1.0.

since everyone knows you have to use their launcher most people abandon buying games their games on EGS so they get the full 100% cut, whoever decided on this strategy for the company is going to get a big fucking raise/promotion

I'm not so sure about Epic anymore lads.

Like it's been half a year already, most of their exclusives are already slowly getting ready to ship out to stores outside of Epic and the only thing their store has really bragged about is WWZ selling 250k copies. Ubisoft -- one of the few big publishers they partnered are literally only using them to shill Uplay and this will probably be the same for every other AAA studio that might think of partnering with them. Also, for as much as Randy says bullshit on twitter, Borderlands 3 only has a six month exclusivity deal. Six months for arguably one of the more high profile games of this year. Not even a year. And as a side note, Japanese developers are still 100% going to flock to steam from the success of Capcom and Sekiro alone.

Then we go to the idea of exclusivity in the first place. Metro Exodus already has DLC coming next year, BL3, Outer Worlds, etc. will probably get expansions too. These DLCs will drop right after they come out of exclusivity, then doesn't it seem like it's 100% better to just wait for it? Not even mentioning their stance on curation, they said they won't be adding trash and while they certainly aren't adding any shovelware, this sale highlights just how mediocre their catalog is. The more they try to emulate the thing steam does or the more they try to berate steam, the more people realize just how much steam actually does. They're ironically steam's best marketing strategy right now.

And now with all this shit around the sales happening, I'm really not sure any more.
They really are just becoming "yeah that's just another launcher to pay attention to" instead of them actually trying to challenge steam but instead of Origin/Uplay/Battlenet/etc. they're just "that launcher that supports UE games", or "that launcher where people beta test and exclusive game".

I mean, who even gives a fuck about the 12% cute anymore? It seems like all the news sites already stopped giving a fuck about it.

man, those were the times

any publicity is good publicity
in a way they're right but it's possible to fuck up bad enough that they lose money on this, for example if peoples accounts get hacked because their security is shit then there's no money to be made there unless they're draining people's banks themselves

Doesnt matter how long you have to wait for it to come out onto other launchers it shouldn't be accepted even if its obly a 1 day exclusivity

Imagine how once EB crashes, all those exclusives will come crawling back to steam.

I had a conversation with my friend about this. He was wondering why Valve haven't really acknowledged any of the epic store shite but what do they honestly even need to do at this point? Epic has surrounded themselves with poor press due to their own incompetence. Valve are sitting pretty.

Steam does similar things. For example, if you buy multiple copies of a game and then gift them all to other people that's considered "suspicious behavior" and your account will be flagged.

I'm surprised it was available at all with a discount considering it's not even released yet.

he is getting old, and because of that, he is losing weight, he is probably at its lower weight in his entire life.

What are you talking about? Bethesda still has games exclusive to their store. They never really left Steam, much less went crawling back. They just keep the online games they run exclusive to their launcher.

nope. Lurk moar, seething shill

Is it just not displayed on store or you can't pay for it?
Because it is displayed on my end and it has a discount.

it's still there, it's discounted, AND randy shilled it

>he is probably at its lower weight in his entire life.

He's still obese. Gabe Newell used to be of normal weight. He became morbidly obese after he quit Microsoft and stopped having to work for a living.

Steam is fucking shit! yet no body can fucking beat them, Its like they aren't even trying to do better than steam.
So if steam is shit, and you cant even beat that, what does that make you?

>OH NO NO NO NO NO, THEY ACTUALLY BOUGHT OUR GAMES, I-IS THIS FRAUD? GOOD THING WE DON'T HAVE A SHOPING CART, QUICK SHUT IT DOWN!

>handicap Olympics
>implying

nobody but Epic enrolled in that race though.
Origin/Uplay etc. are created mostly to hold monopoly on their respective creator's best franchise
GoG is the best out of all since they don't try too hard to force their storefront onto their users
And steam isn't retarded enough to play along with Epic's chink money burning tactics.

>These DLCs will drop right after they come out of exclusivity
is it confirmed? consoles can have time-exclusive post launch content too, it'd be incredibly stupid of Epic to not secure exclusivity for those too
I am sure they actually complained when the Metro shit happened because of how sudden it was
they probably want to focus on actually doing shit like Index though, even if it isn't developing video games

So at what point does a game store think it's reasonable to go:
>Someone is buying more than one game? Pic related.

They should have used squarespace, shopping cart comes with it.

So if you already preordered it epic give you $10?

Hasn't stopped Epic from doing it during the Steam sale many many times

Jesus Christ, Tim. What the fuck are you doing?

Is this fucking real? How could a company with pockets as deep as EPIC take any longer than a month to get that shit done.
Very very low energy

You say that like Yea Forums is a great source for accurate information instead of just being full of retards like yourself who spout off utter bullshit.

It took Steam 10 years to let you have more than one steamfolder to install games in. 10 fucking years of people having to install all their games in 1 location.

Hahaha, well memed Randy, well see you on gog and/or steam!

They are managed/funded by chinks

In their homeland their users are expected to be fucked over daily because the upper-management only listens to the gommies who enact stupid laws banning things they don't like, they don't expect customers to actually punch back so they never cared enough to make postie changes.

Doesnt anyone rememeber what a mess Steam was in its infancy?

He went into detail on H3. They cut his face open, pulled his teeth out and bolted these in.
Stupid fuck couldn't shut his mouth for a few days to recover, kept bleeding

Irrelevant. Ebin is attempting to compete with Steam of 2019, not with Steam of 2006.

It's not 2003 anymore. You'd think that there are people in tech business of 2019 who know how to create functioning online stores without having to go through baby steps where everything is unknown.

I don't' think so desu
LoL is mostly the same after all these days, every month fortnite adds some autistic shit that pisses off pros and casuals alike, eventually they will quit because all the autistic gadgets take away from the core BR experience.

so were most other storefronts but they didn't make a fuss about themselves

Doesn't matter, if they want to compete with 2019 Steam they should at the very least match the quality of Steam instead of just making Steam look better by comparison

i didnt even knew about the sale.
for me the most important thingg today is that Guacamelee is free on the humble store.

Razer store got closed
I dunno if they actually made any sales

im just going to download it, if its alright then i might buy it

>i was taught how to make a shopping cart as one of my first programming exercises when i was 15
Sure would have been nice if my 4 year CS degree actually taught me something practical like that.

It is not at all comparable to use a company getting started in the 2000s, especially when not much, if anything, like it existed at the time, to another company trying nowadays. They have all the ground already built up by their predecessors to stand on. I mean, for fuck's sake, what kind of online store for ANYTHING doesn't even have a goddamn shopping cart?

Bethesda came graveling back to Steam after their launcher failed, and that UI update from a while back also hinted that EA is also coming back into the fray.

Yeah, Steam sucked. But implementing basic e-commerce features today is not even remotely difficult. Random ma and pa stores do it easily. Epic should be able to.

>has millions of dollar to buy exclusivity
>doesn´t have any money for a working store

>and that UI update from a while back also hinted that EA is also coming back into the fray.

does Steam has Tencent, a 3127(THREE THOUSAND AND ONE HUNDRED TWENTY SEVEN BILLION)B RMB behind his back during its infancy?

good try though shill

Attached: p05nrbv2.jpg (640x360, 19K)

With all the money Epic has why don't they just hire a couple of extra IT interns for a weak and at least get the basic features like a shopping cart up? Adding in those basic features really isn't that hard

I don't want steam from 2006 today, nor do I want software that doesn't have features that Steam had back in the 2006.

EA left because of Valve policies regarding DLC sales. Valve hasn't changed those policies. EA is not going to come back for any game where that's going to be an issue, i.e. 90% of them. Why would EA come back anyway? Origin hasn't been an enormous failure for them. Origin exclusive games are routinely top selling games. EA does something Valve doesn't to keep people on their platform. They actually make games.

>EA Makes games
I really hate you for even introducing such idea into peoples minds, EA is a predatory publisher that buys companies out and kills them for following their orders.

Reminder that Epic literally has no automated API for updating games on their store and they have to have someone do it manually. If they release games too fast it would stop another game from being updated.

Nah, as long as you react in time for when your opponents develop things that are popular and use your larger resources to make a better version.

It's like how large mining companies only buy up land when some small-time operation finds something on their small claim, then the big corps buy up all the mining rights to the land surrounding that claim, basically forcing that small operation out of their claim and nabbing all the rock money.

Once you're on top, you have to really not want to try to stay there for you to fall.

Yeah, Valve has done that too. How do you think they acquired Team Fortress? Counter-strike? Left 4 Dead? DOTA? Valve is an acquisition company as well. And they shit these games up with micro-transactions, often involving content made by the community and not actually Valve themselves, i.e. paid mods. How the fuck is Valve sacred when they do this sort of shit? Are you a shill or just meme spouting retard?

more like EPIC MEGA FAIL

I think it's pretty obvious that the benefit of taking a higher cut means you can better develop and support your platform to make a robust and enjoyable experience, not only for shopping but for playing and enjoying games.

Valve bought right to CS, Invited TF team to work for them for money, L4D no idea, Invited IceFrog to work on DOTA2 with Valve and they didn't fire anyone for under performing.

It was also first of its kind and still finding itself. Others don't have that excuse. They have guidelines which to IMPROVE on and they can't even do that.

You joke but I'm job hunting right now, and a new EG store focused internship for this fall popped up in my search yesterday
This shit is so rushed it's not even funny, even the fucking internships are on the roadmap

That's probably because they want to monitor the content that is being put on their site. Nintendo and Sony do the same thing. I remember one dev complaining it took Nintendo literally weeks to update a store page. Valve don't care about looking after their store.

Yea, but that was how long ago user, how does that excuse it? "It's worse because it's new, so people should use it!" isn't really a valid reason to swap, you want reasons here:
Why should I use gog over steam:
>No DRM, you can play your games without a store.
Okay, why should I use "EPIC STORE":
>Uhh, we give you free games as a reward for putting up with us.
Fair enough. Why should I use Uplay?
>BECAUSE WE SAY SO, AND WE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO PLAY ANY OF OUR GAMES WITHOUT IT, EVEN IF YOU BUY OUR GAME ON A STORE, WE'LL FORCE YOU TO INSTALL UPLAY TO USE OUR GAME, GET DESTROYED KID!
Disgusting, but what can you do? Why should I use bethesda store?
>Because Todd said buy fallout 76.
Now that's a based reason.

Any decent CS degree covers that in the database and weblanguage lecture.

I guess epic really cares a lot because every fucking thing they do takes so long
I bet this week's fuck up delayed their roadmap by an entire week, based on this

League is different from Fortnite even if they both are derivative games that successfully managed to leech off very popular games, because in LoL you can autistically devout months of your life to learn a single champion and you'll get consistent results, and you have more than 100 to choose for such an endeavor. In Fortnite it's always the same: build and shoot until there's no one left. There's no depth and since the drops are random you can get fucked if you get no good loot or the other players holed up in a very nasty spot. It's too simple to keep people hooked to it for years, unlike ASSFAGGOTS that can be made fresh again with one or two big balance patches that change how the champions work.
