Why is it that gane journalism is perpetuating this hate towards the EGS?

The news is literally the headline
>This is bad news

>>every single game on the store is on sale for amazing
the discounts where in fact so amazing even the Publishers where surprised by it and pulled their games

So you admit that the deals are great.

This is a paid thread by an advertiser / market influencer, who correctly identifies that Yea Forums doesn't like game journalism, but don't realise that Yea Forums opposes the Epic Games Store for much of the same reasons, and "the enemy of my enemy" does not apply when they're both shite.

Anyway, since the bot posting this thread clearly doesn't know, I'll spell it out.
Epic does not allow users to communicate with eachother, to band together, and to organise review bombs or widespread dissent to the customers getting screwed over.
A lack of accountability leads to abuse of power, and publishers are lacking in accountability.
Furthermore they don't have Loli. No Loli No Buy.

They had to remove shopping carts because they were rendered irrelevant by quadcrashers.

In before predictable response that addresses NONE of the points I made, and instead tries to attack my popularity or my mental stability.

>Furthermore they don't have Loli. No Loli No Buy.
Why are you pedophiles allowed to post on Yea Forums?

>but they'll fix it
Doesn't change the fact that they fucked up.
>but the store will eventually get essential features
Doesn't change the fact that the store is currently worse than every other storefront.
Steam just released a beta of steam in which you can use remote streaming anywhere with an internet connection. What''s Epics next promised feature? A fucking SHOPPING CART.

great for making Epic look like major amatuers

Because Yea Forums is not a communist shithole that bans you for liking things. Begone.

>please corporations, charge me MORE for games!

>Begone.
Yea Forums is not a capitalist shithole that bans people for disagreeing with you, so there is nothing you can do to make me leave.

gottem

>please epic, don't sell the games i want!

Looks like neither of us win this round.

>ahahahaha, I'm sure announcing a sale without asking the company whether we can mark down the price will not piss them off

>EGS is great for the developers and publishers, they deserve more money than they got on steam
>FUCK THE DEVELOPERS AND PUBLISHERS WE DO WHAT WE WANT
stick to a script shill

Everyone gets the same result so this is actually a resounding success for socialism.

They're being critical of epic because they pissed off the AAA overlords, who are the only reason they shilled it and shat on steam in the first place.

I like how when EGS is getting flak it's now a narrative where journalist are in the wrong when they've been getting paid to shill for that store and shit on steam for god knows how long.

fug

They report on anything that is trendy, to get clicks.
Hating on EGS is popular right now, so they cash in on it.

>EGS bans you for buying too much
That's simply not true. Name me one incident, where someone got banned and not unbanned after they reviews this persons case.

There are always some automated systems to try to prevent scam, but if you are buying a product with a real and working payment method, I can guarantee you that you will either never get banned or instantly unbanned if some automated system is in place.

But there are exceptions like Blizzard. In Blizzard games you can get banned if enough people falsely reported you. Why is there no outcry? Oh right, Steamcucks know Blizz games will never be on Steam so they just ignore them.

I hate all those shitty click bait. Just watch anti EGS videos and you realize they are just jumping on the easy money maker.

Even this fat communist youtuber who bitches always against capitalism has literally said that the EGS is bad because they want to sell you games for cheaper than the publisher want... I can't even describe how 180 degree even communist cucks go just so they can make a negative video against the EGS and call this "journalism". The EGS could literally kill Trump, give everyone the $15+++ minimum wage and rob the rich for the poor and sjw would still insult the EGS as bad because this gives more views than simply saying "The EGS is good and now we even get games much cheaper before they are even out". The EGS isn't the savior of mankind, but Steam isn't good either and if something is wrong with you Steam account, you literally need Jesus to get this problem solved.

What dead indie game is it?

Reddit spacing

Oh buddy there's a lot more than that.

>outrage
I'm so fucking mad that a random dude got ban for buying too many games too quickly.

Shoo shoo Shill

some Megaman clone that sold like 300 copies on steam
the shill also always ignore the fact that the developer got noticed for it and is working at Capcom now

T. Valve shill

why is there no shopping cart to avoid this?

sorry lad i also have GoG and Uplay next to my Steam
i only avoid shit services like Epic and Origin

Well I will say, it was understandable at first that they were lacking basic features because they just launched and wanted to sell games before they had any real infrastructure down, but the Epic Store has been a thing for like 5 months now? And they still are missing a ton of basic things like a shopping cart. So they no longer have the "we're new at this" excuse. There is no way it takes five fucking months to code basic features. "We're new at this" was always a bullshit excuse anyway because just because YOUR store is new doesn't mean you can't look at what other people are doing and do that too. It's an argument that pretends your thing is the only thing that exists and it's just fucking dishonest. But then again this is the company that has the most popular game of all time and has not figured out a way to add text chat to it after an entire year, despite the other mode of their game ACTUALLY HAVING TEXT CHAT, which they had to remove because it was so flooded by bots and they couldn't figure out how to deal with it, so actually it really wouldn't surprise me if they couldn't figure out how to code some basic fucking things. It's depressing when stupid people have a lot of money.

There so much more to it I'll die before I finish posting links to the archives of infinite spam that's been going since December 2018.
It's not just your 3 points.

Oh I think I know what game you mean, although I've literally never heard anyone talk about it. Why does the shill keep bringing it up though?

>the shill also always ignore the fact that the developer got noticed for it and is working at Capcom now
>ignore
he twists it into a fucking bad thing because muh indie

I don't know and I don't care

There's a screenshot of him saying "thanks for 100 sales" or some such and the shill tries to spin it as "hey look games don't even sell on steam HAHAHA please ignore the fact that this fuck didn't advertise his shitty game maker Megaman clone but somehow got hired by Capcom anyway."

>and has not figured out a way to add text chat to it after an entire year,
i dont play Fagnite but this cant be real nigga, UT had a fucking text chat is the entire Fortnite team made up of interns?

It's real, the only way you can communicate is via voice chat. I think the real reason they do it is because it gives them less work to do banning people, people barely talk on voice chat.

so you dont want to acknowledge the main problem here

You cant expect people to take your word when you post such retarded shit.

Uplay atleast has a shopping cart and search function

Its a crime

Never said that, I don't use them. Why would I care about what others use? Should I also care about lack of Linux support in epic even tho I dont use linux? Should I care about forums even tho I don't use them? What in it for me

>Should I care about forums even tho I don't use them?
Bro you are literally on a forum right now.

>neutral headline literally just stating in the most neutral way possible what happens
>"HURR DURR WHY ALL THE HATE?!"
fag

Should be pretty obvious I'm talking about lack of forums in epic

It's not hate, it's a public advisory. Apparently if you try to buy 5 games from EGS in rapid succession it will block your account. According to Epic it's because that triggers their fraud detection systems.

So again, it's not hate. It's matter-of-factly stating what happens.

you are free not to care
just dont act surprised when most of the world isnt happy with lacking basic features

More often than not steam forums are the only place obscure indie titles have actual topics regarding bug reports/troubleshooting. Smaller devs also use them a lot to reply to their playerbase especially when they don't use either discord or leddit.

These forums also serve as a pool of troubleshooting shit. If you have a problem chances are someone's already asked it one steam and the solution is already there for you to use. And again, this is especially true really obscure games.

last time i replayd GTA 3 i needed compatibility mods and one of the top threads of the steam forums was a compatibility mod compilation
how people say steam forums are a bad thing perplexes me

>how people say steam forums are a bad thing perplexes me

B-BUT REDDIT AND DISCORD

While this is a fair point we have yet to see any actual obscure indie titles released on the Epic Games store. Every game is by some prominent dev that has a Discord or Subreddit or something where you can easily contact them.

>how people say steam forums are a bad thing perplexes me
Timmy boi said steam forums are bad because "THERE IS ALREADY MUH SELECTION OF FORUMS THAT WE DON'T NEED ONE". And it works for him, especially whenever there's a giveaway on epic botnet store all people come to steam forums for all the help with game's problems.
Just shows a way he can save some money to not break his glorified and "totally sustainable" 12% cut.

I find it funny how Tim thinks reddit is a more pro-developer alternative to Steam forums when there were incidents where developers got booted off their own subreddits, like Phoenix Point.

It's going to be interesting to see how things play out. I think people are seriously underestimating just how many people there are in the world throwing money at video games. All these storefronts that "surely should have died by now" are still going. These big companies make way more money than people are imagining and it's very difficult for any of them to truly fail. The only people who struggle are indie devs that rely on purchases. Corporations are practically invincible.

>This thread is not full of retards screaming at each other
America is asleep i assume?

The #1 reason I use steam forums is for fixes, mods, and possible issues. Its never failed me once and its quick and easy to search.

Well yes, it's 3-6 AM in America, but there were some retards earlier so probably some insomniac Americans around.

>when there were incidents where developers got booted off their own subreddits
It's worse than that. The way my higher up explained the situation to me, we're not "allowed" to have an official subreddit, as in our company cannot start one up and moderate it with our own people. We can however, have a fan reddit and be moderators on it, thereby making it "official".

>capitalist
>shithole
Please think before posting

More like you need to be a drone at this point to keep overlooking how awful and incompetent EGS is ran.

It's actually against the reddit tos to get paid to moderate a reddit, you have to do it for free. Which was a problem in the case of pheonix point when one of the mods revealed he was getting paid, in the middle of accusations of being a community manager who treats the community like shit no less.

ftfy drone

How have you been on this site since 2016 and you have no idea who Plunkett works for?

user that's literally how sales and marketing work. Hell that's how business works, why the fuck do you think there are regulations in place on the marketing of alcohol and cigarettes? Good advertising campaigns could turn a whole country into drunk smokers in a week, which is why it's not allowed.

valve tries to instill in users an emotional dependence on steam, hence all the profile, level, trading card etc. shit that serves to chain the addicts to the platform. So when something, anything, comes to challenge this and suggest that maybe centralization isn't such a good idea since not having that is kind of the point of PC as a platform, the slaves naturally screech and rattle their cages. Too bad the challengers are just another hopefuls trying to become the supreme overlords of the PC platform, instead of trying to make people realize that everyone loses with DRM and digital marketplaces being tied to the actual games in any way.

the way Epic Games manages its programmers reminds me of a noob playing an RTS. Instead of learning how to micromanage, Tim Swiney will just select his whole army (programmers) and right click on Fortnite, with very few people left working on improving the EGS to be more competitive

>Giving people a lot of features for your service is instilling emotional addiction

Fuck epic shill, steam is awesome. tiaman square

>tfw I'm a brainlet that plays RTS games like this

idk why are you defending a platform that is objectively worse than steam

lmao everything is emotional dependence at this point

This is probably true. Say what you will about Fortnite's quality as a game but it is one of the best optimized games I've ever seen. Bugs are rare and whenever they pop up they're fixed incredibly quickly, often within a couple hours. Meanwhile the EGS is a disaster.

Tim Sweeney deserves your neetbux

When it comes to games yes, i'm not a retard who is collecting bad games for the sake of it.

that doesn't change the fact that the epic store is less than a year old

>Why is it that gane journalism is perpetuating this hate towards the EGS?

I think I know the answer to this one but does Epic have a player tracker?

Much like Steam, I think it's pretty important to know how many players are in-game especially for multiplayer titles.

I keep up with when my games receive updates and patch the client and games ahead of time. I'm not an idiot.

I will admit something about the Epic client though that I've never seen anyone say because nobody else actually uses it. Which is that it patches really fucking slowly for some reason. I have Fortnite on both my Switch and my PC and I've consistently noticed that a patch that takes 5-10 minutes on the Switch will take 20-30 minutes on PC.

you are lucky if Epic releases actual sales numbers

What is that?

WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS, XHAO

Didn't the steamspy dude say that wishlists are predatory or something?

user, after boasting "we have 4.5 million free downloads of Subnautica", they are scared to reveal Metro Exodus' sales. And considering they boasted about WWZ selling 250k, Exodus is probably less. On top of that, they said it sold 2.5 times of Last Light, which sold 25k-50k which means Exodus at a minimum of 62k and a maximum of 125k.

Subnautica shilling is hilarious too because the devs whine about "evil white slavery" but defend China.

He is a massive shitposter and shouldn't be listened to.

After so many threads related to EGS going the way they do any normal person would fuck off to reddit already where you can find a subreddit about sucking egs off and have discussions about discussions.

Why on earth do you know what the Subnautica devs think of slavery? Do you voraciously follow their Twitter or what?

>block your account
temporarily block you from making purchases while they ensure you aren't committing fucking fraud. Of all the fucking things to complain about, why would they complain about this? It doesn't stop you from playing games.

So did you retards not read why the devs pulled their games off the Epic store? You can't slash the price of unreleased games, it devalues the product and conditions people not to buy your products unless they are on heavy discount from day 1, which really hurts the devs because day 1 sales are usually where the majority happen. So even if Epic pays off the loss on the first one, people will start asking for cheap AAA games in the future if they keep doing it and the AAA devs obviously don't want that.

Sorry but this board isn't a capitalist shithole so we will discuss what we want where we want and you cannot stop us.

Wait. If Last Light only sold 25k, and that was enough to justify a sequel... then that's actually pretty damn good that it sold 2.5 times as much. The number doesn't sound impressive next to World War Z's numbers but by the Metro series standards that's pretty solid.

Anything to hate games journalism, apparently. Logic be damned.

>So why the headline, the hate? Why the lack of understanding of how this stuff works
Somehow every other store in the universe figured out how carts work before launching but the guys who are sitting on unlimited piles of money from UE and Fortnite somehow can't spare the budget for basic store features. This certainly deserves a certain amount of ridicule and disdain.

They've shilled EGS for months now. And, the games media has hated Valve for over a year ever since they stated that they wouldn't be policing content on their store (only removing and banning objectively illegal content).
So please tell us again how games journalists are pro Valve and anti EGS.

This is basically an instance of required reporting, that if ignored, they'd lose clicks.

Not wrong. The amount of wealth the average chink has is ZERO. Everybody in that nation is fucking broke.
Communism will always collapse into a country with a totalitarian govt that overloads its broke af citizens with propoganda because they have all the money and resources, so dissenters cant afford to voice their opinions. Just because all chinks and North koreans say communism is great (probably because big brother told them to say so if they wanted to keep their internal organs) doesnt mean they're right

Redux sold plenty. I think if their numbers for exodus are accurate to last light sales, exodus had a90% drop in sales from its last installment.

Which is embarrassing.

They should do this for EA too

Or, here's a more realistic thought: They meant the sales were 2.5x as much as Redux's sales.

Well why didn't they mention it then? Epic loves flaunting numbers.

If something as low as 250k for WWZ got a shout out why did Metro get a vague estimation?

>Not wrong. The amount of wealth the average chink has is ZERO.
That's not what I've heard. Latest reports I've seen is that China is in middle of ridiculous housing bubble, with thousands of empty sky-scrapers being built with nobody living in them.
Why are these huge houses being built if nobody lives in them, you ask? Because people still keep buying the apartments, since they have heard that value of apartments has to go up. This got so bad that Chinese government passed a law stating that single family can only own certain amount of apartments. The Chinese solved this hurdle by divorcing en-masse, so that former husband and wife could both own more apartments.
Now you're wondering that where is the space for these sky-scrapers coming from then? Well, China had lots of farm land, but farming isn't exactly lucrative anymore, so farmer are selling their land for construction companies. But not before they have filled the former pastures with shanty-buildings, because value of land is based on how many floors the buildings which are there have. So even land completely un-usable crap building can be sold more than totally flat farmland.
And this shit just keeps going.

China is fucking fucked, man.

Name one time a PC port has ever been bad. Just one.

The Wii U was actually the last actual console ever made.
Offered perfect backward compatibility.
Offered even the ability to play literally all previously purchased digital Wii games.
Offered a real small fee for optionally upgrading to Wii U versions.

Customers: "oh fuck that, we want to buy everything once again"
Customers: "and we love buying ports of older games for full price over and over again" (because almost nothing new is actually made)

Yep, armor and weapons took damage multiplied by the number of frames they intersected one another during each attack.

In case of Steam that's actually what monopoly is.

I blame the idiotic consumers.

It's shills though. Because even overwatch was shilled to the point that the board was nothing but threads about that God awful game.
Post release it just nose dived in thread counts. It certainly was popular enough at launch that people were still talking about it, but pre and post launch was like night and day.
I really had to admit that the shilling is real and that game companies definitely come here.

You have selective memory. I saw tons of Overwatch threads after release. It was only after a month or so, when people realized the game wasn't getting any new content, that the threads died out.

Go away shill.

>All threads about $something are made by shills

Lurk moar.

Majority marketshare is not the same as monopoly you brainlet.
Every non valve title released on steam affords a developer the ability to generate keys by which they can sell their game directly, or via third party sites.
The only stipulation valve has for this is that any sale on their own site, or on a third party site should be available on steam as well (if the sales are covering steam keys).
If the developer on the other hand chooses to distribute non steam versions of their title, then they can charge whatever they want.
The idea being that steam keys provide value in valve covering the server costs for downloads and updates, where the developer is handling the server distribution costs on versions without a steam key themselves.

So, let me get this straight, Tim, you shit on Steam for being a monopoly, but also dismiss Valve's move to make Linux a viable alternative for gaming for 'being a waste of money', despite also having whined that Microsoft is a monopoly?

Cheaper prices, there it is.
Makes all of your homo points be gone.
I don't want to pay for shit, that homosexuals use.
I also don't pay for dildos.

Maybe I'm actually you?
Maybe you are actually me.
Maybe you are actually a shill wanting to keep this thread up?

I'm bumping because it's funny (admittedly I am legit retarded). Especially since "game journalists" have been sucking Epic Games off so much that one dude trying to offer the tiniest bit of constructive criticism seems like Literally Hitler to EGS shills.

Good joke, OP.

I’m not personally incurring the costs, neither are the people benefiting from this. It is a free initiative to the consumer.

Doing better than Steam on launch. The client used to crash when clicking trough simple menus.

The alternative is me paying those same prices and the company not spending the money on anything. 60 dollar games has been standard for almost as long as I’ve been alive, and I don’t see that price going down. Epic certainly hasn’t given me any price cuts.

>In the case of AC:Unity, the positive review spike looks significant in the Recent Reviews view, but in the overall Review Score it only shifted from 59.7% up to 61%, both of which are squarely in the Mixed reviews bucket.

Oh wow. It's fucking nothing. Only a literal retard would buy a game based only on the recent reviews. Not that EGS would know about that since their store has no review system in place

>crash when clicking trough simple menus.
Epic can't do anything right.
NOT EVEN CRASHING WHEN CLICKING.
Amateurs.

>perpetuating
lol faggot journos LOVE the Epic Games Store because it's anti-consumer and we all know how much journos hate consumers (AKA their audience). They want EGS to surpass Steam because it won't let you post reviews (that's for professional cuck journalists with a masters in gender studies to do, not some dumb gamer retards!) and keeps anything resembling a sex game far, far away.

Good job, you outdid an ancient experimental platform, but it’s 2019 now and you are trying to release into the market with a shitty platform. Near every other platform in recent years launched in a better state.

sorry if I'm taking longer cause I'm playing KCD on my first monitor

Epic takes less money.
Blame the devs for keeping it.

Got a new thing to add to my filter thanks op

>actual rational discussion of the hazards of data analysis, such as distinguishing "review bombs" posted by fanatical brigades pushing politics from legit mass approval from people that will actually buy games
>this is proof of Valve's corruption
and that's why we keep reaching conclusions you think we shouldn't reach, and why you think you're the only person that read it and sees the problem that isn't actually there

Journalism of all kinds can sometimes fall into a trap of reporting the obvious, but what is obvious for some folks may not be for others, and this is disseminating information for folks who may not be well aware of things.

If you're seeing a lot of truthful articles, but those articles are showing off a negative thing, it may not be because the Journalists have a bone to pick - it could just be that the company in question is just making a lot of dumbshit decisions.

Which is what the EGS has done - As a neutral party, it looks pretty backwards to not even have a damn shopping cart function built in.

That’s not how this works, epic could easily negotiate better prices while keeping the dev’s cut identical. They put no work in for me while simultaneously giving me none of the benefits I have come to expect. I have no reason to use their platform, and have many reasons to avoid using it.

>EGS shill think he will get people to his side by shitting on journos
LOL, smooth brain move right there. Tip for you shill, both journos and egs are shit, try a new strategy.

>dev's cut
It's actually the devs game.
Epic takes less.
In fact way less.
Devs being 100%-greedy and take all, instead of splitting w/ their customers.
>Epic should
That's not how that works.

That’s completely how that works, you fag. Epic does no work for the consumer.

>tons of negative reviews are a "review bomb"

Let me mirror that

Hilarious clown world.

Let’s mirror that again
>takes less fees, still maintains identical prices
>disallows reviews in the first place

>Epic works less for the customer than Valve does
