So Epic doesn't care who has the games as long as it's not Steam?

who in their fuck mind cares about some shitty ass coridor fps game?
people are bored of them by now, fuck off

It's not really corridor

Non-retards who actually tried the game. I understand you are not in that demographic.

Steam is the store that everyone wants to dethrone. All others are meme tier, except maybe gog.

Exclusion deals not Exclusive.

It's been Epics MO since the beginning.

MS Store is basically meaningless, it’s only Steam that matters. It’s telling how Ebin Games has no problems with Ubisoft selling their games on Uplay without any third party storefront on middle, but they can’t have the same games on Steam.

>So Epic doesn't care who has the games as long as it's not Steam?
Pretty much. It never was about the cut; it's about getting rid of Steam and taking over its market.

Gog has heart and soul but let's not pretend that it isn't meme tier

>Pretty much. It never was about the cut; it's about getting rid of Steam and taking over its market.
And all those people defending Epic with the only excuse of the developer cut gets btfo with this.

Trying to shove steam out of the market has always been the main goal.

>developer cut

Its hilarious as most stories about their deals have the developers coming out post announcement saying "we had no idea this was happening until today as well"

1989 Tianamen Square Massacre
Free Tibet
Democracy
Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomus Region
The Great Leap Forward

Still won’t buy it until it’s on Steam

Yea, we all know that the "developer cut" is actually more money for the publishers with literally not a single cent going to developers.
But shills spam that 12% so hard that it's fun watching Epic itself disprove their only argument in the Epic vs Steam debate.

Reminder that Tim Sweeney is an anglo and China doesn’t care

Didn't this happen with The Outer Worlds?

But it already was on Steam. Why didn't you buy it then?

Yep. They were even working on steam achievements mere hours before the EGS exclusive announcement dropped.

>pre-ordering games

I don’t do preorders because it’s a dumb decision

one of the outer worlds devs showed his dissatisfaction with the decision on discord
metro writer also did the same on instagram

If I were a newcomer developer I would take Epic's exclusivity deal (unless it was a crowdfunded game because the backers already took the monetary risk).
If I were a established developer I would either publish my game on both or just on Steam.

Who decided this, then? The publisher? They should give the dev house a heads up for the platform their fucking game is going to be on

Anna is a cute!

>Not pre-ordering an evolution of cheeki breeki

Do you even squat?

The publisher did.

why did they do this?
weren't they boasting about sales weeks ago?
why do they need to sell it on store with bigger cut?

Preordering is a dumb decision no matter what, dumb fanboy

>you can get Exodus on the worst PC storefront or the other worst PC storefront
I love how the Microsoft Store is so shit that no one even considers it competition.

Are you like legally retarded, there's no fucking way they could get rid of steam, it's about getting a market share, not killing the competition. They can't afford to moneyhat every fucking game forever.

>So Epic doesn't care who has the games as long as it's not Steam?
All this proves is that Tim Sweeney is a hypocrite who doesn't actually care about developers and only cares about gaining market share from Steam.

they have made at least 1-2 billion from fortnite, they can give it a good go

That was always a bit obvious.

If only.
They want to kill Steam; that's why they're engaging on a three pronged strategy:
>Moneyhatting exclusivity
>Badmouthing Valve on social media and news outlets (no one gave a shit about Steam's monopoly for the past decade; suddenly every single media outlet for the past year is denouncing Valve's evil)
>Allying with other stores (Uplay, Microsoft Store)

GOG when?

Of course, but I hate how the gaming media fawned over Epic and propped them up as saviors from the evil Steam. It reeks of bullshit.

Does the media still smear Steam? It feels like barely anyone mentions the 12% cut anymore or any of the talking points Epic kept repeating earlier this year.

It's coming to Steam next year anyway. It was only a timed exclusive.

This.
Cant understand how retard people must be to not recognize Epic behavior and it's full anti-Steam marketing.

this guy gets it.

I wish I could support GOG but they don't have new games.
That said I just bought Bloodstained from them; US$16 against US$60 on Steam and no DRM; you need to be crazy to not go with GOG.

when Uplay, GOG and the Microsoft Store appeared on the PC gaming landscape no one praised them as the ultimate saviours of ginger while demanding Steam's head at the same time; this shit only started with the Epic Store.

>Windows Store
the store that's such a dismal failure even Microsoft has realized they have to put their games on Steam
i mean, what popular games were even on the Win10 store? That shitty tv show that Sam Lake wrote? How does Remedy even live unless they're really good at investing and budgeting the bribes M$ paid them 15 years ago to become Xbox' bitches.

>why did they do this?
Because Microsoft want high profile games to launch the PC version of Game Pass.

It's funny when you think about it.
Metro's publisher is literally scraping for coins wherever it can.

Steam is the one who gets BTFO at the end of the day

I know, and GOG is even the most consumer friendly store out there with DRM free games, while also store with less cut than Epic exist from years too, like Discord and their 10% cut or even Itch io with the 0% cut.
Epic is literally the worst on almost all aspect of he "store war", and yet, people are praising it as the holy savior. I hope that they are all paid shills.

it's a really boring game

I played till the mission where you and ur gf get captured and you get shot. Its pretty corridor-y

How? Steam is literally winning the war doing nothing while in the meantime Epic is defeating itself with it's hown hands.

I'm not mad at developers and publishers for accepting Tencent's bribe money; they're business trying new business strategies, something business do.

Now, Julian Gollop, that guy is fucking scum. Phoenix Point was already funded; he had no need to pull that bullshit.

I have never met anyone who actually uses the Windows Store.

>I'm not mad at people accepting brides
>But I'm mad at people accepting brides

One is risking his own money.
The other used someone else's money to get the bribe.

>Microsoft literally sides with Steam
>Epic Games still allows a Microsoft Store release
Supreme cuck.

why does ps wojaks tit say india?

>game tanks so badly on Epic games stores that they resort to putting it on the Windows store

That guy looks like he's 70 and probably is using his chink bribe to retire in Florida. who cares if nobody plays his xcom clone in current year, he's outta here

And harm your reputation before you even made a name for yourself so you're pretty much doomed because you'll never get a deal like that again?

>How does Remedy even live unless they're really good at investing and budgeting the bribes M$ paid them 15 years ago to become Xbox' bitches.
They're Sony bitches now if Control is any indication.
Maybe Sweeney put in a clause in the exclusivity contracts letting them put it on MS store in the hope that MS will throw them a bone and let them have Gears on EGS.

retards like you ruined stalker and metro tbqh

>newcomer developer
>implying you would have a chance of hell of getting on the Epic Store
They only accept "established" devs. A policy which will always make them lose the indie market. Sure enough, the top selling indie games this year have all been on Steam (Mordhau, RoR2, Baba is you, and so on).

Phoenix Point wouldn't have existed if it wasn't for the crowdfunding campaign that promised Steam and GOG.com keys. Kill yourself.

>evolution
Metro is just STALKER lite.

Wasn't that pretty clear after Anno?
The deal is literally just "don't sell on steam"

>gaben wont notice me
>maybe pajeet will notice me if I let them sell my exclusives

Anno still has the excuse that's only sold in a first party store.

At least there will be achievements

Did they really thought they could compete against steam with barely a bunch of games, mediocre sales and getting against the consumer?

Yes, they thought that the Fortnite kids were their own army that would ahve fought steam with them.
They didnt thought that the fortnite kids doesnt even know what steam is yet.

No thanks. Thanks for playtesting this, EPIC store kids. Now I know it's shit and won't waste my money.
