If by any crazy luck I'll ever become "fuck you" successful, minecraft teir or more, I'll fucking scan the filesystem and if epic folder is found the game won't work and demand you uninstall epic first.

No reason not to if Epic is footing the bill for my free games :)

Alright, real talk anons. These pointless store wars are just stupid, same things with console exclusives. We should be discussing the real problems of the industry these days: How do we fix the bloated budgets of modern games? Most companies are afraid of trying new ideas because if even one game fails, it can tank the whole company. How do we fix the million dollar marketing budget skinhole problem?

Companies could make PS2 era games nowadays with 10% of today's budgets, not to mention that a few really popular games in the past decade can run on a toaster.

What gives? Why is the industry so fucking obsessed with "muh graphics" and billion dollar marketing budgets?

Pretending to be retarded still makes you retarded, just so you know.

Factually false, but even when you purchase steam key externally steam doesn't get paid, unlike epic that force you to buy from them and pay them (more)

Get fucked, steamcuck

I really fucking hope this thread is a joke. This was unironically the main game I was looking forward to this year.

Because the majority of people working on a bigger title are shit at their jobs. You have a small group of really talented developers in contrast to the vast majority of just filling in the blanks they aren't doing themselves as the scope is too big so you get really shallow experiences overall.
Graphics are everything unfortunately when appealing to the mainstream and so is marketing, plastering your game everywhere before and shortly after its release ensures that the mainstream audience knows of its existence and makes them want to buy it because it's the coolest new game, even if they might not actually like it (best recent example that would come to mind is Sekiro and the endless bitching and moaning about its difficulty).
The investors have to be pleased at the end of the day so regurgitating the same proven formula with a different coat of paint and the newest technology can make insane returns and the cycle repeats itself once more. There's a reason why many talented developers leave their cookie cutter job at a big studio to make their own games.

CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME THE NAME OF THIS FUCKING GAME PLSSSSSS?!?!?!

Well, I was going to pirate the game on Switch anyway. But, hey, at least now Epic is paying for it, so I feel a slight bit less bad about pirating the game.

Taking into account how much money they are spending with exclusives and free games trying to make people migrate, I take they will eventually see that PC autism is too strong and stop trying to force it.

Pretty sure its the one that makes water dissapear at the cost of slowly dehydrating you but you get to Moses throu water so its cool.

Well I was about to make a comment about how those drivers have no souls for what looked like they were speeding up to hit the sheep, but then the truck part came. Holy fuck.

Why did the truck driver even think driving down the guardrail with people there was a good idea?

No, Epic responded to WHY they supposedly access this stuff (scraping metadata for their client) but did not really justify it. Considering how feature deprived EGS is and how shameful their security has been I don't think it's unreasonable an unreasonable assessment.

Wow this is legitimately surprising and disappointing. However keep in mind they have a real publisher now, who probably forced the decision onto the team. Still pieces of shit though.

Unless you're an AA game minimum or a very notable indie, Epic Games would reject your game even if you pitched it to them.

If you actually managed to make a good game that epic wanted I doubt you would resist their millions of dollars.

That retarded mentality only works if you plan to make 1 product. If you plan to build a fanbase of dedicated consumers, limiting yourself to one shitty store that has terrible PR is a horrible idea and will ruin you long term.

For some reason this place is having a console war of sorts between Steam and Epic which you would think wouldn't be a problem since you don't have to buy anything just download it. Brand Loyalty is silly and makes people act like baboons over non issues.

I love how Epic's shills are either pirates or consolefags. Imagine trying to win a trade war and all your allies don't even do business with you.

Epic outright pays Goose devs for the first 200k or whatever copies. Buying the game from Epic Store does not support the devs in any way at this point, it just reimburses and funds Epic. Also, fuck Epic and their launcher that runs Chinese spyware on your system.

Why is leddit screeching and fighting tooth and nail to protect and shill the Epic store, but don't give a shit about itch.io and Discord?

Don't worry man, china is paying for ALL our copies.

Thanks for the free copy Tim!

The sad thing is that Steam has only to start paying for exclusivity too and then you get bidding wars over the ability to have a fucking game in your store, like thousands will be spent so that a fucking shitty indie game isnt owned by the oppossition, and a shitty game just made a killing before even making a sale.

Steam doesn't need to make bidding wars when for the majority of the developers it's easier and more financially viable to just sell on Steam.
