Hi, greetings from Germany. What's the best platform for Goose Games? Thank you.

>Calls a tripfag a namefag
newfag

Are you fucking serious they stole the goose game. Now I'm actually upset.

I'm just going to end up getting it on Switch. Even though I don't like getting multiplats on consoles, I'm not going to support Epic. Although, even though I'm a buyfag, I may just pirate it; after all, Tim Sweeney did already pay for my copy.

Everything I see from him is on the same level of delusion as Randy Pitchford. The only difference is Tim actually has money which legitimizes him in a lot of americans eyes.

This

Do games actually sell as many copies on the epic store vs. steam?

He is autistic but based
Epic games

Both

Indie title getting more publicity so they even sell more

We don't have access to explicit sales numbers in most cases to make any kind of fair comparison.

Well, I was interested in that game. What a shame.

they don't release data so nobody knows.

probably not, but they don't have to
Epic pays the devs/whoever a big dick amount of money and that usually covers it
Epic is just waving around their wallet instead of trying to be better than Steam

It's either Steam or pirating, thanks tard sweeny.

Their highest selling title is World War Z wich sold 600.000 copies, that game released in April
Risk Of Rain 2 sold a million in a month for comparison, and that was an indie game that was just dumped overnight with no marketting
and with it now being reported that Epics payment comes in the form of pre orders who knows how much of those EGS numbers are genuine purchases

It's baffling to me that a digital storefront in 20 fucking 19 doesn't have a goddamn shopping cart. Random shady ass looking websites put together as a high school CIS project have a fucking shopping cart.

They don't release data but we know that epic buys an amount of copies, that's why they flex.

He's a greedy retard. Everywhere gets a 30% cut. Even those actual monopolies like the phone app stores. His entire movement is based on "I want more and I'll fuck over everyone who isn't me and my cronies until I get it."

He does 180s on his opinions literally overnight though. One day he may start to charge 30% as well once he sees how much he has to spend to keep a proper storefront going while also paying all of his employees' salaries. Then he'll defend 30% vehemently.

Wtf why is Tim so fucking based

God he has such a punchable face. And its not because he's a douche, he actually has a punchable face. I'm willing to bet everything I have that he was the butt end of the joke in HS and the target of bullies

Why doesn't he just come out and say that he hates Valve and Steam specifically? He always talks about how bad Valve's 30% cut is, but GOG's cut is exactly the same. I've not bothered to check, but I'm guessing Origin and Uplay also take the same cut.

Is it something they can use to fish out food from the sewers?

He's trying to get noticed by Gaben senpai but Gaben doesn't care about him at all

Gabe said about EGS that is good for the consumer to have more choices

>>EGS will have all Steam features in a couple of months
Nice of you to recycle this months-old pasta, I wish it came to pass

I mean, I hate the epic store, but if this gave Valve enough of a kick in the ass to make games again, I'd be all for it.

>risk of rain 2 had no marketing
Let's be fair here, hoppo was an aggy-daggy beloved by Yea Forums and /vg/, and Yea Forums supported the hell out of the first game besides normalfag support. Of course his sequel would sell a million copies even though it's still in testing without marketing, he cultivated a loyal customer base that markets word-of-mouth for free.

all of that combined is still alot less marketting power compared to AAA Zombie based on a popular book and film thats also a co op shooter wich had ads plastered all over the internet and payed Youtube to run trailers

I think you're seriously undervaluing the buying power Yea Forums represents. Which is good, It's not like I WANT more shills shitting up fake threads for corporations, but if you can convince Yea Forums to support something earnestly, it's worth more than all the Super Bowl ads and website banners in the world.

>popular book/film
Like wut, worldwarz is almost a decade old

The irony of his post being that he left PC gaming entirely and fled to consoles after piracy took over and it was nearly impossible to make money there. He didn't come back until after Gabe defeated piracy by making Steam and amassing an enormous usebase. Tim's always been two-faced and says whatever he thinks is going to make him look good at a given moment.

They'd be better off buying a HTML and Java book from Amazon and doing it themselves then hiring Raghvendra and Sirisha to waste three development cycles skimming githubs for code to copy poorly.

how does that change what i said?

And? A book's age has nothing to do with its popularity. Harry Potter is 20 years old, and still gets films and games made about it. Lord of the Rings is almost 70 years old.

Can't be any more lacking than what they've got now, right?

He has suggested in the past that he was very envious Valve but Valve doesn't have anything that resembles UE going for them so I'm not sure what the bug up his ass is all about. If anything Valve should be envious of Epic.

Pretty ballsy saying that considering how fucking shit their presence at the PC conference was.

It's fucking mind boggling how epic has untold millions from fortnite money, but they seemingly refuse to invest any of it into hiring a real fucking team to give the epic store an overhaul.

Because all of their devs work full-time on Fortnite with 60+ hour weeks regularly to get out their unreasonable speed of new season releases. Hell, Unreal Engine 4 updates have slowed down too from what I've heard from some people working with it for their games

Actually you get a shitton of money as a epic employer (you get shares when you join the core team) so they can't just hire codemonkeys it's against their philosophy

epic buys a bunch of copies from the developer and they pretend the game sold a lot
if a game sells 500k on the epic store, it doesnt mean 500k people bought the game
it means epic bought 500k copies of the game and maybe a few thousand people actually bought it there

Oh yeah, steam was a nightmare to use at first. The HL2 launch was a disaster, it eventually added back the friends feature, ran a few betas, got more software like id games on it, then they did a few nice sales. It seemed really cool, the DRM thing barely mattered at the time. In fact a handful of games don't even have DRM. How cool. Didn't even care that physical PC gaming was dead. Then 2012 happened, Valve implemented a new EULA and developers now had carte blanche to invalidate copies of games you owned. Sales are final, you don't own fucking A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G faggot. Oh you want an alternative? Physical PC games are dead. Go ahead, buy a cardboard disk of fallout76, it's just a steam code faggot. Go buy a copy of MGSV on PC, it's a fucking steam installer exe on a dvd, that's it.

Steam was a mistake, digital was a mistake, PC gaming was a mistake.

My favorite feature of the EGS is that it bans you if you buy too many games too quickly.

He is neither, just a humble businessman.

>Is this guy ever wrong?

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than being a buyfag. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are buying from, subscribing to, playing the product of, and defending a corporation solely so they can go and get your games locked onto certain digital stores. All the hard work devs put into their beautiful games - sculpting their bodies, getting the animations just right, figuring out what their audience wants, designing a fun experience. All of it has one simple result: their game is more enjoyable for one particular audience that will buy it on another storefront. Made the perfect game? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a random alt-right russian hacker incel who has nothing to do with digital stores, who just pirates the game. He gets to play the game without any sort of interruption or DRM. He gets the benefits of the game's good times, the way the devs intended. As a "man" who has a PC, you are LITERALLY dedicating years of your life supporting a publisher simply to support games for other storefront consumers to enjoy. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically

My question is, how long will he continue to maintain this "fuck you" attitude? It seems like Fortnite is going to hit its first rocky waters in the future. Not saying it's happening now, but between the reports of constant crunch to get weekly content out and failing to even compensate competitive players, I feel like the first drop is going to happen within the next six months. Not to mention almost the entire majority of the people playing are trend chasers.
The moment Fortnite starts dipping, and if EGS has failed to dig in by then, is he still going to behave like this? Because the only thing that makes me think he's even begun to act like this is Fortnite, because it sure as fuck wasn't Unreal Engine that kickstarted this whole operation of autism.

Keep in mind that 6+ months isn't even an accurate number since it gets pushed back whenever they want to add games to the store, since adding the games still has to be done by hand.

Add that with EGS having a skeleton crew so most of their programmers can keep up Fortnite's completely absurd update pace, and that store updates, game additions, and new features are all competing for development time, I'd be amazed if that shit happened within the next year to be frank.

Weak defense on their end. And somewhat self-defeating, because it should stand to logic that, having been able to see how Steam AND other digital storefronts like Origin, GOG, uPlay, etc. handle themselves, Epic should have come up with a feature that combines all the good aspects of these features. Instead, they've come up with what amounts to a college intern project that they have to bribe publishers and players (free game a month, now free game a week) to come play.
I can understand people criticizing modern Steam, but using the 2004 version of Steam to support their argument is fucking retarded, and not acknowledging other digital storefronts with a presence is even more retarded. They're just assblasted anti-Steam niggers who have probably never used GOG in their lives.

There was an indie developer that got rejected, so I'm guessing Epic is gunning for as many games that they think "have potential" as they can, since they're still in the Stone Age where they have to manually add every game.

For Tim to give you that free money your game already has to have had some hype behind it or be otherwise guaranteed to draw some attention.

Another bad thing about the Epic Store, there's no path for an unproven PC developer to get out there.

Wut geam

I never really got the point of making custom maps for CS:GO, yeah. It's just not that kind of game.

I guess there aren't really any casual-and-popular games left where you CAN make custom maps, though.

Unproven devs just have to make a good game on steam first, then epic will offer them a sum to completely alienate their userbase.

epic gets exclusivity in exchange for a lump sum and by buying X number of game keys from the developer. lets use 100k game keys as en example. not a single consumer could buy one of these indie games the first week its available, but epic can still say "100k copies were sold", since that is how many keys that epic bought from the developer. between that and epic not publicly releasing sales numbers means that any number coming from their official channels are nothing more than marketing and can't be verified.

I will never understand the people that constantly defend the Epic Games Store as if creating a monopoly on certain titles, installing chinese spyware onto people's systems, being disingenuous about sales numbers, lacking basic features like a shopping cart and having sales so sloppily planned out that multiple titles get delisted until further notice is "pro-consumer."

Epic pays every dev $1 million regardless of how it sells just so they can brute force their inventory numbers

How is that shopping cart working for ya?

They technically do sell a lot of copies, and that's because in epics deals they don't offer a lump sum but offer to buy a certain amount of copies themselves. So a game could have 300,000 sales and 200k are from epic.

This is just fucking pathetic and it's irrefutable proof that they don't give a single fuck. It would literally take one guy a couple weeks at most to implement those first 3 things

>flags account for buying more than one game on the store

How does it surprise you that developers are the biggest Jews on the planet? We continously have shit like GameFreak who are in charge of the biggest franchise worldwide refusing to spend any of that money to hire competent staff and continue to insist on running with a minimal crew.

The point about spyware is a moot one, since steam itself also gets caught time and time again doing extremely shady shit.

>EGS will have all Steam features in a couple of months

You must be nuts to believe this.

Origin is god knows how old and that launcher is still absolute shit.
Yet it's better than EGS by quite a margin.

There is no way epic can update EGS in such a short time.

I don't know how it works but I heard it goes something like "if you don't make 100k sales, we'll pay you that money so you're not at a complete loss. If you make more sales than that though, we don't give you anything. You're guaranteed a minimum so you don't go bankrupt trying to help me fuck up the PC gaming ecosystem."

this kind of open seething and impotent bragging against a superior faction seems like a lot like china's rhetoric towards the US, weird coincidence

Thank god Fortnite is losing relevance fast. Currently it has less viewers than Dota 2.

Nice headcanon, Tim.

Are you retarded? A company doesn't have to suck your dick to be pro consumer you fucking retard NEET.

This

I wont get any game that goes epic exclusive anywhere else

>net worth = actual wealth
Look at this retard.

I'm still waiting for EGS to even start getting their shit in order.
Their store clearly wasn't ready yet and the only way to explain it's stagnation at this point is that the devs are too buys manually maintaining it to actually develop anything now.

that's terrible then, isn't it?

The only thing keeping epic from falling apart is their big wallet.
Soon as they run out of funds to toss about, all they have is an awful reputation.

Did anyone actually care about this game?

yeah, on Yea Forums. I see people all the time on twitter or other forums dickriding it just fine or saying the people that hate it need to get over themselves.

granted I'm pretty sure the venn diagram of those people and the ones that suck game journo cock and will say anything if they think it means they can own "the gamers" is a fucking circle.

Dont want to lose out on the year one steam sales lmfao

It's funny because the average pajeet team can develope a more feature rich storefront in less time than EGS has been up.

punny

The only people who view them so poorly are in this thread right now, no one outside of these shitty threads and the subreddit that I know you all post on actually care.

Japan have notoriously shit English despite being taught it in school. Most can't write it for shit, but they tend to have an easier time speaking it.

Explain the like / dislike ratio on the most recent Shenmue 3 announcement video then.

it's not epic exclusive, though
it'll also be on ggn

People outside of Yea Forums don't like Epic's shit either. You don't get ratios like this unless you're really fucking up

At least Gaben still owns 100% of his company while Tim has sold out a controlling share to a chink company.
It's also funny when Tim pretends to be a philanthropist by buying trees and shit all the while he's collaborating with Tencent who are quite literally fucking evil.

Great job with the bait user LMAO. People are idiots.

So it's going to take a decade for Epic to catch up then.

Wait a minute, KOFXIV is on Steam

>replies to himself

sad. and don't think posting a picture of (you) next to the post or not will fool us. everyone knows you can mark posts as (you) in 4chanx.

he's seeing that all the EGS operation is going down in flames, with devs starting to refuse the paid exclusivity even just for the publicity that comes with it. his pet project is a failure but he's too invested and prideful to call it a day so the only thing he can do is double down on it

Don't be silly, Epic bought Easy Anti Cheat and immediately stopped them from working with Valve to make it support Linux

Took me a minute.

>dude, why doesn't this markedly smaller company just start giving our devs a cut that we openly admit forces us to operate at a loss, only we have such ridiculous sources of income going right now that we can afford bullshit venture capitalist strategies like this? lmao what, do they HATE DEVELOPERS?

Probably not if they're hoping to be a real competitor long term. I'm just saying it's a bit simple to just assume everything can be done over night.

They shouldn't have started in that state to begin with. When you throw a product on the market, you don't start from scratch like you just pioneered in the fucking field. Amazon had a shopping cart in 1999. This shit is simply unacceptable.

This is literally how car salesmen get paid. You make minimum wage until your commission exceeds what you're paid at minimum wage, then you can start collecting your commission. Figuratively.

They've been making games again since their hardware didn't fair well.

Or rather a tempest in a teacup. It will get a basket soon I'm sure but you also really don't need one.

What exactly is he trying to acomplish by pissing people off like this?
Even EA is at least trying to be subtle when jewing in order to not do that.

I know for a fucking fact 500K people have not bought satisfactory. He's been buying out preorder numbers and they've been paying streamers to shill the game, only for it to drop to 200 people after 2 days.

He honestly couldn't pay me to use his store at this point, it's so goddamn anti-consumer I hate it but luckily they haven't swiped a game I care about yet which is good. I hope to God it stays that way.

>I hate it but luckily they haven't swiped a game I care about yet which is good. I hope to God it stays that way.

there is always an option, matey

felt the same way until Shenmue III
I mean I'm getting it on PS4 anyway, but that honestly killed all hype I had. I know if I play it there will just be this absolutely awful taste in my mouth about it. I'll probably just sell my copy on ebay unless they actually offer refunds.

Ebin's storefront being shit isn't even the reason why they're bad, despite its usefulness as something to point to that normies can digest immediately and how lucky we detractors are that Ebin is so retarded that they've refused to put in the modicum of effort to improve it despite it being the most shoddy effort of their entire operation.

The Ebin store is bad because they very obviously have an anti-consumer stance (notice how Tim Sweeny's faux-moralistic arguments for why you should use the Ebin store always revolve around them giving more money to developers than steam does, as if this is something I should give a shit about as a consumer) and how they think top-down control freak shit like deliberately cutting user reviews, their heavy handed tactic in shanghaiing exclusives even if they fuck over kickstarter backers, and having heavy gatekeeping through "curation" (aka something like Kingdom Come would have never made it on their store the minute Resetera bitched about it) are good things. If Valve were the beneficial dictators of PC gaming, Ebin is the scheming chancellor who wants to overthrow the king so the can begin their totalitarian reign.

It's a cry for help

he has a point

All these fags saying 30% is unsustainable should see the cuts devs/publishers get from physical copies cos its waaaaaay fucking less than 70%. One of the advantages of digital for publishers was higher profit margins

They got auto chess? the fuck how does that work without dota assets?

please explain what the fuck is autochess
is it automatic chess or something? why would anyone play that? why not just play real chess?

Considering the silence on Metro Exodus, probably not.

At least Notch was smart enough to sell out before shitposting on Twitter, why is Sweeney so stupid that he thinks he'll be able to carry on like this into perpetuity? Does he think Fortnite will dominate the video game market for a thousand years and that no other big flavor games will come along to soak up the kiddies?

We'll find out when the first EGS deals end.

>Does he think Fortnite will dominate the video game market for a thousand years and that no other big flavor games will come along to soak up the kiddies?

I think this is exactly why he's trying to strongarm his way into the PC digital distribution space as quickly as possible

>tfw leddit is banning any mention of the samurai showdown incident on r/games
They can at least try and pretend not to be massive epic shills

He's taking after Zucc and he's earning the same kind of reputation for it.

It's not just Fortnite money anymore, its Tencent money as well. They aren't going to be running out of funds any time soon.
Tencent is just mad Valve partnered with Perfect World instead of them

Well yeah, I mean it should be obvious to him, but then why does he exhibit such hostile behavior consistently and act like he can get away with murder when he needs people to be onboard with EGS? He should be trying to convince people why the EGS is a good option and so far the only two answers he's given is "FOR THE DEVELOPERS," when it's really "for the publishers" and the model will likely change when Epic can no longer afford it, and "free games," when the selection is pretty mediocre aside from a couple of good games. The rest of it is either him attacking Steam with a couple of legitimate concerns but mostly retarded antics that Steam could never do like 12%, or him saying "no fuck you consumers, it's the developers that are going to make you play on the EGS".
I'd assume they're getting money from TenCent, but I don't know how much. It seems like Fortnite is their big source of revenue right now.

>why does he exhibit such hostile behavior consistently and act like he can get away with murder when he needs people to be onboard with EGS?
Actual autism/asperger's?

reddit is also part owned by tencent, thats why

>Because games sell most of their lifetime copies in the first year
completely untrue for PC, by a substantial margin.
especially so for big games, like GTA, for example.

this, Tim China is obsessed about getting noticed by Steam

But he is the owner of epic games and makes more money than gaben (who sucks more chink dick than Tim) stop coping

they backpedaled on Shenmue

randy pitchford also has money, lots of it.

I think steam figures EGS isn't a threat since they have to buy exclusives to get users and it's not shown to be working totally in their favor.

Tim is from NC tho, so he's retarded and will keep buying exclusives until EGS collapses

why do you assume that he is only one or the other?

>But he is the owner of epic games
No, he isn't, Tencent owns 40%

>more money means he is right!

typical boot licker mentality, you'll be a valued asset to the factory

/thread

>What is unreal
OHNONONONONONO BROS I FORGOT ABOUT THAT

But you own a company when you have more than 50% of the shares kiddo

No, if you own 51% of a pie then it's not 'your' pie, you share it with whoever owns the 49%
Tim Sweeney has the controlling stake, but he can't get away with doing whatever he wants, Tencent expects a measure of control in return for their investment.

I bet you own 51% of your wife, huh?
