Why are you not using epic store?

Thats not your call to make dummy

Gib shopping cart. This is not epic at all

Except you don't need to buy epic games store
Okay these are fair points

>pretending Borderlands 3 doesn't exist
user....

He clearly isn't interested on Borderlands 3.

Which legitimate reasons do people have for wanting to have the launcher running? Steam can be argued for since you have updates, invites, community hubs, the sort, but I can't really see why you wouldn't close EGL after playing whatever it is you wanted to play.

So, let's get this straight.
The advantages of epic games launcher:
>more money for developers
>buys the shit out of exclusives
>free games every once in a while
only a single benefit is passed onto the consumer.
Meanwhile, Steam takes a bigger cut of the dev paycheck, but also has
>social media features and profiles
>very common sales and bundles
>trading cards
>huge selection with lots of filters to easily view what you want
>community forums
>community reviews
>Linux support
>shopping cart
>wishlist
>Mac support
>user customization
>screenshot hosting
>gives out free games during events
>in-client streaming and game clip hosting
>steam family sharing
>steam link/ big picture mode
>significant VR hosting
>achievements/badges
>profile inventories and trading
> live pages where debs can post news and patch notes
Outside of paid exclusives, I can't think of a single thing Epic has that steam doesn't.

There are many reasons to legitimately hate this company, yet you focus on this. I bet this is actually Epic trying to detract from the actual criticism and point to all the illegitimate claims from "racists".

Literally impossible. BL3 is the most hype title of 2019.

A choice between the epic games store and not playing the game at all isn't a choice

I don't trust a company that thought it was okay not to require email confirmation to make an account. All the other terrible practices are just more shit on the shit pile.

>Except you don't need to buy epic games store
What the literal fuck are you trying to say here?
Why would I install, run and use a store for which I don't plan on buying anything and hate their nigger practices?

most hyped title on piracy forums, yeah.

Uninstalled Steam after this fucking joke of a sale. Im an EGS-only man now. Watch steam faggots seethe and point at the "features" that bloat their tranny den as somehow a good thing.

No matter how much you keeprepeating this, it will never be true, Timmy Tencent.

Whatever gets you going, man. I'd rather have the cool peeps in the community watching my back. Playing BL3 billy-no-mates sounds like the perfect way to ruin your first experience with it.

Bad service
Bad marketing practices
Mediocre products

I prefer GOG, simple as that

Besides I don't trust it. Tim Sweeney is a retard, Epic is a shifty company and the success of Fortnite can quickly fall again.

With the way they're behaving, they might change their mind and remove the store if it doesn't work out, meaning I would lose my library. I don't trust digital stores at all, but I feel like I'm safer buying games on Steam and GOG.

Hating the CPC is not hating the Chinese. I hate the CPC, who indirectly have influence on everything Epic does as a business regardless of what Epic says. Tencent has people on Epic's board.

>Whatever gets you going, man. I'd rather have the cool peeps in the community watching my back. Playing BL3 billy-no-mates sounds like the perfect way to ruin your first experience with it.

Yo, calm down Randy.

I don’t like any of their games. Also not interested in downloading 100 different launchers and stores to play at most 3-4 games from each

Quick reminder that not only is Epic DRM, Tim Sweeney actually left PC gaming because of "pirates" and if the situation ever gets bad for the Epic Games Store they could easily just shut down their platform and remove every game from your library. Tim Sweeney has no loyalty to people who play games and if EGS turns out to be a bad investment he would have no problem shutting it down.

You didn't strike anything but a bell signifying you're a moron not used to posting here. Lurk more, faggot.

After Borderlands 2 (and arguably 1), BL3 should pretend that it cures cancer to generate hype.

It's not about having an easy time with it. It's about experiencing a new world together with some buds and kicking some major ass along the way.

Spicy tea here: You have a million games where you can lone gruff space marine grunt your way through faceless baddies. Borderlands 3 is about teaming up with friends, and maybe even making a couple new ones, while you all laugh your asses off together.

Outer Wilds is pretty good, but after the Shenmue 3 backstabbing that the producer did, it probably is better to wait for it on a different service or pirate it.

>the Shenmue 3 backstabbing
You mean the same as with the Outer Wilds?

Tell me why I should use it. I don't care for any of their "exclusives" and I don't see why I should purchase "multiplatform" titles through them as opposed to other stores.
>But "developers" get a bigger cut! Don't you want to support them?
I don't care. Literally not my problem.

I've got all the games I want on Steam or consoles. I don't need another launcher. Hell, I barely even buy games anymore on Steam as it stands. Epic is too late to the game at this point to compete. Should have come on the scene like 5 years ago.

I've never used the filter tool until now, but holy fuck "spicy tea"?

Attached: YjCNdaO.png (618x600, 612K)

Because it's competition and if you cared about PC as a platform to play games on you'd at least give it a fair shake.

Folk here don't realize that Epic is building the metaphorical Wall that'll keep white-walking games-streaming services like Stadia at bay. That's what so infuriating about all of this. There's blood in the water and sharks like Google can smell it. Instead of uniting against LITERAL REAL LIFE EVIL CORPORATIONS you attack the small dude in the fishing boat manning the harpoons.

Yeah, and that Outer Wild case is also quite similar to the recent case of Shenmue 3.

This. Already got burned with a few purchase made on Impulse after Jewstop killed all downloads earlier this year.

Nothing about this store suggests they have a plan after fortnite dies

I'd recommend you to stop trying to debate with Epic shills, they will usually resort to trying to gaslight you into thinking you don't need all these features (especially the social media ones) for a digital distribution platform, yet they can't grasp the fact that if Steam can afford to have all these features, it's because the basic functions of a digital store have already been fulfilled

After ten years, I don't like the concept of a backroom deal that pads sales numbers fracturing my library between different platforms.

It's really a lot simpler than you'd think.

Try again, but without all of these meme reasons to not use EGS.

Why do Steam shills prize all the things their game launcher does that isn't related to launching games?

>exclusivity shittery
>only barely as functional as steam was 10 fucking years ago
>everything about their sale event steam sales may be shit now, but at least they still let you buy a bunch of games without banning you from the store entirely

>No basic quality of life standards that come with free to use online stores like shopify.
>Resource hogging spyware to see what I'm doing on steam.

How many people died on June 4th, bugman?

Why would I try arguing with an ant, instead of squishing it? Or better yet, ignoring it like Gaben does.

Why would I use a store without these features, if I can use one with them?

No, I am being paid in the seething of steam shills, at a fair rate too if this thread is to be any indicator.

For social credit score points
Jokes on him because videogames reduce the score.

Its because if product A has over a dozen perks while product B only has a few(which product A has anyway) what is the reason to use product B?

I use the Epic Games Launcher and have to say it's very barebones, you can buy your games, play your games and add your friends. That's all you need for some people, but other would like the social features that Steam provides with profiles and things of the sort.
You can't even add profile pictures on Epic's launcher, which can be bad or good, depending on whether or not you'd want to see what cropped porn your buddies on your friend's list watch or look at.

I genueily wanted to use it, during their sale. I created an account, and tried to buy Hades and Ashen.
Then my new created account had purchasing deactivated, and their Customer Support completly ignored my requests.

After this, i am not sure i will use their service at all. I will jusr wait for games to appear on scummy steam or gog

Noting I want to buy and I stopped playing Unreal Tournament when it was clear they stopped caring to improve when fortnite got popular. It's still installed but I haven't opened it in months.

It's just bad and on top of that Epic's behavior is anti-consumer by trying to turn a generally open platform into something more locked down.

The store is just fucking shit, though. It offers absolutely no benefit over other available alternatives, there is just no reason for me to buy from Epic instead of buying somewhere else. There are many alternatives which are better. GOG is DRM-free, which is a huge perk. Steam has many features which EGS does not have and probably never will have. Humble is also DRM-free. Stores like GMG and Fanatical tend to have better prices and shitloads of small key stores also have better prices. EGS is worse even for situations like Ubisoft games, because even if you buy the game from Epic you still need to use Uplay, so might as well just use Uplay alone. I can't see any reason to buy from Epic as opposed to any other store and this is all before even taking into account the anti-consumer garbage Epic is trying to pull in general.

give me 1 (one) reason why i should use any other launcher beside steam, gog doesn't count because the prog itself isn't required

In what way? Please explain. Money hating titles is not competition. This is not the console marketplace. They can get "exclusive" distribution of games, but if I am denied the ability to play it the way that I want, I will resort to piracy and so will many others. Epic is not providing a service, they are providing an inconvenience. It is these inconveniences that will lead to shit like Stadia, not deter it. If they wanted to be a competitor, they would compete against Steam with features, not shitty indie games and kickstarter projects. Valve has provided me with Steam Workshop, Built-In third party controller support, Linux support, community forums and community guides, reviews and an easy no questions ask refund policy. These are all features I regularly use and enjoy. Epic can't even get a fucking shopping cart going. Why would I ever do business with them?

I remember reading a tweet comparing the music and film consumers adoption of streaming services to video game consumers. These zoomers are claiming were entitled because of how much we value physical media and how we reject the idea of a streaming service for games. The way we consume and playback our medium has zero in common with what they're comparing it to. Archiving these for future consumption delves into issues such as compatibility, something a streaming service will not care to deal with because they only want to offer the latest garbage. Then there's the issue of latency. These are issues no body in control of spreading this bullshit information seems to care about and raise awareness on. Instead, they attack those who bring it up. Our industry is in control of morons. We are beyond fucked.

I just find it hilarious because he fundamentally misunderstands how the PC platform operates. He keeps thinking of it with a console mentality, where he can use exclusives to coerce people into giving in and using a platform. Except with PC, the ultimate form of competition already exists to everything in the form of piracy. If the juice isn't worth the squeeze, I'm going to piratebay.

The death of Paragon was enough to turn me against epic forever.

Honestly even if Epic had parity with the features Steam has, I still wouldn't use it. Even if it weren't owned by data-mining chinks, I still wouldn't use it.

I've had steam for like 12 years now. That's where all the games I've bought digitally are. I'm not going to splinter up my games like that. I'll get stuff on GoG as well since they have their own benefits and because they don't require a launcher, and obviously there's tons of stuff I'll just pirate. But I'm not going to juggle with any more platforms than that.

If some zoomer whose first foray into PC gaming is fortnite wants to make EGS their main platform and buy all their games on that, then they can go for it. But I'm not.

Swhy would ANYONE switch over from Steam now that they have a literal fuck ton of games to choose from? If Epic wanted to compete, they should have struck while the iron was hot and make their store way back when. They didn't. And now they expect everyone to just jump ship and hop on board an already failing store front that has only exclusives available.

How the fuck do you justify ANY of this shit?

Epic: "Consumers are the enemy. Fuck you all. You are toxic and will never be catered to on my store. We exist only to maximize money for us and our cronies and pass absolutely nothing on to you peasants."

Also Epic: "Why the FUCK aren't you using my store?!"

Attached: 1475566108380.jpg (1080x608, 78K)

Which is ironically the reason he and his company abandoned PC gaming all those years ago in the first place. They don't know how to properly deal with video game piracy, so instead of offering a better service for these people to make them want to purchase their games, they instead do anti-consumer shit and complain when people take issue with it.

what the fuck

Epic thought pc gaming was a dead platform. Valve showed it wasn't, and grew the market enormously, and now epic feel entitled to a slice of their pie.

Epic also forces them to price match what they charge on epic. So there's literally no point.

I know you are a shill but let me explain.
>Extremely dogshit buying process, doesnt support most payment methods and no shopping cart
>No full controller support
>No forum or review system for customers
>No game stats to check
>If you get a game during a “bug” it gets removed, which is actually unfair in any other market, happened when Detroit was free to pre-own and it was erased from the acc which snap it
>Sale had games being pulled due to not asking developers, blocks accounts for buying games quickly
>Horrible customer support and security
>Ever giving money to a team that openly told the PC userbase to get fucked a decade ago

It's depressing that epic is basically falling into all the same pitfalls that steam's already dealt with and learned from already.

Especially since Steam was first-mover in the digital distro scene. Epic already has an uphill battle because Steam already exists and people have no reason to inconvenience themselves with anything else. And on top of that, they're still fucking up in all these other ways as well.

It'll certainly be interesting to see what happens when the zoomers move on to another game and the fortnite meme dies and they're left high and dry

I like it how, despite steam existing for nearly 16 years now, Epic Store and Tim didn't learn anything at all and pointing at Steam 2010 "Well they didn't have those features back then huh?"

>Replying to blatant bait
Come on, you're better than this, user.

>Why are you not using epic store?
... ?

What's the specific reason that you think I should be using it? Exclusives? I don't particularly want to play any of them right now. I typically don't buy games when they're still new — I wait until games are cheap — so Epic's timed exclusives are meaningless and their permanent exclusives aren't cheap enough for me to consider buying.

As for games that aren't exclusive to Epic... well, there are several PC game stores and Epic simply isn't the best one. The exclusives (which, as I've explained, are irrelevant to me) are literally Epic's only advantage. That's all they have. Maybe I'll use Epic's client when it has features worth using. Let me know when it offers a tenth of what a well-developed platform like Steam, or even GOG Galaxy, does. Hey, does Epic's store have a shopping cart yet?

I think either Randy or one of his minions were genuinely posting in here, but they appear to have retreated once logic started taking hold.

I'm just collecting free games with it right now for no purpose really.I didn't bought anything as of yet because i'm not intrested in single player games. I didn't bought anything from steam for years either.

I may buy B3 but i doubt. I have nothing against this launcher, maybe because i'm used to have shit tons of launcher from golden mmorpg days. I dunno, i don't care either way. Steam features adds nothing of a value to me,i will support them if they provide good games to me.

So that rev split epic shills all the time is mostly false?
How do people not know about this?

so I assume you practice what you preach and have never given a cent to any of these companies or bought a digital game and only buy physical copies of wii games

It is missing a lot of features on top of them trying to force it onto everyone. It was the same with steam in the past but now steam is a good service and there is no reason to use the epic launcher considering they don't even have a shopping cart.

First most of the games on epic are publisher free. Second, developer studios operate at basic salary + margin from sold games.

Only drones are talking about this, it's true only in their own circlejerk.

EGS barely does the thing it’s meant to do properly. Steam works perfectly as a storefront and goes above and beyond. Why would I want to use an inferior, barebones service instead? They don’t even have a shopping cart

FUCK OFF

Kill yourself

EGS exclusive games are exclusive because Epic is throwing their Tencent bucks like there’s no tomorrow. I’m not going to legitimise that by paying them any of my money. Steam exclusives aren’t paid for by Valve. It’s apples and oranges, but you know this already,

>this picture again
There are paid shills on this board RIGHT NOW
Even worse, there are probably unpaid shills as well

Memelands 3 is going to be such a trainwreck on release. Epic can't even get basic shit like friend lists right, they've implemented fucking nothing from the roadmap, and gearbox relied on steamworks for for BL2.

Streaming sucks for kino too

In a fair match up, piracy is always more convenient, the only time piracy isn't more convenient than paying for digital is when the developer intentionally sabotages their game. You should not financially reward them for sabotaging their game. If you really cared about convenience then you wouldn't financially reward them making it less convenient.
>console-wars exclusivity
You admit in your post that you use Steam. They are all console-wannabe platforms.

I’m a patriot, so as long as the Pres says China bad, I ain’t touching it.

Stop it you're scaring the Anons!

>it's another nobody had reasons to dislike china before trump memer episode

>ultimate form of competition already exists to everything in the form of piracy.
Nope, piracy is not a legitimate competitor so long as it is illegal. Piracy is superior as is, it would be even better if it were completely legalized. I don't see Valve or GOG lobbying the US government to legalize piracy.
You shouldn't be paying for digital to begin with.

If he stopped the tariffs, I’d install.

Randy are you ever going to admit you're a pedo?

Sometimes I'm willing to pay 5 bucks just to have a game on a profile so that I can easily redownload it and not have to worry about anything. There are times where, to me, having a copy of a game on steam can be more convenient than pirating. But it's by thin margins, and the smallest thing to piss me off is going to make me pirate.

And definitely having to fuck around with a different platform is 100% a no-go

Legitimacy is a spook. What only matters is whether or not it's an alternative that people use, which piracy is.

>Games currently on Epic Games Store account: 18
>Money spent on Epic Games Store: 0

Thanks shills. If you hadn't posted about the free game every two weeks, I never would have been able to get all these free games. You can stop now, though, because I'm already logging in for every free game now, and I won't actually spend real money.

I'm going to continue using Epic for its free games the same way I used Origin for the "On The House" giveaways. I never actually spent any money on Origin; I just collected the free games. The only non-free games I had on Origin are from the two bundles (Humble Origin Bundle and Humble Origin Bundle 2), but in each case, all of the money went to charity.

Because Timmy Tencent is a habitual liar and goal post mover. Everything he says today can be contradicted with his own words from a year or two ago. He also is constantly perpetrating that Valve always takes 30% which isn't true. He pretends to care about devs but forces crunch with the threat of being fired should you opt out. He makes an effort to fuck over consumers to "better" his shitty client. He is making an effort to strip any power from the consumer and give it to devs to dictate what is said or done with products.

i already have over 2 thousand games on steam why would i change plataforms now?
specialy for one that doesnt offer all the shit steam does

You're replying to an ESL epic shill/marketer. Please ne patient with him and never forgot Tiananmen Square.

People could start demanding DRM free physical copies using flash drives or SD cards so we can actually get something in return for our money, not have to go through any of these anti-consumer console wannabe platforms, and not financially reward digital distribution and all the negatives that come with it such as rampant DLC and mtx, games being intentionally released unfinished since they can patch it through the platform which only further encourages games to be released that way, and so on.
Valve and Epic are laughing all the way to the bank with your money and not giving you a damn thing for it, it is a donation and they don't even have the decency to admit it to you pay pigs, all while collecting your data to make even more money.

I just can't be bothered. There's not a single release they could put exclusively on that platform to make me want to bother installing it, there are so many games already available on everything else.

>nothing really great on it
>games will come to steam or other stores later

>I want to play the Division 2
No you don't dude. Let me save you the trouble. That game has literally, not figuratively, the exact same issues as the Division 1 did on launch. They're not going to fix it for at least a year. It seems like the whole dev team was replaced by newbies because they're making the exact same mistakes and falling into the same pratfalls. It's like they learned nothing. All they've done since it was released in nerf builds, and increase gearscore to make you grind more. They released one raid which was simultaneously too boring and too difficult to be worth completing. They made it so you couldn't properly target craft anything onto guns, since recalibration got overhauled to be shit. So the game is tedious as fuck.

The fucking /vg/ thread died because of the lack of support for the game from ubisoft. Let that sink in. A /vg/ thread died.

China also doesn't have any information of worth from me. I block all ads I can and I don't have any meaningful personal information on my gaming computer.

Does anyone care about steam's trading cards? Honest question.

Epic as a company turned to shit years ago and I do not wish to give them money, even by extension.

What's the point of this revenge pirating then?

The current steam sale is such a burning pile of dogshit I'm genuinely considering checking out Epic to see if they have shit that actually works

there's literally nothing wrong with the sale.

Tim already payed for the copies lost to piracy so who cares.

Literally bought games using steambucks made from selling them
Each card is like a 10 cent discount that accumulates over time

Also this
> publishers already paid to game developers
So pirating doesnt harm on steam either.

>10 cents per card
For what games? A lot of games' cards go for $0.03 which means you get $0.01. I'm sure it depends on what kinds of games you play though. The games with worthless cards are often the ones that were in bundles. I'm guessing games that cost actual money have more valuable trading cards because fewer people own them...?

I can't believe are trying to push this idea that Epic is the fucking underdog

You silly dumb idiots,
you should not let epic win,
but you should not let epic lose either.
You should help epic to be a comparable competitor to steam, so they will fight each other while we gain profits.
But you should not support epic on their exclusive war either, because when they got so much exclusives, they will be monopolizing the market, and then start fucking with the consumers.
Look at steam sales, we went from plenty of crazy sales with 90% off, to now it's just like a weekend sales, but just more games and involved.

Remember, no monopolize allowed, either it's steam or epic.

Fuck off, /r/edditard

Eh even if you dislike the current steam sale, you won't really gain much switching over to epic at this point since their library is much smaller and most anything you can buy there will probably be cheaper on steam during the sale outside of the handful of Epic exclusives that you can't get on steam at all.

Not that guy but generally newer games will have 10 cents+ cards but that's cause the supply is low at that point. After a certain point, yea cards just drop down to 1 cent.

Piracy is legal in my country

Even fortnite is dying, doesn't help that Minecraft has a sudden resurgence

Bad AAA trash the game? I am sorry, but even if I was paid to play Borderlands 3 I wouldn't touch it. I don't give a fuck about "hype" which is just another term for excited normalfaggots.

>Because it's competition
It's the attempt of an immoral company to monopolize the PC gaming market. Even more disgusting is their affiliation with the Chinese goverment. They aren't keeping Google at bay, they're destroying PC gaming. There hasn't been a gaming company more disgusting than Epic in the history of the industry. You're complaining about the imaginary threat of Stadia but I trust Google a hundred times more than Tencent or Epic. If we're talking about evil companies then Epic is a prime example of an evil company. I would even say that they don't even attempt to hide their dirty laundery, but it's likely that they are just so incompetent at hiding their malicious practices that I don't even perceive it as an attempt at hiding.

Not mutually exclusive. Usually piracy does indeed have zero impact, when we're just talking about regular old games where the only issue is whether people care enough to open their wallets or not. When there's another issue, such as some shitty store holding the game hostage where the only options are their store that nobody uses, or piracy, it's a different matter.

Sorry, but we're not accepting any more console cancer on PC.
If anything, all game stores should follow the GoG model, or get literally wiped out of existence by a nuke or two.

Tim is right. Even if the Epic Store had 1:1 feature parity with Steam, people would still not use it. Exclusives are the only way to compete, and it's a good thing to pressure Valve to stop being lazy and go back to making video games.

THIS
Fuck yeah.

The CCP and Winnie have worked really hard to marry the Chinese identity with the party. Don't fall for the brain washing.

Well remember how gaben refused refunds for years untill Europe and aus almost blocked steam? Or how he paid publishers to kill physical copies? Or how he promised Kickstarter keys for funders just to deny them to attack his competitor?

Gaben lost all credibility years ago, now he's slowly showing how greedy he is

And then steam starts to do exclusives instead of doing good games, and as this is allowed microsoft does it and put everything locked down to the Windows 10 store, and then origin does it and then..
Can you see where it gets?
You don't fight evil by giving it even eviler ideas.

Why is Timmy so butthurt about steam anyway?

But in this context "stop being lazy" means likewise doing scummy exclusivity deals. Which would just compound the issue and further turn PC into this consolefag-tier bullshit.

Stop dodging the question in typical Chink / Wu Mao fashion.

They are literally doing nothing. They aren't developing anything. They aren't adding anything. They are just giving money to NOT publish on another platform.
Now THAT is peak lazy.

They’re a blight on the industry I’m not a faggot that just consumes product cause it exists epic is a shitty featureless launcher and has zero games worth downloading knowing they have problems keeping accounts protected I’d rather just pirate any of their exclusives as it’s unironically easier and more safe everyone I know that has had it installed has had their account compromised at some point
>inb4 some faggot tells me I’m gonna get a virus
Only people who are computer illiterate say this you have to be a mighty retard to install a virus when you torrent

How about muh yet another launcher

Valve was always provide keys before selling the game on the store. They changed their rule to make Kickstarter fags mad at epic. No one understand that because each time epic is involved they must be the evil ones, otherwise it doesn't fit the narrative. Free Tibet

>was always
Ching chong ching chong.
tell me the truth, did you actually pee in my coke?

Have you seen Tim's Twitter feed lately? Dude is going off the deep end, and there's already evidence that the Fortnite bubble has popped (thetechgame.com/News/sid=20312/pubg-quietly-sells-47-million-in-2019-as-fortnite-continues-decline.html).

Since when you were under the impression that your "coke" wasn't my sperm mixed with water and my shit?

So now every time a kikestarter makes an empty promise of being on steam and then decides to go epic exclusive instead, it's now valve's responsibility to pay for and maintain servers for a game that they're not even allowed to sell because the developer went behind their backs and spurned them? Come on now.

they paid for exclusivity
that's some bullshit that doesn't need to exist on PC

>Valve was always
>Free Tibet

I'm totally not Chinese guys. Really. Look at me

How many times should we have these threads before they lose their relevancy

At least it can't get as bad as on consoles, because consoles are closed platforms. Make a game exclusive on a console, you need to buy that console and the game. But on PC, if I don't want to use epic's shitty launcher for games they paid for exclusive rights, I can still always just pirate them and avoid needing to use their launcher as well as not supporting them financially.

>Didn't get the reference

As long as they allow someone to promise their game on steam? Yes, it's their job.

Also poor valve, the cost of bandwidth will kill them. Not that it's about that of course, daddy Tim already proposed to paid for that.

A store that actively tries to stop me from warning other customers of garbage products is a store without accountability.
Plus no rabi-ribi.

I wanted it too. But, a couple of things turned me off. First, I fucking HATED the Dark Zone. Why put the best gear in the game in a PVP zone where you have people already decked out in the best gear with literal hundreds of hours of play time in your way preventing you from ever getting the same gear. The Dark Zone was a great idea in concept but it was a fucking disaster. The Division 2 will up this cancerous toxicity with multiple Dark Zones - no thanks.

Secondly, they're fucking greedy. I understand they want to make money, I'm cool with that - if they can't make money, they can't make more games. However, their sales are a fucking joke. 5% off? Seriously? That's not a sale, it's an insult. Hell, they're still charging almost full price for The Division.

I loved the story and co-op part of The Division, which is why I was looking forward to part 2, but naw, if the price comes down, if they bring it back to Steam, if they do something to balance to the Shit Zone - maybe then.

This is an example of a Epic shill when he is met with a real explanation on why no one wants to use his chink shit launcher. Good job just dodging what that user just said and replying like a total retard.

>In a fair match up, piracy is always more convenient
Eh, not really. I can't see how piracy is more convenient than GOG for example, or even Steam. It's free, of course, but even in the best-case scenario where you can easily find the game with a perfectly working crack the legitimate services will generally have it beat on ease of use. They provide easy updates, Steam provides features like Workshop and controller support/rebinding, playing on Linux, in-home streaming and all kinds of shit. Cracks sometimes take a while to come out, sometimes they don't work right, you either have to wait longer for game patches or in the worst case you don't get them at all, DLC management/installation isn't as seamless and may provide extra headaches (I remember the PITA of pirating game expansions and having to track down the precise game patch required in order to install it back in the day) and so on.

A legitimate game distribution service which works well certainly provides a superior experience to piracy, especially GOG which provides the same download & install 'experience' as piracy but without any of the potential issues.

Why the fuck would Valve issue Steam keys for a game which is not being sold on Steam?

BOOM

>exclusives are paying off when most of them have barely sold on epic
The only one that will likely even make a profit will be Borderlands 3 and that profit will be lowered due to how much they likely paid for it to be a timed exclusive.

Go away Tim

My biggest issue with the store is it's very obvious and blatant focus on being a store for developers instead of consumers. I haven't benefitted in any meaningful capacity from it's intrusion into the game distribution market, besides acquiring a few mediocre titles that im never going to play for free.

I don't have any actual or particular issue with using the store, but, it hasnt given me any reason to use it besides forced exclusives.

The only people it is paying off for are shills and Chinks.

>Valve
We'll make a good gaming platform that people want to use.
Then developers will flock to it.

>Epic
We'll make a platform that benefits devs the most, because I'm a dev, and I understand.
The users will flock to it.
Right?

I had an Epic account for Unreal Tournament 4 before Fortnite and the Epic Games Store happened, and recently deleted it once I realized they'd automatically migrated it and sending me promotional emails. Here's what it takes to delete your account:

>email their support saying "I want my account deleted" after going through all the stuff required on their site
>they email back for confirmation
>confirm I want my account and all info deleted
>they email back saying "We have reviewed your account and see that you have existing game purchases and/or progress in Fortnite." and ask for what is basically a third fucking confirmation
Keep in mind the only thing I've ever even clicked on was UT4, which was free. I've never even played Fortnite or logged in to any kind of Epic account since it became EGS outside of logging in to delete my account.
>confirm again
>get another email asking for a fourth fucking confimation that I want my account deleted
>finally get it deleted

Redpill me on Perfect World? What makes them as bad as, if not worse, than Tencent?

Isn't it incredible how, in all these threads, there's not a single reason to use EGS listed other than "but Valve!" Chink shills aren't very good at this. List one single reason to use EGS. That's it. One good reason.

>it's ok because others do it too argument
OP is either a shill or retarded.

I got all free games so far and I'll continue to add the free games to my account.
Only played Subnautica though.

I don't have to feel bad about pirating games anymore. Thanks Epic!

It occurs to me in epic's world, games like rabi-ribi wouldn't even be given a chance. That's a little sad really.

perfect world isn't worse than tencent. Mainly because tencent is much larger.

>my chink company is better than the other chink company

Games are way way way expensive oustide US.

this post doesn't make any sense at all unless you're dumb enough to think that the epic store existing means all other means of digital distribution are permanently deleted

offer drm free games, which seems unlikely because even the demo of heavy rain got denuvo'd
enjoy fighting over shitty launchers

I wonder if that was implied by saying epic's world you fucking moron.

and thats how u detect chink

>tfw regional pricing only raises prices in my country
DMC 5, cyberpunk 2077 and many more games are 25% more expensive, but most games are just slightly more expensive, probably due to a fee of exchanging currencies

>Like what it did so wrong to get all that hate?
Instead of competing fairly by making a platform that people use voluntarily because it's good and user-friendly service, they'd rather shit all over the BEST in the business while simultaneously backstabbing their own users with spying and unsecure accounts.

You can blame it chink racism all you want but Epic is a shit platform and nobody wants to use it because their exclusives aren't their own so they're practically trying to monopolize new games in addition of making greedy publishers ruin the chances of good games.

Shenmue 3 was the last straw,
They literally took a CROWDFUNDED game that was already advertised and promised to come on steam, and made it their exclusive.
All the backers were rightfully furious, because why the fuck would anyone want to install epic? there's literally no benefits to it.
This, plus now the PHYSICAL copy that was promised to the backers is now a fucking EMPTY BOX WITH AN EPIC KEY.
Think about that for a moment and then tell me this is fair / acceptable.

It's not racism to state the obvious:
Epic is a tool for Chinese tradewar
Prove me wrong, you can't.

I seriously hope people start suing epic soon, and I hope EVERYONE demands their collected data from epic, just so they can see how big the list is and be baffled at how much they spy on you.

You better not talk shit about old Father Christmas you nigger, he gave me an Xbox, more than anything you ever done to me bitch

Trump has praised them, though.
He recongnizes them as a business competitor and a threat because everyone relies on cheap chinese labor, making China rich while removing jobs and tax profits from their own respective countries.

Keep coping, we all know those smug centrist memes are literally just a camoflage for your shilling or seething manchild tears because you're afraid your next console will cost a couple of dollars more.

Seryoga, the only point to buy games is for a collection.
And you can't get any full pack in EGS. Why the fuck do I need Metro Exodus without 2033 and last light? Shenmue 3 w/o Shenmue 1 & 2? Phoenix Point w/o XCOM? Outer worlds w/o New Vegas and Alpha Protocol?

it's dumb because you're dumb lmao, can't you read

I am using it cause I'm not a sperg, actually I prefer it when possible because they give a bigger cut to the publishers.

You're confusing your favourite subreddits with the gaming community at large, tons of people are using it.

You seem obsessed with it as well which is pretty interesting, they're definitely making a big impact else Steam shills wouldn't be so terrified

China will grow larger.

I mean we do have to thank Tim theres a whole new life in the piracy scene now that there's a new big bad to fight against

honestly all that tells me is that steam is bloated as fuck.

i go out of my way to torrent every epic exclusive

>muh chinks

Yeah. Steam is perfectly adequate, why would I give my money to chinks instead?

>Who needs to live in houses with their bloated features? Living in caves and shitting in a hole are perfectly fine.
Honestly, all that tells me is that you are a fucking moron.

That's only cause they got called out and exposed for working their devs like dogs to generate content for fortnite

For all of the great features it isn't as bloated as you think especially compared to Epic which has barely any features but is twice as bloated as Steam

Attached: Launcher memory.png (1127x955, 149K)

I will never stop being amazed by how much cash Epic throws around for exclusives while this is the state of the product they are peddling.

>2 months away from launch
Holy fucking shit. That's actually fucking hilarious that the launcher is still this fucking barren and still with awful UI. Although the new fortnite season starts in a couple weeks so maybe they might revamp the launcher maybe

If anything, it gives them even less of a reason to work on the launcher since they're too busy with Fagnite.

Steam use the most resources out of any launcher. Epic uses 14 mb if ram in idle and steam uses over 100mb of ram in idle.

Steamdrones have nothing but lies. Deep down they know they are wrong and steam has to die for the sake of gaming industry

Noo, you cant steal games from steam. Piratebros only steal from epic because of their anti-consumer practices.

Attached: 1561978757940.png (978x972, 397K)

But I already use the EGS.

Heavy Rain, B2S, and Detroit were the final nail. Those three games are more worth than the complete Steam library. For example the first few minutes in Heavy Rain where you explore your house and just have a comfy family life had a much bigger impart on me than all other games I have ever played combined. Also rip little birdy, you will be missed

Steam is running 7 process all the time you fucking retard. Steam does not add another process ever, instead it increase ram usage in them.

As i said before, nothing but lies.

Found Randy

And yet you claimed steam idling would always be using more than 100MB
Why're you calling me the liar here?

10, then multiply that by the total amount of times someone in the industry lied about something and / or fucked you over one way or another.

>"REEE STEAM USES MORE MEMORY THAN MY BAREBONES EPIG LAUNCHER!"

god you shills are pathetic
you realize it would be fucking alarming if epic somehow managed to be equally demanding?

Don't tell them a few tabs in any web browsers is 1.5 gigs of ram

Jezz, why did i claimed that.... maybe because it's true?
This is steam with store open, notice how ram usage is higher than in idle mode from here
Also, no downloading in both cases ofcourse
Epic with store open takes 70mb of ram and around 20 in idle.

Attached: storeopen.png (1133x939, 1.56M)

I quite literally just posted a screenshot of steam using less than 50MB

My firefox is currently at 6 gigs, almost two hundred tabs, I think

Who cares about ram, these processes would be paged anyway.

That you did, unfrotunetly steam is constantly using 7 processes. Your screenshot included whole 3. Weird, it's almost like you're full of shit

Cause FUCK YOU thats why

The fact that a shopping cart is part of steam's pros should tell you everything you need to know about epic games
