GoG already existed before epic. Multiple-storefronts existed before Epic. Epic keeps trying to act like its promoting something new when it isn't. Epics storefront isn't even worth using compared to the storefronts that already exist.

Steam drones are tiresome

It's strange because he seems to be congratulating exactly the opposite of EGS is doing.

Cope steamcel

You mean the argument that Epic is equivalent to 2004 steam in 2019? or the fact that Steam has never payed a developer for an exclusive? That image has always worked more to the detriment of you Epic shills since its such a poorly thoughtout image and I don't believe anyone has ever actually seen it as anything other than a very very poorly made attempt at some sort of jab at steam.
I almost think the image is some sort of deliberately poorly made bait meant to be an attack at Epic shills for their poorly made arguments as well as the fact that the image lends to itself with the whole "poorly made chinese knockoff"

Don't try to jump on the GOG wagon, Epishill. Even Desura was better for the market than Epic store.

You two are right.

Epic drones are despicable.

They didn't said it was a digital exclusive forced by steam.
And it's available in boxed version anyway.

Yes? Valve only requested the demo to be gone

GOG is practically a charity at this point, they make next to no money from the site while actively damaging other companies brands by trivialising piracy by allowing users to download DRM free installers of every game on the site, it may be their major selling point but they'll never do well because of it.

Is this seriously the best you guys got?

Steam isn't a monopoly as a storefront though, you can buy steamkeys from other distributors though, and steam today does not stop people from putting their game on other platforms. Guess what cannot be said for epic?

It does if the "defense" why one is better then the other is that they've never done it themselves, which is simply wrong. Not to defend any of them, but it shows the hypocrisy that some try to argue with.

EGS won't even be a thing in like two years.

On the contrary, you read stuff that doesn't exist.

They said it was exclusive to download, but that decision could have been on Introversion only.
The only thing your picture is showing is that steam asked them to remove the demo, they might as well precise that steam asked them to go full exclusive for digital as well, but they didn't. Or at least we have no proof of that.

remember when we had securom and starforce(both literal spyware) and you had to manually patch your games? good times, fuck steam.

Nowhere in that archive does it say Steam payed them for exclusivity.

ok I believe you

Quote me the part where steam paid them for exclusivity on digital downloads.

The reason why I think steam is better for me, the consumer, is because they have the superior store, better UI, generally more user friendly, etc. Epic's bullshit with buying up exclusives is desperation tactics and basically trying to bully steam out of the market, that won't work obviously but that doesn't mean Epic aren't assholes. It also means that I have a very good reason to fire up a torrent client again. Finally, the example given of only a demo version being restricted is fucking pathetic, the game could still be bought off of steam and no amount of blah blah and false comparisons will change that fact.

It's not the same tactics retard, nice try though.

I've used both (from gamersgate) and it was literally zero hassle and much more convenient than Steam
>connect to the internet once and press activate

Literally the beginning of the 2nd paragraph. But don't worry, I don't expect you to understand it since it doesn't say what you want it to say. Keep living in your dreamworld, it's what you need to do anyway when your employer is losing it's market and eventually will get rid of you.

>>securom and starforce were better then steam
LOL THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF EPIC SHILLS. TIM, GET SOME NEW CATAMITES TO COME IN HERE AND SHITPOST, THESE FAGGOTS ARE WAAAAY TOO FUCKING OBVIOUS.

Steam isn't losing shit, the only thing the EGS is causing is an uptick in internet piracy.

>Implying any of those but cloud saves are even relevant

>having an activation pool at all

>"since it doesn't say what you want it to say."
So you're admitting it doesn't state exactly that steam paid / required for exclusivity?
There, wasn't that hard, wasn't it.

You fucking drone.
Starforce and securom were bad when they were CD PROTECTION and made it a bitch to back up your games or run them off HDD.
The later online versions were completely transparent. Also feel free to explain how they spy on you.

Niggers fuck off.

Its fucking 2005, loong before any of you fucking faggot were born.
This is also back when Valve have to work with them to put the game on store, essentially becoming a co-publisher, before the all important 2008 SDK that allow any publisher to release the game on Steam without Vavle direct involvement.

Expect it does, but as I wrote before, you don't want to see what you don't want to see.
Just as expected again.

>literally says they had to remove it because of the exclusivity
And another steamshill joins the fray.

So, Epic is as shitty as Steam already was in 2005.

>before the all important 2008 SDK that allow any publisher to release the game on Steam without Vavle direct involvement
You mean, just as with the EGS now? Who would thunk...

Seeing you cornered like that is delicious.

The best is, even if you were able to prove steam did that by the past, that wouldn't validate Epic's doings at all, because that happened in 2000 fucking 5.

Reminder that Valve is also holding thousands of essential mods hostage in the workshop, if you bought your game somewhere else, you're fucked.

That is literally not true as Workshop is like their Store; A submission and distribution page.
Its up to the fucking dev to enable it or offer it somewhere else outside of Steam.

That's simply not true, nigga. If you buy a game you can use mods from wherever you want. The workshop makes integration a bit "easier". Then again, just coping filed from one folder to another shouldn't be that hard to begin with.

>When I directly quote the passages

If you buy your game outside of Steam and it's not steam activated, you won't be able to download a mod off the Workshop.

If the author upload it somewhere else you can download it without Workshop.

There's also third party site that help fetch you the files without opening the steam, just look it up.

Except he doesn't. Multistore has been a thing for a long time. He is just trying to coat the whole exclusive anti-consumer thing by trying to go "oh look how great the others are doing too" to win some idiots vote.

>GOG has only generated $7.8k net profit in 2018
It excluded any profit coming from their own games, which is the reason why it exists in the first place, so they get as much money as they possibly can from PHYSICAL PC copies. Yes, physical. Basically all the 3rd party games on GOG fund the entire distribution platform along with the salaries and other related costs.

All of above?

Its not Steam fault that the devs does not want to invest into their own distribution platform, or even bother with any other bullshit store front application.
It is especially so for Japanese devs that rarely bothers with western market without paying tons for publisher. Just use the Steam open source SDK and submit to Steam without even talking to Valve or paying extra.

Why can't people make the distinction between Steam the Store and Steam the PC gaming tool?

Like I never fucking buy games on the steam store. There are always better deals elsewhere. But the Steam toolset and service is pretty much godly and will probably never be matched since even Epic is piggybacking off of it right now.

Not only an illiterate retard, but that new as well? Besides it just shows that there was no way to remove all physicals from the store and replace them with steam codes. I know a little zoom zoom might nowt really get that, but there was a time when you could buy games in stores and they had only a steam code in them, unlike now, when you simply can't buy them at all.

>STEAM PAYS THEM TO GET IT ON EPIC!

I actually looked this up and found this google.com/amp/s/www.gamesindustry.biz/amp/2010-08-19-introversion-steam-sale-saved-our-company

The difference here is that Epic isn't actually trying to compete with Steam, it's just trying to strongarm itself a market share. It's not providing a better service. Their storefront is shit, and they haven't even bothered to respond to the accusations that their launcher is spying on users.
Price is nothing. The users that care about price will just pirate everything. To compete with Steam, you have to do something better than Steam, and so far the chinks have shown no interest in that.

Software has fixed price to make, after that it literally prints money. Refusing to adjust price to local market buy strength is sign of lack of economical education and all it does is making you earn less money. Its 100 copies sold for 60$ or 100 000 copies sold for 6$.

Even nutella costs less in shitholes. Why? Because its the only way to sell it there. By ignoring this you only support piracy. As gabe told it once: piracy is problem of service.

Its open source. The thing is nobody but steam cares about linux atm. They are too lazy to even implement linux support, they dont consider 1% of the market to be worth their time.

Once the installation of the game is completed, I used winetricks against my proton installation to add dependencies needed by the game. I imagine you could achieve the same thing by running the installers in the game's redist directory. I plan on making a video tutorial outlining the process and posting it on Cup of Linux. I will note that the gog.com installer for DAO dropped an error at the end of the installation but the game appears to work just fine even with all of the mods I added to it.

Damn you got us user. Nobody is doing viral marketing for epic on one of the biggest gaming platforms in the world. Its all random anons shitposting for free defending epic for no reason.

Reminder that while 33~% of those sales went to GOG. 50% went to Epic. Steam probably only got like 25% of people ordering Cyberpunk there.

>Other launchers are so irrelevent that developers putting games on them is a courtesy, not a necessity.
Yep, that sounds like some fair competition to me

I don't mind that Epic is bringing competition against Steam, psuedo-monopolies are bad.

But there's not a single good exclusive on the Epic Store yet.

>But Metro Exodus
Very overrated, I'm sorry but I can never fully enjoy that game when a gritty shooter doesn't have lean. I'll stick with STALKER.

Correct. You guys love the attention

It's almost as if you didn't read what I wrote. Or maybe you didn't but are just not capable to understand it. Lets go with that, it gives you at least the credibility to not be completely retarded, just delusional.

Metro exodus is no longer a epic exclusive so they dont even have that anymore.

That's depended on the publisher. Most do it, or for a 5$ upgrade, but it's not a rule in the Steam ToS.

>Reminder that while 33~% of those sales went to GOG. 50% went to Epic.

The absolute fucking state, GoG is good but it's pretty sad you need to promote other stores and STILL don't have a shopping cart.

as a consumer, the only thing I care about are low prices and convenience. and the Epic Store is ass.

You have no idea how many (you) one can get trough it.

GOG existed before Steam. There's always been multi-stores.
Seriously, is Tim actually retarded or just the stupidest snake oil salesman?

Outer Wilds is pretty cool.
But yes, I completely agree. Do they even curate the fucking games going on there because I ain't paying for early access trash no matter how much I like Supergiant.

They have fuck all good exclusives aside from maybe BL3 if you're that much of a Borderlands fag I guess?

Boxed version wasn’t a Steam code so what you were saying is fucking irrelevant.

>all of those developers chose to use steam because it was more convenient for them, they can still release their games on other platforms if they choose

>devs are literally paid to only release their game on one platform and are forbidden to release it on any other

Buy off a 3rd party site for cheaper prices then what Epic is touting. Oh, and Epic removes all 3rd party key sales if the game goes exclusive with them.

Thanks, now i can finally buy hgames i pirated years ago from dlsite on steam with actual english interface and easy one point click on buy button without moonrunes.

I am looking forward to more releases. Shame a lot of very good hgames on dlsite are from japan autists who outright refuse to sell it to westeners. Is this question of pride or something?

But that's my point you fucking imbecile. Christ, I really hope you're not doing this shit for free. No sane person should behave this stupidly for no return.

SNK boss already revealed the money they get is from Epic preordering thousands of copies. So no it's just Epic bloating their own numbers up and trying to pretend it's popular.

That's a weird thought though.

When have GOG and Steam ever been enemies?

This greedy and lame fucking shill trying to latch on to GoG is making me hate Epic even more and sadly start to hate GoG a little because they're allowing it which they don't deserve.

That is Epic own games, show me third party title such as Metro Exodus, Satisfactory, Phoenix Point etc.

Dunno, maybe Steam got angry at the gog connect thing and forced them to stop?

They never were. GOG started out with more humble intentions with older games while Valve was looking towards the future with recent titles.
Doesn't this GOG Connect thing also work with Steam? So clearly GOG isn't taking a side in this war that Tim started for himself, despite the fact that he's the only one fighting it while Valve just ignores him.

Unless I'm not reading this right, isn't this GOG Connect thing what Steam already does, allowing people to add non-steam games/software to Steam's library?

Ah, okay. So basically if you buy a game on steam, add it to GOG, assuming it's also available on GOG, I can then download it from GOG if I wanted to.
Cool, I guess. Don't know how many people would want this but it's something.

>tfw lived long enough to see Yea Forums defend DRM
I shouldnt have wake up from my last surgery

fpbp

I can explain this.

Valves 30% cut isn't for show. It is used to pay a bunch of fees and costs. Epics 12% cannot pay for these, so all those extra costs and fees are dumped on the developer/publisher of the game. Who are dumping them on the customer.

The reason that games on Epics store are not cheaper despite the developer/publisher getting 18% extra from each sale is because that 18% has to go towards various fees anyway. The only difference is who is paying it.

In the case of Borderlands 3, the customer is being made to pay it. Which means Epic gets 12%, Gearbox gets 88% and you pay 118%.

i lost a million brain cells just by reading this.

He can get fucked. GOG gives you a benefit over steam with drm free games. What benefit does epic store give?

>using twitch views as a metric
Its all so tiresome

Tim shot himself in the foot. Now all the publishers have to do is tell him, "Either pay us or we won't even bother with your store" He set the precedent. I'm guessing he's just hoping the Fortnite gravy train doesn't stop running.

Except he's right. How long does it take to download a pirated GOG copy of a game? As soon as it launches on their store, anyone can buy it and put it up on The Pirate Bay. DUMB Poles obviously thought they were the good guys because "oh noooo DRM bad!" but of course they just shot themselves in the foot by making games a lot easier to pirate. Buncha retards.

Epic is the only storefront left that understands that simple is best

CDPR should have excluded Epic Games for maximum brownie points.

Genuine question, how much do you get paid to shill epic store per hour?

They still have the Unreal engine to bail them, who knows how Tencent would react though, but yeah. Right now Epic is a timebomb.
They lost all good PR they could've gotten which means that they have to improve their store faster than it takes for Fortnite to go under.

yeah imagine if a store didnt have a shopping cart and i had to run back and forth to get everything i wanted

Doing that would run counter to their goal of unifying all launchers making them look like hypocrites while bringing more attention to EGS
And like it or not, EGS has exclusives. Even though the reason is scummy, they need to be integrated in.
On the plus side, now EGS must keep getting new exclusives because if they dont, nobody will buy games from them

I actually laughed out loud, good job user

This is either bait or a really desperate attempt at trying to not sound retarded, your comparison is so retarded that I honestly pray that you're being ironic and that you're not actually on the same intelligence level of a potato.

Okay, and how does there being a contarct effect the consumer?
If there was no contract with Epic for metro but it was still exclusive, it would be the same.
If there was a contract with valve for DMC5 it would be the same as it is now.

okay drone now lets take your example:
Imagine that you can only buy one thing each time you go to the store.

The sad thing is everyone wants a piece of that chink pie.

Not the same thing brainlet. It's more like buying a car. Do you buy several cars at once?

it makes every purchase more personal and thoughtful

it shields you from predatory marketing schemes

Look, shithead. The fact of the matter is, Epic is acting like it needs to compete with 2004/2005 Steam practices when what they really should be focusing on is offering a better service than their current iteration of the store. The fact that Steam did that shit back in 2005 when barely any guidelines on how to run a digital storefront existed does not excuse Epic doing the same shit now when people have less tolerance for that kind of bullshit tactic. It's like saying that launching a car with no breaks in 2019 is fine because the first car prototype ever made didn't have breaks.

Add to the fact Epic has no other games being made or any other game to profit from except Fortnite. Yet Valve is the ones who "needs" to make games again.

>implying I made the first post
Not only retarded but a newfag at that? Nice combination, my sides look forward to read even more stupid shit from you.

Ah yes, the good old "I see his point, but x makes the statement invalid despite being superficial".

As for this thread in general, I'd say Epic would be a threat if they weren't utterly incompetent. They're too disconnected from their actual userbase to beat Steam, because they're so far up their own butt they think that's the route to go. I can get behind what GoG's doing though. Many projects tried, but a lot of them are stuff like built into Steam, or some Github repository that doesn't hold as much utility. "it's just a shortcut launcher that never really gets updated". I think GoG offers a middle ground, honestly.

i take no shill seriously that says that
Epic abandoned abandoned Unreal Tournament 4, Paragon and even the original Fortnite Save The World
and yet these shills keep saying Valve needs to make games?

Valve don't finish games because they aren't critical enough of themselves.

Tbh the only redeeming thing about Epic.

Valve is making games and a few have released, it's so far not what people want from them but they act as if Epic wouldn't make another GaaS trashfire like they've done 2 times already.

That's a strong cope, Dota characters like drow,brew are literally blizzshit copies only Skelleton King got the rope because of china its old news.

>emerging markets

You know what "emerging market" Epic has targeted? Console players and the next generation of gamers. Epic wins again.

Man, the butthurt is strong in this one
>chinkshill thinks he's winning something
Oh no, Ive lost! I'll be sure to cry and whine about it as I play the dozen games I got off steam during their sale for chump change while you keep bragging about how epic is gonna kill steam, overthrow the monopoly and save the industry without the useless fluff that is shopping carts or cloud saves
Top kek

Makes sense. Same reason why Windrunner was changed to Windranger. It has nothing at all to do with a WoW character of the same name, or a Diablo boss that looks like Skeleton King

Sorry but I don't see what makes Valve lazy when they spent much of their recent time developing hardware to play their games like Nintendo does. They weren't making games for that time due to this.

man how has hardly anyone noticed that that's Chet Falisek and pointed out who that is. Is Yea Forums all zoomers nowadays?

Hardware that is fucking garbage.

People are refunding the Index by droves.
Cope you drone.

>more like because they dont care about old IPs
Nah, they didn't have enough faith in Paragon to add community servers before they shut down their own. Or continue development on it. And Unreal Tournament died once they smelt the VBux.

>More like because they are lazy
They've been constantly developing stuff internally for forever from the looks of it, but cancel a majority of what they try. And internally, Valve doesn't particularly beautiful (Gabe firing the staff that was making HL3, further putting it into development hell).

I mean, in general, they're doing more than Epic with less staff. (VR hardware and software, continuous Steam updates, constant content stream for CS:GO and DOTA). But to be fair, Epic doesn't really have much of a framework ready.

I think my points still hold up. And in regards to Valve, Gabe might be the issue more than anything. No reason why a studio should be stuck in a constant stream of development hell for this long, unless something went really wrong.

>still goes with the chink card for someone not agreeing with him
Seeing you cornered like that is just delicious.
The best is, even if you were to simply link the posts that claim what you say, it wouldn't invalidate that 2005 and 2019 are simply not the same.

Yeah it's garbage but it doesn't make them lazy you fuck. Besides the Index isn't what I'm talking about.

You fucking cock sucking faggot stop sucking the fatfucks dick and get your brain straight, Skelleton King was already censored in china back then before the WK change (it was a huge mess), it was easier to change the whole modell for hats compatibility reasons.

>Changing the topic
Pathetic, but lets go with it
>it wouldn't invalidate that 2005 and 2019 are simply not the same
Agreed. So why is EGS getting exclusives, fucking up sales and not improving their store with the bare necessities that are considered baseline for video game stores like automatic addition of games to the storefront, shopping carts and cloudsaves? Why does Sergey default to 'bu-but steam in 2005!' when asked about this?
I eagerly await your butthurt cope post

A launcher for a launcher for a video game.
Truly the future!

Dota 2 uses it and 3 other in dev games are using it.

I think the issue with Valve is that they simply shifted focus without bothering to tell anyone. All people want from them is good games but they keep betting harder on hardware.
Which is understandable since it's a big market and there are enough gaps for Valve to strive in, but they're not really in development hell. It's just that their work structure lends itself more towards new ideas get bonuses, maintenance on those ideas doesn't get bonuses so devs have less incentive to actually stay with a project for long periods of time, at least in the software development side, I don't keep up with their hardware side. Are the Steam consoles or whatever they were called still a thing?

I think Dota2 is also running on Source2, although I think Valve seriously needs to up their game if they want Source to even come close to competing with Unity/Unreal/etc.

It's the second time you got btfo but you are still thirsty, you should suck more chinese dick like your master gaben :)

Sergey used Twitch viewership to claim people are interested in World war z despite the fact they paid a well known streamer to shill the game for 2 days before it died off.

Uyghur reeducation camps.

>GOG

>Epic

Dota 2, Artifact, and Underlords are all using Source 2.
Also I think there's also some weird shit going on with CSGO regarding Source as well but I don't really follow that game much to know.

>it's flopping hard.
It never intended to be a consumer product, they stated as much. It's more for super enthusiast, developers, and enterprise use. They even stated one of its points was to set the standard for future headsets as price goes down.

You really want to push this angle without any research.

The higheset percentage of people working on Valve I recall are game software, and they have their hands full. But you know, Valve and cancelling projects is a thing.

Valve are still updating Steam OS and trying to make gaming better on Linux. If that goes anywhere, your guess is as good as mine.

In an interview, they said that Source 2 is likely to be worse than Unity in some regards, better than others, and view it more as a tool that suits their needs. Which is probably more in line with what Source 1 was. Not every game engine has to be structured like Unity or Unreal, or chase that same market share..

>implying I changed the topic wehn you tried to do it constantly after getting btfo with the first reply

>Why does Sergey default to 'bu-but steam in 2005!' when asked about this?
You tell me Epic shill. The fuck do I know what your employer does. But at least you accidentally aknowledge that your store is a fucked up mess. That's a beginning.

>gets btfo so badly he immediately strawmans
Every fucking time. What is it with chinkshills who just can't admit that they've fucked up?

They back port features from Source 2 to Source 1 with CS:GO.
Danger Zone is seriously stressing Source 1, though.

Did they even explain the difference between Source 1 and 2?

Tim likes to compare himself to GOG but he's more akin to GFWL, which everyone fucking despised and agrees is one of the worst things that ever happened to digital downloads. At the very least, games that release on Steam later won't be using Epic I guess, so congratulations, he's slightly less bad than GFWL, which is an accomplishment I suppose.

>Tries to move the goalpost but can't because user is kills him with another

I don't think your great leader will be pleased with your rather pisspoor performance in this shill thread. Better luck in the next one, you'll need it after your score gets fucked for this one.

>The one you replied clearly compared 2019 epic with Steam 15 years ago.
>You call him steamcel and saying he doesn't know the history when CLEARLY he stated that.

Man, Epichingchongs are the pigs of the internet now, they can only shout SWEEEEENY SWEEEEENY.

>Trust me bros

Not really. I'm not Valve News Network so I can't just readily dump you the specifics. But what I do know is
>much better Hammer editor, has frigging fbx support finally
>rendering engine that doesn't die in a room that isn't a corridor
>VR support and specific optimizations
>New UI system that doesn't lag your game whenever you want to pause
>More modern material and shader workflow (this is rumor tier I think tho)
>New Physics engine created by Valve called Rubikon
>In general less annoyances in content creation (Source 1 was a mess)

Which, I mean each of those is a big deal. If they can actually document their SDK and offer it readily available, that by itself is a massive step up. But really the fact that Valve uses Unity every now and then for VR stuff implies its still under heavy development.

He has enough money to buy shills to make it look as if people support him.

But I don't trust Tim.

Will I be able to transfer the license key to Steam or are they locked to my Epic account?

You should stop trusting your brain user, it's clearly bullshit

Remember when people kept spamming for months on end before E3 that Epic was going to announce Bloodborne and RDR2 for the EGS? And the only thing they got was fucking Chivalry 2 and some chink game?

What went wrong?

>Valve and cancelling projects is a thing.
That's part of the thing, they might actually be developing really cool stuff but five minutes before announcing it, they decide "nah, cancel it"
It's worked in the past with TF2 starting out as something completely different and 10 years of development got us a game that lasted 10 years and keeps going, but still.
>Not every game engine has to be structured like Unity or Unreal, or chase that same market share..
I agree and SFM is a good equivalent to animation software. Not really meant to be used outside of a learning tool or fan stuff, but Source 2 could be much more powerful, at least to match other modern engines, and Valve could do a bit of to incentivize devs to use Source.

There is way too much money to be made on Steam with Red dead and Epic cannot pay them for the potential losses

epic can't even get BL3 for a year exclusive, you think they can actually bribe all the big name developers for more than that?
I wouldn't be surprised if we got 3 month exclusives at some point in the future.

The Borderlands deal sounds like 2k doing that more then Epic not paying them enough.

They can't afford anyone bigger than Gearbox, who's CEO is not only corrupt as well but Gearbox is likely still feeling the burn from Battleborn.

Gog is dying thankfully. Epic Store can keep all the AAA garbage it wants, I have zero interest in another fps of the bunch

Shenmue 3 looks like hot garbage not just by what they've shown but by the development team flying through 7 million in kickstarter funding and needing to sign with deep silver to make the rest. If they had no viable funding source aside from Kickstarter, you can imagine how fucked the leadership is at Ys net. Chiv 2 is irelevant after Mordhau

>steam's days are numbered

I don't think I will be abandoning my library of 557 titles any time soon, unless EGS offers to give me the same titles.

He says as he works to further fragment the gaming community.

Sweeney is such a massive shitlord.

GoG is dying due to their overly strict curation and the fact no big players want to put their games on it due to no DRM. CDPR making and selling their own big titles is the only way they make any money off the thing. Thronebreaker was exclusive but was forced to Steam after a month because nobody bought it.

>make fun of GOG's struggling sales because CDPR hasn't released anything big recently
>pay people not to release games on GOG
>and then call GOG your ally against Steam

Gog is dying because it doesn't offer anything at all. You skip a launcher, yay, but actually no you need to install galaxy if you want all the features. You can't never take advantage of the games being drm free without breaking their tos as sharing is against the rules and might get you banned. Steam has family sharing with is exactly the opposite. When you buy on Gog you are doing them a favor and getting just a link in return, a link that will soon go 404 I'm sure

>and gives developers a better deal
WHO THE FUCK GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE DEVELOPERS

Exactly. They didn't give a shit about the consumer base so why should anyone give a shit about them?

This, letting low effort devs get even more profit doesn't make me care in the slightest because in the history of capitalism giving business cheaper operating costs has never really reduced prices. They will just make more money and continue to fuck us all over.

lmao fucking anime tier villain

Hell, it's not even the devs getting the money, is the CEO giving himself a bigger bonus while still seeing the people actually making the games as disposable.

The piece of shit tried to buy Cyberpunk for his crappy store but GoG told him to fuck off. I hope that pedo looking cunt gets gang raped by a pack of niggers.

Doubtful. If anything it should improve things as they won't be the sole PC game distributing system anymore. If they wanna stay on top, they're gonna have to outdo their competitors which will spur them into improving things to fight back against Steam.

It's hilarious how far you slime-emitting invertibrates had to dig to find something, anything at all, that could resemble a 'steam exclusive'.

This is a triple falseflag or something, right?

Well, you know the post I quoted? The post IT quoted pointed out that your one example of a "Steam exclusive" wasn't really anything like what Epic's doing.
Hell, Valve had its own first-party games, pretty popular ones too, and THEY weren't Steam exclusive. You could get them on Steam, of course, but they were also sold in brick-and-mortar stores. You know, with the game executable actually stored on the disk you could buy. 2004 sure was wild.
