Being exclusive to one store is the opposite of more options.

The prices are exactly the same as they would be on Steam (and I can't go to a third party site like Green Man Gaming to find preorder discounts).

more launchers = more inconvenience. And that's still not even more options if X game is only on this launcher and Y game is only on that launcher. It's already bad enough with all the AAA publishers requiring their own special snowflake shitty launchers like origin. Now we have to deal with fags throwing around cash to make even more artificial exclusives? No thanks.

Steam is what I've already had for over a decade, so I'm going to use that.
GoG is good too because their stuff is DRM free and doesn't require me to use a launcher
Fuck anything else.

>=More options
And yet I have less options now.

>basic bitch launcher
the epic launcher is free. it costs you NOTHING to download and install it and it opens you up to tons of content that's not on steam. i wish i worked for epic, they're the ones on the right track whereas valve is stuck in the past where they had a monopoly and could rip off developers and consumers.

Teenagers have to go against the popular (obvious) position no matter how nonsensical they are being.

Must be chinese shillers paid for this.

What track is that? When Epic exclusives a game consumers are forced from a decent launcher over to a crappier one. We gain nothing and lose a ton.

As said they are very consistent for fans. I suspect shills.

Market diversity only leads to lower prices if the item itself is being competed with. Online stores function as retailers and will mostly sell games at the suppliers price.

"I'd go so far as to say that if you're not on Steam, then you're not an indie game developer of any note," he said. "You absolutely have to be on that platform at the moment. Steam doesn't ask for exclusivity, and I know it's hard to get on there - Valve doesn't make it easy - but that's part of the challenge. If you want to run a company you have to find a way of getting your game on there."

Nothing. Tim is just using a tried-and-true tactic for gaining attention. It's the same thing you see on youtube where one e-celeb will start drama with another e-celeb who has another channel, with the purpose of siphoning off views and subs from the larger channel.

Exclusives don't combat a monopoly. They just make it so there's a bunch of micro-monopolies on a per-game basis.

How do I as a consumer benefit from having a dozen different platforms and launchers for every special snowflake exclusive game?

Thing is, I don't see any point. Why would anyone "switch" from Steam to EGS when all their games are on Steam? The only way I could see this happening is if Epic coordinated some sort of program with a bunch of major publishers so that any games attached to a steam profile could be transferred over to Epic's platform as well.

The reason for Steam's distribution was because Introversion was actually going to die, they needed the exposure, which steam was willing to provide.

And the reason why it dropped Mac and Linux was because Interversion changed its rendering engine to Direct3D, which was only available on Windows.

Epics exclusivity deal with AAA games includes a lost sale clause on top of the cash already paid up front. Literally no reason to buy EGS exclusives.

Portal writer.

Guess you'd have to know the context for that image to make sense.

Back around then, Tim and Epic abandoned PC gaming all but completely due to the rampant piracy. No one was buying anything. Instead of doing naything to fix the issue, he just packed up his fag brigade and went to consoles, making a big stink as he left. In his defense though, he wasn't the only one to do so. Pretty much everyone jumped ship.

Gabe and only Gabe came up with his idea to save PC gaming and combat piracy. Tim even called Gabe an idiot for trying but, lo and behold, he fucking did it. Not only did his planbn work, the 70/30 cut he was asking for was (and still is) miles better than the buttfucking devs get from publishing on consoles.

Tim has been jealous of the victory ever since. Now he's trying to pretend that he's some kind of warrior like Gabe looking to "save" the industry from something, only he's still too stupid to know that he's still the bad guy.

Why even continue working at that point? If I owned as much dosh as Sweeney, I'd just retire and live a life of perfect content.

Many get addicted to making more and more money. Becomes a game in and of itself. Then influence and power over others in general. But for that to motivate you that much requires you to have, or more accurately I think to lack, something that most others do not.

Epic were one of the most vocal though. I remember there being tons of threads on old Yea Forums about this and how every other day Epic or one of their people like CliffyB was constantly shitting on PC gamers and complaining.

>We'll totally be less competitive if Valve becomes more competitive

Also the higher cut is good for consumers because it means Valve can afford to mass discounts on games so publishers crying about it can fuck off.

nothing to dodge. at all. it's locking yourself into a contract that only YOU and YOU alone are responsible for. i could give a FUCK how many launchers are needed, if it's a game i want to play. then again, i've been around long enough to know to avoid all that shit and sail the seas.

I can't wait for Epic to start opening up the store to developers. The only ones still unironically defending them are indie faggots that think Valve isn't doing enough to make them rich and famous. Reality is going to hit hard when they find out that a curated store might not actually want them at all.

there is no question to answer. you fucked yourself into that "platform"
enjoy it.

It's exaggeration, but the concerns about Chinese state backed corporations exerting their influence is not without merit. Consider it an early expression of concern. Premature, not unfounded however.

No, there is a question. I asked it multiple times. You deny the existence of my clear question because you have no actual valid answer. Because I, as a end user, gain NOTHING from any sort of exclusivity war and being required to juggle multiple platforms due to shitty exclusivity deals.

He looks EXACTLY like this dog though.

From :
>How do I as a consumer benefit from having a dozen different platforms and launchers for every special snowflake exclusive game?
Answer the question you dodging piece of shit.

well steam and jewben is more chinese than tim, steam tards are just braindead

there is no question. he's a locked in steam buyfag. who thinks clicking and .exe is juggling. the truth of it stings, i know, but it IS what it IS. steam, like apple has it's users afraid.

I asked the same basic question in a previous EGS shill thread. They never give an actual response because there isn't any. All they ever do is try to sidestep the issue by either playing it off and insisting I shouldn't care, or by going off on some nonsequitur about steam.

Maybe in the future their EGSIDF handlers will update their response flowcharts.

Are you caught in a fucking infinite loop? A clear question has been asked, answer it or admit you don't have an answer.

why would valve bother lowering their cut to win this war when they can instead do nothing and watch sweeney hoist himself by his own petard

Why is your grammar terrible

Once again, that's insisting I shouldn't care. You still haven't given a positive benefit , and are instead just insisting the negative downside isn't enough to warrant complaint.

Give me a reason I should want multiple launchers and exclusivity deals.

kek, notice his grip on English seems to have weakened when pressed hard on something he doesn't have a scripted answer for.

kek, this. Usually one of my main criticisms of Valve is how lazy and hands-off they are, and how it takes a near-infinite amount of pressure to get them to move on ANYTHING, but in this case it's actually the smart move, whether intentional or not, to just completely ignore Sweeney buzzing around like an annoying insect.

He just bought a truckload full of evil to an already evil thing.

Braindead epic shill faggots need rope for their necks

>Give me a reason I should want multiple launchers and exclusivity deals.
you're a buyfag. just one that is locked into steam.

>how do you do fellow kids

>buyfag buyfag buyfag
Real piratefags don't care about steam dying you piece of fucking shit, answer the fucking question.

You're not even pretending to try to address my question anymore. Now you're just repeating the same non-sequitur canned talking point your handlers have dictated to you.

Keep going, you'll run out of insults and either have to answer of fuck off eventually.

To save you a few posts let's just assume you've already called me a cuck, a steamdrone, told me to cope and said i'm seething. Any more terms your manager has given you to call people who say things that don't adhere to your script?

Epic shill turned good.

if you follow the shill threads its easy to see the patterns/scripts. he spams the same non arguments, """"""insults"""", and disinfo in every thread.

And this is what happens once a shill has to go off-script.

How frequent are the shill threads? 24/7? Last time I was in a thread like this was last week.

Earlier someone posted a fireden hash search of the images. It's blatant.

I swear it's like somebody at the marketing agency brought up some archived posts from 5 years ago and said "just recite memes when you don't have a scripted answer".

The scripts were so clearly written by middle aged women who think they're experts at guerrilla marketing.

I made one of them crack in a thread last month, just called me a mother whore fucker or some other shit insult in broken English. Keep going, we'll crack this one too.

nearly 24/7 but they've been seething in the steam sale threads for the last two weeks

Because he's obviously an ESL.
Probably Chinese

what

And on top of that, the shills they hire are probably pajeets, and with those people if you don't have them using an exact script, things go south quickly if they have to start thinking independently.

what did he mean by this

It's especially blatant when after each shill thread reaches bump limit, they post a link to the continued thread, as if it's a rolling general thread on /vg/

>fuck you gwelio

did he commit suicide and burn down his company?

They react in a similar manner to call centre scammers when called out on their scam if you press hard enough. You're likely right on the location of the "marketing agency" and i'm willing to bet there are people in this shill's office right now pretending to be from Microsoft or the FBI.

Hello, I am Harry from Mike Rowe Soft Vindows.

I would pay good money just to be able to fuck him up.

As a GOG Boomer i would kindly ask Epic Zoomers to fuck off. We are not friends. You faggots killed Unreal Tournament.

GoG is zoomy shit though boomers have already played those games squirt

>All Valve has to do is to lower their cut.
Why just Valve? Why don't GOG, Uplay, and Origin have to lower their identical cut?

Hello Chang. Trying a new shilling tactic are we? The world is waking up to your yellow devil ways.

Their attempts to get GOG fans on their side is fucking risible. Epic's target audience of 12 year olds stealing daddy's credit card doesn't really mesh with GOG's core audience of older people tired of struggling to get old games to run properly.

Too late boyo. You're now in league with Epicels and our sworn enemy.

Not to mention Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft who all also do the 70/30 split just like Valve does.

or did. Valve doesn't even always do the full 30% cut anymore.

Shopping cart.

I'm pretty sure the shill has fucked off now, let this shit die and get your questions shills hate ready for the next instalment of "Epic r best, Steam r cukz!"

I don't want to support this shitty business that is also owned by Tencent, a Chinese company with notoriously bad and aggressive business practices. To keep it short, fuck Chinks.

> muh ut
You faggots didnt even play it. UT4 alpha never was lively enough. They dont discontinue it completely only because it's their most famous series (was).

Next thread will pop up as soon as this one starts auto-saging.

>still doesn't answer one very simple question

>Made people appreciate Steam features again
>Gave GOG a huge exposure
>Revitalized piracy
>Lets me know which devs I never should give money to
>Got people hating China further
Yeah he’s based

>UT4 alpha never was lively enough
Nigga what? At least in Europe during evening times you could always find a handful of servers with people playing it. It only started to die out when Epic did the retarded weapons rebalance, and ignored everyone on the forums to revert it until they abandoned it in favor of Frotnite.

Yeah no more like 2%
Valve's cut is the lowest anyone has gone since 2007. Before that retail would do 65% and apple had like 40%. Now because more money is on the table, Tim and others got greedy.

Does this dude have only one facial expression? It's always that fucked up not-smile/

>one ( 1 ( O N E )) question that a toddler should be able to answer
You're not doing your cause any favors.

kys faggot China hacked and stole so much from American businesses. Educate yourself before you spout your brainwashed libshit points.

Why I should support Chinese businesses?

that's good for them and everything but as a consumer this does not benefit me in any way, and I end up paying more because they don't do sales and charge me transaction fees that other stores don't

How altruistic of Tencent Tim, to think of the developers at the expense of millions of his own dollars. I'm sure he would honor his Twitter post once his demands are met and Valve shoots themselves in the foot. Until then I guess Tim will just have to keep punching himself in the face until Gaben sees the light of day.

It's not about the Chinese as a race, it's about my money going to a Chinese business to support the Chinese economy that runs on human rights violations and ecological destruction. I tend to avoid that wherever reasonably possible. But the memes are fun too.

As much of a clusterfuck as this all is, I'm grateful that Tim is a walking PR disaster who can't stay off Twitter. No wonder he gets along with Randy. Can you imagine if someone more competent with better business sense were in charge of taking down Steam?

fuck off tim

Thanks, noticed that one of the games on my steam wishlist was there, just gonna pirate that.

Fuck Tim. Gaben cannot give in and let this faggot win.

Is Tim's 88/12 split even sustainable, or can they only do that because most non-epic games on their store are shitty little indie games and/or EGS operates at a loss while being propped up by fortnite dollars and tencent investments?
