Its actually the only game I have bought from GoG, rest of my shit is on steam.

lmao is tim senile

this has been the case since the witcher 3

Well no shit games>stores so why the fuck did the dipshit start a store and buy exclusivity instead of making games? idiot.

It's not only about the game, GOG also provides a completely DRM free experience which is an appeal of its own. A large consumer base wants that so they are enticed to use that store. If GOG didn't have that it'd straight up lose to Steam in a massive way and the only people who'd buy there would be those that wanted to support CDPR.

Of course Sweeney ignored all this like the massive cunt that he is.

It's a matter of Games + Stores. Not either or.
If the game is good but the store you buy it from is shady as all fuck you will hesitate or downright avoid buying the game.
If the store is amazing but it no worth a shit games on you that you won't use the store anyway because why bother.
Epic is on the shit end of both those sticks.

does he not realise that people buy a game on GOG because they respect CDPR's business and DRM free games? does he think people should respect him and his shitty launcher the same way as convenient DDL's from a website?

CP or Witcher?

Is GOG paying third party devs to make their games exclusive to their service?

So he admits that Steam has direct competition, and thus is not a monopoly.

Epic doesn't have the respect or likability cdpr does.

(and Epic too)
Lol. No one's competing with Epic. Epic is in its own special retard race

Is Timmy getting desperate or something? Did he realize how much goodwill CDPR is getting so he's trying to always mention GOG in hopes of people thinking that because GOG GOOD Tim retweeting GOG also means that EGS GOOD?

This, GOG is very consumer friendly and actually provides basic services like a rating system and shopping cart.

gog also tries to stuff manuals, ost, and concept/artwork into older games if they can

Only the diehard fans buy a pre-order this early, that's why I bought Witcher 3 on GOG back when it didn't even have a set launch date. those diehard fans will gladly support GOG by buying from their store. 1/3 this early is actually pretty bad when you think about it

GOG actually provides something a chunk of users want, which is DRM free downloads and/or easy compatibility for older games on new hardware .

Nobody ever said stores can’t exist and add value for gamers.

please PLEASE delet this

China has been generous.

Self publishing?
Holy shit someone call the patent office!

What the fuck is timmy Tencent even going on about? Cyberpunk is being sold on both GoG and steam. GoG is also DRM free. People are happy to buy the game on GoG because people want CDPR to do well because people have goodwill towards them.Literally all his arguments fall apart because hes so retarded.

We don't know if it sells the most on gog. We know at least 1/3rd of the sales are through gog.
Half of the sales might be steam for all we know.

So epic drones can no longer claim this, since their overlord himself has debunked it.

Notice how he neglected to say launcher.

steam also has no drm for cd project red games

So does GoG actually go along with this or are they completely oblivious of Timmy here dragging them into his misguided revolution?

Steam is dying drone.

If 30% sold on GoG then if I had to hazard a guess around 50% sold on EGS with only 20% or less on Steam.

>Although TW3 is actually a decent game
There's that bait. There it is.

Who said anything about big releases? Steam still has better games than Epic. Doesn't matter how big or small, better games are better games

They do what they always did, selling on their own store, Steam and the new store, which in the past was Origin.

Exclusivity is fine as long as it wasn't the store's decision to make it exclusive.
Because it shows they weren't bribed or threatened. It was their choice and gives them leeway to go multiple platform without legal trouble.
Exclusivity is also fine if the game in question was funded and develop by first party devs to the storefront. Like what Valve does.
It's not fine when the game isn't funded nor made by the storefront but still bought up exclusivity. Especially when the game was announced to release on other storefronts before the acquisition. It's basically a hostile takeover.
Even worse is the acquisition of devs and publisher that already have games on other platforms and then have those games removed because they are no longer allowed to sell the game on multiple storefronts.

GOG is not competing with steam, what a retarded statement

Why does everyone have such a boner for CDP. They only made 1 (one) good game.

And patches that allow those older games to work with modern OS.

people have the choice to buy it on GOG
thats ignoring that its sold more on steam of course, tim is just retarded

>Bait

Game didn’t win every award ever in 2015 for no reason. I’d actually like to hear why you think a game like TW3 is “bad”.

Then go back to China, what the fuck are you doing here?

it's oddly neat to be able to start games without any launcher whatsoever. you can 'launch' a game out of its folder in steam, but steam will start and you'll have to wait 10 seconds for it to go through the login and startup loop for anything to happen.

Spin off is fine. Moba was trash. Card game was meh. Seems like they keep changing the rules of Gwent every new game.

They are weebshit.

Explain to me how any of those games are bigger than Borderlands 3. Epic got THE BIGGEST game this year. Cope.

In 2019 Steam has

>Devil May Cry 5
>Mortal Kombat 11
>Rage 2
That's multiple Game of the Year contenders. And the year isn't even over.
>Blazing Chrome
>Doom Eternal
>Wolfenstein: Youngblood

And what does Epic have? Uh... Fortnite, I guess. And that one is losing against games that literally play themselves. I'd be surprised if Epic survives this year...

Anybody remember when Thronebreaker was exclusive to GOG and it was a massive fucking flop? Yeah me neither.

>implying that matters when steam got Halo

Thronebreaker spinoff was a GOG exclusive when it released but it tanked so hard that they had to start selling it on Steam soon after.

I don't understand what you mean. The store works fine (a few niggles, but nothing worse than uplay/origin) and they have some very popular games on there. As far as I can see, the only complaint people really have is the fact that it isn't Steam. I just see it as yet another store app to install on my gaming rig, nothing special.

LMAO RANDY "BADASS" PITCHFORD

To be fair it wouldn't be surprising if Borderlands 3 got a GOTY

this faggot actually thinks he and his chink store are as loved as CDPR
Why isn't this nutcase in an asylum already?

Steam has no drm for a load of games, its the devs choice if they include it.
I have dozens of installs of ksp with different mods because you can just copypaste the folder to a different location and it still works.

No
It shows people want to support cdpr because they are based from a consumer perspective, and they also like no drm and no denuvo

Dauntless is slowly becoming the biggest F2P game right now.

My complaint is that the Epic store is cancer on my computer. I'd be happy if the games that are on Epics store were on literally any other launcher because Epic's game launcher is the worst fucking launcher available.
Fucking Itch.io is even better than this and all they fucking sell is shovelware indie tripe.

Opinions opinions opinions

So on the one hand, everyone seem to be asserting that the store is awful, has no games, and nobody in their right mind would ever consider using it.
Immediately afterwards, they seem to be asserting that they intend to purchase many games from the site at once- so many, in fact, that the lack of a shopping cart was a grievous inconvenience.
I've bought more than one game from them in a row (when they had a sale). The lack of a cart surprised me, but it just meant a few more clicks. I find it hard to believe it's a dealbreaker for anyone.

We both know that nobody would be complaining about this store if it weren't for the fact that certain games are exclusive to it.

Literally cope.

I'm here posting objective facts that the EGS is a resounding success and all I'm greeted with is SEETHING.

The problem isn't on the game being in another store, the problem is the store being Epic. If Cyberpunk was a GoG exclusive nobody would care.
Taking the answer to the other user, it confirms you must have brain damage. The shopping cart argument is to show how it's poorly made and not a testament of a wish to buy lots of games.

Tim's plan is called the 6-month news cycle. He has to say stupid shit to stay in the media and the minds of Yea Forums (rent free) otherwise Epic Games Store will just become "another digital store." There's no such thing as bad publicity. Tim's worst fear is his store fading into obscurity after he poured millions into it (despite it not even being functional yet).

>If Cyberpunk was a GoG exclusive nobody would care.
Well yeah, that's because there's this unspoken acceptance regarding first party exclusivity.

It's up to the devs if they want to opt in to DRM on steam. BallisticNG is DRM free for example.

CDPR HATES YOU TIM. FUCK YOU.

Correct. Epic's "better split" does nothing for me as a customer, though. I don't get better prices for it.

Dauntless does have a excellent f2p model though how that shit is profitable if you're not fortnite i'm not sure. A game that can be played on two consoles and PC entirely free is gonna have a lot of players. But it doesn't change the fact that the art direction is awful and plays way more like a button masher (a lot like chaosbane compared to diablo 2) and so little content compared to mh3, mh4, and generations.

Oh, so you don't know how to find good games on Steam. Gotcha

I think it was less of a case of Thronebreaker tanking and more about it simply not getting crazy sales due to it being what it is. Making it an initial exclusive was a mistake in the first place.

Project Warlock

Building the Chinese empire!

Satisfactory is worse than factorio and sold worse than factorio.
Nobody actually plays WorldWarZ. The fact that such an old game such as L4D is still better shows how mediocre it is.
Nobody would ever actually play Dauntless if it wasn't F2P. MHW is way worse than the previous MH games yet is still far better than dauntless

And maybe because Satisfactory is just a shitty clone game
So why is literally nobody actually talking about that game?
Not wrong, just like above nobody actually talks about Dauntless either compared to MHW.

The fact I don't even know it's out just shows how nobody actually fucking cares about that game lmao

Alan Wake is objectively far better than anything Remedy made past that point
Borderlands isn't very good as either an RPG or a shooter. Destiny is atleast a decent shooter.

I think it's per (you)

He's saying it doesn't matter that EGS is an ugly, broken, barely functional piece of shit because he has exclusive games and consumers will inevitably bow to shit service from shit humans(proven time after time) if the shit humans have the dopamine hit that the shit consumers want.

He's basically saying it makes more sense to be a vulture capitalist than provide a good service to customers.

Didn't BL2 sell pretty well? To the point where they whored out the DLC years after release.

Outside of that the game play and aesthetic is utter trash along with their servers.

600 games a day for 10 days, so that's 300K dollars tops if literally every game were Cyberpunk 2077. They make that in an hour from selling CSGO skins on the market.

>Valve is giving CDPR money for Cyberpunk
LMAO steam is literally cucked

Imagine being this high

>egs has to give free games every 2 weeks for people to even download their client

in the end i think it led to a lot more preorders since most people thought "i don't have to pay for it". I'm sure others who couldn't even run the game or cared about the game put it in their lists since it didn't matter to them because, again, the player didn't pay for it. Valve did

Why is this pedo looking fuck sucking GoG's dicks all of a sudden when clearly they don't give a shit about Epic and in fact are hurt just as much by Epic's exclusivity deals as Steam are? If anything, CDPR would be siding with Steam rather than Epic in this whole debate.

So because of the event even more people wishlisted Cyberpunk on Steam?

I can't believe Valve is giving CDPR free marketing.

And its drm-free!

that's my take on it. the games most given away during the race was Cyberpunk

Hey don't talk shit about my gamefu Return of the Obra Dinn, its fantastic.

GoG doesn't just do that - they were also originally pandering to a niche who were, up to their inception, practically ignored. You didn't have a lot of old games with proper support that you could actually buy - you would have to pirate them and jump through a few hoops to play them. Even though some of GoG's releases are literally just repackaged fan-patches, at least they're giving you an official avenue to buy something and does that work for you.

Epic Games Store is literally just an alternative to Steam with no reason to use it outside of Epic throwing money at devs and getting them onto their store. It's the same issue EA and Ubisoft had.

HUMILATION

so sales are a representation of quality when it fits your agenda, when it wasn't on the popular choice that you dislike because of contrarianism?

>Epic Games Store is literally just an alternative to Steam
I wish it was literally an alternative.

Because as of now, people that get games from Epic using the fucking Steam forums for help.
Wake me up when they have something as fantastic as the controller magic steam has.

You all do realize that Epic isn't really competing with Steam right?

If Epic was truly competing with Steam they wouldn't be trying to convince Steam/GoG/Uplay/etc. users to go on the EGS. They would actually be trying to convince pirates and emerging markets to go on their store. That's what you need to do to actually compete with Steam.

Getting a 33% is cool.

Well yeah lmao. Why would it get removed? There's no other reason to update it again until the exclusivity deal ends.

Fortnite, LoL, Dota 2, CSGO, WoW and a plethora of other mobile games don't get discussed here too.

Why?
Offering a better product is a good way to sell more units and make more money. This carries the risk of not actually selling more units proportional to your investment.
With exclusivity deals, however, the developer gets money upfront, greatly reducing the risk at the cost of selling fewer units.
Why would they invest in making better games then? As long as they are good enough for another exclusivity deal, they don't need to worry about money and since they are limited in sales volume, minimizing costs becomes a better way to maximize profits.
I'd agree with you if Epic was more selective, but at the time they seem more worried about increasing their catalogue.

do you think he's actually writing this stuff, or some marketers trying to drum up twitter arguments

You're either new here or too busy arguing in waifu threads to check the catalog then.

>>Wolfenstein: Youngblood
Was with you till there user, there's no way in hell that game is going to turn out.

Explain to me how borderlands the pre sequal didn't kill the series

When has trickle down economics ever worked? Give me one prominent example.

They do still get threads posted here, they just die quickly because nobody wants them to think they are allowed to leave their containment board.

Frankly I'm shocked 3 is even coming out after how bad PS was.

3 went through fucking development hell. It's probably why they took the Epic deal in the first place. To recoup.

>Borderlands is literally worse than Destiny

PS was pretty good, though. It was just roughly 50% of the writing was absolute dogshit. Play the game with the voices off and you've got the best gameplay in the looter shooter genre so far.

>Development hell
More like Sega not falling for the ol' Colonial Marines trick twice.

I preferred 2 from a gameplay standpoint, PS's classes didn't do anything for me.

>best gameplay of a looter shooter so far
Nigger, the game was filled with shit guns and vast amounts of nothing. Just running and running ina. Boring environment. Along with the awful quest design that forces you to backtrack back and forth just to I flare gametime.

The gameplay is fucking garbage. What a poor joke.

Thank fuck Epic stepped up to the plate with a handout, Randy was probably considering mugging old ladies to get more dev funds.

They don't.
This ain't trickle down economics though.

what's with these stupid bait twitter threads all the time.
it's like holy shit, you get more money if you sell the product yourself.
what a revelation. never hear of such thing. very significant news. etc.

Not true, there are plenty of games on Steam where you don't need to be logged in, in order to play.

Epic didn't pay for it, it's on UE4 and epic waves their 7% royalty fee if you use only the epic store to distribute UE4 games. The royalty fee is across all platforms which is how epic got so rich to begin with, so by waving it they're making a ridiculously large amount just from 7% more of the console sales which are least 80% of the actual sales.
That more than anything they buy will determine whether the epic store takes off. If multiple publishers take the deal to get the royalty waved they'll have tons of exclusives.

>Fortnite, LoL and Dota 2

it isn't often discussed but it is sometimes talked about

I'll leave those dots there for you guys to connect.

Steam has been so shitty lately, I hope they get a good shakeup.

>Epic didn't pay for it

Epic pays for every single goddamn exclusive, otherwise it wouldn't make good business sense to only release on the EGS, no matter how good the split is (especially given that it's just timed exclusivity)

and y'know. everything else on there as well.

>The Steam DRM wrapper by itself is not is not a anti-piracy solution. The Steam DRM wrapper protects against extremely casual piracy (i.e. copying all game files to another computer) and has some obfuscation, but it is easily removed by a motivated attacker.
This is from the Steamworks docs

Because Steam has lots of features and sales. Besides, if I wanted to own games, I'll just pirate them.

Well, the devs should be paid at this point.

Way to ignore everything I said and the reasons for it, to make a statement that makes 0 sense at all for either side.

>I'm gonna pay $35 for this game so I can get trading cards worth 21 cents

randy got it into his mind that large maps = more content. This is what happened to their dlc as well, just enormous maps with fuckall in them. and that was PS in a nutshell.

I would expect that philosophy to ramp up in bl3.

I have to disagree. The floaty moon combat was unique and fun but I just couldn't find a class that gell'd with me. Plus the loot was shit and 3 games in borderlands still doesn't have any new gun classes. I get how you could personally disagree though.

Because steam converted a bunch of console migrants who don't into PCs to them by turning the PC platform into a console. Then they added a bunch of social media shit so they can pay money to have their 2younique profile.
You're fighting with retards who want to play the latest console port so all their friends can see it on their profile and don't know how to edit an .ini file

face it user you fear the shopping cart

Why do you fear the shopping cart?

Why do you fear the Epic store?

Console game
>go to shelf
>open my Super Metroid box
>plug it into my super Famicom
>it works

PC Game
>open my Sim City box
>no disc tray
>go Steam
>buy the game I already own
>load it up
>it doesn't work
>system requirements: Windows XP

Why do you fear the shopping cart?

>cyberpunk 2077 is DRM free

what the fuck is the point of buying? It's gonna be up on every filehost day 1

>no disc tray
How is that anyone's fault but your own?

Why do you fear the epic store?

no one fears that joke of a store
its an absolute shitfest with no features and no coordination

>>no disc tray
Why would you still plan to play your older disc-based PC games an not get a disc tray for your computer?

The issue is that Epic is worse than Steam and risks making the PC gaming scene worse.

I just have to ask. I know what benefits I get as a consumer from GoG. I know of the one benefit I get from Steam. What benefit do I get from the Epic Game Store?

>'Dude I'm totally not a shill for the EGS and Steam is just as bad so you might as well use the Epic Games Store'

Are you fuckers even trying?

Only pirate niggers who have no worth will pirate games that are DRM-free. Also, guess how much Witcher 3 did in sales? Around 20 million and 45% of it was on PC.

twitter screencaps should be bannable

Based retard foiled his own shitposting, it's fucking amazing.

I fucking wish we didn't have twitter screencap threads. I think we're the only hobby board that does this shit

Even if it had one the game wouldn't work because I'm not using Windows XP, Steam is selling shit that doesn't work but PC cucks keep licking Gabes shitty asshole no matter what
If steam sold me the game disc that worked straight out of the box with no day one patches or updates and could be played without any launcher then I'd say great
But a digital file that doesn't even work on your OS because you dared to upgrade it in the last 10 years, that's fucking bullshit

His tweets being posted here won’t increase his exposure, and provides decent conversation.

Aside from wanting to support a developer who doesn't treat their customers like garbage? How about the fact that for the uninitiated decent torrent sites can be hard to find? Hell, even if you're somewhat out of touch they can be hard to find, I have no clue where to go now that kickass torrents is dead other then the pirate bay.

>tfw still just download everything from TPB
>My ISP email is full of messages about them getting complaints from copyright holders telling me to stop downloading their shit
>Literally hundreds of them
>Keep doing it anyway

Who gives a fuck?

>Even if it had one the game wouldn't work because I'm not using Windows XP
U w0t m8? And anyways, isn't it your own fault for getting rid of your old computer that had XP then? You said you got out your old famicom to play Super Metroid so you obviously kept that around

>But a digital file that doesn't even work on your OS because you dared to upgrade it in the last 10 years, that's fucking bullshit
Man why can't I just put my PS2 game in my PS4 and have it work? They're both a disc

I didn't take out my old Famicom, I keep it plugged in all the time, same with my Super Famicom. Besides it got a virus, which my consoles don't get

Well it's entirely possible they might cut off your internet connection. I mean, I haven't pirated anything major in a while, so I've never gotten one of these notices and I have no idea how they work.

Isn't the whole point of a PC that you don't have to constantly buy a new one every generation, that it stays the same?
So why then can't I play my PC games on my new computer? It's fucking bullshit and it's a pain in the ass

>go to shelf
>open my Super Metroid box
>plug it into my N64
>it doesn't work
>system requirements: super famicom
>game doesn't even work on my system because I dared to upgrade it in the last 10 years

>Besides it got a virus

You do know you only get virus' because of your own retardation right?

You can though. Not my fault you're an idiot.

Maybe if you had a brain you would ask questions how to fix it on the forums (which Epic doesn't have) and complain about EA's shitty PC support, but hey, I'm not the retard here.

Anyone got the source image of Sweeney dog?

interesting hahahhahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAa

>Isn't the whole point of a PC that you don't have to constantly buy a new one every generation, that it stays the same?
There's way more to it than that.
You're also leaving out that an OS goes out of date WAY later than a game console, and you can still keep an old OS on a separate hard drive to keep access to your old games same as keeping an old system around.

I honestly cannot comprehend being so utterly ignorant of how software works.

>the only roadblock to a PC's ability to play whatever you want is the intelligence of the person operating it

>Live in a age where everyone has a connection to the sum of human knowledge in their pocket
>Essentially a real life Hitchhiker's Guide
>People barely understand how to set up an email

I don't get it man. I'll never get it.

An N64 and a Super Famicom are different
A PC and a PC are the same thing

Steam is not DRM by itself, it's a digital distribution platform. There's a steamworks DRM wrapper that is part of it usually used for most of the games, but some games can choose to not include it at all. Just because you installed a Steam client and can only download it through steam doesn't mean it's a DRM by itself, it's just a distribution channel tied to account and storefront, the game can still be DRM free. Most of them are not tho, and some of them use 3rd party DRM on top too.

the pusblisher pay to the developer

>>download community patch

WHAT THE FUCK WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO DO THAT?

We're constantly bombarded by useless info and there is too much knowledge for one person to know everything. Just look at how many retards here keep shitposting because they have nothing else to do.

Tim Sweeny is basically admitting defeat by posting this.
He may as well have said, "I know my store is shit, but you will buy my games anyway because of the exclusivity."

Attached: 1555324975847.png (246x242, 59K)

Because these people give a shit unlike other publishers where they barely do anything.

Because software doesn't just work indefinitely, you fucking retard. Libraries and dependencies change.
My fucking grandma understands computers better than you do

>there is too much knowledge for one person to know everything

Sure, but we're not talking about quantum physics or anything. Computers are fucking everywhere. Not knowing how to use one at least on a basic competent level is like not knowing how to drive or cook or do your own laundry.

So Steam is selling games that doesn't even work unless you download something someone who doesn't even work for Steam or the company that published that game made for free

>If Cyberpunk was a GoG exclusive nobody would care.
GOG has larger financial incentive/imperative to make their game exclusive to their own store, and they still don't because they know exclusivity is cancer.

Because you're trying to run a game older than your ass on a PC made 20 years later

>So Steam is selling games that doesn't even work
If we're still talking about SimCity, no. The only SimCity that steam sells works on windows 10 without needing to download anything else

Because good PC releases usually have loyal fanbases that fix/keep them playable through the years

Can't say the same about consoles

>The store works fine

Don't you get banned from multiplayer if they find out you're using a vpn?

What the fuck is this loser even trying to say? His launcher isn't worth shit in spite of how many games that are on it.

>So Steam is selling games that doesn't even work

What?
Every Steam Store page lists PC requirements.
Are you saying steam shouldn't let you buy a product before running a benchmark or something?

Because your average person is fucking retarded and boomers are willfully ignorant.

Kill this shill thread. Right now. Do it.

>buy a console game
>put disc in my ps4/switch/xbox

or worse. the game isn't even ON the disc

Console download speeds are the fucking worst. What the hell are they paying those online memberships for?

To use P2P connections with other consoles.

>WWZ. Better L4D.
out of all the dumb shit you said this takes the cake

Am I the only one who thinks Tim Sweeny actually looks like fucking Jeffrey Dahmer?

I kinda see it, if Jeffery Dahmer had down syndrome.

Jeffery Dahmer doesn't look that bad.
He looks more like Stephen King if he had down syndrome or fetal alcohol syndrome
