>Trusting PIRANHA GAMES >the people who almost got sued by EA for stealing the assets of the Cancelled Wing Commander game >Said Canuck jews responsible for FUCKING with mechwarrior IP for almost 10 years
yeah fuck them and the Botnet store, atleast MS will close the company for GOOD
The last mechwarrior game was trash, not sure why people expect this will be better. Are shitposters going to celebrate that it went to Epic but then also whine about pronouns like with the last game?
Wait. People are still excited for this franchise after the absolutely fucking shitshow that was MWO?
Jason Lewis
literally shovelware
Jason Moore
awesome another freeware game courtesy of epic games
Charles Foster
>Randy Bobandy >Deep Shitter >Shenmue guy >a bunch of big ego/small name indie devs >people with potential lawsuits on their asses Seriously has there been even a single reputable dev/publisher who made their game EGS exclusive? It's almost like a cesspool by now.
Liam Smith
>faggot devs tell people not to worry about Steam wording being removed on their new website >Surprise, it's exactly what people feared
Fuck these people. Piracy should be mandatory even if they do come to steam some day
Don't forget Julian "Epic gave us so much money that we could refund every Kickstarter donor and still make a profit" Gollop
Dominic Williams
The only people who go EGS exclusive are the ones that live by the "fuck the consumer, I just want money now" motto. So, Paradox as well.
Adam Phillips
Honest question: is the Battletech franchise even remotely relevant anymore? I don't remember even seeing a single novel for it in a bookstore in over a decade or any miniatures in hobby stores.
Landon Harris
Also upcoming DUAL GEAR. And there's Brigador for those who love stompy western mechs. All the classic mech(a) franchises are fucked up beyond repair. It's time to move on.
>brigador all style no substance twin-stick arcade shooter with an extremely thin mech veneer
Xavier Watson
MW5 will have its own launcher and friends list so it doesn't fucking matter what store it's on
Nathaniel Jenkins
I was going to buy Rebel galaxy outlaw, but then i meat the REAL Howard Day and how much of an Smug californian Leftist ass he is, and how half assed his excuses for Exclusivity are.
Its a dead franchise that caters to 30+ year old whales. So no.
Luke Allen
>Shoving fuckloads of laser weapons in the chest and legs, and needing to use mechs with paper thin skyboxes to fight in multiplayer.
well fuck you, MW4Mercs is still superior, and this type of minmaxing garbage killed MWO.
Alexander Baker
I watched some video of that game where they went "Ugh, it's 2019 guys, we just gotta have a female protagonist!" or something along those lines. Went from mildly interested to blacklist rather quick.
Michael Cruz
i'm fucking stoked for this, mechwarrior hasn't had a mainline entry since 4 like twenty years ago sperg all you want i'm going to pirate this and enjoy it in VR suck my dick
Michael Ramirez
>enjoy it in VR
bruh....
Luis Russell
>i'm going to pirate this
That's what we want you to do, bitch
Jaxon Miller
>Wow look, this store is giving me a way bigger cut than this store is, guess we'll use that store instead! >Yea Forums thinks this is evil
Valve can fix this at any time, but they're greedy.
>how half assed his excuses for Exclusivity are. The only reason anyone goes EGS exclusive is because they're getting paid a huge upfront sum by Epic, everyone saying otherwise and painting this as some moral crusade is lying. The Discord store is older than EGS and takes an even lower cut, so anyone who really cared about muh 30 percent would've gone Discord exclusive long ago.
Wyatt Perez
Valvecucks getting dabbed on into infinity
Blake Martin
Because nobody is using discord for gaming purpose, it's a fucking voice chat app
Benjamin Lee
Then why they don't come exclusively to Discord for their 10% split? Oh yeah, that's right, becuase Timmy Tencent is paying for exclusivity. Now, would you kindly eat a dog and die in an escalator you filthy insect.
Adam Hughes
if you Ever go to the Wing Commander Chat or even Star citizen, you will notice that all of the community is full of that. Most if it are infiltrated Shitters from the ReseteraJR that is Spacebattles.com its borderline brainwashing insane how they defend everything that is bad in gaming.
they may be great in fixing the old games and making cool stuff, but personally jeez...
Wyatt Jackson
Because the Epic "fuck shopping carts" Game Store is an established and polished online gaming store and not some hastily put together piece of shit, right?
William White

If a publisher thinks that the game will sell he will go Steam/GoG/Epic/whatever to not risk losing any potential buyer. If the publisher is convinced they have a stinker on their hands they'll take money from Epic to cover the loses.
James Ramirez
>twin-stick arcade shooter It has different firing arcs making combat virtually 3D plus you have to account for weapons placement and convergence. Yes, it's arcadey, but it gets the mech feel right, all vehicles control differently and have different playstyles. And most importantly, it's fun.
oh but they do. they have batlenet for their copy of overwatch and origin for when they want to play battlefield 4. but mention EGS and they're quick to try and bring morality and the future of the pc game industry when its just another excuse to avoid installing yet another pc client.
Matthew Green
it has a sick aesthetic reminiscent of commandos but it's not really the same as mechwarrior
Christian Gomez
The upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2 PC port. The leakers confirmed that it is EGS exclusive.
Cameron Collins
Goddamnit I just want MechAssault 3, it doesn't even have to be Microsoft exclusive I just want my arcadey mechs/tanks/VTOLs/Power Armor warfare back
At this point, it's far more about the ethics involved. Epic already bribed at least one developer to break promises to fans, and no way am I supporting that behavior even implicitly.

The writing is going to be trash, howie is the definition of a snoyboy. The only hope is the guy called Schaefer since he's been the least vocal about anything Rebel Galaxy was great, and they are gonna fuck this up
Evan Turner
god people seem legit pissed that this game is on one digital store instead of another is there really such a difference? i don't really care i pirate everything anyway

Rebel Galaxy had way too much downtime for me to finish. Hopefully the second game is better so I'll be able to play it all the way through.
Ryan Peterson

Gabriel Morgan
>Of course they went to EGS, how would they compete with Battletech and EDF5?
They didn't want "mixed reviews" to be showing on their store page once people realize how bad the game is.
Connor Moore
It's the biggest AAA game try more valve shills, tick tock
Noah Scott
RDR2 literally wouldn't matter except to waste Epic's money since Rockstar has their own launcher which they both sell their own games on and force you to sign up for even if you bought on Steam.
Nolan Smith
He's right.
David Thompson
Once again, Epic buys a game up AFTER development! YAY, THAT'S NOT A SHITTY PRACTICE AT ALL! Why invest in development when you can just...NOT!
Parker Myers
This is how I I interpret all this as well. People who stand by their products and believe that their games are good enough to stand on their own feet are sticking with Steam. The faggots who are looking for a quick payout, had troubled Kickstarter campaigns, or are run by leftist twitter whores are all going Epic.
It's pretty safe to assume now that no genuinely proud developer is on EGS
Ethan Martinez
Because Discord still isn't pushing their store well and doesn't show any signs of stepping that up any time soon. It's a balance between finding a store with an audience and finding one who won't undercut you with a shit deal. Epic offers both.
Ryder Cruz
How does MW5 overlap with EDF5?
Robert Peterson
Sure thing chinko. Now, eat your dog, you deserved it.
Ethan Brooks
They did get two explusives from Ubisoft user I say let them try their pathetic exclusivity deal. Just get the game from Rockstar's storefront after release. Simple
Owen Bell
>Well the biggest AAA game of 2019 is releasing on epic Pokemon unless you mean PC game, in which case, you're still wrong.
Shame really liked rebel galaxy despite how unpolished it was.
Brody King

Then why is he forced to bribe the devs to come to his store?

Matthew Butler
I'm pretty fucking sure that this post implied that people from Yea Forums will be bitterly forced to buy some killer app on Epic. Now you've admitted that you were just peddling some garbage nobody on Yea Forums cares about. Get out.
Jason Phillips

It kinda stops being an issue if you upgrade it enough, but yeah at the early game it's slow as fuck
Jose Myers
>where is the hype no t-threads How new are you ? an AAA game doesn't need the support of Yea Forums-irgins, but there is a general on /vg/ tho even in this shithole

Good to know that they fucked up Mechwarrior V.

Dylan Mitchell
>He's not playing Living Legends RIGHT NOW explain?
Ethan Gutierrez
Yeah I guess "I" in "I will boycott this game" obviously referred to someone who was never on Yea Forums.
Liam Ramirez
Man I really hope autochess or whatever the next big thing will be gets here fast so I can see Epic in full damage control mode.
Daniel Jackson

Jacob Collins
none of those games are free what are you talking about
Angel Roberts
Spotted the zoomer.
David Reyes
>yeah getting btfo feels good right steamfaggot I dont know, never cared about memelands 3. But you might, considering how your most recent exclusive doesnt even work properly on EGS and needs steam software to run
Parker Wilson
Not even one of them are real AAA games (sekiro is a game for dark soul autism)
Nolan Stewart
They're free for Steam. They didn't have to pay anyone a dime to secure the exclusivity.
Jace Gomez
havent touched this franchise since mw2000. had no idea it still existed. dont care
Carson Anderson
I kind of wanted to buy battletech, but i read that they never actually patched the absurd cpu/gpu usage problem so I decided against buying it multiple times.
the last mechwarrior game I played was shit anyway, so I feel like I'm not losing out here on either title.
Jayden Diaz
True with the exception of The God-Emperor of Embezzlement Mandy Bobandy who just grabs any stack of cash he sees and stuffs it in his pockets without thinking.
the last time I had battlenet installed was when heart of the swarm came out, and I've reinstalled since then.
Asher Harris
>create issue that no consumer would care about otherwise >promise that trickle-down will definitely benefit the consumers this time around >blame Steam for following the industry standard
Nathan Bennett
Weird that they allowed that to happen considering the fact that according to Epic themselves most people who use their stores don't have Steam installed. Valve should thank them for free advertisement I guess?
Cooper Williams
>it's GOOD that Steam has a monopoly The average drone everybody.
Logan Ward
there is not a single gacha game shown there. learn what words mean.
Luke Jenkins
Imagine giving a shit what store you buy a product at. How fucking cucked do you have to be to have allegiance to who takes your money??
Daniel Torres
>monopoly BAAAAAD! And the average chinkshill still has no answer to the eternal question, 'why?'
Thomas Phillips
Most people don't use vr based retardo, why is your brain not working user ? turn it on, it's useful, vr is a niche and most of the vr fags are pretty much core gamer with a steam account.
Andrew Perry
How long until EGS buys out or integrates discord as an 'official partner' or some bullshit?
Mason Richardson
Which is hilarious considering China is essentially a state monopoly.
Henry Carter
Someone is seething hard about Tim being forced to advertise give steam free advertisement. How did it happen? I though he controls everything?
Grayson Cook
>uhm, yeah, so the game cant do this on this store because the store is dogshit and cant support those functions, so you need to go out of your way to find and download external software that does, BUT IT DOESNT MATTER BECAUSE NOBODY USES IT ANYWAYS! I bet you think shopping carts and user reviews are useless to, you pea-brained moron
Isaac Perry
>implying oculus is the only VR/WMR
Jonathan Kelly
god fucking damn it, my grandma loved monopoly but it always dragged on for far too long and we'd always have to play with my retarded uncle. fuck monopoly.
OH NO NO NO NO STEAMBROS I THOUGHT STEAM DIDN'T HAVE A MONOPOLY?
Carter Young
Game is based on Unreal? What? What does that mean? You mean its made in the Unreal engine? Yeah, what of it? You think that entitles Tim to a game by bribing them AFTER development? Are you stupid?
Noah Richardson
>getting btfo several times >moving goalpoast Kill yourself there is no hope for you user
Logan Harris
I still don't get this "haha le tim wants us to pirate xD" meme. Did it come from reddit?
Colton Lewis
How have you as a consumer been affected by Steam?
David Roberts
It means the engine is powered by Tim, it's like saying mercedes isn't a car company because they only make the engine
Jeremiah Garcia
How is maskposting on Yea Forums?
Aaron Thomas
These deals involve a guaranteed amount of copies sold, so it's basically guilt-free piracy
Austin Russell
Oh, we're not having a real conversation. Okay.
William Flores

>YEAH SEE? EPIC IS WINNING STEAM DEAD! >Really? Because Epic cant even support its own exclusi- >THAT DOESNT COUNT SEE YOU DONT NEED STEAMVR TO USE IT BECAUSE THERE'S OTHER SOFTWARE YOU CAN USE! >But that software only works with one type of VR gear and you still need to download Steam and steamVR to get support for it >BUT THAT DOESNT MATTER BECAUSE NOBODY PLAYS VR ANYWAYS! I dunno, faggot. If anyone's moving goalposts, its you
Matthew Diaz
>deals involve a guaranteed amount of copies sold Not him but what does this mean? They lose exclusivity if they don't sell a certain amount of copies? They are indefinitely exclusive until a certain number of copies are sold?
Hunter Evans
>Another one bites the dust Yes, Mechwarrior.
Daniel Sullivan
>anything I don't like is "culture" Based retard.
Austin Parker
this is the lowest spectrum of shooters. Everyone move like snails. Everyone is the size of the side of a barn so you can't miss and have lock on for good measure. This is the game intended to get toddles into vidya. God bless the mechwarrior devs.
Jaxon Bailey
>tfw there is not a single epic store exclusive that i want to buy
i mean i kinda want to get tetris but i can wait for that game to drop to 10 bux or so in 2 years
I think he's saying Epic buys X copies up front then just puts those copies on the store to recoup that money
Adam Williams
It means Epic will compensate the publishers if a game on their store performs under expectations which so far all of them have.
Xavier Myers
Thanks Tim!
Cameron Powell
Are any of the modern mechwarrior games any good?
I only really played MW and even the ArmoredCore franchise when they were on the PS1.
Parker Ross
It means that you're guaranteed a certain number of sales, whether you earn the sales on your own, or if Epic has to make up the difference
Again, guilt free piracy
Sebastian Long
Thanks anons
Aiden Turner
i wish i could have played it more but my game kept crashing
Chase Carter
Put simply, the exclusive money is Epic literally buying out the stock of the games themselves, then selling it on their store. Because it's digital, they have to slap an 'exclusivity' clause on the purchase, and the publishers have a set number of sales because egs bought them
Oliver Jenkins
Can you even preorder it yet after the whole epic-sale debacle?
Anthony Mitchell
Man Epic just scrapes the bottom of the barrel and calls it a victory, it's hilarious. Anyways, who cares.
If you notice, the shill arguments have devolved to 'hahaha borderlands 3!' now. They're no longer bragging about sales numbers of satisfactory and WWZ, even though by their narrative, both games are selling really well I should think so
Levi Harris
go away kong
Eli Ward
I just don't understand stuff like this. Is it Epic that tells people to make career-ruining moves like this, or does Epic just keep making deals with people who do this on their own? Why does the Epic deal bring this out if that's the case? I don't fucking get it.
Dominic King
Why don't they just remake it? Sounds like guaranteed money.
Justin Jenkins
That was the point I was getting at. If epic manages to secure RDR2 the only thing they'll achieve is funneling people to social club, which is what happened with Uplay.
Jayden Bennett
>single player Sounds like a first day pirate for me then
Logan Adams
I don't care, just please let it have HOTAS and VR support. I'm so tired of Elite Dangerous bros.
Christopher Cox
>Is it Epic that tells people to make career-ruining moves like this
no this is just how the MW5 devs operate, they are retards who only manage to make a profit because they have a captive audience of mechwarrior boomers.
Logan Gonzalez
Basically devs/publishers have a product they know will absolutely not make a good profit, so they go for Epic's "minimum sale" guarantee instead.
Levi Cook
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO RELEASE GAMES ON MY PARTICULAR BRAND OF BLOATWARE
Xavier Carter
I'm glad that Epic exists, I don't feel bad about pirating games in their store.
Elijah White
They probably just send out solicitation emails telling developers and publishers of their wonderful deal
The ones who reply back, even after knowing how unpopular exclusivity is now, should tell you everything about these people
Jonathan Ross
That's right, you mad ?
Ethan Rivera
It won't release DRM free on GOG either. I'm looking at you, Metro.
Jeremiah Lewis
Put a shopping cart in your store first, chink. Then we'll talk
Zachary Stewart
Those games were extremely mediocre.
John Ross
Three Kingdoms got cracked and it's the only game worth playing in your shitty list.
Who cares? It's going to be shit. It's not going to be Mechwarrior: Mercenaries 2 or even Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries(pretty decent). It's going to be Mechwarrior: Online but with a tacked-on singleplay campaign.
Wyatt Murphy
Fuck Epic and Fuck devs. If making games is too difficult call it quits faggots.
but user,according to wojak posters it's the best TW game EVER MADE!! did you miss the ''OH NO NO NO'' threads?
Josiah Jenkins
>going to be Mechwarrior: Online but with a tacked-on singleplay campaign I didn't think it would be like this, but if they're diving onto epic's guaranteed money up front out of fear nobody will like their game, I am inclined to agree with you.
Jordan Jones
Code Vein will be Epic Store exclusive
Justin Roberts
It's not a bad game, that's for sure.
Samuel Scott
Code Vein will be CODEX exclusive
Daniel Gomez
It's pretty good
Austin Sanders

Tyler Robinson
Then it'll be free !
Liam Cox
Welcome to total war I guess.
Andrew Murphy
Not like it matters PGI is going to feel the wrath of everyone they fucked over in the past. It has nothing to do with Steam or Epic. This is a title I will only pirate and you should only pirate it as well.
Nicholas Smith
>steam dies
i don't get this meme. NO ONE is gonna give up literal decades of games they bought or earned on steam. this is the reason why epic is bribing companies for yearly exclusives. so that they too can build up the same feeling.
>build up the same feeling >in the most laziest way possible
They're sure building up a good reputation
Lincoln Reyes
Not to mention the spying
Jacob Russell
HEVC can get movies that small, and at decent quality too
Thomas White
>western devs are jewish faggot niggers nothing new
Joshua Jones
I didn't even know it, but if you sell it for me I may pirate.
Easton Jenkins
most players are lazy. fact. it's a battle of attrition. i don't support epic on it's tactics of securing tittles they basically opened the genie in the bottle with this and it hurts the pc community. so i wont be buying a game off the platform. that being said. how many folks will succumb to peer pressure once borderlands 3 comes out. remember, no epic exclusive is on steam yet so we wont know how the sales will do once the contract it up. Epic knows that if both games sold on both launchers they lose 100% of the time.
