Ooblets EGS

Looked like shit anyways.

>their announcement is headed by a video of the MC flossing
Are the devs Erdrick posters?

user, you do realize these types of posts only work when it’s something people actually care about like borderlands 3, Outer Worlds, and Metro, right?

Hahaha what scumbags.
At least be honest about it you pieces of trash.

>a few months later
>WHAAAAAA NO ONE BOUGHT MY GAME IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT

They dont care they already got paid with Chinese blood money

>Ooblets

Was this the one Pokemon game on Discord people kept shilling?

Why would they care, they already got paid for expected sales in the deal

They are being honest. They're saying they did it for the money and that anyone who disagrees with them is trash, which they are. I admire their honesty, but am only upset that they mention "human rights abuses" as being a thing that people should be focused on instead when Tencent, a Chinese company, owns 40% of Epic. Every time you look at this game, think of the Uyghur camps. Think of Hong Kong's democracy slowly being crushed. Think of slave labor to build electronics. Think of a dictator who banned Winnie the Pooh.

No. You're thinking about TemTem.

It's fitting, Ooblets belongs in the oubliette, where games go to be forgotten.

Another free game? Thanks

shit you're right. thank you tim

You do know that it's not that kind of thread, right? It's just an opportunity to talk about a game I was looking forward to, because people will post in any thread that has to do with EGGS.

Was anyone really that hyped for the shitty tumblr the game, game?

This would be a valid argument if every company on Earth weren't doing business with China despite all the shit they do.

Judging by the way they talk, they’re going to care eventually. Their shortsightedness means they gleefully took the paycheck because they’re greedy scumbags, but their “artsy” estrogen-guzzling personalities mean when their garbage game is quickly forgotten you can be damn sure the blog posts will start rolling out with them crying that nobody liked their visionary masterpiece.

And they’re effectively branded for life, so nobody’s going to trust them on any future projects. Timmy’s money won’t last them forever, especially if they’re paying rent in a place like San Fran.

Why is every single dev that does an egs exclusive a condescending prick?

Eh, if they already got their big paycheck from China then I don’t see how they’d need my money anyway

Post yfw Epic gets so big that everyone starts flocking to them to the point where they stop paying devs upfront for expected sales because of some bullshit reason like “it’s to much to keep track of now”
Leading to millions of indie devs bitching on Twitter for not getting gook money now

Because the people who are willing to sell out due to cowardice are the same people who mistakenly think they're better than everyone else.

You'd be a prick too if you got loads of fuck you money.

They shouldn't. It's fucking disgusting, and I try to avoid giving money to the CCP whenever I can. I ordinarily wouldn't care but they mentioned human rights abuses. I assume they only care about whatever American human rights abuses they see, because they have no qualms about taking Chinese blood money.

This looked like the most feminine/gay shit ever in a bad way, it makes Animal crossing look manly.
Turns out the devs are pieces of shit what a surprise next you will tell me they are SJWs, who could see this coming!

It's funny how Epic is almost exclusively focusing on titles that PC Gamer is going out of its way to hype up, often at its E3 shows but also in its general reporting. Thank god PC Gamer has such dogshit taste or Epic might actually buy up games that are worth a damn.

the best thing about EGS is that they can only buy single player exclusives because any multiplayer game is going to to be dead on arrival, meaning there's no reason to not pirate them.

thanks tim!

I have 0 problems with using the Epic Store, even had it installed for a couple weeks so I could play Dauntless.
However to tell others they should worry about "serious issues" is pretty hilarious and condescending, and so is the attitude posted on OP saying "Hurr durr I bet you wouldn't buy our game anyway!!!"
Honestly? I use mostly steam. If I saw Ooblets around, I would probably give it a try. I like pokémon like games. Now that is out of side, I would have trouble remembering it even existed.
However, the dev made sure that, if I ever decide to play this, it's going to be a pirate. Hope he can worry about starving kids or whatever and not get mad.

>epic pays for my pirated copy of them game
thanks epic

>it's okay because Steam did it 15 years ago

I hope the devs won't mind me pirating their game then, I need to send my money to charity to fund an NGO helping out child soldiers in Africa.

Tetris effect is literally the only game they sniped I only slightly care about and I wrote that off as PS4 exclusive so I struggle to mentally register it.

>Epic continues paying devs so we can pirate without remorse

THANKS TIM

Why can't they simply just say "We needed money to eat and they gave us a better deal, sorry?" Why does it have to turn into "HAHA FUCK YOU GAMERS SEETHE WE'RE GREAT AND YOU'RE AWFUL?" I assume there's some sort of major undercurrent where these devs fucking hated being on Steam and now they're burning bridges.

The game doesn't look worth it even for free.

Some game ive never heard of is exclusive

Oh no

OOPSIE WOOPSIE

WE DID THE THING

HOOPSIE POOPSIE

TIM BOUGHT US OUT WOOPSIE DOOPSIE DOO DOO

fucking niggers fuck off with yoru dog shit thread and dog shit indie game nobody cares faggoto

Because being too broke to eat is shameful and demonstrates severe incompetence. They need to justify it as more than just paying the bills or greed. Hence the word vomit.

>Ironic
They are literally getting CCP money.

I made an Epic account to get my free copy of Shadow Complex because I loved that game. Turns out if you just develop your own games, then no one minds if you make em exclusive to your proprietary trash heap. All this moneyhat exclusive shit rubs me the wrong way so much that I'm unlikely to ever use that Epic account ever again. If they had released Shadow Complex 2, I would have happily bought it day one, but instead they decided to be little bitches whose exclusives I'd rather pirate.

It's the only thing that made me seethe, because they're getting money from a country that is now currently training to brutally murder thousands of Hong Kongers.

>bro worry more about human rights/climate change

So why did they use Epic's money to make their indie game instead of using that towards building solar panels for poor african villages? They should follow their own advice

>inb4 kys monkey

Why the fuck would you want to play a Pokemon rip-off where the Pokemons look absolutely fucking soulless?

I don't give a shit if devs sell out. No skin off of my dick. But when they do it with the excuse that selling out gives them the ability to make the game with less compromises it comes off as a flat out lie considering there's a huge compromise being made.

>Why can't they simply just say "We needed money to eat and they gave us a better deal, sorry?"
That's literally what they said, read the post. The only reason you guys are interpreting it as condescending is because of your enormous victim complex

Seriously, I can't imagine you'd get anywhere near as much hate if you were just honest that it was purely out of financial necessity. Maybe Epic has some clause where they force you to act like their store is somehow better for them rather than just purely being a moneyhat.

>Fucking EGS shill spends all of the thread on fucking Skatebird getting rejected from EGS trying to say the game being "shit" is why it got rejected and not because the Kickstarter had steam keys
>Now fucking EGS completely shows their lack of quality control with Tumblr Pokemon being an exclusive

Attached: 1411436977165.png (844x467, 621K)

the compromise has nothing to do with the development of the game itself, only with what store it is sold on

You read the post. That's not all they said. Obviously.

What am I even reading?

don't matter
will pirate and seed for as long as possible tho

Was just about to post this. If you absolutely have to force yourself to play some cheap western pokemon knockoff, might aswell play temtem. Looks better, plays better, has actual multiplayer elements, has a team behind it, you can actually understand the gameplay. I still dont fucking get what the fuck you do in ooblets. Do you fight? Do you play cards to fight? Dance mechanics? Gardening? It feels convulated in presentation.

They might be SJWs but they haven't really shown any political leanings aside from the post above, if one could even surmise from that. I haven't checked up on them for a year or two now though so that could've changed.

>dev comes out and says they just did it for the money
>FUCKING GREEDY JEWS, EPIC'S CHINESE BOTNET SWIPES ANOTHER GAME, FUCKING SJWS
don't even pretend this wouldn't be the response

Of course the retard arguing with me isn't going to bother speaking correct English. THAT IS A COMPROMISE considering selling the game is the point of making the game how you sell the game is a part of how customers interact with the game.

>Its not meant to be condescending, just honest, EXCEPT FOR DISMISSAL OF FACTS
Whatever, its an indie game, and I know they need the money. Just SAY you did it for the money and stop. Don't tell me its good for me. Don't tell me its good for the industry. Don't fucking bullshit it. Just say you did it for the money and shut the fuck up.

Why do developers want to make money, but also expect the people they're fucking over to still like them? They can take all of Tim's money, but why do they think it doesn't come with strings attached and that they're being attacked out of nowhere?

I wonder what would happen if one of these exclusives ended up having some content that was very heavily anti-china in them. Would Tencent get in hot water over that? Financially supporting media that is critical of the party?

>Why is every single dev that does an egs exclusive a condescending prick?
Contrarians usually are

They already had this nailed when they picked up Klei, Supergiant and Obisidian's games.

>Temtem is a massively multiplayer creature-collection adventure inspired by Pokémon. Seek adventure in the lovely Airborne Archipelago alongside your Temtem squad. Catch every Temtem, battle other tamers, customize your house, join a friend's adventure or explore the dynamic online world.

chad goty game?

I think they expect the people they're "fucking over" to not be big fat babies who can't deal with opening another launcher

>dump the pokemon fights for the retarded dance offs?

Or maybe they want the undertale audience

Why aren’t they buying more AAA games rather than indie shit?
You’d think that would be a bigger priority since it rakes in waaaay more customers.
Not to mention that unlike indie devs they don’t fucking say dumb shit like what the Ooblets team.
Seriously, what are they planning? What’s holding them back from buying more AAA shit?

As always the epic shills refuse to acknowledge that the problem people have with EGS has nothing to do with needing to move their mouse and click it. Stop arguing like a disingenuous asshole and pay attention to what people actually have issues with.

Good thing Klei and SuperGiant are being smart about it.

Only the EA versions of the games will be exclusive to Epic.

>hey guys we're going to launch on a popular, well made store
>make sure to donate lots of mone!

At least it's not as bad as Shenmue's DLC fiasco. You suck, get fucked, end of story.

So coNDeCsENDiNg WAAAAAAAAH WHY WON'T THEY LET ME PLAY ON SWEAM

Oh sure, for some folks, but I certainly wouldn't harbor any ill will over it and I can't imagine I'm the only one who feels that way. I can't blame people for taking money they desperately need when there's no guarantee their game will sell even if it's good. I only find it despicable when it's a kickstarter game that sells out its backers like Shenmue and Phoenix Point. For those games, there is no excuse, they are greedy pieces of shit.

looks comfy

Quite a few Yea Forumsirgins have been looking forward to Ooblets for some time and I think you'd know that if you frequented the board. I found out about the game through Yea Forums.

You just can't help yourself. You need to strawman everything. I'm not surprised you don't know how to type English.

I'll use the EGS when attempting to uninstall and reinstall my games doesn't fuck up every other game in my library (still happening since UT Alpha was released on it). Still waiting!

I know we're all on storefronts wars currently but can someone actually explain to me what the fuck is this game about?

So it's like a Pokemon+Animal Crossing game with an utterly dogshit artstyle/designs?

>indirectly

They get a fucking paycheck from Epic, six months of MAYBE a couple hundred copies legit sold to actual customers and then no one gives a shit about their game when it hits Steam so they become another fucking indie dev crying that their shit game doesn't sell on Steam

my dude the last thread about this full of people screaming about how EGS was a chinese plot to put tracking shit on US computers. that's what every thread about this devolves into, don't even try to sidestep it because it's a huge part of the narrative here.

Well I mean like Epic and tencent don't realize what they're funding, they give a bunch of money to this game and it has a whole storyline about the mistreatment of Tibet or something. What would happen? Would anything happen or would china just turn a blind eye?

yeah don't fucking lie on top of it all now, this is like the 4th thread on this subject today, nobody cares about fucking ooblets except for you and your discord tranny friends, or I should say nobody cared because apparently now it's wojak-worthy

>getting mad that Timmy bought everyone's copy in advance
Timmy is fucking based

If i make a pong clone and make it epic exclusive can i get them to give me Money?

Stage 1:
>I won't buy this game because I don't care
Stage 2:
>I won't buy this game because I don't care and also because devs are shitters

Hmm, so this is the power of outrage marketing.

Cringe. I'm not even going to pirate this one.

That depends, was there a big campaign on kickstarter and advertised on the Steam store?

>so heres this post making it into a big deal
>btw stop trying to see it as a big deal, focus on climate change
>also fuck you if you have a different opinion
>oh and if you think its condescending then youre a manchild lmao dont reply to me
The discord ahitshow was the most fun. Thr boyfriend said theyre going offline, but just hid their mod and admin tags and were still up. Then procceeded to talk shit more. Eventually out of nowhere he said that his gf(the dev) is in the shower now and they will go to a restaurant out of fucking nowhere for no reason while talking about a completely different topic.

I just want my Ooblets. Fuck this controversy shit.

tencent AKA the chinese government you fucking retard

it's a low-budget animal crossing clone with retarded tumblr tier artstyle, it was never going to succeed anyway

He meant China. Since Tencent owns a large portion of Epic Games.

You could just... get it on the epic store? what is stopping you from doing that

If advertising actually worked, a big push for piracy would actually be GOOD for these games. Tim's already paying for every lost sale, so there's no reason not to test this theory.

Ooblets devs were scared of Temtem.

>Don't tell me its good for me. Don't tell me its good for the industry. Don't fucking bullshit it
Exactly, just be honest about why you did it, don't try to deflect about how you believe that Epic is going to change the industry when everyone knows that's a load of bullshit. If Epic actually cared about changing that 30% cut then they'd be buying exclusivity from consoles too.

And if you're using that busted argument as a scapegoat you're still not doing what I just fucking told you to do. You're choosing the obvious bullshit to attack instead of the legitimate problems people have with Epic because you don't want to acknowledge that people have legitimate problems with the company and how it's handling this situation. Trying to turn the PC marketplace into an exclusivity vying wasteland like the console marketplace is bad for everyone except for Epic. It gives customers less choices. Nobody has a problem with Epic selling games. People have a problem with Epic forcing the hands of the customers. It's pure, unadulterated greed on their part and the customers are going to be the ones that shoulder the burden of higher prices and less features. If you are a person who buys video games you should be advocating that games be sold at as many different stores as possible.

If you would ever behave as though you support exclusivity for a store you are a fucking shill and you need to fuck off of Yea Forums.

I guess i can make a fake kickstarter and back it myself
Thats how people got rich off the ouya

Doesn't matter. Epic games guarantees them half a million sales or so. They made bank and can pretty much retire. Their public image will eventually recover. It always does.

Meanwhile an actually good western pokemon knockoff is already in playable alpha and doing well.

the likes of abuses which the Chinese carries out every hour of the day? It takes a lot of audacity to cry about muh human rights when Timmy Tencent and the abusive chink regime he works are responsible for more than their fair share of exploitation and abuse.

Because AAA games are not that desperate and maybe know the bad publicity is not worth it for some money, well except Gearbox, but they are actually retarded

>MUH CLIMATE CHANGE
>MUH BIGGER PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD

Do none of these tards realize that they're essentially selling fucking toys? Buying games doesn't benefit starving children in Africa or human trafficking rings or endangered animals or fucking melting polar ice caps.

>we did the thing you hate
>but maybe fuck you???

you guys will say that game looks great and ooblets looks like shit despite them having the same art style

Okay so what do you do in the game. Its pokemon. Give me a quick rundown of the main game loop and why i should care about it

AAA shit is more expensive and most people will buy it on consoles anyway. It wouldn't surprise me if buying a dozen totally different indie games is cheaper than a single big budget game and gives better results.

I'd respect them more if they put their balls out and said it this brazenly.
>Yeah, we took the money. Suck my dick. Choke on it.

Its okay user, based tim is giving it out for free.

>same artstyle
Wrong. Ooblets is mostly flat color pastels, while temtem has a good mix of actually handdrawn textures even if its huge details and broad strokes.

>we did the thing
God I hate people who talk like that.

While I have seen threads about it and a few people were interested, don't pretend this game was some kind of sleeper hit in the making. There were less people interested than in fucking La Mulana 2 and that game bombed.

I mean it's true the whole launcher seems like fucking malware, but aside frome that the store is barebones as fuck, refunds are a pain, no cart, subpar sale system, plus i don't know if you can search already because before you couldn't, before strawmaning research the shit you are defending faggot

With all these EGS exclusivity announcements, we are learning the true colors of a lot of developers that now we can avoid

They really despise gamers, and now that they sold out and don't need gamer money anymore, they get to say it. Very nasty people.

So thank god they're not allowed to be mad if I pirate their game since climate change exists

AAA publishers all have already launched their own clients, or at least aspire to it. They're not interested in just switching from Gaben to Tim when they could switch from Gaben to their own storefront like EA Origin, b.net, Uplay, B.net launcher (how did Todd get away with that?)
Ubisoft marketing might actually be shilling for Epic only because it's actually helping drive sales off of Steam and to Uplay (not Epic)

Look at the damn thing for a minute and tell me it isn't targeting exclusively women, trannies and twitter warriors. They don't care about heath ledger-posting dank gamers because they know they don't buy games. One thing they do however is get angry everytime the EGS gets a new title. This dumb controversy is just more advertisement for these onions-drinking devs and their audience.

Oh right, sorry, still randy's meltdown is the first thing that came to mind regarding this shit

The person writes like a fucking asshole.

So now all of Yea Forums is royalty?!?

imagine caring about or playing indie shit when japanese aa games exist.

Yes the "true colors" of wanting to make money off of an entertainment product you spent years making. How evil, how terrible of them.

I wonder if one day they will try to get ballsy enough to swipe a console exclusive game.

Thank you, based Tim.

Man the funniest part of E3 this year was during the PC show when they had various vetted tweets scrolling at the bottom of the screen and one of them said "wow with all these great games, I'm gonna need a SHOPPING CART to carry em all!"

>You are not allowed to criticize without being labeled as a potential pirate
We're back to this stigma again. Un-fucking-believable.

>"Can i just remind people that Ooblets does not belong to them personally? Like.. I made it, and Ben made it.. and we used our own money to make it (like all of it) with some help from Patreon. Moving your own product from one platform to another platform is not a scam.."
What a fucking bitch of a dev

Explain why you disagree with the point if you want to act like you disagree with it. The point of course is that exclusivity is bad for customers. Shut the fuck up if you're not going to address the point.

The literal human beans of 2019, which if you didnt know, is the current year.

Its honestly fucking crazy that it's now just out there in the open that Epic is literally buying enough copies from the developers to let them break even, before the game even goes on sale so these chuckle fucks can just make pure unadulterated profit from the gamers™

And honestly, who could resist that? Just take your money and run with it. Why the fuck did these devs think it was okay to just trash talk their entire audience while their video game character flosses? How much contempt do you have for your consumers that you think that's okay and morally superior?

I don't think this person understands that when you make this business decision to go to Epic, you are now exposing your game to people who may not have known it existed. For some this is actually the first time they heard about your game thanks to the twitter news dissemination.

You actually could have gotten a potential buy from me because this game seems kind of interesting and I may have actually used EGS for it if you just came out and said "Epic handed us so much money that it would have been stupid for us to refuse it. Sorry but now it's available only on EGS for PC". Short sweet and honest admission. Something you can't be mad at the devs about, but only Epic for doing these kinds of things.

But now after seeing how terrible you are as a person I don't want to support your game.

How about you as a dev have some fucking professionalism and decorum about concerns consumers actually have instead of handwaving it off because you have epics cock so far down your throat?

You're responding to some ESL fucker who's being paid to astroturf, don't expect logic.

Curation doesn't benefit the consumer. Not speaking about shovelware but many games series that people like would never be accepted on EGS or GoG just because of the audience it's intended for. Ports would never have been made if not for Steam's open nature. It doesn't help the PC to be a dictator of good games.

Even if you don't agree with the Doomsayers, you still know that Epic isn't going to affect any positive change, so why bother playing devils advocate? Epic is a wolf in sheep's clothing, let people spread hyperbole and misinformation about them, the more the better. I welcome it.

Well I have a absolutely no reason to now. I didn't know about the game, I saw the name and a bit of footage before reading the news story and I was interested. But I can live my life just fine without giving a terribly obsessed and vindictive person more money

No, I think Epic will have precisely zero effect on the game industry as a whole. Devs get some extra money and those who insist on Steam (because EGS will always be feature-scarce compared to Steam) can wait a year for it. That's hardly a "wasteland" of choice.

You realize that there are a whole lot of people on this board who, despite not necessarily caring about an individual game, will still give it a shot if its cheap and out of the ordinary because they just like games in general.
This is the board where the fucking Undertale fanbase initially started building when the demo was released years before the game came out. This is also a board where you can have a conversation about fucking Otome BL VNs. I guarantee you that there are people here that would buy this game.

If that were the only part of the story nobody would have a problem. But they're making games exclusive which is explicitly taking choices away. Your argument is nonsensical. Address the problem with exclusivity taking choices away from customers. Explain why customers should want this. Until you do that you're not going to have a fucking argument with me.

EGS didn't exist until dec retard. No dev wants to bother setting their own launcher with 0 advertising when they can just throw it on Steam with no effort

According to journalists who never publish actual numbers it was super duper successful.

Never understood this "steam is flooded" complaint. Who is sitting there looking through all the new releases? People find out about new games from whatever internet forum, youtube/twitch flavor of the month or being part of a niche genre community. Then you just go straight to the game on steam.

Ah yes. Games that were supposed to come out on both GOG and Steam are now only on Epic.

They are not taking your choice, you never had one before(because most games are steam exclusives paid or not paid, i don't care. changes nothing from my perspective).

It's pretty much just a cesspool of devs and publishers for your blacklist.

The only one that was remotely interesting to me is the one where you play as a space station AI and there has been a major catastrophic incident on the station with unknown causes, but I like this very particular kind of game, and they're uncommon.

Also I have no way of knowing if its good because EGS doesn't have user reviews.

Ughh like yeah? Hello ever heard of fucking FORTNIGHT? Or are you living under a rock??

Go back
I did explain why exclusivity period allow customers to have more choice in the end. This is important for me as a customer, i like choice which previous state of pc market never had.
I know it's hard for you to understand since you don't care about actual choice. Afterall, NO STEAM NO BUY

Errr, the people who want the game now and not a year from now are going to pirate it. You do realize this right? EGS isn't competing with Steam, it's competing with free.

The worst part for me is the fucking message cooldown meaning that any sort of retort will come 3 minutes late, so everyone just spam reacts everything

Funny they announce this on the 1st of the month to make sure they still get their Patreon bucks.

Until you address that point it's always going to be correct. You have no argument against it. Of course I'm going to rub your retarded nose in it. I'm repeating it because you can't deal with it. It

That's a false notion, there's no way to assuage fuckepic posters, the only thing they want to see is no more epic exclusives and no more epic store, absolutely anything said would be construed as insufficient. Regardless, they don't owe anyone professionalism or decorum, they're just game devs. The customer isn't always right, the customer is a stupid asshole, and you'd know this if you ever worked a service or retail job in your life.

You did not. Epic making games exclusive does not give you more choices. You did not explain how it does.

Except Steam has been beating piracy with convenience for years now. If you were planning on buying a game on sale, there is no difference.

Those are not available for a large portion of new PC games.

>(how did Todd get away with that?)

He didn't because they came running back to steam. They are going to try to leave again though.

You dont have to buy it on steam and it means there are more markets than just steam you retard. Plus it gives developers more options, more bargaining chips. In return this also causes different stores to compete. If they win, they attract more customers. If they attract more customers more devs come. So the other store needs to offer better deals for devs to sell games and players to buy the games. How hard is it to understand you manchild retard?

This game doesn't look high budget or in desperate need of money. What do they need the Epic exclusivity deal for?

Prohibiting me from buying it where I should be able to buy it is taking my choice as a customer away. All of your fucking drivel in this post is meaningless because you want to try and debate the application of the word choice. Your insane idea is that Epic is competing with Steam when the truth is Epic is explicitly trying to prevent competition with Steam by selling products Steam cannot. That's the point. That's the problem. Steam sells video games A and Epic wants to sell video games B without any intersection in order to capitalize the most. This takes my choices away. I want both Epic and Steam to sell video games A and B because that would give me the most choices. Shut the fuck up you shilling retard.

But the entire blog post was "only money matters" in 500k words.
Even when they went to defend Epic they were like "It's free, doesn't cost money from you consumers". They literally can't think of anything else.

I have 0 problems with them going with EGS (except that I just vastly prefer Steam), but the half-ironically lazy attitude about it is just shit. No one finds that kind of attitude to be charming, they just take it as uncommitment to say what they really think, which is that they think concerns over this is a joke to them.

Arguing with you is like trying to explain basic concepts to a child.

Nah

Epic signs deals to pay out expected sales for a game in exchange for exclusivity.
So basically if a dev says I expect to make 500k from this game and Epic believes that's reasonable they pay out the 500k.

They went back up weeks ago. I got Underrail DLC the day it came out.

Okay, i'm sorry i had no idea. Since you are clearly mentally handicapped i will try explain it as simple as i can.

Let's take borderlands 3 once again as an example.

Scenario 1. Withouth epic it would be on steam and steam only like previous titles. No choice, you can get it on steam or eat shit.
Scenario 2. Now wild epic appears. For 6 months you can get it only on epic store but after 6 months you can get in on both steam and egs.

See, epic give us more choices after a period of time. And here is another thing, if you release your game on steam by using steamworks features you won't be able to sell it on other storefronts withouth additional investment because steamworks is tied to steam. Epic systems are not tied to EGS which create even more potential choices. Why do you think sekiro is not on Battlenet alongside steam? Because it uses steamworks. Thanks to epic games won't be trapped in steam anymore and pc gaming will be truly open like it always should be.

Imagine not having any trust in the success of your game that you take money from the store upfront and then shit on your audience.

You still haven't adequately explained why customers should want their choices taken away from them. You have no logical reasoning. I keep punching holes in your shitty rationale and fairy tales about how Epic is going to eventually make things better when using your fucking logic Epic could make that chance to make things better this very instant and yet they're choosing not to. Instead of buying exclusivity they could eat the losses by selling their games at a discounted price on their store but they're choosing not to. Instead they're trying to fuck up the marketplace even though they're spending just as much money in both scenarios.

>Withouth epic it would be on steam and steam only like previous titles
Nobody is saying Epic shouldn't be allowed to sell games you retard. The problem is the exclusivity. Steam doesn't force devs and publishers to use Steam exclusively. That's the key difference. The existence of Epic isn't the problem. Get that through your mother fucking head.

It looks shitty. At this point going to epic is an admission the dev is not very confident in his game.

>Steam doesn't force devs and publishers to use Steam exclusively.

They do, indirectly with steamworks. That kind of exclusivity is not for a certain amount of time like epic one. Also, epic does not force anyone either. This is something steamdrones decide to ignore, just like the fact that steam also started with paid exclusives.

I figured you wouldn't be able to counter anything i said. Afterall it's the truth

I've been fucking saying this since day one. Steam and Epic enable mediocrity.

Where as Steam heavily popularized digital releases which just lead to LOL WE'LL PATCH IT LATER mentality and opening the floodgates for every schmuck dev out there at least every game dev will have to undergo a trial of fire in the wild west that is Steam and hopefully come out a good game by the end of it. Epic on the other hand literally pays devs to be shit. They're coddling trash games paying it forward to the devs knowing full well that trickle down economics is a fucking meme and that the customers won't feel the benefits of their moneyhatting at all.

>They do, indirectly with steamworks
You mean they offer a worthwhile service for developer and publishers to use? That's not forcing. That's being the obviously better choice for publishers, developers, and customers.
>Also, epic does not force anyone either.
If I want to buy a game that is Epic exclusive I have no choice but to buy it from the EGS. That's forcing my hand when I should be able to buy it at the EGS and Steam. BOTH. That would give me a choice. I want choices. I want these companies to actually compete because competition might result in better prices for me. Epic is avoiding competition and as a result there is no opportunity for me to get better prices.

Sure, they were not "forced" to do this but they got probably at least as much money up front as they would have made on Steam in 3 years or so for exclusivity on a store that everyone hates.

what about Scenario 3: just fucking launch the game on both Platforms
hell before EGS steam wasnt the only player in the field, nothing was stopping Randy from releasing BL3 on GOG or Discord or some shit
what Epic is doing is actively taking choice away

Because some customers have half a brain and can recognize the short-term tradeoff in choice for the benefit of having another competitor. Epic cannot discount the retail price without also reducing the perceived value of the game which affects the sales on all platforms. Remember? They tried that.

I mean, it's obvious, yeah. But it goes against the usual "Muh billion of fortnite kiddies" and "Totally better sales than literally everywhere else" you hear from everyone else who made the deal with Epic.

Wait a bit, done. Now you have a choice, previously you did not. You're welcome

>You mean they offer a worthwhile service for developer and publishers to use? That's not forcing. That's being the obviously better choice for publishers, developers, and customers.
It's not a better choice, epic platform is as good as steamworks for that and even better thanks to crossplay option. And it does not trap games in EGS like steamwork does. Thanks to that every EGS game will go to steam sooner or later, unlike steam exclusives(that are not paid, but forced by steamworks). Steam games are trapped in steam forever, but you don't care about that. Afterall you just want gaben dick in your anus.

They've sniffed me out.

I can't believe these fuckers make me miss phil fish
At least he had the balls to say shit like that even if he was a clown

Doesnt steam also let devs issue their own steam keys independently, making steam just the delivery system if they really wanted to? I think I read something like that in one of these threads.

>another competitor
Epic isn't competing. They're avoiding competition. That's the point of exclusivity. Being the sole vendor for a product means you get to avoid competition that would take your potential profit away from selling the same goods.
>Epic cannot discount the retail price without also reducing the perceived value of the game
They can't do this unannounced or without consulting the publishers, but they can sell a game for cheaper than Steam if they make a deal to give the publishers more off of the top for the trouble.

As much as I hate these dumbass threads and obvious shilling, I do appreciate that Yea Forums is slowly moving away from american politics retardation and focusing outward on the very real Chinese menace. Maybe Epic will be the first victim.

phil fish was, quite literally, pretending to be retarded
it doesn't take balls when you're doing it for attention

But maybe it's worth to release on on Epic because you'll have more exposition, since Stam is too crowded with shit games?

>They do, indirectly with steamworks.
That's a service developers get for the 30% cut they pay. Shopping cart included.
What the fuck are you even arguing here? Steam is forcing developers by providing them with the tools necessary to use Steam after they agreed to pay for the right to use Steam?

At this point youre either lobotomized or just having a good laugh by pretending to be retarded on purpose.

My choice to buy the game at launch has been affected. I can no longer choose to buy the game at launch if I don't want to have my hand forced. This is taking choice away. I'm well aware that the problem can be mitigated if I wait long enough. That's not a solution to the problem.

Sure, but the EGS isn't actually convenient.

How will they ever recover.

but I don't use discord

because Discord actually offers a FREE and USEFUL service
I didn't even know Discord sold games

I didn't even know that Discord had a store or games were exclusive to it.
That said I have other uses besides a storefront for discord unlike EGS which is a featureless store.

Valve doesn't get a cut from third party sites either. That's how Humble Bundle, GMG, Fanatical, etc remain competitive.

I dont use discord to play games. I use it to get tranny butts. If i could do that on epic launcher, id use it for that as well.

Discord has a game store?

I'm pretty sure 90% of its users don't even know the store exists. The other 10% just doesn't buy from it.

EGS is little more than untalented trustfund baby welfare at this point. I'm just amazed the chinks don't have a single soul with enough business sense to tell them they're actually serving as a containment store by gathering all the undesirables.

It literally doesn't. You're making shit up because you don't understand anything. The existence of Steamworks doesn't force developers to never sell anywhere else. There are hundreds if not thousands of games that are sold on Steam AND other launchers (or not launchers) at the same time and they are completely unaffected by Steamworks. You're such a blind fucking shill it's disgusting. You STILL have not explained why game exclusivity is good for customers. All you can do is squirm around and act like it's not a big deal.

Only Starbucks drinking, Twitter verified, manbun having, cuckold living, California born sissies consume products based on what they perceive to be social issues.

So theres gonna be a quartering video of this huh...

The devs are actively arguing with people in their discord, they should use the money to buy a PR guy

They don't actually consume those products because that means spending money they don't have. They just act like they do on social media for virtue signalling points.

Are publishers and developers incapable of deciding to make their games available to multiple launchers beforehand? Exactly how is this equivalent to Steam forcing their hand?

>more choice after a certain period of time
That's not more choice. That's less choice for a certain period of time, then the adequate amount of choice afterwards. Understand the difference. Games should be available everywhere possible at launch. That would give customers a choice. You have no argument against this simple concept. Epic exclusivity takes choices away. That's the fundamental reason why exclusivity works in the first place. It wouldn't function otherwise. It wouldn't be exclusive if there was still a choice, so being exclusive MUST include taking choice away. This isn't fucking rocket science, retard.

Does Tim think it's a good idea teaching these young adults to rely on him to bail them out of these financial responsibilities they have? That kind of tactic destroys fish ponds with feed dispensers since the fish only learn to rely on the dispenser instead of getting it themselves. They end up complacent and lazy.
