The title made me assume they believed this to be a large amount.

nah, that's reeesetera

Epic literally dabbing on Steam.

There's no voice chat? What the fuck?

Why dont you post some more Epic exclusives? Oh wait only Take Two are allowed to sell their games outside of Humble and EGS.

>30% cut is outrageous, fuck Steam
>you can buy EGS key from GMG which takes 30% though
Lmao

Outrage culture does nothing, only a vocal minority care and to everyone else it's just free adverting

>only 3.5%

Are these people retarded? Any serious business would consider a sudden 3.5% drop in sales or revenue as a serious problem that needs to be addressed immediately.

>first day
How much have refunded since? Surely they would be screaming from the rooftops if only 5% refunded so far right?

EGS exclusivity just means you can pirate guilt-free. Timmy already bought you a copy.

You are mixing up developer cut with consumer cut, based retardo

>GMG which takes 30% though
Obviously they dont.

If you faggots all stopped being mad when Epic did this companies would stop doing it, your anger makes the stories go viral and gives them millions in free advertising.

You have to learn to stop doing what these companies want you to do.

Being ignored is worse than making some people mad.

What's up with these bullshit numbers?

"Pre-orders" are retarded in the age od digital distribution. You're paying upfront for a product you'll receive later. That's like telling devs "I've already paid you, now you can shit on my plate and I'll HAVE to eat it".
Pre-orders were a thing when there was a limited amount of physical copies of something.

Stop. Being. Dumb.

That's like 3.5%. Yet a similar percentage is catered to for "representation" in games all the time.

A shame refunds aren't a feature of the epic games store

They lost an entire persons yearly salary worth of money in a single day before most people even realized what happened? That's great.

Okay. Now lets see first week.

>3.5% lost preorders within 24 hours
>haha ‘tis but a flesh wound
That’s 3.5% of people fanatical enough to preorder a fucking pgi MW game after MWO... within a day.

Why are Epiccels so deluded?

>Keeps giving
Epic gets less money not the developer, based retardo

I'm guessing that Tim bought the other 19,300 copies.

Technically they actually have cloud saves now. For some selected games, that is.

if you don't plan on using the additional services then you might as well pirate, especially since tim already paid for your copy

And how do you know that? We don't even know the rules on generating keys on EGS.

No game should ever require a third party launcher because then you're only renting the game and Mr. Corporation will take it away from you the moment it becomes convenient.

>HRURRR STEAM
Sorry, steam is not exempt. If you love video games, you would support gog, encourage devs to release the games themselves, or encourage piracy. You can't blindly white knight corporate stooges like Tim Sweeney and Gabe Newell.

>some (2)

>believing a known liar

Majority of relevant indie games weren't EGS exclusive before it came around and bought it.
A specific example is Griftlands and Hades. Klei and Supergiant always had all their games DRM free through Humble Bundle and GoG. Now those two games are locked to EGS.

Ah, there was another?

Yeah, right. It's publisher who sells the game on GMG. Epic is not the publisher, why would they cover GMG's cut you retard? They'll only cover UE4 royalties if you're using it.

Yeah, Robot Alchemic Drive updated with cloud saves 12 hours ago.

OHNONONONO STEAMCHADS WHAT DO WE DO NOW!?!?!?!?!?!?!?????

Epic is the publisher, it's their fucking store, it's their key
>Shitposting about epic store
>Can't provide any proofs
>Wants a proof from me
Kys

And it only took them, what, 7 months for them to catch up with the competition in that field? But hey, let's not forget that Steam didn't have cloud saves back when it launched in 2004 either, so thart makes it fine that EGS launches without them in 2018!

the epic store terms of service isnt like steams

The PR speak is so fucking obvious at this point, must've been a hefty chunk of refunds

twitter.com/russ_bullock/status/1156326362375806977
PGI still hasn't actually sent notices to people that pre-ordered about the changes, though. That's 700 people actually following what is going on, and not the ones who have pre-ordered it and not really staying up to date on a game that's gone through so many delays at this point on a day by day basis.

>Epic is the publisher, it's their fucking store, it's their key
Imagine being this retarded. Is Sony publishing every PS4 game? Does Microsoft publish every X1 game? Does Valve publish every Steam game? No, they don't. Borderlands 3 is published by Take Two, not Epic you moron.
Steam makes it clear that they take 0% from key sales, while there's no such info on EGS key sales. You're the one who's claiming shit with no proof fucking shill.

Moving over to GOG as a Steam user for the past 10+ years was pretty painless and they've got basically all he features Steam has. Why is epic store so utterly feature deprived compared to Steam/GOG?

Why doesn't Epic just use their unlimited money to just undercut Steam and build goodwill toward their customers like every other business? I feel less inclined to use your platform when you make it look like you're taking games hostage and lording it over everyone. Fuck Gamestop for doing this with physical shit as well, glad they're fucking dying.

Answer me this EGS shills: why doesn't Epic share its games with GOG? If it wants to encourage competition and destroy Steam's monopoly, why is it harming other storefronts by keeping games away from them? Keep in mind that Epic is not allowed to do things for profit, as profit is what makes steam evil, remember?

Attached: 294.png (944x948, 37K)

Didn't they purposely delay refunds specifically for this reason? That idiot Bullock has been blocking people on twitter asking for when their refunds are coming through, and they are sending out the refund emails slowly over the course of a week or more. The 3.5% is only the first few that managed it.

>metro exodus keys are being sold on G2A lying steamcuck
those are the key written on the physical copies, they don't count

And how is this relevant to what I said?

>3,5% loss in a DAY
>not that much

They didn't talk about following days for a reason

because gog is just like linux, nobody uses it except for a very vocal minority of autists

didn't you bitching about keys sales you fucking retard

>check leddit
>"I don't think I can claim credit for this, but, I tweeted Russ at 11:01, asking if he will do this. At 11:11 he announces that he will do this. And blocks me for good measure."

you are retarded

If rumors are to be believed then there was a group of something like 4000 BT die hards that cancelled the pre-order all at once after that first day. And I would believe it too since BT fans are a special kind of crazy.

Key sales cut, not whether you can sell keys or not.

no, i don't use neither gog nor linux

>tfw ever since the fiasco people even started boycotting MWO so not only are they getting their new game refunded, their old moneymaker is making less money since MWO is basically run on goodwill

Someone claimed their clan of 2000 refunded.

are you stupid? Epic also doesn't get any profit from 3rd party key seller site dumbass

It's a logical assumption but there's no concrete proof of that.

we are talking about epic here not steam, subhuman

the key sold on 3rd party website are those from physical copies, the cut is already included

That's true in case of Metro but not BL3.

no, it's that literally nobody cares about gog's existence at this point

Did you forgot how they handled the microtransactions on MWOnline? Or when they tried to scam others again by jumping on the Star Citizen's success and make their own Space Game and asking over a million dollars for it to get funded, only on their own website?

I never trusted them and I'm still mad that such an amazing IP is held by these fuckers.

You don't "make back" lost customers, they're gone for good and that's money you're not getting.

I bet about 5% of them actually kickstarted in the first place.

>>Epic is trying to encourage competition
except it doesn't, they simple want more people on their shitty store to make more money in the future, they couldn'd care less for competition or m-m-muh developers

Oh no 700 copies lost
Surely the game will never sell more than what was pre-ordered

refunds? You can't buy this on Steam so where the fuck are they offering refunds from and what does it matter?

theyve been taking patreon money for literal years

HURRRR A DURRRR

"on the first day"

How can we even help Steam at this point, can someone maybe setup a patreon for them?

I'm pirating the game.

>700 first day
>didn't even send notices to all of their customers
It's grown by now. I don't really care though since it's a free game, they can do whatever they want with it.

Post your pc games library.

Fortnite basically died today. It is over.

A loss is a loss no matter how you try to paint it, also that's only "day one" and hasn't been updated since.

I do remember, but man I wanted a SP MechWarrior game to the point that I was willing to support them further. Shame on me and I hope they lose the IP.

They're required to price match the Epic Store price though, which completely kills the entire point of the third party sellers in the first place.

>>so why isn't epic trying to help them?
because epic doesn't care about competition, especially about gog

Except they are purposely delaying refunds so the 700 is just the start. People asking where are there refunds on twitter are getting blocked.

There was a kickstarter? I thought most people pre ordered when they were giving away free shit for MWO. Also on a side note, the Mad II sucks ducks. They shat on an amazing mech.

name one 3rd party game that valve wouldnt let release on other sites, ill wait.

Good luck getting the shills to admit that.

>reviews are social features

3.5% first day
probably about 5% the second day once word gets out
then back to another 3.5% the following day
Then 2% the next two days
then probably down to 1% for the next couple days

thats 18% in a week
then over the next week or so perhaps 2% totalmore as people living under rocks find out.

for an even 20% preorder cancel rate. Thats my prediction

Those are the first refunds that went through though, there are a shit ton more that PGI keep delaying, they are supposed to send emails out regarding the delayed refunds by the 4th.

Mechwarrior 5 only sold 20,000 copies?
I would say that is their main issue - not the refunds. That should be six figures if they were doing it 'right'.

The fact that only 20,000 people pre-ordered is pretty shitty.

How are refunds working? I know for the shenmue 3 refunds they onlh refund the game which is 30 so if you backed at higher tiers you only get 30 and have to war the rest. If mech warrior is the same no wonder people are not refunding

>Only money you gain is from being bailed out
This is not good for them. They want that bailout money AND sales. Now they out have the former and people hate you even more. Rip future sales, epic won't buy all their games forever ;)

Full refund for pre orders. They tried to scam people who paid more but you can yell at them to get the full.

Really? Wish that was the case for shenmue 3. I backed for an embassing amount and I'm very bitter about how this all went down

Except now people are also dropping MWO because of this, their main moneymaker. So this one-time payment is going to hurt them in the long run.

Why does Yea Forums suddenly care about this "tumblr art game that looks like shit anyway"? Lashing out like this is usually driven by... fear. A fear for what? That Steam won't be the premier place for PC games?

I actually don't mind the EGS stuff because every game on EGS seems to be cracked pretty quickly.
Plus it's exposing western devs as the trash that they are.

Those are some really fucking weird numbers to pick. Does this mean only 20 000 people pre ordered the game? What about the other days? Not everyone might have been able to refund during that first day. Is the 20 000 people a subset of the total pre orders and there's possibly a larger amount of refunds if you pick a different subset of 20 000 people?
