I doubt even Epic is going to pay for their next game if they don't sell their game to any "gamers".

I remember before Epic Store devs outright insulting their fanbase like this tended to result in them later crying about how it's unfair that their game didn't sell, see the Water tastes like wine dev or whatever the fuck that game was called.

Gamers literally are entitled though I'm not seeing the issue with these posts.

It's the commie mindset. They feel as though they're entitled to make millions by just "being themselves" and make any kind of rancid shit they want. Epic is feeding this mentality, and the interaction with these devs after getting the backlash they deserve is proving this claim quite well.

It was shown at E3 or some shit

They also apparently don't need customers if they're so willing to talk trash about their potential audience. What if you're a follower of their works and want to buy it on Steam, but can't because of the one-year EGS exclusivity? You're now an "angry gamer" that they don't need to care about?

He's right. Just look at looka laylee or whatever the mediocre game was called. The moment they triggered GAMERS, gamers started review bomb it, or as 8ch called it "operation nuke-a-laylee".
All because they, a private dev studio, wanted to distance themselves from a scandal (jontron)

Ah, no wonder they took the EBIN money, who the fuck's gonna buy something like that without uncle Ninty hyping it up for the people who would be into that?
But why are they so toxic about it in Discord? Just take the moolah and shut the fuck up.

He didn't pay for anything. Patreon is not a game distribution service or a crowd funding service. It is for donations. If you donate clothes to Good Will, does that mean homeless people owe you?

They seem like the sort of people that have to publicly validate themselves and show off that they're in the right and not us, and clearly we must be entitled toxic babies because how else would we be upset at them for doing the clearly right thing?

I'd have more respect for devs going to Epic at this point if they just said "Yeah, Epic offered us money and we just wanted the money."

And AHiT kept jontron, guess which game sold better? Don't fuck with us gamers!

Whatever your opinion on jontron, he was controversial, and for a small dev, that would be a gamble to keep him around. Point is, 8ch didn't give a fuck about helping jontron out of the selfmade drama, they just wanted to hurt the devs and make them go bankrupt.

I'm almost positive Epic sends them some sort of marketing phrases or some shit, because every developer who signs onto the epic store suddenly starts parroting these exact same arguments.

Oh lovely tumbler garbage.

It's the grand old game known as "read the thread dumbass"

Unfortunately, as much karmic justice that would be nice. With my luck they'll make a ton of money and not learn any lesson.

What causes someone to act like this?
You should know this project is your job and livelihood. It won't last forever and if you piss everyone off then it's back to flipping burgers or whatever these fuckos have done before.

Unfortunately with Epic money, their game can't really fail at this point. They're getting enough money upfront that it doesn't really matter. Which is part of the problem I have with Epic's deals, it's bypassing the way the free market works and encouraging garbage to keep getting made because "Whatever Epic will pay for it."

I only don't completely hate it because I know these deals are going to run out eventually and the devs who signed to Epic are going to completely fucking panic because no one is buying their games anymore.

This, they hopped onto the "lmao fuck gamers" train so quickly I hope they don't have any plans for another project after burning all this good will

All the sides except JonTron are guilty of caring.
But faggot devs dealt the first limpwristed blow.
They seeded the wind and reaped the whirlwind.

He's wrong. Just look at looka laylee or whatever the mediocre game was called. The moment they triggered GAMERS, gamers started buying the game.
Wow, it's almost like the actions of the 99.9% majority matter far more than the 0.1% majority, and that outliers shouldn't be propped up as the sole definition of what a gamer is. By the way, are you a journo or a game dev? Your sheer stupidity in failing to realize this, blatant attempt to push an agenda and misrepresent people, and not even being confident that you know what Yooka Laylee is but still insisting on spouting off like you know about it, all point to you not knowing shit.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case

They stated that the amount Epic paid is equal to the amount of sales they expected to get, they've already made a successful game as far as they're concerned

With people like ShillAlpha for example, constantly making videos of devs fuck ups, will be hard for them to regain the consumer trust, devs/publishers who take the Chinese pill don't plan for long term, they want to save their studio/recoup their loss as soon as possible, any other game they try to release will shadowed by their past deals.

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?

Or, is it more likely that you won't be able to "punish" the game by not buying it or leaving negative reviews until you get your way?

>They already got paid to make the product, what's the harm in downloading it for free?
>We've already been paid to make the product, why should we care what our customers think?
Like, let's take a step back here. Yeah, some gamers can be whiny and immature about how they vocalize their criticism and desires for a game, but by speaking so broadly, like their choices were either Epic OR Gamers, it comes across as not caring about your audience. And this entire food cycle is a process, one that requires sustenance in the form of money, which must ultimately come from customers since the only reason a company like Epic gives you money up front is because they expect to make that money back with interest.

>you could invest in in in

I wasn't sure why developers even wanted on EGS but it looks like they PAY developers to just put the game on there? So for developers, it's basically no risk even if the game doesn't sell.

That would be true, if they pre-ordered the game. I'm sorry a non-thinker like you can't comprehend that Patreon is not a video game pre-ordering service.

Plus they're getting a ton of free publicity from this "controversy". Is there a single fucking person here who had heard of this game before the deal? It might not be viable in the long run but they're laughing all the way to the bank atm.

Worst case scenario, they'll just release the game a year later on the steam store for additional gibs and give a fake apology. The tumblr crowd is all about "forgive and forget" so they'll swallow it up.

Is this something even soibois want?

Epic is playing the long game and is trying to recruit as many people into their ecosystem before the Fortnite money runs out. They abandoned the PC market way back, saw that Valve started printing money doing basically nothing, smelled money and came crawling back.

you guys know Wasser is a kike name right? >INB4 i-its german, no he even has a big ass hooknose

The funny thing is, this isn't even inherently a dick move. On paper this is no different than a publisher swooping in to pick up a development studio. If they made their announcement and closed their Patreon, this would all be above board and dandy.

But because they had to be dicks about it, now everyone thinks they're jerks, and that will negatively effect their sales compared to if they'd just said "Hey, these guys can better fund us, so we're cut a deal; thanks for your support, we'll work something out for those of you who've been funding us for so long."

The customer isn't always right but this is customer service gone disastrously wrong.

considering how many games aimed at them seem to barely make money I'd say that they don't actually want games. stories and experiences maybe, but those take more work to produce.

Kek. Epic will seething today. They're trying to improve their PR by donating to the Blender foundation and indie devs to dilute the big bad corp image. This autistic snarky faggot is pissing all over that.

Epic is bleeding money at a heart stopping rate. Just go read up how much they paid out in prize money for their Fortnite tourney, on top of these exclusivity contracts (which are rumored to be 1mil at least, more depending on the game)

Their strategy is to aggressive put Steam out of business before they run out of money.

Rest assured, they won't be giving handouts to developers once they become the new monopoly.

I have absolutely no idea who this is or what game they are talking about, but am I to understand Epic is paying these guys regardless of whether the game sells or not? Do they not see a flaw in this?

At least it will be interesting to see how this all turns out.

It sounds like Epic is promising them a small payout regardless of if the game sells anything. From the point of view of Epic it's just a cash bounty to wrangle in as much "talent" as they can in the hopes that a few of them pay enough dividends to cover the failures. And as for the flops, they can just ignore them afterwards.

Fuck, I was looking forward to Ooblets but I'm not going to support these assholes.

Isn't steam one of the world's most profitable businesses on a revenue vs. employee ratio? Sounds kinda hard.

I don't usually blame the developer when it comes to these EGS deals since as much as I hate it you'd have to be kinda retarded to turn down a massive check like that if you're some no-name indie dev. That said everything I've read about these guys makes them come off as pompous assholes that realized they no longer need to pretend to care about their fans so they're throwing them under the bus now. I hope for their sake the EGS money doesn't run out fast because the way they treat everyone makes me doubt they'll be receiving any more money for quite a while.

But for people who don't have to answer to anyone they sure are spending a LOT of time answering to people to tell them they don't have to answer to them

Considering they're basically blowing any chance of getting funding ever again, from Epic or anyone else, you'd think they'd try doing something a little more out there and ambitious

Apparently the guy has been arguing in the discord for over 10 hours with random people.

>um sweetie you aren't entitled to my game just because you paid money for it

They're handling this thing pretty short-sighted.
At the end of the day they've only got the equivalent of a quick splooge which will eventually subside and since they've burned bridges with most of their fanbase, any future projects will be an uphill battle monetarily if their first game doesn't stick.
They could've literally just stuck to a neutral message and gone silent until the storm blew over instead of pissing off their fanbase.

What does it matter if they already got paid their million?

Hit me

Real stores have proven to not work nor get you variety or price/quality competition. This is why we should just boycott stores and only buy at Wal-Mart where everything we possibly need is. The same holds true for other types of stores, from ISP/TV services to clothing stores. Why make shopping difficult when we only need one huge store that has everything?

im glad EGS exists because it make it even easier to know which indies to ignore

Fags like him are the reason why I want the industry and everything overall to collapse.

Epic isn't funding them out of charity for their artistic impulses.

Epic is funding them with the expectation that their product will turn a profit that will offset Epic's buy-in price. This is literally Capitalism 101, though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised someone from Seattle doesn't understand how Capitalism works.

I swear it's impressive how closed off the EGS is but since it caters to the majority people seem to think it's perfectly okay. Even beyond all the regular issues people have with it the way it treats anybody that isn't a Windows user in the three or four biggest countries in the world is so shitty.

Don't kid yourself, you're just seeking outrage to sate your addiction to fighting everyone on the internet

I mean that's a good thing right here. This basically guarantees that the game will sell poorly and after that, Epic won't want to pay them again and normal customers couldn't give less fucks, so this is the quickest way to get greedy devs that care more about money than their actual game out of the market that's also why 90% of indie games pre-kickstarter had much more passion in them than nowadays

Kek good catch, wonder what else accidentally slipped in from the CCP world domonation and genocide plans.

I can understand them wanting to start small scale, because making a store for others to post content is a big job, but they keep insulting the people who want anything they don't already have. It's fucking weird just how consistently the EGS and devs on it jump at the opportunity to insult anyone for liking anything they don't. I hope they run out of money so everyone can abandon them, that Chinese pay check is all that's keeping them afloat at this point.

>I hope the payment was good enough to tide over the next decades.

Epic funded this one game. If it doesn't sell, they won't fund the next one and they already burned every other bridge

Imagine someone in literally any other field saying this shit. Video game designers really are the most pretentious people on the planet.

Explain what? Look at what is going on without the narrative, you will realize it yourself

I imagine a good amount of people who are into this kind of obnoxious twat artstyle and tone are also into this kind of obnoxious twat way of speaking and acting.

So it's basically the equivalent of making a game filled with /pol/ imagery while railing on social media about SJWs or whatever. It closes a lot of doors for you and makes a big uproar but there's a not-insignificant amount of people who will signal boost you just for having the "courage" to speak your unpopular beliefs.

Depending on how shit your game is you may actually get more people who will buy it JUST because you stuck it to the toxic gamers/SJWs/insert boogeyman here than would have bought it otherwise.

Is the age of Steam over?

It does matter, actually. Quite a bit.

This isn't a gift. EGS isn't some noble patronizing the arts as a gesture of magnanimity. They are funding a game they believe has profit potential, with the expectation that what they have sown today will reap exponential rewards in the future.

The game's completion is assured, but if it does not turn a profit, they will not make the mistake of funding the same developers indefinitely. Whatever amount of money they've paid for EGS exclusivity, I promise you it isn't enough for the devs to just retire on for the rest of their lives. This is an investment, and they expect a return.

This is economics 101.
