Pea brained idiot, China isn't interested in you they're just making themselves as big and bad as America thinks it is. America's not the only one allowed to be a competent, threatening nation.

>Epic Games gives a bigger cut to the developers

As someone who isn't a games developer and just buys the games, I find this extremely based and worth having less sales and discounts for.

The game will sell on Social Club from the day of release in addition to Steam, Microsoft Store, and EGS in decreasing order of likelihood.

Rockstar would use their own launcher sooner than they'd go epic exclusive. Their games are popular enough that they don't need Tim's artificial sales boost.

>being this gullible

Rockstar Games, which is different from Rockstar Studios, is the one that publishes RDR games. Not Take-Two. The chances of it being an Epic exclusive are practically non-existent. Even though Rockstar is a subsidiary of Take-Two (who is also a publisher), they don't control their every move. If you remember the shit about GTA 5 and modding from a few years ago, you'll understand. That was Take-Two and Rockstar butting heads.

dumb chink

Pretty sure companies are simply making the decision between consumer-reputation-suicide and guaranteed-failure-prevention. In the end, it's the publisher's decision. If they feel the game is risky, they might rather take the money even knowing the stigma that comes with it. All of these publishers know Epic is like poison their brand name. They've known since the first month Epic came out. It's a calculated risk.

There's no such thing as steam exclusive, turdbag.

Timmy couldn't afford it, he could only get Borderlands for 6 months.

Chances of RDR2 and the inevitable GTA 6 being on some separate Rockstar Club platform is more likely. Those fucks love money more than anything and I bet every sale on Steam pisses Take-Two off.

So what happened. I saw that video of the devs saying gamers should be in gas chambers. What's the respond on it so far? They will probably say it's fake like the sceenshot right.

OK. maybe this time it'll get through your gamer. Steam is not exclusive you dumbfuck

no, and they've not updated their launcher in months

What makes you say it was exclusivity? All I see is “Valve paid them an advance to release the game via Steam”. I don’t see any bit there about “and also cancel all planned releases on other platforms”.

Do you really have to ask?

Some user said he recorded the discord server after he got banned. It recorded the devs posting the comment then deleting it right after. If it's fake then it's a pretty good one.

This is Rockstar/TakeTwo we're talking about, if there's going to be any exclusivity it's going to be Rockstar Games Social Club exclusive with absolutely no middle man to take a cut. You're naive if you think Rockstar aren't bigger jews than Sweeney.

I can’t find a source on that. Darwinia devs stopped selling the game through their own website and started selling it through Steam in 2005, but I can’t find any source saying Valve made a deal that demanded they do it in exchange for money.

What competitor? The game stayed available in retail boxes. Putting the game on Steam instead of your own website means you, as a game developer, don’t have to take financial responsibility for processing credit card payments.

But i guess you had to be over age of 25 to remember any of that, not that anyone cared about that at the time. We weren't as entitled as you zoomers are right now

Lets just say it was.
This means EGS will need 14 years to get where Steam is now but only if they dedicate as much work to it as Valve has.

>how dare you remember that valve was doing third party exclusives games, you're obsessed!

>Devs outright say it wasnt exclusive and hard to get on Steam
>BUT STEAM EXCLUSIVE! STEAM DID THIS IN 2005 THAT MAKES IT OK FOR EPIC TO DO THIS IN 2019!
Let's look at it in this way. If what steam did in 2005 bothers you this much now, why are you ok with what epic is doing now? What is that, if not hypocrisy?

People still mad at epic? Lads it doesn't even matter anymore.

Valve doesn't give a fuck, Tim stopped trying to smear Steam months ago, and the only ones still talking about it are journos and devs farming you idiots for free marketing. It's just another launcher at this point.

Why? I can still buy it on Social Club, brainlet epic shill.

Who said i wasn't okay with exclusivity? As long as it's not hardware exclusivity i couldn't care less, every time some retard is saying "valve never did exclusive deals" i'm just getting triggered cuz it's a lie.

with no survivors?

Then why did the söyboys developing Ooblets sign an exclusivity deal with them?

MUH

You people can't be this retarded so this must be bait. The only Steam exclusives are Valve's own game of which they don't even make anymore. Unless you count Dots trash spin offs

>valve did exclusivity deals!
Something you are yet to prove, retard. Nowhere in your source does it say the devs were paid to sell exclusively on steam, because physicals sold were without steam and not just steam launcher installers with a key in them. In fact, dev official statements mention how hard it was for them to get on steam in the first place, and how it wasnt exclusive
Do try to be less of a retard

Wing bang ching chong chang

>They're talking about how darwinia+ was so hard for them to get on steam,

You do realize a publisher doesn't HAVE to be Epic exclusive in order to sell on their store, right? If Rockstar/Take 2 is confident the game can sell like crazy without Epic's help (I don't doubt it) then they can just release it on every digital distribution platform at the same time and simply not take Epic's "we'll match your sales for the first 100K" or whatever the schtick is.

EGS doesn't even have a fucking shopping cart. WHEN rdr2 hits PC, which I will buy again. How the fuck can they sell the gold bars and milk it without a good damn functional store? You can buy keys, unlocks, crates, etc. Through steam cart, or the game itself. And all of that a side, doesn't even matter cause we all know that just like GTAV.

what's inside your head is what you think. and their government is filling their head with horseshit and lies.

rockstar has their own launcher and they are going to pump microtransactions out the ass for this game, it's going to be on everything because they're making their money off MTs

Their social credit system also works in a way where if someone commits wrongthink, everyone they're associated with will also take a hit. That way the other chinks will report him sooner and ostracize him from civilized society on their own.
You don't need a strong standing army oppressing everyone all the time when you make the entire populace the gestabpo.

Thank god.

It's alluding to the fact that Epic shills are all underage. Monday to Friday are school days for underage shitters, after all.

imagine believing someone shilling games is incompetant enough for either of those two things to matter

I knew some stuff about the social credit system but nothing like what user posted above about discouraging people from helping others, Jesus Christ

sensible

You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. The EGS is being suited up to be on par with the next gen consoles (for exclusivity). It's going to give the console experience on PC. Rockstar is a good start for them next year.

it's not explicitly stated that it's to discourage helping. but the helper will always be held responsible. that's why people refrain helping one another. even in crisis. remember that earthquake that killed 10,000 chinese. they were reduced to mad max setting.

The amount of money Epic would have to pay to match first year sales would be astronomical
A game that's guaranteed to sell millions doesn't benefit from an exclusivity deal

And even then did you forget that shit is only like six months?

So why are people mad again, they just don’t want to download another game client?

Not steam exclusive

MAH FORUMS AND USER REVIEWS AND SHOPPING CARTS

It was $40 on PS4 when it released. I bought it on PS4 on release and I bought it again on PC on release. I did pirate it first on PC to make sure it runs well and I'm happy to say it does. Worth it for what is probably my favorite tetris experience. Only thing more I'd want out of it is for it to be portable.

China has had a lot of uprisings and civil wars in the past and as previously mentioned in the thread, that can't realistically happen anymore because of how the populace has been socially conditioned to not be united anymore.
The only real way to stop them now is to either wait until they choke on their own communistic bile like the USSR did or start WW3.

Why are you spreading lies ? Are you mentally ill ? Steam drone are you mentally ill ?

Do you mean we're going to see China getting fucked in a decade?

I don't recall Perfect World ever trying to destroy the open PC platform.

non-pirating kiddies are just starting to realize that the entire concept of "digital ownership" or whatever is non-existent
the concept of steam not being the sole PC distribution platform seriously bugs their minds that much

That's not capitalism at all. That's the govermentment influencing the market in hope to gain massive growth out of it.

Capitalism simply means that private ownership exists and that you are allowed to sell things that belong to you for profit.

The thing people call "CAPITALISM" is a thing called "Free Market Economy" which is a system that doesn't even exist anymore outside of special restricted zones like Hong Kong. In that system the government does nothing and lets the market decide everything on its own with zero interference.

But that system can only work in very small areas because the potential for abuse is far too great otherwise - Which is the reason why pretty much every country in the world abolished it. Nowadays most countries use a mix of that system called social market economy which basicly means that the market can do whatever it wants unless someone weak gets hurt as the result - in that case the government steps in and tries to make things fair again. Even the USA are doing that nowadays and the USA were like the last major country to get rid of the true free market economy system.

Back in the days countries got fucked by single individuels like Rockefeller who abused the free economy in order to take control over the whole thing.
Nowadays things get fucked up by corrupt politicians or their stupid decisions which are usually the result of their short-term thinking.

When all of these are fulfilled, you have a monopoly. How. Many. Does. Steam. Have?

Who cares, the game is dogshit regardless of the platform.

steam is just an open platform where any retard with $100 can put their game on
they are the most proconsumer and prodeveloper based platform on the market
epic cherrypicks developers to feature on their store and only buys out successful studios to gain exclusive rights and fuck over the consumers choice of platform

ching chang chung

Not him but a monopoly is not necessarily a company with the biggest market share, and you can only bend the definition a little if the market share is so overwhelming that no other competitor matters, which is not the case for Steam because there are sites such as GOG and the many attempts of other companies to make their own digital distribution platform
A monopoly is a single company that has the entirety of the market share and has no competition of any kind, it basically dictates things in areas where it is eligible, such as prices. These companies have no pressure to improve because people have no other choice but to use their products, except abstaining. Valve is constantly trying to improve Steam because it has become their main source of revenue, but as a result they have become lazy and do not really develop things much anymore, a thing that has been contributed to by their anarchic company structure and the promise that VR will possibly be the future, and they are attempting to establish a strong foothold in that domain, which is why more than half of their company's employees are working on VR.

fuck off chink, you are the scum of the earth. no one is as disgusting as you are, not even muslims. yes there i said it!

>>Full control over supply
that alone disqualifies steam from monopoly

#2 and #5. Idiots just have a really hard time understanding that simply being the best is different from being a monopoly. Monopolies are illegal in the United States. Every day, there is a judge somewhere busting up some anti-consumer faggots in suits that are trying to corner a market. There is nothing stopping anyone from overthrowing Steam except their own inability to bring a superior product to the table.

even if, no one gives in yet, so sooner or later they are gonna no longer invest in all these AAA companies games. fuck the chinks.

It still amazes me how many people here don't understand the difference between a publisher choosing to only sale stuff on Steam, and Steam paying a publisher to only sell stuff on Steam. It's really not that complicated.

Steam is a much better launcher/storefront than EGS. The hatred for it is a bit overblown though. I honestly think people have been conditioned to accept Steam that even if EGS was actually good (which it isn't), people would still bitch.

Consumer loyalty is a hell of a drug. Anyway GoG is better than both Steam and EGS, but has no games.

Spotted the Sony fanboy.

The interesting thing is that publishers don't want to put games on Epic. Or they are not allowed? There is something going on behind the scenes. Very few games are on both Epic and Steam when there's no reason for them not to be on Epic. The whole thing is suspicious. I wish I knew which side was rejecting the other.

There's thousands of games only available on steam and not on any other store

They are not bound to an exclusive contract per se ,but that still makes them exclusives

Who can blame them when you see other stores refusing actual good games on their storefront because MUH CURATED STORE , I'm looking at you gog and epic

>steam exclusive
>that isn’t a valve game
where?

The hatred of EGS has always been about their 'exclusivity' practices. They may get bullied for other shit in passing, but PC gamers are rabidly against that exclusive shit on PC. We're not like console gamers that have already been conditioned to just take it up the ass, going as far as to praise a console for having the most exclusives.

>inb4 someone replies with the same dumb-shit response implying Steam has exclusives because they can't grasp what it means to be an exclusive

I find that hard to believe when she's incredibly ugly.

it's not but gotta chill for chinks

They had a few when the store first launched 15 years ago. But Steam has publicly denounced the practice of using exclusives long before Epic showed up. Their policy is very clear on this.

>Full control over supply
no
>No close substitutes
no
>Price maker
no
>Firm is itself an industry
hahaha, no
>Barriers to entry
holy shit no

people immediately criticized the game, what are you talking about? in fact the people who actually praised the game to high heaven were always a vocal minority. from the get-go most people were saying that while aspects of the game are impressive the experience overall was very flawed if not an outright letdown. personally I think it's not a bad game, but it is one of rockstar's worst and easily less fun than RDR1. I would be infinitely more excited about 1 coming to PC.

Boomerbrain on the case.

The thing is "exclusivity" is not the same as it is in the console market or streaming sevices. Downloading and installing the EGS only takes a few minutes. It's not like you have to spend money getting a service or console you don't want for one game.

Really all this is just PCfags complaining about a minor inconvenience. And fuck off, Steam has had unofficial exclusivity for years due to their role as the market leader. I've never used Steam personally because I thought it was a great service. I always used because I had to. I'd buy most of my games on GoG if I could.

They probably have exclusivity deal with microsoft. I wonder how much Gabe paid to them for Halo?

Man Steam is such a crazy monopoly. I can't believe all of the triple AAA titles on PC only release there. Oh wait.

I can't believe three of the biggest PC titles this past decade released there. Oh wait.

It's even worse than console exclusivity. With a console exclusive, you still have the disc. With a digitally bought PC exclusive, you are from the moment of purchase on tied to that store and the whims of the owners. While not perfect in any way, Steam has an excellent track record. Epic is full of anti-consumer practices, putting the publishers above the customers. It's perfectly reasonable to avoid this like the plague.

>games are more expensive on Epic
Not true
>the Epic launcher is objectively shit, with a terrible library UI
True
>hurr the exclusivity doesn't mean anything
The point is it's a minor issue that PC fags are acting like it's the end of the world over.

Ultimately it comes down to consumer loyalty, people like steam and don't want to use what they see as an inferior product, but the point stands that the EGS isn't making it so if you bought a PC you can't play the games you want like console exclusivity does.

>Not true
Maybe not for you, but it is for me

I don't think of these shills and retards realize what walmart does when they pop in a little town with little competition. they fucking triangulate and build multiple walmarts all over at a loss to systematically choke the rest of the native competition then when everyone else but the most established are dead, they close down all the other walmarts until one is left to reign over the location.

look me in the fucking eye and god damn tell me this isn't what epic is doing right now with it's exclusives? gog is getting hit by it as well with over a dozen games already not releasing there because of the egs which is also bad for the buyers because that means bye bye to drm-free games.

Why settle for an inferior product? Buying exclusives from an inferior launcher means that you are okay with having inferior launcher, and soon inferiority would be the norm. I prefer that games be purchase on any platform and that each platform could give me different benefits on top of that game. Then the platforms can continue to improve their services and possibly even prices to give an edge out of their competitors, giving us more benefits in the long run.

Since when does Valve set the prices, are you retarded?

I don't think it works the same way for digital products. Overhead costs are not the same and Valve and GoG are much larger than a mom and pop store, they can suffer massive cutbacks and survive.
Furthermore, they are services, not stores. You do not own the games you purchase there, you cannot simply leave them behind and keep the games, users must stay on the service.

>you cannot simply leave them behind and keep the games
Excuse you? How can you not do that with GOG?

Anyone remember the name or have a link?

>They are not bound to an exclusive contract per se ,but that still makes them exclusives
No it does not

My bad, I meant to refer to Steam in that paragraph, GoG just came along somehow.
Still though, unless users upload the games on a private cloud they will be using GoG to get the games on a new computer or reinstallations.

I'm from australia and Games on EGS seem to be the same as Steam and GoG.

I agree that if you think EGS is shit, than you have every right not to buy for them, vote with your wallet and send a message to devs. I'm just sick of the huge backlash to what's a minor issue imo and I think comparing it to console exclusivity is laughable. I think Steam is fine, GoG is better and EGS is worse than either. But it's functional and not unusable garbage like U Play, Origin and GFWL, so I don't mind using it for the odd game I need too. Used it for the Outer Wilds and will probably use it for the Outer Worlds. Other than that, there's nothing I actually want on it.

Personally I think Steam was garbage for years, but I was forced to use it and am still forced to use it over GoG, which is my preferred platform.

I was being hyperbolic but you're actually right. in the same way epic supporters say "it's just another launcher" that sort of logic applies to everyone else even steam. if these are all just another launcher then that means none of these are actually competing with each other let alone eating up their userbases, it just means they're sharing customer bases. and that right there is the big miss all of the MUH COMPETITION people are missing.

Steam has and never will compete with epic. because who cares if one of their users installs the EGS? that nigga is still in the market. what steam has been competing with since are two simple things:
Piracy
Accessibility

a person installing the EGS or any other storefront is still in the ecosystem
a pirate or new emerging market tapped is a completely new set of wallets inserted into the ecosystem

Steam wants to keep expanding the PC game market. and hilariously enough, that benefits all their competition as well

BECAUSE ANGLOSPHERE
If you ain't you fucked, Israel has also "normal" prices despise being no where near anglosphere.

>I'm from australia and Games on EGS seem to be the same as Steam and GoG.
But that's wrong. Every single game that is on all the stores is more expensive on EGS. Some of them only by a few dollars, but that still means they're more expensive

The biggest reason for the huge backlash was that they are throwing money around to games that were already coming out to better platforms instead of fixing and upgrading their platforms. They even got a few games from GOG, and that sets a precedent for other unusable garbage launchers to pop out and claim exclusivity when you could be using better launchers instead.

not everyone lives under a mud shack and can afford their games

Governments used to break up monopolies
Post-reagan this doesn't happen anymore outside of harder demsoc ranting
In my state of Wisconsin, for example, we had a pretty decent "free market" when it came to gas stations. There was almost always three or four gas stations in every small town, locally-owned and independent. And dozens and dozens in cities.
A company called Standard Oil came in and started buying up every single one of these. When a person refused to sell, they'd set up gas stations around them that'd undercut their prices. They'd be willing to lose some pocket change in the short-run to force the individual business owner to sell so they'd obtain a monopoly in the area. And if that still didn't work they'd firebomb some gas stations.
The US government at a state and federal level saw this happening all across the country and broke up standard oil along with some other massive corps like that. Neoliberalism killed any attempt at having a government that actually regulates/intervenes on the behalf of citizens anymore though
Now it's entirely corporate shills

Rest of the time governments spend enforcing regulation and laws that facilitate harmful monopolies. Monopolies that aren't selling you their products for too cheap, but rather monopolies that are charging you out the arse because they are the only players in the game. Like the healthcare industry. Or because it's literally illegal to compete with them, like the ISPs. Good luck getting the grants to lay your own fiber and compete with them lel. Might be lucky and get one in 20 years.
