>“EGS doesn’t have as many features as other stores”
>As a user of both Steam and EGS myself, I haven’t had any issues with using EGS to buy and play games personally. But regarding the features that are still missing, that’s just sorta the way software is developed. Things take a lot longer to develop properly than people tend to realize and nobody comes to market with perfect software.
>I remember waaay back when I plopped the disc for Half Life 2 into my PC for the first time and was forced to install this new thing called Steam. It was a barely-functional mess back then, as anyone who used it from that time period can tell you. It’s had like 15 years to improve. If it wasn’t worthwhile to improve, it wouldn’t have been and you wouldn’t still be using it.
NOOOOOO, STEAM WAS PERFECT AND EVERYONE LOVED IT BACK THEN FUCK EPIC FUUUCK EPIC IT'LL NEVER IMPROVE LIKE STEAM DID REEEE -Average Valve drone
Nothing important happened in 1989. Fuck valve jews

It was a barely-functional mess back then, as anyone who used it from that time period can tell you. It’s had like 15 years to improve. This is such a retarded argument. Steam was the first of it's kind and sets the today's standards and these standards have changed. Epic aren't developing anything on their own, they're expected to simply copy other storefronts. And why am I even supposed to give a shit about their excuse in the first place?
It's like, I dunno, I created a phone manufacturing company and I sold phones with 2004-tier technology and when people called me out I'd defend myself saying that "all these other companies had 15 years to improve!"
Carson Sanchez
You should say more, for example how this matters for the customer when it doesn't mean lower prices, you braindead retard.
Jack Foster
I don't give a fuck about the well being of developers though? I'm a consumer.
Austin Brooks
>It was a barely-functional mess back then It seemed to work just fine back then
Easton Price
Didn´t that dev said he was in favor of putting gamers in gas chambers recently?
more money to the developer (and guaranteed money in the case of exclusives) is always better for the consumer because the devs can focus on giving you better post-launch content updates or reinvesting to improve their next games! what's good for the developer is often also good for the consumer
Luis Flores
I'd rather Valve get 30% if that means quality of life is maintained such as steam updates, steam sales, servers, etc. Epics store has nothing that steam has and will take longer to do so because of a lower take in.
Jacob Peterson
Show me one game that's exclusive on EGS with good post launch content. Just one.
Dominic Richardson
So what? Discord takes 10% of every sale
Camden Johnson
epic take 12% of every sale itch.io take 0% of every sale Game Jolt take 0% of every sale
nuff said
Brayden Phillips
>epic take 12% of every sale Same with GOG fuck your CCP spyware
Grayson Anderson
Shouldn't we compare steam to EGS of 15 years ago aswell by this logic?
Brody Brown
Yes, because post-launch content updates became so much better when games went from 55-60% revenue cuts for physical stores to 30% for digital. Oh wait, game expansions are dead and instead we get piece meal DLC that sometimes total into several hundreds of dollars.
Money milking practices have only gotten worse since the first large boost in revenue and it's not going to be different this time somehow. Stop being naive.
At the end of the day PCfags will come around and get EPIC launcher, unlike other industries gamers are weak fat and pathetic
You niggers bought Anthem and Fallout 76 for fucks sake do you seriously think devs don’t see this
Justin Jenkins
>all these entitled toxic manchild baby gamers itt Yikes!
Oliver Foster
I hated steam when it came with its ugly UI and endless loading, but it had more features than EGS.
Christian Harris
>I'd rather Valve get 30% if that means quality of life is maintained lol I remember when xbots used to meme how they liked the Xbox because it was a better "eco system" and I thought what a bunch of buzzword bs. and now worse. it's the most pathetic case of fanboyism imaginable, steamfags are having a mental breakdown over their right to shit post because of muh user reviews and muh forums.

Julian Nelson
irrelevant for the customers irrelevant for the devs who adjust their price on their needs to begin with. If you count your profits before the rest, you are a greedy jew with no understanding of sales to begin with
>not putting your game on steam, gog, epic, and the dozen of other key sellers at the same time imagine being so bad at making money.
Sebastian Lee
Why do people keep bringing that "features" bullshit? Who gives a fuck about curator lists or profiles or whatever? EGS is a piece of shit because it doesn't have my 500+ steam games.
Ryder Allen
>better post-launch content updates How about doing that before launch
>imagine being so bad at making money. image not wanting your game to be devalued to pennies.
Benjamin Peterson
>[Paraphrased] Epic's guarantee for minimum sales means we won't have to worry about money, and will allow us the time and resources to make the game as best as it can be. >There’s no extra cost to use EGS. The store and launcher just require a free signup. It’s not like having to pay for HBO and Netflix and Hulu to watch all the shows you want. You still get the game, one which will be better as a result of minimum sale guarantee. All you have to do, is buy it from a different store. This does not force you to from now on buy all future games from the EGS.
Stop fucking reeeing.
John Jackson
you are sickening
off yourself you beta shill faggot
Noah Garcia
Epic games is a far bigger company than valve was back then and has the benefit of being able to learn from what valve, gog and the publisher specific launchers have done
If they want to compete with steam now they have to be good now not 10 years in the future
Andrew King
>This does not force you to from now on buy all future games from the EGS. No real person is actually going Reeeeeee muh Steam though I like GoG, I put up with Origin. Being forced to install Chinese spyware on my computer is the problem.
Nathan Wright
cope, dilate and join the 40% steamtranny
Jonathan Morgan
>more money to the developer >you are sickening
lol you steamfags are literally.... fags, you guys get a sexual gratification out of sucking gabe's flaccid dick instead of giving money to the people that WORK TO MAKE GAMES.
epic is the new standard. the real man's store of choice.
There is no solid evidence that the EGS is spyware. That said, I am certain they will most likely using and selling your data, but if you have a Google, Facebook, of Amazon account, that's already happening to you.
Jeremiah Garcia
ORIGIN WILL MEAN BETTER GAMES BECAUSE MORE MONEY TO THE DEVELOPER >Dragon Age Inquisition >Mass Effect Andromeda >SimCity Online >the only good franchise Titanfall gets cancelled
Owen Miller

Justin Hughes
I trust companies based in an ally of my country more than the government of the largest geopolitical threat to it.
Hudson Martinez
I reluctantly used Origin and uPlay for like an exclusive or two and already stopped using them, I fucking despise splitting up my game library. I like having everything in one place. If devs don't like it they can suck it, I'll pirate everything so I can keep it in one place instead. I reluctantly use Steam in the first place, fuck if I'm going to move to something else just became some other faggot wants more PC money.
Luis Moore
I unironically would trust those three combined before I trust Tencent.
Daniel Martinez
Because people like that stuff. Click any community tab on a game and you will find chat rooms, screenshots, streams, videos, mods, reviews, forums, guides, official news, etc etc etc. A random "funny" screenshot can have 400+ likes and a hundred comments.
For millions of users steam is a social network that also sells games.
Nolan Thomas
why doesnt it have any features then
Jaxon Thomas
So do you avoid everything that collects your data? Use a VPN on every device? Only pay for shit at stores with cash? I'm not glad my shit is getting tracked, but don't pretend you actually give shit unless you're doing the above.
