Epic chinks try to get another indie game on their store

>now a steam exclusive

>"trash"
>they already offered an exclusivity deal prior to refusal
Come on chinaman, you can do better

Nope
gog.com/game/darq

It's just steambabies who can't handle the heat of actual competition and are afraid that their daddy gayben loses his monopoly now that someone else plays by the market rules.

seethe harder. Maybe your impotent rage will finally stop epic. (it won't)

Epic will never beat steam, nor even affect it in the slightest. Tim must have realized this by now.
The question is now why is he continuing to push other games on fortnite children, potentially breaking his demon grasp on them.

This argument would have some sort of foundation if Epic actually offered something to bring me to it, though.

Your existence mystifies me.....

>4 piss eggs have been credited to your account

As usual, EGS asslickers show up and are the first ones in the thread to bring up Steam when it had absolutely nothing to do with the thread. Every time. Without fail.

You're such an epic lad

How does steam have a monopoly when you can get most of the games somewhere else? Not to mention that GabeN doesn't do exclusivity deals

why's that not right? They can go to steam and gog and whoever else. steam used to do the same exact shit before they gave up and made the only barrier to entry a $100 listing fee.

SEEEEEEETHING CHINKOID honk kong is going to be america's 51st state and theres nothing you pencil dicks can do

Please die in an industrial accident/traffic collision/architectural failure

>actual competition
>Whole strategy is to not compete by gatekeeping
Epic is too afraid to actually compete since they know if a game was sold in all stores they'll come up with the short end of sales.

not an argument

Fortnite is bleeding players continuously, so Tim is trying to makd EGS a real game store before the money well runs dry.

Its just a narrative being pushed loosely on the idea that a monopoly can be built on being the most successful one when in reality a monopoly is the establishment of anti-competitive measures.

FYI, Epic trying to force Steam down to 10% would ruin Valve in costs. That is anti-competitive measures in an attempt to establish a monopoly. HOWEVER, a monopoly is impossible to implement in the PC environment; so its just fruitless in the end.

They do tons behind the scenes, maintaining their server and cloud infrastructure isn't cheap, and that's all in house as far as i know. They have developers working on games, they have developers working on linux and proton, they have engineers working on products like the index and future hardware. They even have people who will go out to studios supporting linux and help with that.

Personally i'm hoping they'll help reach that tipping point where linux becomes a real option for gaming, it's not quite there with the lack of DRM/AC support, but it's getting there.

>oh no no no, he knows I left the name of the game in the image deliberately so that people who see my reverse shill thread will know name of the game and buy it, I'm such a good shill, I'll pretend I'm retarded as well now that'll show em?!

Yeah, it's pretty clear monopolistic behaviour. If you're not with ONLY us, then we don't want you at all.

Every little bit of info is just more and more proof that Epic is a bunch of slimy fucks. It used to just be a matter of preference, but it's getting to the point where you're outright making the wrong decision by throwing your hat in with them. They're showing themselves as willing to do some very bad shit. If they got ANY foothold into the marketplace, forget "breaking steam's monopoly", they will do their best to create a monopoly and fuck you over for it.

>i just don't understand why the consumers don't like us

Valve doesn't give a fuck about any of the other launchers. They're true competition has always been piracy.
If only Tim had realized that fifteen years ago, he probably wouldn't have run crying to consoles.

steam is separate from steam china, whereas epic is 40% chinese owned

As opposed to Tim who works with Tencent the chinkiest of the chink ,has them on their board of directors and has them own more than 40% ,while Valve remains a private company.

Attached: 1554434465825.png (776x498, 88K)

Epic to me is superior purely because it's actually a free launcher. I didn't buy any games, nor plan to, but I can play their free games with friends who also didn't spend any money on it. Unlike Steam, where I can't even fucking friend my friends that haven't spent at least 5$ or whatever.
What's the fucking point of free games on Steam if you can't actually utilize Steam for free.

Look, if Valve is Chinese when they invest in China, are they not also French when they invest in France?

exclusives on any platform are cancer

Why does Yea Forums suddenly care about "tumblr art game that looks like shit and I wouldn't buy it" games like Ooblets anyway? Lashing out like this is usually driven by... fear. A fear of 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?

If you've ever read I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Yea Forums reminds me of the AI who loves to torture and abuse the ones he thinks he has control over, but is instantly worried that he'll lose his play things forever.

That is literally wrong user, really embarrassing. You should read your sources carefully next time

They say they want to compete with steam yet they deny a game that clearly meets their quality standards simply because the devs refused to go exclusive

"Tencent owns at least 40% of Epic" doesn't mean they own EXACTLY 40% of their stock. Last I checked the actual number is somewhere around 48.4% of Epic Games stock, not just 40%. So your claim that Sweeney owns 20% more than Tencent of Epic is false.

"In June 2012, Tencent made a minority investment in Epic Games, purchasing approximately 48.4 percent of outstanding shares of Epic stock, equating to 40 percent of total Epic capital inclusive of both stock and employee stock options," Sweeney said in an emailed statement. "As part of the investment, two Tencent representatives joined Epic's board of directors, in addition to the three directors and two observers appointed by Epic. We're thrilled to have a world-leading partner in Tencent, who gives Epic unique access to the Chinese market as we head into the next chapter of our 21-year history as a leading independent developer."

Dumbass.

Epic does not operate for consumers or devs, they operate only for themselves and are using their Fortnite-bux to try and strongarm their way into the market. The store is bare minimum for a reason, it's not the point.

Also, you guys need to update your chinkfilters just in case they start learning (unlikely). Throw in a Hong Kong Protests 2019 every now and then.

There's literally a limited number of games they can add to the store in a certain period thanks to how ramshackle the infrastructure of the EGS launcher is. Of course they try to mask this as curation like a Resident Evil game would mask the loading screen by door opening animations.

Unironically this. Is it unethical? Sure, but it's Epic's store, and they can refuse to sell whatever they want. It's literally their right.

>Only handpicked elite games get on EGS
Yeah, like "Press X to Jason" or Redditlands 3 right?

They can yeah, but that doesn't mean they aren't faggots for doing it.

just like its our right to call them out on being hypocritical liars

>When china dies, Dota dies too based steamtard.
You convinced me, let's nuke China.

>Redditlands cost too much for a time exclusive, it only last for 6 months

Why is 2kgames such a Jew?

of course they have a right to, it just means they're lying
Epic specifically said they're open to non-exclusive deals

To make your shit allegory similar to this situation you wouldn't have to date the girl but rather make her a whore or advertise her services.
But she would want to get involved with as many ad sites as posible instead of a exclusivity contract with your sorry ass.

>be a chad
goddamn it sweeny, this isn't where you post your fantasies

Maybe is more the fact that Epic is running out of money to pay for big exclusive contracts to AAA games. Or that 2k wallet is still butthurt about Randy's last Bada$$ game

I'd imagine they're pretty mad, given all the shitposting in here.

>all these PEOPLE think they can argue with bugs
there's not a level deep enough that they won't go down to in order to keep the argument going and in the end after you see how dumb they are and stop trying, they'll think they won.

Why isn't this faggot perma-banned yet? You get banned for less and he should had been perma-banned for a while now with the amount of platform war he does everyday.

that fake mount and blade looks dope, whats it called

Bans don't matter when you're either using a VPN or you can get up and reset the router. Hell, you don't even need to get up to do that anymore, you can just reset it by accessing the router from your computer.

That's because the retard making DARQ actually think his game is a masterpiece and that's why he thinks Steams sales will bring more money than the deal Epic offered. I suspect that turned out to be a bad idea for him.

chinks own epic and gookmoot

Just because it's somebody's right to do something doesn't mean I have to like that they can do it.

his point is solid, if youre a one and done, epic sounds great, if youre planning on making more games kicking your fans in the dick is retarded

You seem mad Tim.

>muh China
It's not china trying to shut down our imageboards. I'd rather pay China than US.

Being exposed in more than one store probably can give you more benefits than the exclusivity deal, specially considering that they would probably not give It as much money as other exclusives

medium.com/@info_68117/why-i-turned-down-exclusivity-deal-from-the-epic-store-developer-of-darq-7ee834ed0ac7

Nope he's actually a really humble guy.

>really humble guy
Not really, I've read his posts during the development, he legitimately was going on about how this game will be a masterpiece.

If you think that there's not going to be any chaffing between the new bourgeoisie in China and the ruling party then you're delusional.

China as a whole has been creative bankrupt since Mao mindwashing
It's a cancer country

Doesn't sound like it form the blog post. Oh well whatever, That was before, this is now. Him knowing the game won't sell that much on steam but still didn't want to betray his fans on steam gets him respect in my book. And a purchase.

I mean even in your link he's highlighting in BOLD that his game was top 50 wishlisted on steam right at the start of the article. That's not something a really humble guy would do is it.

I've seen some decent chink fanstuff. Anything commercial and I totally agree.

>I didn't accept the epic exclusivity deal and no one has bought my game, please buy it.

Fanstuff might aswell cost you a trip to reducational camp because you deviate from the hive mind

To me its more like highlighting that many people on steam wanted his game.

But thats just stating fact, not to mention it lines up with people saying that Epic just poaches Steams top 100 wishlisted for exclusivity deals which is pretty much confirmed, another scummy asshat thing on top of their other decisions.

Is there any game that is both on steam and epic?

>humble guy
Lmao, this is the guy who in every single interview mentions that he rejected a dozen of publishing deals because he believes his game is so awesome.

I just stumbled on this (fuck you, you go back, /r/ue4 comes up in google when I'm troubleshooting shit)

epic didn't pay this guy. he tells them. they say they did, it's your banks fault. he proves to them his bank didn't do shit, "oh then I guess we'll look into it"

but the real doozy. he gets an email saying someone logged into his account. he panics thinking hes been hacked. turns out an epic employee just decided to log into his account and make some changes to his page. because apparently that's cool with epic. don't contact the person and tell them they need to change something, no, just lookup their account deets and let yourself in.

you're right
we also however can point at the hypocrisy and laugh

so what's the problem, shill?

Because Cyberpunk is the biggest upcoming release and they can't afford to turn them down after they refused an exclusivity deal.

>considering how long they have been in the space Epic is def coming on strong. it's got a ways to go to be the best platform but its come a long way. I gotta be honest when epic came along I was of the school of thought of fuk epic we dont need a new platform, but they honestly push development of games in a super positive way. For that reason I am actually pulling for epic and hope they can grow and add all the features we need and dont have yet.
I can't even, what?

Attached: 1519340213002.png (600x600, 221K)

>its come a long way
Seriously asking, has anything changed other than the number of exclusives?

Steam's had too much dominance to actively be challenged at this point, people aren't going to abandon Steam with however many games are in their library for another launcher.

They doubled their features. Sure they went from one feature to two, but that's doubling it. 100% increase.

Because it would be suicide for Epic's PR if they told AAA devs that they can't launch their games on EGS at all if they refuse to sign the exclusivity deal. That's why they have more leverage with indies whose fears that they may not sell enough copies to make up for the development costs they can exploit by offering to cover them. AAA devs don't need that safety net, and the only AAA devs who have taken that exclusivity deal in exchange for money are doing it solely out of greed rather than need.

>he gets an email saying someone logged into his account. he panics thinking hes been hacked. turns out an epic employee just decided to log into his account and make some changes to his page. because apparently that's cool with epic. don't contact the person and tell them they need to change something, no, just lookup their account deets and let yourself in

Maybe he is underage? Is their money any different from adult money? Why wouldn't he support the launcher that lets him use point cards or whatever alternative works for him?

More features are Coming Soon™

How do you break a monopoly by refusing to sell games on your store?

Honestly I was so annoyed by everyone making false accusations about Epic when this whole shitshow started months ago that I now can't bring myself to care what they do since you faggots have a tendency to lie about it. The Boy Who Cried Wolf principle in action.

>Ya they should pay the developer to put his shitty game on epic AND steam with no benefit to epic themselves!!!!

Its the same situation as liberal sjws and their mass hysteria about trump. Except trump is epic in this case and sjws are 'based' alt righters from Yea Forums.

Yes I read the email. It said epic was willing to pay them in exchange for 1 year exclusivity. Why the fuck should they pay him (or put his game in their store) if it doesnt benefit them?

China will grow larger.

Attached: tim the dog.jpg (800x404, 101K)

Yes, because it's a really high IQ move to reject a game from your store solely because the guy won't make it exclusive to said store. Due to the sheer mess Steam's system discovery system is, chances are that the game would still sell better on Epic even without being an exclusive, so there's literally no excuse for Epic to reject the game solely because they can't have exclusive rights to distribute the game.

>there's literally no excuse for Epic to reject the game
Except there is. They are trying to make a curated store and a shitty indie game that has 100 reviews on steam isn't really that beneficial to the store when they could get something like gta or other AAA games instead.

they added cloud saves, not important at all compared to the steam purging "crossplay integration for all games" that will come soon

The worst part about Epic is that shitposters keep using it as an excuse to act retarded.

>an epic employee just decided to log into his account
This is extremely bad if true. Not only can your account have important and/or private information stored that should be, well, private (email, billing info, etc.) but if people within the company can look up your user and pass that's a gigantic security breach because many people use the same user and/or pass on multiple websites.

And this is what happens once Chang has to go off-script.

Good on the dev for turning down exclusivity if they didn't need it. A lot of small devs can be given a pass for the chinabux since it provides a capital pool they wouldn't otherwise have.

can you read the source you fucking faggot, kill yourself subhuman

Retard. They obviously did think the game was worthy to be on their store since they offered exclusivity money to the dev for it. You're acting like the guy wasn't asked to put the game on EGS at all, when the whole point here is that he was, rejected the exclusivity deal but still wanted it to release on EGS alongside the Steam release. It was only after he rejected the exclusivity deal that Epic decided to 180 and not want the game anymore.

Get some reading comprehension next time, you retard.

no man its a good thing cuz I wouldn't like to see you not be able to post

Is DARQdev getting praise for not taking the offer, or is all the discussion about EGS?
Bad guys always win, nigga.

Seeing how little Chang (you) can't do it I'm not surprised that you think it says something different that what it really does. But keep on going, gotta bump up that social score somehow.

Tims stradegy is to steal as many exclusives from Steam as possible to try force the consumer to use their client. A client so lacking in basic features, it is shocking to me that it hasn't been addressed more promptly yet. Tim claims it is "too much resources right now" to create a basic shopping cart, and features like preloading your games you buy. Amazing.
