EpIc Is GoOd FoR cOmPeTiTiOn

>We'll be happy to have you on our store as long as it's JUST on our store.
You know it's just an excuse.

>I thought Epic was rich but they can only handle a small number of games?
You're mistaking what the entire point of the Epic store is.

EGS is an attempt by the Chinese to create a monopoly in a foreign market. This is very important for the greater CCP economic strategy. tl;dr use population as slave labor to export cheap shit via weak currency, never let that money enter China and instead re-invest it thereby keeping Yuan weak, allowing cycle to continue. Up until now, this has largely revolved around buying up debt (no, this does not mean the CCP can "call in all of [country]'s debt") and real estate (a big problem in Canada), but increasingly so the CCP has been doing this with foreign corporations. Hollywood will, in our lifetimes, be run entirely by the CCP if current trends continue.

The basic gist is that the CCP (through Tencent, the state run media company*) is willing to pay for guaranteed sales, which is effectively a $10 million bribe to put your game on EGS instead of Steam (or GoG, or its own launcher, or any of the numerous smaller launchers). This isn't about profit, it's entirely about creating a new market for Chinese investment.

This is, by the way, going on in far more industries than just videogames.

*Tencent is technically a private corporation, but due to the Cadre System it is effectively a state run monopoly.

Apparently they're gonna be optional on a per game basis and moderated by the devs.

Then they're not reviews

We just had this thread

we've had a few clues so far, but I'm waiting for the shoe to drop about how these devs made a huge mistake in going with egs. They can't possibly be selling many games on that shit. it has an awful reputation.

they likely have a contract where they aren't allowed to talk about that

Attached: egs.jpg (700x700, 44K)

That claim is already out of the window anyway the moment they approached someone first. Clearly their game has been meeting their standards or else they wouldn't have made the offer.

>twitterspeak

>moderated by the devs.
why even add them then

Based EGS putting diva indie devs to their place.

They released the store without a shopping cart

I really wonder how much epic is paying devs. It has to be more than they even sell right? I'm assuming it's all used for attracting customers and not actually profiting off game sales.

Like if I were in a situation where I was scraping by and epic offered me 1 million or I can hope it sells that much, why wouldn't I?

>I'm waiting for the shoe to drop about how these devs made a huge mistake in going with egs
We already know the gaming community hates what Epic Store is doing to the PC community. So developers that sign with them are made aware of the boycotts by former fans.

Is this real life?

The logic here is that Timmy only wants indie games that brings in new customers through exclusivity, or to be part of selling the big titles like Bloodlines 2.

The problem Mr. Tencent will have is that they will need to do this exclusivity bullshit indefinitely because they're too lazy to do anything to set themselves apart. When given the free choice, people will always go to Steam than EGS. "Muh developer cut" is a non-issue for customers

because if you only pay them 2 cents a week there's a lot of profit margin left.

Epic isn't going away that's for sure but soon enough they'll lose enough money to just shut up and sit in the corner with uplay

>moving to Canada when one doesn't like US political trends
Almost everyone who says this never does it.

That's...not really the point here

You would, and that's the thing. Any 'good game'-and I use the term VERY loosely-will break atleast 500k sales on steam, by deals, word of mouth, and may even hit 1 million if its actually good and you pitch in for advertising. If you, the de, have so little faith in your own creation and want to prioritize profits over making a good game, then you would have no reason to not accept the egs exclusivity offer. Its also signalling that your game is truly dogshit

>epic
>adding a shopping cart

lets not go crazy here.

They focussed on leaching off Capitalism.

The entire ideal Liberalism runs off of is that no one actively colludes. That is to say, everyone is out for themselves and themselves alone. The moment people start working together, however, it falls apart because groups working for their mutual benefit will ALWAYS be more efficient and more productive than individuals working on their own. Within Western civilization, this can easily be punished (HINT: "racism") at pretty much every level. The problem is, China is a sovereign country that has managed to become the world's factory and can essentially lock you out of the global economy if you don't play ball.

This is actually a really fucking old phenomenon and it goes back to the pre-Christian Germanics, but that's not important.

to yell at steam "HAHA FAGS WHATS YOUR NEXT EXCUSE?? REVIEWS ARE IN EPIC ALWAYS WINS BAYBAY" and then we try to useless explain why they aren't reviews, and then they claim that we're moving goalposts.

GO ON LAD

No, that's just a fantasy.

THAT EXPLANATION MAKES NO SENSE, TIM.
TIM?

steam doesn't exist, its a Jewish psyop to demoralize based epic gamers.

But remember, China doesn't make any calls about what Epic does.
At all.
Never ever ever.

So in 6 months, the shopping cart will be at 6 months in the road map?

Then how will the Steamworks features work?

Just run the game without opening the launcher you fucking idiot

Why not? That shit running in the backgroud does nothing to improve my enjoyment of the game, the ingame browser crashes my games and why would I need to access the store after I launched the game?

Fucking hell, is there a group more patethic than "consumers" seriously defending EPChink?

>This is going to be Epic!
Holy cringe.

They don't care if the games doesn't sell, the sheere amout of money Epic pays them offsets any loss they could get by a gargantuan margin, Epic themselves make sure of that.

So the devs don't care if it were a mistake, they're swimming in money right now. And later they'll make even more when it hits steam, because consumers are fucking dumb retards without self control and will reward shitty business with loads of cash.

I've never used those.
>Steam needs to be running to launch the game

You have hundreds of things running in the background that do not contribute anything to your game. Why single out Steam?

It's not about what they're selling as much as it is about what Steam WONT be selling.
It's all cold shekel scheme by Chinks

You don't even have to be a console warrior to realize Epic's just not a good choice here. Buy all your games on GoG, fucking pirate them for all I care. Just don't go investing yourself as a consumer into a blatant cash grab by a company who is doing everything short of directly stating that they're making a try at a monopoly.

You've used achievements and Steam Cloud just by virtue of using Steam.

It's a Twitter meme, yes but it's used in the same way exaggerating greentext is.

So funny how you guys get triggered over some faggot and his e-boomer store. Don’t download it and don’t buy his fucking games.

Kek, I have intellij, Photoshop, Google Chrome, Slack, and Linux Subsystem running in the background whenever I play games.

Ah yes, I disabled ingame steam overlay for over a year when I thought it was interfering with my ingame inputs, never missed it once. It actually enabled itself after a reinstall.
Many games don't launch if Steam isn't running.

It's not Steam. Steam uses 0.1% of my CPU on my old PC with a 2012 i7. That's 1/1000 of your CPU. Running Steam in the background would mean if you got 144 fps, you would not get 139.85 fps. Except Steam uses your CPU, not GPU.

I now have a brand new desktop, and it reports Steam as 0%.

Unless by "indieshit" you only mean pretentious games-as-art shit, then no. Indies like Celeste, Hollow Knight, Iconoclasts, pretty mediocre games will have 90%+ user reviews because the standards are low. Asset flips and other games that the dev has no faith in, AAAs, and pretentious garbage that gamers don't like but journos do will be the ones happy about this. The average indie dev trying their hardest will benefit from user reviews to give some information to work off for deciding whether to buy their product even if it's just at 50-70%.

Sweeney should really stop using Twitter, he's just making everything worse for himself and his company because he keeps making such retarded posts.

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange.

>where we can only accommodate a small number of releases

You do know that Epic existed long before Fortnite, right?

My previous phone died after I started using a tablet. It just fucking stopped working. We are dealing with shit we do not fully understand.

>They can't possibly be selling many games on that shit.
They aren't, we know from the Samurai Shodown case how this works, Epic's buyout comes in the form of X "sales" of the game, so they give them 100,000 sales of the game worth of money, and then they claim those as actual sales even though they aren't. So when they say Infinifactory sold 501,435 copies on EGS, what actually happened is Epic bought 500,000 copies worth and the remaining 1,435 copies were the actual sales.
Also I'm pretty sure this is illegal since they're lying about their actual success in order to prop up the appeal of their store and business.

i know ;)

I've seen more serious games on Unity than UE for the past few years.

Fortnite didn't save Epic. Unreal engine is still one of the most widely used game engines out there. What Fortnite did do was create an appetite for greed, which resulted in a hastily built store that's fucking with the PC ecosystem because it has no change of surviving without generating controversy

How is he wrong? Epic hasn't been relevant since before the Wii generation of consoles. Before Fortnite' battle royale mode they were just a has-been and after the success they've put UT and base Fortnite on hold.

Takes relatively little effort to make shiny next gen things.

It's literally been their central business goal since the beginning. Exclusivity is a means to raise the install base, their corner will always be lower rates.

Outrage culture is pathetic

The only controversy is Steamcucks shitting themselves that a new CHAD player has entered the game

Didn't consoles tried that last gen or the one before that?

when will you epic shills learn that the biggest issue is not Epic in itself, but their monopoly attempt

Everyone is fine if the game is allowed to release on any platform they want, but once exclusivity is thrown in to the mix, everyone just lacks an option and has to pick a vastly inferior platform for their games
GOG is the only place I'd give exclusivity, because out of all stores, they actually let you keep what you buy and don't demand the usage of any launchers or always online shit

I'm guessing if they find someone who can work for Epic but who lives in another country, that person takes care of getting them to acquire a citizenship and move out.

Isn't Celeste that Super Meat Boy for trannies? Low effort spikeformers aren't fun. Hollow Knight also reeks of abstract non-platformer overrated to oblivion by grimdark fags. Maybe if the guy mentioned Shovel Knight I'd care to argue, but all these games are indeed trash.

But that makes complete sense. Your phone got jealous and commited suicide.

The only way epic is going to convince people they're the good guys at this point is by pullin something vaguely like GG, pissing people off as much as possible, and then using the mob of people that inevitably end up going too far to paint all of their critics with the same broad-stroke brush.

I like them, don't get me wrong, and those are the top ones, but Salt and Sanctuary has 91%, The Messenger 95%, Dead Cells 95%, Ion Fury 95%, Forager 91%, Moonlighter 80%, Crash N. Sane 94% etc. These are not 9/10 games and standards are lower for indie games. These benefit off reviews much more-so than AAA games which generally get worse reviews and have other ways to market their games that don't rely on grassroots.

They approached him because his game was on the top 50 wishlisted games on Steam. They don't have standards, they're just leeches. And when the devs refused exclusivity, suddenly Epic doesn't want the game on their store anymore.

People do when a game has lots of dlc and on sale time. Which happened during their first sale and people got locked out for buying like 5 games one after another.

>You're not buying 5 things at once unless you're on a store that has good sales and you want to buy enough games to keep you entertained until the next sale rather than buying things at full price in between sales like some kind of stupid retard

epic means video gaming, but the steam drone mind works more like
>steam = pc gaming

We need a reason to call Epic anti-consumer

We already all have access to a vector computing unit. It's present in most computers. It's called a GPU.

Modern GPUs are already generic purpose vector computing units. GPGPU. It's a thing. We already access it by just writing code. Cuda/OpenCL. Again, it's a thing.

I'm trying very hard to imagine a way as to take that statement without making Tim a complete retard, but I can't. Does he mean a vector computing units that is integrated in his language? That's already the case with OpenCL binding. Or that the vector computing unit will be built into the main CPU? That's completely retarded.

Is the Epic shill the same guy who used to shit post about the Resident Evil 2 Remake?

Depends on the scale of the game, but at least a million upfront (Ubisoft got like 10 million for The Division 2, a game that flopped really hard and they clearly expected it to) and a guarantee of covering the cost of up to 500K copies when it does not sell (this is why they say every game has sold "over 500K copies on Epic" every time instead of giving real numbers, those are just the copies that Epic themselves paid for and any minuscule number above that is how many copies it actually sold to the small handful of retards who have used the store), essentially as a sales safety net. In other words, the devs who have taken the deal knew their game wouldn't sell and just opted for free money. Epic and Tencent are hemorrhaging money and not making any back. It is not sustainable because Fortnite is dead and the store will be gone by some time next year.

About one of the defining traits of good software engineers is that breaking some feature because you are working on another one, merely tangential with the first feature for that matter, shouldn't happen. Either EGS' source code is shit or its developers are.

I once tried a bunch of games. Some worked and some didn't. Interestingly, I remember Half-Life 2 being one of the games that could be launched without Steam. A lot of them launched Steam when I tried to launch their .exe files though.

If someone tells you that all Steam games can be launched without Steam running, they're lying. But if someone tells you that all Steam games require Steam to be running, they're also lying.

Yes, you can disable the Steam overlay. It's a global option.

lot of game companies this year are laying off workers left & right. This seems more like an industry problem

Ok? Your post is pretty cringey, but sure.

Shut the fuck up Chink. I use both GOG and Steam, but GOG has nowhere near the library selection as Steam and is therefore not applicable for all releases. I'll never touch Epic.

I want ot FUCK Frieza's mouth

Oh no! I'll have pirate it like the 3 games before it!

No one cares faggot

Maybe they don’t want a bunch of low budget pretentious indie shit clogging up their server. I don’t blame them

praise geraldo

>only 100 games

Man sweeny must sit in Twitter 24/7 waiting for anyone to mention epic store.

I guess you need to be old enough to remember that drama. They added it later on thought

you clearly cared enough to reply dumb epic shill

>Maybe they don’t want a bunch of low budget pretentious indie shit clogging up their server
Is that why they offered the Ooblets' devs money when that game had been pretty under the radar before?

They seemed to want it when they thought nobody else could have it.

>indieshit loving furshit with zero reading comprehension trying to look down on anyone
Your opinion is completely irrelevant indeed, leave.

If you can't pick up obvious social clues, that's your problem (and potentially autism). Not wasting my time on dime a dozen indie shovelware which discussions attract subhumans like bandwagonning soulstards and constitute of fucking nothing with character wanking in between, it doesn't get more damning for a gameplay heavy genre. You faggots will never fool me with another subhuman game again.

>That's on them
>Yes. Blame epic
congrats, you can now see around yourself
People hate devs for betraying the trust of their fans by taking the side of a shitty store because their publishers got some cash out of it
People hate Epic for offering this shit in the first place, because everyone knows that Epic store simply wouldn't have customers if it wasn't for all of their underhanded anticonsumer tricks that they use to avoid sinking

Yeah that's why they tried to get the game exclusive to their store, are you retarded?

Imagine unironically being this guy, just imagine.

Suck on this epic game
*unzips*

But the average customer doesn't care about Epic exc-

steamcommunity.com/app/1004750/discussions/0/1639793837570557803/

That's pretty much a decision by the publisher/developer to allow the game be run without it.
Witcher's devs are anti-drm, all their games can be run without Steam for example but other devs also use features that could make or break their game without Steam active, like Matchmaking, Friend list, Workshop and the list goes on.

>Maybe they don’t want a bunch of low budget pretentious indie shit clogging up their server.
They do, but only if it's exclusive.

>this kills the epic shill

tim fuck off

Stop quoting your own posts you pathetic drone

Underrated as fuck

>I don't like epic store

You're delusion is so cute

Get KyoAni'ed, genetic dead-end.

>Nintendo
Who gives a fuck about that garbage?

>obvious social clues
Your obvious social clues is the contrarian opinions from people here, again, try to make your own opinion instead of parroting whatever people say.
>(and potentially autism)
But considering how hard you are projecting, I can imagine why you are unable to do that.

Gotta feed my (you) addiction. So don't expect them to go away anytime soon.

As long as Tim keeps cucking us we as Gamers need to Rise Up

Got Alan Wake, For Hornor, Mutant, Limbo for free. Thanks Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeny!

So, you hate epic because epic is offering better terms than steam. Fucking capitalism, developers shouldn't have rights to sell their game where i don't want to buy them.

Your poor grammar is pathetic

I hope this is just bait, otherwise you really are stupid.

No one does. But these chinks need to be destroyed.

Yeah but the catch is that you need to install chinese malware on your PC to play those "free" games.

Why does Tim Sneedey feel the need to respond to just anybody on Twitter? It's not like you need to defend your shit further, actions speak louder than words. What a fag.

But user, we already figured that south africa is behind epic games

>genetic dead-end
Facebook-tier insults.

You can't treat a 90% positive rating the same it getting a 9/10 when every review is a flat yes/no.

>EGS said they can't sell on their store
That's vert clearly bullshit. They said "can't" when they obviously meant "won't." There is absolutely nothing that would prevent them from selling a non-exclusive game, otherwise you wouldn't be able to buy Cyberpunk or Division 2 on the EGS. Tim bringing up "hand curation" is fucking meaningless, since he obviously thought the game was good enough to be sold on the EGS, or else he wouldn't have offered an exclusivity deal.

Does the EGS support achievements?

he loves all the seething, being a billionaire and a shitposter, living the live

Because his actions are indefensible enough and his chink masters require him to spread their propaganda to fix it.

no

>epic is offering better terms than steam
>EITHER YOU REREASE ON MY STORE ONRI OR YOU DONT COME HERE!
you cant be serious

Actually Epic has commented on people making fake shit up about Epic, so this is just trying to say the truth
But in the end people don't believe him anyway so it's pointless

Chink shill

Nothing said about Epic have been lies, Tim is the one spreading lies. It is a chink botnet and bitcoin miner owned by the Chinese government. kys.

Imagine defending an underdeveloped store with “The other store isn’t even that advanced, it’ll all easy to implement!”

I could look up the japanese spelling of genetic dead-end, but you'd probably take pride on that, being a closeted tranny anime girl poster and all.

>contrarian opinions from people here
I agree, it is contrarian to wank a mediocre platformer based on fucking art direction.

I don't think Tim Sweeney even knows where Canada is let alone what it's like there if he thinks that's even a remotely valid comparison.

Except they do. They even want to be the sole provider of this specific case of low budget pretentious indie shit.

Stay mad, steamdditor

BTFO HOW WILL HE EVEN RECOVER AFTER THIS

Are you actually retarded? He literally said they can accomodate only a small number of titles. That means they curate and take preference over exclusives and fuck-huge AAAs like Cyberpunk

RENT
FREE

>Willing to extend money to bring their game to EGS
>can't
>th-the game actually wasn't good, we curated it out, y-yeah
Stay classy, Tim.

Is that actual sour grapes from Tim Sweeney here?

He is definitely a brainlet sperg with FAS. Typical chink behavior to take advantage of a mentally incompetent person.

>More pretentious indieshit made by sellout devs
Nah

Every single time, the autogynephilic psychotic tranny never misses a chance to expose itself.

>wan
>because they eat dogs
Heh.

No fucking way it's real

>Death Stranding
imagine the reactions. kek

>gamescom
The absolute level of stooping

They're not the market leader, they are well within their right to do this and this doesn't damage competition. I wish basic economics was taught in schools.

And that small number of titles is now absolutely confirmed to not be selected by quality now but rather whether or not they can enforce exclusivity.

Half of that shit should have been implemented with the launch and a few are already going to be shit as they've already stated how Reviews and Social interactions (forums, friendlist, etc) will be monitored.

>autogynephilic
Funny how you are the one who knows words like this, isn't it?

>and this doesn't damage competition
Go that right

It's almost like mental defectives have spammed their "culture" for several years in a videogame board.

Imagine not having anything better to do than complain about a video game store

So you are, in fact, allowing them to live rent free in your head to have paid them any attention at all and learned their words?

>it is contrarian to wank a mediocre platformer based on fucking art direction.
It's also contrarian to hate a game because of the art direction without having a glimpse of the gameplay, go fucking pirate the game and play it yourself to forge your own opinion for fuck sake, you retarded parrot.

You're a retard. It's selected from both

100% mad

Is Epic still just doing timed exclusives? I rarely buy a game within the first year after release, because I'm usually waiting until a game is less than $5 or at least more than 50% off. So I'm not sure if I should give a shit about some game being on Epic exclusive when it will just end up on Steam right around the time I'd even consider buying it anyway.

Actually, I picked this one up just because I've seen you freaks get terribly upset about being reminded that you're nothing but a psycho who mutilated and pumped himself full of suicide-inducing hormones for a retarded fetish.

I'M

COMING UNDONE

If you're a poorfag you have every reason to care about Epic since they're literally giving games out for free every week
