This is good publicity for him, for sure. And more negative publicity for Epic. Win all around.

But Tim wanted this trash indie game you dumb faggot.

As an exclusive. Aint no one finna fall for that.

Whats his game about though

The game is not even worth pirating.

if you suck epic chinkoid bugman phalus you are literally subhuman to me and worse than hitler. I will never buy your game even if it's the second coming and I will make sure to seed it for 4 years

in the short term, taking the deal
in the long run, especially if you plan to release more titles in the future, probably not selling out to chinks

Already did.

I almost did that with omega labyrinth life but the price put me off.

I think the Chinese tanks may be too busy preparing for war.

The game has 1 hour worth of content. It's like a demo version of an actual game

I bought that game like half out of spite but mostly because I was genuinely curious about it, never played a mystery dungeon before. It's pretty fun, but definitely not worth the price. Would recommend if it goes down to like $30 or $40 though.

i will

Doubt it.
If it's your first game and you're one man armying it, the EGS offer (or equivalent) will almost always be your best bet.

Good goy

It's only good if you only care about the short term cash influx

EGS isn't gonna care about backing your next game unless you accidentally create the next rocket league or some shit and you're gonna have a bad reputation after taking the money, nevermind that it'll probably sale like donkey ass on EGS so you won't be getting a whole lot more after that first paycheck clears.

>It's only good if you only care about the short term cash influx
Depends on how good the short term cash is. If I made a game of questionable quality and had it sold for a guaranteed 100k or so I think I’d be just fine

>It's only good if you only care about the short term cash influx
Exactly.
If you're a OMA and it's your first game, that guaranteed capital injection can be the difference between going back to wagie life or making another game.
My issue is with large corps doing this when they clearly don't need that same stability, but are clearly doing at their investors behest.
>EGS isn't gonna care about backing your next game unless you accidentally create the next rocket league or some shit
You unironically comparing DARQ to Rocket League?

I'm saying they'll back whatever they want right now, but they aren't coming back UNLESS you got some rocket league-ass sales numbers.

What does that matter if they inject a huge lump sum into your wallet? You can use that money to make a better game that gets put on all platforms

Sure you can. Gifting people is pretty easy.

Fuck Epic. Sweeney can suck on my chode.

actually i'm happy, shit games like this one belong to steam

It's not even the fact that it's a poor decision that annoys me, it's rhat because it's a decision some people liked, others have to ruin it in every possible. Nothing is ever good enough, or good at all.

While I approve the attitude, the game doesn't seem to be my taste. To be fair however they will get a boost of popularity without the bad rep from the deal, so that's a plus for them.

Steam never did freebies, if a game was free on steam it was because publisher/developer wanted to give it out for free. Epic on the other hand is providing us free games each weak from their own pocket, that's the most pro-consumer thing you can do. Pretty based

Yeah, but then you deserve to die on the streets like the dumb nigger you are. I 'm not going to waste money on an indie game.

You don't, only steam drones are ill in the head

Aside from the privacy breaches and the subpar launcher that you're forced to use? Sometimes your 'free' games will randomly disapear from your account and Epics only response has been "well, you didn't buy it anyway. So its fine."

Attached: 1558780749060.png (421x594, 336K)

Nobody asked you to do anything user. However Epic is pushing a developer-first policy that is pretty bad for the PC scene. If you don't care about that then nothing to be done. You shouldn't use Epic freebies as an argument however, since they said their only purpose is to help building a playerbase. In fact they are only going to keep doing until the end of the year because the first months didn't create the effect they expected.

Exactly, Epic shows a clear adoration for customers, but people try their best to meme them into the badguys. Paid Steam shills, my guess.

You're on the wrong board if you think that anyone here actually cares what you do, user.

But then you have to deal with the reputation of having pulled your previous game from steam a few days after announcing the release date for it on said platform. Shit's already pretty tense with Epic deals.

Good PR can go a long way, look at CDPR. A lot of people are sucking their dick and I'd say they have good reasons to. No pre-order bullshit, goodies for the normal physical version that rival the deluxe editions for other games, not 10 different launch versions that need a table of contents for you to decide what you want to buy etc. That's pretty pro-consumer. There's no way they would have sold so many pre-orders (percentage wise) on their own store front if people weren't actively trying to give them more money precisely because of their pro-consumer stance.

>Exactly, Epic shows a clear adoration for customers
user... You can't get your own family to care about you, never mind a billion dollar company.

Unlike you though, I get money for my opinion here, fuckstick.

From the reviews they say it's a pretty good puzzle horror game but it's short for its price. So yeah, basically that.

Stop being pathetic, it's a rare bug , all the free games are counted as a bought unit when you open your bank history

You are being disingenous. I paid 0$ on Left for Dead. Portal was also free. Valve gave their games free several times.
Epic free games are only to build an userbase. They already said they will stop: first a month, now the end of the year. They will only keep doing if they still fail to build an userbase to rival Steam.

Good for him; ruining your studio's credibility is suicide.

Also, why didn't Epic have space for his game without the deal? There's a spot for it if he take the deal, but suddenly not enough space if you don't?

Their own games that costed them nothing? Well, thanks gabe. What a generous man.
Meanwhile epic provided us games that are worth a few hundred bucks. Maybe, just maybe gaben could do the same for steam customers? Or maybe he doesn't give a single fuck about customers?

Because Epic wants to hurt Steam, not really improve the gaming scene. That "I want a multi-store future where people can adquire games in other places" is bullshit.

Youre shilling to hard for a company that couldnt give less of a shit about you. So many arguments made against Steam can made against Epic even more. Epic is just a terrible storefront not even on the same level of Origin. You would have to be either brain dead or a paid shill to actually support Epic.

It's not generosity, it's a business. And customers are winning because of the fact that epic is competing with steam. One week of free games from epic bring more value to customers than anything valve did in the last 14 years.

Pretty much, there was no way he could have taken the epic deal without completely ruining his reputation. My only question is did epic want his game for awhile or did they actually try to straight up poach him after he announced a release date on steam? I can't tell but I think epic is more incompetent than evil

Oh, you don't know what hacking is.

Using an vulnerability on the epic storefront and some social engineering to get a player to click on a link, the exploiter got access to your entire account. Epic is even being sued over it.

Now I know corporate boot tastes good if you're modern day slave but you really need to wake the fuck up.

Valve brought several games to PC which had costs. That's minor when compared to giving players a voice through. Of course they aren't saints, but take the paid mods fiasco: you really believe Epic would have backed down at gamers revolting? Epic would have sided with the mods because pubs would have gotten more money.

When your argument is "it's don't affect me so I don't care" you kind of paint yourself as an unlikeable person. If that's true however I do have to question why you are downloading these games and taking the bloat instead of just pirating them. All of them have cracks and are older than when Epic starting offering them.

>Tim pays 500k to dev to exclusively sell his trash
Holy fucking BASED

This isn't anime user, you can't pay your bills with passion

should've taken the epic deal lmao

Thinking about other peopel is unironically a cuck behavior though. Only you matter.

So basically you're poor. I love how all the anons that believe the dev should have sold out for the money, don't actually have it themselves. I suppose this is what a jew without connections looks like.

He never said "Fuck Epic". Why do you keep lying to everyone?
>Do you want a deal?
>I would like to post my game, but I already promised to offer on Steam and GoG. Can I post without the deal?
>No, we only want exclusives
Devs were actually pretty courteous and positive to Epic, not taking a side altogether.

Then have a job instead of making games.

How does that equate to poor? It still works, why am I going to needlessly waste money for such a mild issue?
Do you buy a new iphone every year?

LMAO sure, user, sure. It's better to just not reply sometimes.
Truth

Looks good but I'm not a Horror game fan
Shit like Limbo and Little Nightmares aren't my cup of tea, but I do like to watch let's plays of games like this

If that's true then buying games is also cuck behavior. I know you are consolefag shitposting, but pirating is 100% free and doesn't have launchers or DRM. Why would you buy games on PC since everything will be cracked eventually? Just wait a few months for your AAA game, if it's indie you can take it in less than a week.

i've got a lot of disposable income, so i'll support anything that shits on epic

"not found"
Also, they didn't bring any games to pc. They bring games to their own platform that would be sold on pc anyway. Funnily enough, they were doing exclusives back then. Go figure
> If that's true however I do have to question why you are downloading these games and taking the bloat instead of just pirating them. All of them have cracks and are older than when Epic starting offering them.
It's faster to download games from epic than from torrents. As simple as that, and if i want to support developers because i feel like their game deserve my money then it's better to get it on epic than on steam anyway. Gaben does not deserve my money, he's the biggest jew on the entire world.

It is, I agree on that. Paying for entertainment is bad in every way.

Oh then you're just shit posting. Cool.

this, they knew exactly what they were doing

I still don't understand why Epic is still at the stage where they have to manually add games to the store. It's not like they're some small company with a limited amount of employees. They far outpace Valve in terms of cash flow

Can you guys learn to do basic copy/pasting?
What does that link provide? Nothing? Just some words from Gaben in 2011 without a citation. I mean if you're going to get butthurt over Valve's profits but not Epic's that's pretty hypocritical.

It's one guy and according to It didn't work at all

Software development after some point doesnt scale that much with the head count. You cant throw money at the problem and expect it to be solved in a day.

It's been six fucking months. And it's not like they're trying to do something that hasn't been done before

>"not found"
Then just google it.
>Also, they didn't bring any games to pc. They bring games to their own platform that would be sold on pc anyway
Why in the hell are you commenting if you couldn't read the news? Many of those games weren't coming on PC.
>Funnily enough, they were doing exclusives back then
Are you lowiq? How were they doing exclusives in making deals so that games who weren't on PC would come on their store? Which store lost the capacity to sell those games?
>It's faster to download games from epic than from torrents
No it isn't. Did you actually try to download any of those cracks?
>As simple as that, and if i want to support developers because i feel like their game deserve my money then it's better to get it on epic than on steam anyway.
These games have been out much before Epic. So you want to support them now, games who were already on the market before and even entered into sale, because they were released for free on Epic? That's makes no sense.
>muh Steam they make lot of profits
You are terrible at this. Time to claim you are another user.

hilarious as fuck.

saving the budget to buy out every game on steams top 50 wishlist is higher on the priority

If so, that's pretty much admitting you are shitposting since launchers don't matter for a piratefag. So here, have a (you).

>People flinging shit about this for any number of stupid or stale reasons
>When we literally have proof now that Epic will refuse to put an indie on it's store unless it's exclusive
>Despite Tim's justification for his bullshit being some multi-store utopian future
I mean sure, surprise surprise. But there was the benefit of the doubt before.

>consoles
>helping PC

consoles have never done anything but shit on PC,
The main reason PC is and will always be the best platform for games is because of
- modding
- MMO, Mobashit, FPS & RTS
- the definitive choice for e-sportfags
- controller freedom
- better hardware
- better utility
- more settings
even the devs know this

dev is a good guy, remember having integrity means far more than selling out and sucking off a creepy weird pedophile like tim sweeney. Yea Forums is just depressed losers who want a get rich quick scheme instead of earning it the hard way. This is why they use cheats to play games.

/thead

Doesn't matter. The shills are ignoring that part and are now focusing on how the poor little indie dev should have taken the deal

Are you lowiq? How were they doing exclusives in making deals so that games who weren't on PC would come on their store? Which store lost the capacity to sell those games?

You do realize steam wasn't the first storefront and that devs had their own websites to sell games back then? That's is why valve was doing exclusives back then.

I read the article
>The main party to thank for this is Valve, who in 2005 began the process of courting third-party publishers and asking them to sell games on their Steam marketplace. By 2007, most of the industry's biggest companies were onboard.And many of the games they'd be selling would be ones you could also buy on Xbox 360 or PS3. Fighting games. Action games. Brawlers. Platformers.

None of what was said there imply that valve bring console games to pc, it just says that you could buy games that were also on consoles. In fact, i don't have to even read that shit. I was there and i know that's just your own bullshit. No one ever claimed that, because it's not true.
>No it isn't. Did you actually try to download any of those cracks?
I didn't have to, using egs is way more comfy.
>These games have been out much before Epic. So you want to support them now, games who were already on the market before and even entered into sale, because they were released for free on Epic? That's makes no sense.
Was talking about games in general. not about freebies
>>muh Steam they make lot of profits
Yeah they do, and because of that they don't have to care about anyone. Which is why they were able to fail every project in the last 7 years and not be affected by it.

Modding is pretty irrelevant depending on the kind of gaming you enjoy. Controller freedom is dev specific, sometimes you'll get games that can't be translated into a basic hand held controller even with 3rd party apps.
Read the whole article, man you're dumb.

the problem isn't being able to have lots of things on the store, it's that they're limiting the number of games they release so that each game gets proper front-page advertising

>the wool is starting to slip off the eyes of one of their biggest drones
Uh oh.

I don't think firefall guy was defending epic, good try tho. Looks like he is going to become journalist with all of steamdrones retards spamming his twitters comments

>this is what steamdrones actually believe
doesn't even say if the game is good or not. more people liked the review than even own the game

Attached: anime.jpg (614x300, 50K)

What did he expect? At least EGS fans are fiercely loyal.

Sure man haha integrity will mean a lot when you're stsrving. Fucking idiot.

How many people own the game?
And don't post muh current/peak players.

Irrelevant. Sold nothing and is regarded as a shit gane by Steamdrones. Epic woukd have pulled them to greatnessn, but they chose to associate with the riff-raff.

And it's a tranny. With hundreds of games with 0 hours on them. What are the odds

Stean is a primarily tranny platform.

>You do realize steam wasn't the first storefront and that devs had their own websites to sell games back then? That's is why valve was doing exclusives back then.
Which devs are you referring?
>None of what was said there imply that valve bring console games to pc, it just says that you could buy games that were also on consoles.
Which means they brought games that were on console to PCs, exactly my point. Or you really believe those devs already had PC ports and were selling in individual websites? If you were there then proof?
>I didn't have to, using egs is way more comfy.
So you are talking out your ass. Epic.
>Was talking about games in general. not about freebies
Okay. Doesn't change those games were available in other places before Epic. Unless you mean a recently launched game that took the Epic deal, which makes your own previous statements even more confusing.
>Yeah they do, and because of that they don't have to care about anyone.
If they didn't care why would they back down at player pressure?
Second, Epic shills love posting that Tim is richer than Gaben. If Valve making massive profits is bad, why are you supporting another company that also makes massive profits?

Is your brain deteriorating chang?

>epic pigs are behind the tranny astroturfing cancer
It all makes sense now

>Not everyone is a filthy jew.

Let's not pretend there isn't a monetary incentive to NOT go on the epic store, especially if your game doesn't look great otherwise. Why else make articles and get free publicity for publicly saying you're NOT going on the store? Just don't put it on the store.

>announce your game isn't going to be on epic store, like it's some big accomplishment to not bow down to the chinese jew
>anti-Epic users buy the game purely to spite Epic, lining your pockets

What in the hell happened with your comment?

Cave Story was fun and good. This a shit.

We broke him guys.

>devs had their own websites to sell games back then?
Literally when? Who? That wasn't the norm, not even a little but unless you're referring specifically to indies, which still isnt entirely true.

>posts on cooldown like a nigger
>can't even type correctly through all the tears in his eyes anymore
>thinks he can gain clout on this website by calling anyone who likes anime a tranny
Literally kill yourself.

>>Which devs are you referring?
Darwina as an example.
>>Which means they brought games that were on console to PCs, exactly my point. Or you really believe those devs already had PC ports and were selling in individual websites? If you were there then proof?
You are the one that makes the statment that valve bring console games to pc which you failed to provide source on that.
burden of proof is on you, not on me. I can help you tho, google "valve bring console games to pc", you won't find shit.
>Okay. Doesn't change those games were available in other places before Epic. Unless you mean a recently launched game that took the Epic deal, which makes your own previous statements even more confusing.
I was talking that it's better to get a game on epic than on any other storefront if you want to support devs for any reason. Because of their lower tax.
>If they didn't care why would they back down at player pressure?
it happened once with workshop. The only reason we have refunds on steam was because steam was almost banned in australia and europe.
>If Valve making massive profits is bad, why are you supporting another company that also makes massive profits?
I preffer to support unreal engine and studio that may make more games in the future than gaben and his vr hentai dream.

>biggest online store by far
>riff-raff

Yeah those brain tumors seems to be acting up again.

>I prefer to support the developer that dropped unreal and shifted 100% of their focus to milking money from 10 year olds with fortnite
>they'll probably make more games any day now
You can't be that stupid, right?

Looks like we hit a nerve :)

Idk how many anons are just hearing about this but he posted his game on reddit a few weeks ago. Relying on spiteful purchases is pretty full retard, and I don't think he cared at all until epic came to him and told him their way or fuck off

>dropped unreal

Steamdrone, please

>$20 for a 4hr puzzle game
it looks cool but I'd only pay $10 for it

They literally haven't made a game since pre-2011

Why don't you ask why Tim was interested in buying this game until the dev refused to make it exclusive, at which point Sweeney started to claim it was too low quality for EGS anyway instead?

>Darwina
You mean the dev studio that was saved by Steam in accordance to their own statement?
>You are the one that makes the statment that valve bring console games to pc which you failed to provide source on that.
It's exactly on the news, the ones who you said you didn't read because you were there. You said you were there, if all those games were already PC ports selling on individual stores how did Valve save the PC market?
>I was talking that it's better to get a game on epic than on any other storefront if you want to support devs for any reason. Because of their lower taxes.
Okay, I think your brain had a brainfart. Let me help you: you said you got those games through Epic. I posted those games have been ages on other places and you could have gotten those beforehand. Why did you wait for Epic to take those games before supporting those devs?
>it happened once with workshop. The only reason we have refunds on steam was because steam was almost banned in australia and europe.
So you agree it happened. Good, we are making process. As for refunds, I should point out that in fact not everyone was up to it since it meant the end of flash sales.
>I preffer to support unreal engine and studio that may make more games in the future than gaben and his vr hentai dream.
Ignoring this phrase grammatical collapse, that's really retarded when you consider that Unreal engine was already extremely profitable before Epic. If they wanted to release games they could easily do so even before the Epic store.

nigga if he didn't fold to any one of those, much less all three, then he's doing something right

with that said im not buying his game because it doesnt look fun to me

This

Mark Kern has been sucking epic's dick for months

>Darwina
It's been months now and still Darwina is the only example you can find

You mean the dev studio that was saved by Steam in accordance to their own statement?
Exclusivity saved them? That's nice, can't count all of the studios epic saved by now then.
>>Okay, I think your brain had a brainfart. Let me help you: you said you got those games through Epic. I posted those games have been ages on other places and you could have gotten those beforehand. Why did you wait for Epic to take those games before supporting those devs?
you are mixing my statments again and again, i assume it's because you don't have anything to deflect. Not bothering anymore
>It's exactly on the news, the ones who you said you didn't read because you were there. You said you were there, if all those games were already PC ports selling on individual stores how did Valve save the PC market?
Ask kotaku writer what he meant by this.
>As for refunds, I should point out that in fact not everyone was up to it since it meant the end of flash sales.
Yes, valve decide to end flash sales to get their profits from refunds back. They could still do that and make shit tons of money, but why give a fuck when you have no real competition? And everyone was up to it, because valve never claimed they will stop flash sales. It something they decide to do after the fact.

>You games shit get over yourself faggot

>Exclusivity saved them? That's nice, can't count all of the studios epic saved by now then.
If you knew about what you are talking about you would know Valve supported them before they went to their store. It wasn't an exclusitivity deal.
>you are mixing my statments again and again
You cannot even type 'statement'. You have no grasp of what you are talking about.
>Ask kotaku writer what he meant by this.
It meant, which anyone with a brain could get, that Valve saved the PC scene by bringing console games to PC.
>Yes, valve decide to end flash sales to get their profits from refunds back.
Are you being dense on purpose? You cannot have flash sales with refunds because every gamer who brought a game in sale, who later went into a bigger sale and they missed would complain ages for not being able to refund.

OH NO NO NO

But honestly, feels bad man. This is why everybody takes the deal. He apparently even had a lot of wishlists and it amounted to shit.
