Who pretends to like the EGS purely for the sake of annoying everyone?

While its dumb that you can't disable them in client, you can disable them with SpecialK iirc.

Literally me.

do not get mad at EGS for that

take it up with your unscrupulous publishers who do not engage their userbase prior to making decisions that might piss them off

>Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company.
Looks guys I know it's fun to pretend to be retarded but you guys (pretenders) either need to make it more obvious so that we can actually differentiate chinkshills and report them, or... I dunno, just not do it. I'd prefer the first one because I like fun. I pretend to be retarded too, but I will always drop hints in my posts that I'm just pretending. If anyone was in the tarkov thread earlier this week, I was the person who said what difference a 9mm or a 9000mm bullet makes, they are all bullets.

In response to the OP, I never pretend to like EGS but I do find it fun calling people chinkshills.

Sorry, the typo was pissing me off to much so I deleted my post and remade it with the correction. But anyway to continue the reply chain:

All I have to say to that is that Steam is making a separate version of themselves specifically for China, which I think is better than just giving everyone the same shit. That means Not-China gets everything without China filters, and China gets their filters that their owner requires.

I don’t understand why some people hate Epic with a fucking passion, they will spend hours at their computers absolutely seething. Like, who gives a shit? If the game is epic exclusive just fucking pirate it and move on.

because I have to feed my (you) addiction

There is not a single media entity that does operate fully legally in china with global version anyway. Not only you are forced to create separate version, you are forced to work with government to operate it.

Because it's the principle of the situation.

So based on this post, can it be said with certainty that is correct in implying that Epic is legally operating in China?

I've been playing The Cycle and Rebel Galaxy Outlaw recently through the EGS. Buying, downloading, and launching the games was really easy.

If I want reviews I'll google them, Steam reviews are getting worse and worse with all the review bombing bullshit.

If I want a discussion section I'll go to the game's Discord, they are run better and usually organized well.

Workshop and VR are the only things I really need Steam for.

No one does this. Epic is just extremely obnoxious and Sweeney is a fucking smug cunt.

No one likes arrogance. Epic IS arrogance.

EGS and Steam are both jewish proxies propagated in China in order to divide people. I choose neither.

>No one does this

Nigga do you even know where you are?

No, epic use the same method steam used before . As of right now Steam is operating in china legally, Epic is in grey zone

People really need to stop being so apologetic to Epic. Seeing threads that defend them honestly just makes me sick to my stomach.

You may be asking yourself “Why would it make you feel like that? If you don’t like it just don’t buy it.” And to people who actually say that, that’s a yikes from me dawg and i’m gonna unpack it.

The reason it makes me feel that way is because it promotes a predatory anti-consumer environment in which companies will start poaching other games for their own stores which will probably be barebones. I mean look at Epic’s features, no shopping cart? Are you even trying Tim?

Honestly most of this can be summarized as “I only want steam,” and people might be arguing that Steam is a monopoly (It’s not btw) but I have to answer with “Is that really a bad thing?” Steam have proven that they care for consumer rights and will not sink to shady tactics, they’ve helped grow the PC market immeasurably and we all should thank them for not only that but for the revolutionary games they’ve made.

So, I shall conclude my post with a thank you, a thank you to steam and most of all a thank you to Gabe Newall, for caring about consumers and making some of the best damn games in existence.

What people say on le ebin 4chanz and what people really do are very different things.

Arrogance is completely fine when you have as much money as he does.

I don't want to annoy everyone. Just steamcucks who are upset a store doesn't have a profile page where you can advertise your furry ERP groups

You have people actively defending lootboxes now, defending Epic isn't surprising.

Money is power, and when you use that power to piss off the individuals that need to buy your product so that you can keep making a profit, people are going to get tired of your arrogance.

maybe try making a good storefront that doesn't need to bribe people?

You still have the money, so what does that anger matter?

>steam dominance
The epic delusions speak volumes about their true goals.

Why make a good storefront if people already use it because of Fortnite and you can bribe devs to join you?

>who is underaged?

all of us?

GoG is better, it's dead. Next argument please

The ideal situation is that angry people should not want to give you more money to do more things that make those same people angry but we both know the general population is made up of massive retards that can't put two and two together.

I bought one game from it and realised that devs take epic's money for a reason.

I've been using it to play Tetris Effect. I pirated it first but was satisfied with the port quality so I put the money down.
Really there's no major problems, though I guess it would be helpful to know how big a game is before you install it.
If you're the type that cares about achievements, cards, or steam friends/groups, you can fuck right off.
It's just an installer for the games and that's all it needs to be.

>why shitpost in general?
Gtfo my Yea Forums you disgusting normie

>It's just an installer for the games and that's all it needs to be
Yeah just don't pay any attention to all the consumer data we're shipping off to China by the gigabyte. JUST... a game launcher...! :)

publishers like drm. what a shock

No one is required to take the Epic bribe. Those that do are doing so of their own choosing.

>It's just an installer for the games and that's all it needs to be.
There's no reason it needs to exist then since you can install games just fine without a launcher. Steam at least offers a whole lot more than the shit you mentioned to make it worth using. Fucking gog offers more in their optional launcher.

And drm is anti-consumer. Publishers like DRM and steam is allowing them to use it. So since publishers and valve work together to not sell games on superior platform why i should support them over another alternative that does the same shit?

And that's why the arrogance is completely warranted. They win no matter what.

because you don't have to support them but recognize why a storefront is dead when its simply nothing but pro-customer. sometimes you have to throw publishers a bone. steams non-drm worked for a while but then publishers caught on it didn't actually stop anything for any amount of time so you now you get denuvo because fuck you

are you implying steam is dead?

Guess who is illegally accessing a platform that was not designed to be accessed in china, and who's not.

Reminds me how Tyler from VNN started going in full denial about Artifact
>no it's not dead!
>it'll get better!
>if only we had more players!

I like achievements. Does that upset you?

>Publishers like DRM and steam is allowing them to use it.
So is EGS.
Why would I support 2 anti-consumer things (forced third party exclusives and DRM) when I can support 1 (DRM)?

I hate gayben and steam, every step against them is a good step for PC Gaming so fuck em, praise EGS

They're trying to pretend that technological advbancements are bad. What else can they do, if you think about it?

I don't fucking care. I bought Hades and Metro Exodus and take the free games every week. When Microsoft Game Pass came out I kicked myself because I could've played Exodus for 5 instead of 50. When The Outer Worlds comes out I'll be playing it on Game Pass because it's five bucks instead of fifty, then maybe buy the game on Steam when it goes down to 20 and if enough mods are out. My modus operandi for games is "Who can get me the game legitimately the cheapest with the least hassle when I want to play it?". I check GMG/Wario64 for game deals and buy if I think it's worth it. I feel no loyalty to any developer, publisher or game launcher. Who got the fucking games?

The game was always going to come to PC after that Chinese company bought a minority stake in Quantic Dream. After that happened they announced their ability to release their previous games on PC. This was because EGS exclusivity was even a thing
