Wasn't his original ask to Epic to be able to have his game on their storefront non exclusively? Isn't this exactly the same as before?

Kek. That's what you get for going against the chinese overlords.

It's just shitposting, don't take everything you read at face value.

yes, but that ruins the shitposting of course.

Oh I see. Carry on then

a game can't stand on morals alone, it still needs to be a good game. darq has a nice artstyle but still looks fairly boring to play, and the "manipulating physics" claim for the game seems to be exaggerated, it's just walking on walls or different transitions for going forward/back in a 2D game.

Im the one attacking the epic shill you fucking retard.

Not that big, I would say 10k but it's perfectly fine for an indie game, not accepting the offer is sub 80iq lvl. Tim even mocks him with "heheh congratulations what a big success" ;)

Do you really think they'd keep that up if they gain market dominance?

>Refuse to donate to charity unless an impossible condition is fufilled
How is he the good guy? A good person just donates to charity without making it a publicity thing.

China will grow larger.

Should spend more money on trees instead of video games.
At least protecting a forest is kind of based.

he didnt even get to the part where they discuss money. Just told them to make it non exclusive or fuck off.

Flipping off Valve is also extremely based. A shame they don't have a no DRM policy like GoG.

What the point if he's donating all the money?

Fucking this. This guy is the first indie dev to ride the Epic Hate Wave in a way that gives him enough goodwill and support for all his future games. The guy is in for the long run and is trying very hard to become "that guy who owned ebin games" for a long time.

>What is unreal
Egs doesn't offer DRM, almost every game is DRM free there. Sure Dev can add DRM, not all gog games are DRM free.

The people are sub human drones. Like bees/ants but shitty and useless. You could argue that the government is trying and succeeding in making them useless.

You answered your own question.
The only ones that would do anything about it are arrested.

This. I appreciate them standing up to Epic, but if you're game is another indie side scroller with a lost child, I have no sypathy when it sells poorly. Maybe try making something unique.

Is this EGS counter propaganda? I mean, I don't see why this is a problem. Isn't he just pissing into egs corn flakes because if they refuse they just seem like arseholes? And even if he wants more Money I don't see the problem. It's not exclusive.

That guy gets so many responses I don't believe that he hasn't gotten a bf by now. It must be his fault. I'm sure he must be doing something to remain bf-less.

Maybe the bf was the friends we made along the way.

jesus christ could tim be any more online? maybe if that bald ratfaced fuck spent less time on twitter like a 14 year old girl his "store" would have a fucking SHOPPING CART by now.

But you said that you didn't do that, Tim.

It literally says the opposite though. To the point devs are blatently mocking EGS that they'll give 100% of the $0 revenue to charity if they were allowed in.

>I need money, that's why I'm offering to donate all money

No you don't, Tim.

That's literally been his position from the very beginning.

You're conflating GoG Galaxy with the browser/backup copies that GoG provides.
They're two different things (owned and operated by the same company).
If a developer so chooses, they can use GoG's DRM functionality. If someone chooses not to use it, that doesn't make it not DRM for all of the other developers that do choose to use it that way.
To answer your question, DRM prevents the use of the software if you don't have it installed. Front-end is just a method of purchase. You're done wit it once you 'have' the software, althouhg in many cases you still have to install the launcher/DRM anyway.

This reminds me of the time where the guy who called Keanu wonderful at E3 got offered a copy of Cyberpunk for free and he declined the offer since he wanted them to donate thousands of dollars to a children charity instead. Essentially use charity to make yourself look good and put the dev in an awkward position and if the dev declines, they are declining giving to a charity so they look bad.

Did you even read the post?

OP is just making fun of EGS shills as the Twitter post is anything but the Darq dev begging Tim, he even says he can just put the game on EGS and give all the revenue he gets there to charity, implying he got enough money it wouldn't matter.

Actually, a suprising few amount of people seem to have even read the Twitter post.

That whole article was bullshit for anyone that cares. Literally the entire fucking TI9 people were spamming it and a lot more. Valve didn't give a fuck. Maybe some people got banned but it didn't stop it, and i definitely saw the same names.

>no bloatware

am i the only one who doesn't give a fuck about 99% of Steams "features"

i just want to click play, and play the fucking game

>I agree that it doesn't have any of those things. You are 100% correct. Now allow me to spaz out.

>failed on steam
>announced a free update/DLC

pick one

Watching streamdrones seeth makes my dick hard. I unironically love seeing GOG and Epic start biting at Gabes heels, Valve is fucking garbage and has been getting worse by the year, yet still has defenders because of Half Life. They treat Valve like its their best friend. Its not only a business but a shitty one, or a great one if you're looking at it with jew vision. They stopped making games the second they could sit comfortably on their 30% and income from the marketplace.

Valve is a joke, Gabe pushes whatever he can without a care about you, paid mods, shitty sales that are a joke compared to what they used to be, trash skinnerbox games like Artifact only made to sell shit on the marketplace, no creative goal behind it what so ever.

Steam is a stagnated piece of trash that has endless problems in both its design and the sheer amount of shit on the store, shit that is let through because Valve don't give a shit about quality control. 30% of an asset flip unity shitter is still 30%, and its all about the money.

When does steam improve? Only when someone bites at it. The community upgrade would have never happened without Discord, the library upgrade would have never happened the other launchers starting to make steam look like out dated trash.

Fuck Valve, and fuck the drones. I'm smiling ear to ear seeing them ironically not get to play the one game they were born for, a drone simulator.

>boris and natasha stole the American election

>same case with steam
No, with Steam, developers of videogames can choose whether or not they want to implement cloud saves. They have extensive documentation to base their decision and their implementation on. On the Epic Faggot Store, developers can not implement cloud saves themselves. They need to ask Timmy Tencent for a custom implementation made by the epic faggot devs, because there *is* no documentation for cloud saves on the store available, because there *is* no generic cloud save platform, only a series of differently made storages, each suited only for a single game. But I don't expect a mentally retarded chinaman like you to understand the difference. Go parrot your shitty misinfo on social media, leech.

This dude threw some top banter. It's like when Sweeney says he'll "stop signing exclusivity deals" only if Valve reduces the share they take to an unsustainable low level--the cut unsustainable according to Tim Sweeney's own assessments, and he'll absolutely stop his generosity towards devs the instant he thinks he has their nuts completely trapped in his chink vice.

Sorry Chang, but the game was actually a success and he's making free DLC for it. Also this developer is fucking based for making Epic look like the hypocritical faggots they are.

Vanquish is a cult classic at this point. It has sold over 200k on Steam, and even though peak concurrent players don't tell about sales, if you want to go with that, DARQ has still sold at least around 20k.

You committed the ultimate cardinal sin, you got personal. You, as a team of professionals trying to make money, got personal. You got personal and decided to insult your playbase. Not a wise move.

We won't forget this. You've set a new tone for the kind of interaction we'll be having with you. It's a cold one. One where there aren't any illusions about the reality of the situation. Previous notions of "family" are dead. We are mere consumers to you, and that is obvious.

You have chosen to bring in a new era of hostility and bitterness. Well done. Great PR move.

all this because of an indie shitter game that didn't even sell 1000 copies?

Let what go? A store doesn't have to sell your game you retard, that's their personal choice. He keeps doubling down on his victimhood to sell the game, that's a major yikes for me. Hope his next game fails when he can't find the victim points to get featured on Kotaku

what's the point of selling more of the game if he's giving all the money to charity

>victimhood
He's never claimed to be the victim here, he turned down EGS's deal, showed Tim Sweeney up for being a hypocrite (yet again) and has done well even without selling out.

Get a fucking grip.

Sweet tears of the seething drones

We've got $100 here from the devs of DARQ, saying "Greetings from Germany, long time viewer first time donater, let's kick EGS' butt and save the animals! Steam HOIPE!"

Uh, DARQ has been trending on Steam for the last week. What makes you think they are having bad sales?

Why does Tim Sweeney hate charity so much? What's this fucking creep's problem?

He doesn't want to sell it, thought.

Only he can decide who lives and dies.

steamcharts.com/app/433550

fuck of dev

I'm pretty sure the dev wants to sell his game lmao

Reminder that DARQ was only offered money to be exclusive to EGS because of a rogue Epic employee trying to ruin the stores reputation by sneaking shovel ware in.
Reminder that Tim Sweeney intervened at the last minute and kept EGS quality to high curation stasndard, unlike Steam.

The pathetic panhandling to timmy gives it away

>fucking asshole why did he sell out to EGS
>fucking idiot, why didn't he sell out to EGS

It would have been better if he just never developed a game at all.

Man, Tim's such a cunt. Can't believe DARQDev is stunting on him this hard.

Tim Sweeney reminds me of Jeffrey Dahmer.

Fuckin based Tim singlehandedly saving pc gaming from the indie shitwave

And? This is not an AAA game. The fact that it's on the top-10 trending list for Steam means it's moving product. If you read the reviews and look at the commenters profiles, you see a lot of people that have bought the game out of principle and didn't even play it. Those charts don't say anything about sales. I have at least 400 games in my Steam library that I've never even installed, yet alone played. A sale is a sale, though.

Yes, we all see through Epic's "dev-friendly" charade, Chang.

Huh, people still use Steam ? Get in the times Grandpa. Steam is DEAD

darq isnt much of a game anyway

>haha I am taking your statement about one thing and I am applying it to support the opposite
Steam needs to up the pay for you guys dont they

They don't know how Steam works beyond seeing the hgames getting added to it. Please be patient

What panhandling? The devs original offer was to put the game on Epic without exclusive status. He's actually made them an even worse offer (for themselves) by fore-going all profits just to see what Epic would do. Will they be shitbags and deny charitable donations just to avoid putting the game on their store? He specifically said NOT EXCLUSIVE in the OP comment. It's the same offer as before, only the profits are going to charity. He's basically mocking Epic and calling them out for being selfish shitbags.

OP is just shitposting, it's exactly the same as before. I have to give it to the DARQ dev though, not bowing down to exclusivity deals but still fighting hard to give consumers as many options as possible for purchasing the game. A true hero, if he succeeds in getting the game put on EGS without exclusivity, then this will both mean a huge victory for consumer rights and might just be a sign things might even get better when it comes to Epic's stance on exclusivity deals, if we're lucky.

>name my band

This would be EPIC if it was true :^)

>you see a lot of people that have bought the game out of principle and didn't even play it

Imagine doing this unironically just to stick it to a studio you don't like.

What do you mean "IF"? It's right there in the fucking OP. Read it again.

>Imagine having principles and supporting a company for making decisions based on what the consumer wants.
Heaven forbid.

He'll also sell more elsewhere from all the free publicity. So it doesn't matter if the EGS sales don't earn him anything.

Gotta hand it to the guy, he sure knows how to generate PR.

NOOOOOOOOO YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT BUSINESS PRACTICES YOU AGREE WITH
EPIC IS JUST ANOTHER FREE LAUNCHER GWEILO

>Game dev says he'll give all of his game profits to charity with zero benefit to himself
>This is somehow 'caving' EGS, even though there is nothing to be gained from it for himself, only a charity of the gaming community's choice.
The Epic shills are out in force this morning.

Or just don't spend the money?

This.

Peak players isn't sales Sergey. Sorry Valve cut off your SteamDB revenue but trying to disparage Steam doesn't make you any better.

My apologies, I meant SteamSpy revenue.

>game was actually a success
>a lot of people that have bought the game out of principle and didn't even play it
fucking social media powered clown world
if the game had been put into egs it would not even sell at all and both him and epic would get nothing
20$ for a 1 hour walking simulator is not a good game at all

so how many copies of darq have you bought, Yea Forums?
we should rise up against china!

If he doesn't accept it he is actively showing that he doesn't give two shits about charity and he doesn't want the game to succeed as much as he just wants the exclusivity deal to take it away from Steam.

These shit threads became even less fun when you find out it's just one autist.

Idiot. The guy still proved EGS and Sweeney's hypocricy with this shit, and that doesn't change with how many copies the game sells. The only difference is that if the media outlets didn't give this attention, less people would be aware of Tim's hypocricy.

You're talking about a clown world, but you're perfectly fine with Tim's hypocricy just because people bought this game because of the publicity.

so 20k*70%*20=280k?

it's literally almost 1/10th of what epic was offering

Right, because Steam prices are the same across the world. Try 10$ average at most. Then weigh against production costs and compare to what Epic was offering.

his "success" is literally caused only by epic refusing to sell his game on egs
tim was not involved at all in that exchange

>fitting a narrative they like

Just search for epic game on twitter. Nobody talk about the store its all about them fucking up fortnite.

epic offers 200k for indie games like his, i dont know where people are thinking indie games are getting millions of dollars for epic exclusivity

hes a single dev. production costs for single devs are generally zero because they either have a job and do the game on the side or live with family or gf/bf

>DARQ dev has minor success and is coy with Tim

I'm sure Kotaku would have an article up if they actually played games

You're great, loliposter.

Are you a sub 80 iq monkey? Epic refusing the game being sold on their store solely because they can't get exclusivity of it proves that Epic are hypocrites, and that move doesn't suddenly become a good thing because the game becomes a top seller on the competitor as a result, quite the opposite actually. It just cements Epic's position as the clowns of the PC gaming market for caring so much about exclusivity of some shitty indie walking simulator. They only have themselves to blame for the game selling well on Steam, and if anything you should be mocking Epic for this, not the consumers who bought this game. Because really, Epic could really use the good publicity of actually presenting itself as an option to Steam to buy the same games on rather than trying so hard to be the ONLY place to get certain third-party games on.

Damn I guess every online store in the current day should have no shopping, cart, no security,, and no regional pricing. 10 years ago they didn't have it so why should anyone have it now lmao?

Don't you have a Hong Kong Protests or a Tianamen Square Massacre to get back to?

what?
without the controversy nobody would have even heard about this game and nobody would have bought it without the "principles"
and no, whatever the cause buying stuff you're not interested in just to prove a point is stupid

Can you imagine being brainwashed by your government to fear one of God's few gifts he left straight from Eden? What a bunch of faggots.

Samefag OP outs himself because only he failed to read his own epic twitter cap.
He's saying he wants to donate all the money to charity. It's a dare; he's daring EGS to either stop exclusively using exclusives, or admit they'd rather use exclusives than let a game use their store for charity. He's (trying to) prove his dick's bigger than Sweeny's.

I haven't read the whole thread, but just so everyone understands, this is publicity pressure. If Tim doesn't accept DARQ onto the EGS, it looks like he's denying money to a charity.

By doing this, he's exposing Epic. If they really cared about devs and the health of the gaming industry, they'd be more than happy to give money to a charitable cause chosen by the industry, and so they'd be happy to have another game on their store AND money in a charity. But since all Epic cares about is gaining 100% control of the market and strong-arming devs into exclusivity by giving them ridiculously lucrative, completely unsustainable deals, Epic will not want to put DARQ on their store.

By forcing Epic to choose between good publicity and their actual goals, the dev will either expose Epic's true nature to the public or get his game on the EGS non-exclusively and strike a devastating blow to the whole exclusivity paradigm. Either way, he wins.

It's the fact that the game IS popular that is making Epicdrones seethe. Check the Steam top seller list, them rejecting this game is ironically the reason why the game became a great success in the first place. Epic Fail Store really shot themselves in the foot for rejecting this game solely because the guy denied exclusivity. If they had just accepted the game, it would have blissfully passed below the radar without much of a blip.

Well he's objectively correct anyway
