Why are you confused then?

ouch.

I just want to see Gabe Newell arrested for peddling gambling to children.

Keylogging. Denuvo basedware.

>trusting Randy at his word
What's it like being retarded?

More than Steam at only 100,000

Just posting the facts, its not so impressive when its getting beaten by games like Payday 2 and some literally who shit

I see, my bad.

Steam has sold 0 copies of Borderlands 3.

It's impressive because it shows how much of a superior platform EGS is. Literally double your sales + whatever cash Epic pays you to stay off Steam. It's literally a no-brainer going forward and it's going to be a good thing for consumers once Valve is finally forced to be competitive. Literally the only losers right now are Valve and Steam fanboys.

if it's so good, why not allow reviews on epic store? wouldn't it boost sales drastically having overwhelming reviews?
and why not release official player numbers?
>just take my word for it
my parents told me not to trust strangers

> Literally double your sales + whatever cash Epic pays you to stay off Steam.

How does that work when the game could have easily sold at least 400k on Steam and wouldn't have pissed off potential buyers? also does Epic pay off any potential lost DLC sales?

>Randy parading how many people bought his game
>Shills parading how they bought the game
>"Journalists" reporting on the sales of the game
>No one actually talking about the game anywhere, only its sales numbers.
I get that they're paying you but you could at least try.

Even if you trust randy he said double the concurrent player record not double the sales. Which he definitely would have said if it was true.
In short your bait's retarded.

>believing randy pitchcuck
I don't know when Valve* (steam is the store, not the company, faggot) goes out of business, but one thing's for sure - Epic will die a lot sooner :)

>Literally double your sales + whatever cash Epic pays you to stay off Steam.
That's not how Epic works. The cash you receive is guaranted sales: your aren't paid for sales until you repay Epic their money.

You're forgetting there is paid 'Exclusivity' for them to stay off Steam for six months. Guaranteed sales is a separate endeavor.

>How does that work when the game could have easily sold at least 400k

for what though? steam is perfectly fine and they offer a lot of incredible discounts.
what do you even want more?
epic store doesn't even have reviews

>>Steam gets some much need competition
>Its worst than steam in every possible way

Yeah great job teaching Steam a lesson...

Fallout 4 did

And here comes the shills...

must be nice to spout lies without ever having to worry about getting exposed, Randy

No proofs then? That's okay, I had a feeling there wasn't.

If only epic could actually track player numbers

they have nothing to offer othan than exclusive games. funny thing is that their exclusive deals will end after 1 year and then steam will catch up again. they can't throw money out of the window forever. especially when fortnite gets less popular they will die off very quickly. no game lasts forever, especially online games.

Same amount of proof as Randy claiming that its done double the numbers as 2

How do you teach a launcher a lesson?

>shills talking shit about other shills
Now this is epic

So you mean like every other company that makes public statements? Do you audit all of Valve's numbers as well, fanboy?

>competitition
>EGS doesn't support Linux so I couldn't use it even if I wanted to
If you're trying to compete, it's generally a bad idea to make your product inaccessible to your competitor's customers.

I'm actually a bit surpriaed Steam is so transparent with its player numbers. Why don't other launchers do this as well?

>thing could have done this
vs
>thing actually did this
Hmm, I don't think so, bud. But nice try.

The problem isn't that it's on EGS. The problem is 2k, Gearbox, Randy, and Denuvo are all terrible and I'd feel physically ill supporting it all at once

truth hurts sales. it's best to have full control over the store page (no reviews, no statistics, just your shilling for the game)
same reason why government youtube channels disable comments on youtube.

Gay

Can guarantee it would've been 300,000 to 500,000 Concurrent if it was on steam.
And more sales in the long run. Note how he never said anything about how many they've sold, only concurrent players?

It's just one game. But I remember Outer Worlds will release on Epic...

Ah yes, everything posted on Twitter is true, whether it's Trump posting nonsense or Zoe Quinn trying to falsely accuse some schmuck of rape.

>Shows proof
>"No proofs, then?"
Proof that Chinese shills have more rice in between their ears than brain.

Why do shills come here (the most irrelevant gaming community) specifically to defend Epic? It's not so blatant on other sites.

Double your sales assumes borderlands target audience remained stagnant on PC, as opposed to little kiddies of the 360 era growing up to make their own PCs.

Good thing they put all that always online DRM so they can post numbers like this.

You can't guarantee shit, kiddo.

Who are you quoting?

That just means they only had fucking 200,000 players. That's abysmal for a mainstream game

Nobody even said that, autist.

At this point, I don't think people care.

(you), you moron. I'm guessing your ratio of brain to rice is closer to 0:100, rather than the generous 20:80 like I was expecting.

Steam has and overwhelming majority of abysmal games then.

Call 911, this user is having a stroke.

>Compare modern steam title sales for other big-brand names.
The Next thing you'll roughly say is: "Lol that's wrong"

Again, you can't guarantee shit, kiddo.

Why would Steam go out of business? Are you people retarded? Didn't you already say this ad nauseum months ago?

It's just another launcher. You know what that means? That same logic you apply to EGS applies to Steam as well. Which means no one is actually taking any playerbases from each other because it's just another launcher so might as well install them all.

What games let me leave behind a cute and funny USB drive at a Medieval Times?

How long till Randy goes to prison?

Not sure who this user is, but he sure wants everyone to think he's right.
Unfortunately, no-one will ever really remember him once EPIC finally goes bankrupt.
I'll take this time to pity him for wasting his valuable time arguing on this vietnamese basket-weaving forum.

>businesses never go bankrupt
LMAO

Oof, I wonder what this user is going to do once Gabe pulls the plug on his vending machine and he can no longer play his games. Guess we'll find out in a couple of years!

Who are you quoting?

Eh, I'll find out in around 70 years when Valve finally dies.
You'll probably find out a lot sooner with Sweeny

They're not talking about number, only how much more concurrent players it has than previous game. Which is fucking abysmal if you look it up:

Realistically Tencent has so much money that they'll probably just absorb Valve once they tank in the US. Screencap me.

Pfft, Screencap this:
Valve isn't going anywhere soon. Tencent is likely to stick around, simply because it's got it's fingers in a million pies. However, EPIC will not. *If* Tencent buys Valve, it's going to be *After* EPIC fails.

don't trust Americans and their "data"

Screencap this and upload this to /r/Yea Forums. Half Life 3 will be announced in 2021 and Valve will make a comeback

In this case, it's Chinese data.

Just give it some time
Rome wasn't built in a day

I won't cap flawed logic, if Epic fails, that means Tencent has failed. Not happening, bub.

Pretty much. 99% of games are abysmal

You're both retarded. Why can't tencent just buy BOTH Valve and Epic?

Because they're privately traded companies and would have to agree to the sale

why would he lie?

The logic is sound. The only way Tencent acquires Valve is if EPIC fails while Tencent survives. In literally no other circumstance does Valve get acquired by Tencent.
If anything, Valve would get acquired by Microsoft first.

Why would he tell the elaborate lie about how he got the name of Gearbox?

Screencap this, and upload it to /r/halflife as a leak:

>Gabe will announce Half-life 3 in ten minutes.

He's Randy Pitchford

He's done it hundreds of times before.
That's almost as bad as asking why Todd Howard would lie.

I wouldn't mind honestly.
Maybe MS would become convinced to abandon the failing Xbox brand and focus solely on making PC exclusives.

It is easier to tell the number of times Randy has lied than it is when he has told the truth. The dude is the grown up version of "that kid"

Because you always lie, randy.

"Why would he not lie?" is the question you should be asking.

>If anything, Valve would get acquired by Microsoft first.
I wouldn't be surprised if Gabe has several systems in place specifically to prevent this from happening, even long after his death.

why WOULDN'T he lie?

I hope never steam is a good containment zone for pcfags like furries and bronies.

>bl2

Remember when new metro sold 2.5x better than "previous" on steam and publisher don't even want to mention it again? BL3 is now only twice-as-high.

Retard, that's 250k concurrent players, which is however many millions of sales, fuck knows

Fun fact: Knowing EPIC: They would be bragging about sales if they had made more sales than Borderlands 2.

This is cringe in it’s purest form

Companies on Steam's level don't go out of business. At worst, they merge or get bought out. They don't simply collapse. In order for that to happen, the company would have to posses nothing of interest to other companies. That is obviously not the case with Steam. Steam is a fucking goldmine.

well then how good is the game?
is it fun?
is there a lot of fucking outdated jokes as always?
does it last over 10 hours atleast?
pls respond whithout using sales terms, i dont care about that shit.

No it's not evidence until there is actually proof

Not him but the game is typical borderlands gameplay so it's fun if you're into that but the writing and dialogue is fucking terrible. It's so bad itll make you nostalgic for borderlands 2 writing, I dont know who writes these lines but they should be fired and never work as a writer again. But yeah if you ignore the shit characters, story and dialogue it's really a pretty fun game.

what they and you by extension failed to mention is that Epic paid for those copies - its not 250k+ actual players (people with opinions and brand loyalty in any form, repeat customers, those who buy your merch and pay for your MTX etc.) it's all from one check from China. It's disingenuous at best and flagrant mis-advertisement at worst. Go to bed Chang.

Why are you so ravenous to get people to play on epic if you aren't an employee being paid? If you aren't then it's so pathetic I can't feel sorry for you.

Okay how do we know that Randy, a known liar isn't lying about sales numbers? And let's say they are higher, try to convince me that the sales numbers are higher because it's on EGS and not because it's a sequel, You won't because you can't since there's research backing me up on the fact that sequels in most cases will sell better than their predecessors.

They did that with Metro Exodus, They bragged how it outsold Metro Last Light, the problem is that LL sold poorly compared to the first game. If they had surpassed 2033 they would have been celebrating that the Exodus was the "Best Selling Metro Game Ever!"

It didn't do that well, it's just they had it as a free trial where you could play the tutorial missions for free. That's how I decided to actually buy the game and the legacy pack for the TM1 levels in TM2.

Which spergs? The just and right steam spergs, or the nasty pedo defending epic spergs?

Why do people act like the "success" of epic exclusives is substantial? I have the EGS and guess what? I only use it for exclusives everything else I get on steam and GOG because that's what I've been using for over half a decade and have hundreds of games on. Once epic runs out of money to force people to use their platform it will die simply because it's awful. Stop pretending people are buying entire libraries again on EGS because they aren't.

Keep your console war faggotry off of PC you stupid Gen Z floss dancers.

Steam gonna get at least 300k concurrent players if not more.

Doubt it. Not because it wouldn't have sold more there. Just think the thing will be old news by then and most people won't give a fuck. I personally can't wait to see Randy gloat about his own game not doing well though.

Either Steamfans would boycott meaning worse sales or they don't care at all resulting in better sales.

it was free but even then I didnt think that many people gave a fuck

Not yet, ashen or hades will be the first egs exclusives to launch on steam in a few months.

Steam friends actually think that adding tons of noise (asset flips and zero effort games) does nothing to hinder discoverability.

Personally I'm more interested in seeing how Bloodlines 2 and CDPR will do. Aren't those games being released on Steam, Epic and GOG?

That's when the real shitshow will start.

Do you know what just happened? Valve employee called me. It turns out Gaben committed suicide. He hanged himself, and left suicide note. He wrote that he can't take making fun of steam in internet anymore. Bravo! We will take appropriate steps to punish all of you. Why you can't normally comment on things? You can't even imagine what he went through, he had no friends and was autistic and he was afraid of leaving valve HQ. All he had was internet, reddit ,Yea Forums and you took even that from him.

>Randy
>proven liar on many occasions, scam artist, pedo, embezzler, assaulted ex employee
>why would he lie
Hmmm. You're completely right, he seems trustworthy enough

They take less than brick and mortar stores, they set the new low standard that has been in place for years, other stores offer lower cuts without forcing exclusivity, why is their cut suddenly a problem now?

Prove it

It's a problem now because creepy wanker decided it is.

The consumer shouldn't give a shit about Steam's cut. It doesn't affect them whatsoever.

>>proven liar on many occasions, scam artist, pedo, embezzler, assaulted ex employee

That's a lot of accusation zoe but remember, innocent until proven guilty

>Epic posts actual sales numbers for World War Z
>every game since then it's just 'double this peak' or 'biggest yet' with no actual figures

What went wrong?

Why are you posting something that backs up my point?

no discussions only shit throwing

holy gullible fucking retard batman

Borderlands 2 was better than 1, so more hype for 3.

Nobody can defend steam being a open platform
Only shit games

i think it's he has a golden shower (pissing) not scat

>female cumming is now a magic
a magic trick he doesn't know how to do

Epic paid a guaranteed amount of money for exclusive, this is part of every deal they do.

So the money they paid out of their fortnite bucks = double the peak sales on steam.

They didn't sell to actual people.

>Announce Asagi releases, only to pussy out and go back on their word to please the molester filled Resetera trannies
Good, fuck em.

He is contactually obligated tonsay that. That's why metro dev threw out an extemely similar number as well.

If this is true they can just cancel the steam launch? right? .....right? Yeah he is just bullshiting.

Chinese funded smear campaign. When they realize epics reputation can't be salvaged, they switched to trying to destroy the competition reputation instead.

This is how subhuman chinks behave.

Yes Borderlands 3 did less than world war z based retard or wait public companies like 2k don't publish raw numbers because it's a fucking public company

How many drugs are you on user? Please, don't post under influence, it makes you seem as if you are absolutely batshit retarded.

>goes to all new releases, unfiltered
>"geez why there's so much trash here?"
Honestly steam should just remove this page to make retarded faggots stfu.

>meanwhile valve, a private company, has hourly numbers on actual player counts

It's been proven many times, even JP companies have stated it.

If the game actually sold so well (it didn't) why even bother to release on steam in 6 months, and if it does won't it sell practically nothing if it does?

he knows the guy in that monty python bit still dies, right?

State your claims clearly so I can blow you the fuck out - are you saying this is a normal browser app behavior? Just want you to be clear on this so you wont back paddle after I prove you wrong.

Epic has blundered into one PR disaster after another, while steam has managed to keep its nose clean since the paid mods clusterfuck.
All Gabe has to do is wait for Fortnite to wind down and the epic problem will either sort itself out, or be forced to become genuine competition.

Monster Hunter World sold millions on steam after months of being on consoles first. You seriously underestimate the steamdownies loyalty to their social hub

>All Gabe has to do is wait for Fortnite to wind down

You steam drones tried to predict this before and failed

I could at least use better screenshots and not angry giant red text shouting at me

The valid reason for scanning running processes/installed programs is checking if a epic launcher game is currently running or installed
anything else is conspiracy theories

Fuck the chinks, they are the same as that fat greedy fuck. I seriously hope for the sake of vidya a decent online marketplace shows up to get rid of these greedy faggots.

You're mentally ill user, think before you post

From my experience with MMOs if the numbers are good they will tell you the numbers, if the numbers are bad they'll just use buzzwords and tell you its double but never say what amount.

When Black Desert Online came out they said they had 1 million concurrent players, a year later they said "concurrent numbers have remained healthy"

What about Artifact was soulless? I never tried it myself, didn't look like my kinda game. Seemed like a genuine try at.. the card genre.(?)

You didnt answer my question. The screenshot, regardless of font, shows suspicious behavior. Programs should not mess with your certificates or these specific dlls. So how do you explain that?

It was a card game spinoff for a game that had decent worldbuilding and characters that you can expand on outside comics and battle passes.

>The valid reason for scanning running processes/installed programs is checking if a epic launcher game is currently running or installed
Wait, are you saying epic read my root certificate to check if it's running?

I’m sure it will be a cornerstone of generations to come, Chang

The peak number of players on steam means the max amount of people who played at the same time, not the overall total. Randy may be right, that bl3 on epic "doubled" bl2s steam peak. However, bl2 has probably sold millions of copies and has had millions of people play it. Bl3 has probably not even reached 1 million copies sold on PC yet. Tldr: Randy is a fag.

>service in 2019 has tracing scripts
wow I'm amazed

windows10dll.nirsoft.net/shcore_dll.html is all I found on that dll

>forced to play on EGS
>every time i launch i have to worry if my save is corrupted cause the cloud barely functions

people use steam cause it fucking works. they provide the better service.

Just about Ebin on Yea Forums and you get free (You)s, it's great!

Don't use cloud saves? Never saw the point in them anyway unless you play on multiple computers.

Isn't it only on Epic? That's actually genuinely surprising if its real but I'm skeptical.

Bullshit. That would mean it's effectively cracked already, and it's not.

2k is a publicly traded company and he would face legal action for lying about things like this

>"about twice as high"
So not twice as high?

I don't know what cave you just crawled out of, but the gaming industry gets away with this kinds of shit all the time.

What is unironically wrong with black people? They are the only race on earth who does this.

>a tweet
mhmmmmm

The difference is that companies can't legally lie about player numbers, but Randy as an individual can lie because he's not actively speaking on behalf of 2K / Gearbox.

Part of me wants to get mad but the other part of me is also laughing because what did this white shmuck think would happen?

no it doesn't

you've clearly never been around schizo white people

They used to curate games. Greenlight let a few non-curated titles into the store. Now there's no such thing as curation. They allow absolutely everything in no matter what it is. Even loli porn games that get removed after the fact. Hundreds of games have been released this past month, and most of them are mobile ports and porn. It's a fucking trash heap.

I dont know many apps that scrap the running programs, read my private certificates, put vague scripts and mess with dlls it shouldn't mess with. Only Trojans do that.

Oh and btw, if epic wanted to know if it's running it doesn't need procmon or scraping everything it could just query by-name. That was a decent program would have done. It's simple, fast, and not intrusive. There's no reason to scrape everything

The guy that got beat up was a white liberal so there is no victim.

>just dont use it bro

ah if only Epic believed in such a thing

Oh wow, a community of the poorest people on Earth from literal ghettos of abuse and violence robbed someone who has better stuff and has never suffered in their life, it's totally because of their skin colors, not the horrible environment they lived since birth

so, white people who think they are nigerians?

They never will so long epic has this shitty launcher. I bought the game yesterday and couldnt open the launcher because I visited the store too frequently. OF COURSE I HAD I JUST BOUGHT THE FUCKING GAME YOU DUMB CHINK! The launcher is bare bones as fuck. It doesnt give you download speed, it doesnt tell you how much space you need it is FUCKING TRASH.

How was the surgery? Did it hurt when they removed your junk or did they at least give you pain meds?

Yeah, there is no excuse for it. But laboring this as "blacks being blacks" means the true cause of the issue will never end. You're actually contributing to it still being a problem without realizing it.

I think what he's saying is that correlation is not the same as causation.

Though I do think there is strong evidence to show that many people are genetically predisposed to certain behaviors, you can read about this in a study on domesticating Russian foxes, its really interesting.

Every fiber of my body tells me this sentence is gonna age like piss.

If a public company gives bad numbers it will only hurt them.

Yes but giving wrong numbers is even worse ;) especially when you have an AAA product that's sells well enough.

I mean what's there to talk about in borderlands? 95% of the game is looter shooter grind with lolsorandumb humor in side missions and painfully bad drama in story ones. Most of the conversation is "hey did you get that reference" or "notice that funny thing in background?"

A guy making an unsubstantiated claim is not the same as a corporate report on a games sales figures

Imagine steam bragging about a messily 250k sales. TF2 sells 250k hats in a weekend.

They keep repeating that as some reality bender mantra that hopefully will destroy Steam.

JUST

Steam unlike egs has a really low entry barrier so there will always be new games released thereeveryday, it's not dying anytime soon

Except the satisfactory thing was a lie you stupid fuck. Or is there a reason why that game hasnt hit 1 million sales yet? Or WWZ? Or Exodus? Or PP? Or literally any game ever on EGS?

It must be refreshing to be this fucking naive.

I think WWZ sold 700k copies at least. And no, i don't think any game sold 1 mil copies yet. Unless we count borderlands that obviously did more than that.
But you know, they don't lie about numbers. Which is why there was not a single game with one million copies sold so far

But ofcourse they lie, they don't lie only when it fits my narrative! Steam concurrent players is rigged, it shows artificial numbers. Reported sales on any game ever? It's a lie, everything is a lie. Fucking neck yourself incel

Lick Gaben's boots harder, drone.

>I think WWZ sold 700k copies at least.
It did. 3 fucking months ago.
This is also the game that sold 250k copies on opening week, like borderlands 3 did right now
It still hasnt sold 1 million sales yet
You honestly expect me to believe that? The fuck is wrong with you?
