Except somehow providing proof or numbers for it.

THQ quarter report is one example steam drone (coffee stain section), pic related an example for interviews

Are you really this retarded with this pathetic attempt at baiting. Go back to your circlejerk subreddit dumpster that you came from you fucking retard.

>Steam may have more users and games, but we have less users and less games therefore making us the superior platform

I don't know, user. I can't predict a future that won't happen.

Just kill yourself already and don't reply to me ever again worthless trash

Fuck off faggot

In other words:
>"The fewer people that use our store are playing the fewer games we have, which makes our games more active"
I could probably make the same argument for the fucking Bethesda launcher.

This is your typical indie game,

>tfw you lived long enough to see that cancer that is steam slowly wither away
I'd take the aids that is egs any day if this means steam finally goes where it always belonged: in the trash. keep seething, you mentally ill incels

Explain how EGS taking over is better for you? Unless you're microsoft I can't see what you're gaining.

What. That’s a pretty shit answer.
>(made up numbers)
>Steam as 100,000 games and 10 million active users
>EPS has 1000 games and 100,000 users
>they have to covert 100 times as many EPG users as Steam users for the unit sales to be the same

Epic must be giving devs a fat pay check for it to make any financial sense. Any EPG exclusives I’ll just pirate so I don’t care what these developers do.

I don't think steam could fit while you're hanging out in there.

>we have no games
>therefore our user/game ratio is higher
Brilliant

>Epic store and CONSOLE LAUNCH

So in other words they haven’t proved shit.

Thanks Tim

So what did you think of Borderlands 3?

Not even worth a pirate mate. I may go for Outer Worlds later, but it will be a buggy piece of shit on launch so might as well wait even longer.

How about some numbers, Tim?

I would like to know what the active user count is if you take away the users with only free games

>We have less people and less games, and here's why that's a good thing
He's lost his mind, hasn't he?

how do they think that anyone believes there are 10 million people playing fucking dauntless

I think the point is that those 'active users' are people playing the games he's talking about. Steam has shit numbers for new games because they advertise the same AAA tripe that goes on sale every other week and new games get no love besides some tab you have to click 3 times for. who the fuck bothers? EGS has nogaems at the moment so by virtue of that it's going to have people buying everything it does have and playing it. I would be surprised if there's games on egs that have like 300 sales, but I know games on steam that have double digit sales.

Only reason steam is worth defending is because they allow anime tittie games.

Gabe is a lazy fat fuck and they've done nothing for the industry with that 30% steam cut they rake in with every sale.

He gave millions....

>Ratio of active players to available games
How is this relevant to the debate? Its comparing apples and oranges since steam has been basically an open marketplace for years and has a bajillion games on it for that reason.
If you'd instead look at new games purchased/downloaded/played per active player the epic store is nowhere since they lack the depth of content to even compete.

Sweeney is literally trying to topple the homogeneous tyranny of Steam and its forcefully controlled policies and market that actively hinder development and creative freedom and are never, ever under any pressure to change, adapt, or enforce pro-consumer policies as having stranglehold on the market gives them absolute power. At bare minimum Tim is trying to pressure Steam with healthy competition, potentially forcing Valve's hand to improve their service and platform. Left unchecked, Valve have authority to do whatever they want whenever they want to whoever they want, and customers in this instance always suffer. It's no different to Disney's growing control over film and television. Single entity markets are an awful idea and bad for both creators and customers, and only good for shareholders and corporate hierarchy.

Sweeney has bankrolled a number of games that will now ensure these middling, B-economic developers can still produce their titles with complete creative control. It's a hands-off approach. Do you think Valve would have ever done this? No. Valve would let them release on the store, then bury the product under literally 1000s of trash Chinese games and microtransaction games-as-a-service titles.

People need to get the fuck off Valve's dick. They're not good for the industry, for anyone, if left unchecked. Sweeney's work is good and pure and benefits everyone.

>low iq steamlets
He's saying that 100 users exposing to 10000 low quality games is worth less than 50 users exposed to 1000 quality games.

I didn't expect the dumbest board on the site to understand, and now you force be to side with him just to explain what he means because you're that retarded.
He's saying that due steam taking in all the garbage, from broken slav unity games to low effort rpg maker games, the barrage of garbage and le maymay games drowns out the few decent ones so users have a much harder time discovering gems.
That said, Epic store holds mostly garbage too, but at a far smaller number, so the ratio balances out a bit more.

the player numbers are still the most confusing thing to me about the epic store
if there really are so many people playing these games, why am I barely hearing anything about epic store exclusives? Dauntless is a shameless rip off of Monster Hunter World, and you expect me to believe it's got 5 times the players that MHW does on steam?
