Steam is bad because you actively seek approval from other Steam users? Get a life. Most Steam users ignore that stuff. You don't have to look at other people's profiles. You don't have to let random strangers see your profile either. Imagine actually treating Steam like a social network and then complaining about it. LOL

sorry for not being entirely gramatically correct on the internet also, retard.

I for one cannot fucking wait to get away from windows, and the problems its given me over the years.

Steam is the only reliable place where it makes hassle free Linux gaming possible. Nearly 90% of my library works in steam proton. The problems are caused by DRM issues.

If you're concerned about free games then pirate. It's more convenient. The amount of free games on Steam is at least ten times larger than Epic's entire library.
Purchasing exclusive rights to sell a game is not competition. It's preventing competition. Competition involves selling the same products. This means companies compete with one another over the quality of the services they provide which is how it benefits customers. Taking choices away from customers is the opposite of beneficial.
What people do on their profiles has no effect on you whatsoever.

You need to come up with legitimate reasons to be in love with the Epic store. If this is the best you can come up with, which I suspect it is, you're going to get called out for shitposting every single time. Without fail. There needs to be some semblance of logic or grain of relevant truth in order to be taken seriously. Epic is not superior by any metric unless you're zooming in so far you're ignoring all context.

>retard believes lackluster profiles are a feature
LMAO, you chinks are something else. Will you make an argument for how cloud saves are actually a bad thing too?

So you're mad that you don't get to trade with people (which is a lie because nobody gives a fuck about your profile), which is a feature that Epic doesn't even have to begin with.

>imagine caring more about the fucking store than the actual games

I care about not installing chinese malware on my system, yes

yeah ok you are either retarded or this is the weakest bait ive ever seen

You're complaining about the retarded internet politics of trading Team Fortress 2 hats with autistic manchildren on Steam, and claiming that Epic is better because of it, but Epic doesn't have item trading at all. So clearly the solution is, like I said, just to ignore all that shit. Did it not occur to you that you could get the experience you want simply by not trading items? You're the one who decided to reach out to random strangers to trade virtual goods. And you could just not do that. But yeah, if you need to be literally FORCED not to do it, then go ahead and use Epic.

2 social credit points have been added to your account.

I don’t love it or hate it. I appreciate it because more popular stores means more competition and better deals for the consumer.

Imagine having loyalty to a digital games distribution network lmao.

It would be competition if the stores sold the same games at the same time. Let me know when Epic starts doing that and we'll see what the competition is really like.

A store that sells tires and a store that sells light bulbs are not competing with one another in any sense but a general separate business context. That's the divide you are creating when you have two businesses that are selling completely different products. They are both digital games distributors, but one of them is actively angling for exclusive rights to sell a certain product. For that product these companies are not competing. Avoiding competition is the point. It's what makes exclusivity viable in the first place because when you control the supply you can reap the profits.

You need to understand there's a difference between both businesses being digital distributors and both businesses selling the same products. One business is doing whatever it can to sell different products. That's avoiding competition. Is this in any way unclear to you?

You know full well there is a difference between sniping exclusivity and funding first-party titles from day-1. If Epic wants to create new games by all means they're free to do that and sell those games exclusively on their store. That's not a problem. That's good business. They take the risks. They get all the rewards. But swooping in and picking up promising games when they're almost done negative affects customers who want more options. If it was really Epic's goal to give customers more options they would not have any third-party exclusive titles.

NOOOOO DONT LIKE TIM IF YOU LIKE HIM HE WONT MAKE GAMES OR GET EXCLUSIVES!!!! REEEEE YOUR DESTROYING EPIC BY SUCKING OFF TIMS MICRODICK

You're ignoring the point. Nobody has a problem with Epic existing and selling games. They have a problem with the forced exclusivity. If Epic just sold the same games Steam did nobody would give a damn. They would just choose which storefront they prefer and everyone would win.

Their taking the risks by paying their money to gain exclusivity rights for a game that may or may not sell. You don’t think the devs and studios have the right to enter into business arrangements with a party of their choosing, which is communism. Steam is entitled to the rights to every PC game ever made.

>steamcucks are 12yo
makes sense now

Sorry, meant
>Steam is not entitled

Linux is perfect for steam users, a 0.5% install base for a platform used by 0.5% of gamers.

They're not taking risks. They're only offering exclusive deals to developers and publishers who have made a game that is guaranteed to at least make them their investment back. You're lying if you think this process is done randomly with no regard to ROI. I'm not saying what they're doing is illegal. It's a monopolistic business practice but still technically legal.

Imagine if Steam were doing this. Imagine if Steam bought the exclusive rights to sell all PC video games. No other storefront could exist. That would result in a monopoly because the act of preventing other businesses from selling the products they rely on being able to sell to remain in business is a monopolistic act. Epic is performing that act right now as we speak. Valve is not. This act directly removes customer choice. You are supporting an act that goes against your own interests.

Pirating is free too. You don't even need launcher for it. There is no moralfag argument against pirating a free game.
>Most triple A games are coming out on it, because EG know how to offer a competition to steam.
Buying exclusives isn't competition. It is rude.
When it comes to AAA games with microtransactions and "surprise mechanics", I will gladly avoid them. Still, if you like AAA games that Tencent buys exclusivity for, I kinda understand, so I give you that. Supporting Chinese government is quite questionable, but I won't moralfag about that to you.

TL;DR:
First point is irrelevant when interacting with 99% of population, second point is pointless and third point is arguable and mostly supports Chinese government which is questionable.

This is literally the Steamfag dream though.

More stores mean more competition. If they pay to have a monopoly on a product that’s their right.

Tim Sweeney wouldn’t win, because nobody would use the EGS.

You're running away from my point. Steam isn't doing that. Epic is trying to.

>More stores mean more competition
Stores selling different things are not competing. Intentionally preventing other stores from selling what you are permitted to sell is avoiding competition.

>If they pay to have a monopoly on a product that’s their right.
Wrong. I just told you precisely why it's wrong. You're not listening. Taken too far it would result in an actual monopoly which is actually, literally, factually illegal because monopolies are horrible for customers.

>Intentionally preventing other stores from selling what you are permitted to sell is avoiding competition.
It’s literally the foundation of business you godless communist.

>Steam
30%
>Epic
12%

This is why everyone should be using EGS when possible, to help the industry instead of dumping nearly 20% of their purchase price into a company that spends more time bending the knee to trannies and chinks than it spends creating games, and even when it does work on game content, it's entirely loot box gambling and microtransactions. Based GabeN!

>monopolies are horrible for customers.

Steam have had a monopoly for well over a decade though.

Wrong. Competition involves selling the same product and competing over customers. I literally just explained to you why preventing your so called "competition" from doing business is a monopolistic business practice. Running them out of business by being really fucking good at selling shit is not a monopolistic business practice because the act of being really good at selling shit is good for customers. Taking customer choice away is not good for customers.

Steam had no such thing. You do not get to arbitrarily decide what constitutes a monopoly. It is a very specific term and also incredibly illegal. If Steam were found to be in violation of monopoly laws they would be getting fined every single day and regulation would be coming down on them constantly. That isn't happening. No government in the world considers Steam a monopoly. You disliking Steam doesn't change the facts.

Wrong. Business making exclusivity deals are good for the company and good for the consumer.

Customers aren't seeing any of the benefits from this. Give customers a reason to change their behavior and they will. This is not a legitimate reason for customers.

Dormammu, I've come to bargain

>and good for the consumer.
Explain why you think having less choices for where you can buy games is good for you. As a customer.

Steam aren’t entitled to release every PC game on the market. If the developers made an arrangement with Epic, that’s just because Steam didn’t offer them a better deal.

This is the only place I ever see Epic shitposting. The only ones I ever see defending them legitimately are actual devs on Twitter since they're the ones who benefit from it. Everyone here is just shitposting faggots and you fucks need to STOP FUCKING REPLYING TO THEM THEY DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU SAY THEY'LL JUST RESPOND WITH MORE SHITPOSTING TO CIRCLE THE RESPONSES ENDLESSLY. GOD FUCK

Attached: 1518064622886.png (662x590, 543K)

The developers have the choice of where to release them and how they can best maximise their profits. This leads to better games

If publishers want their 88% deal with Epic to generate actual sales, then they should convince Epic to bring their bare-bones platform up to speed with the competition in terms of features that have become standard almost everywhere, instead of just trying to cancel Steam releases.

>Steam aren’t entitled to release every PC game
They don't. They don't prevent other companies from selling PC games.

>that’s just because Steam didn’t offer them a better deal.
Stores shouldn't be doing this in the first place. That's the point.

You need to come up with a real argument. I'm addressing everything you're saying and outright refuting it with logical points. You're unable and unwilling to address my points. Your opinion is wrong if you cannot defend it with logic.

I do the same but I missed most of these. is it possible to still claim any of the old ones?

Your logic is flawed though. More stores means more competition and better returns for the developers.

Selling games everywhere maximizes profits. Epic intentionally refuses to sell games unless those publishers agree to exclusivity. They need to cut these publishers a check to mitigate these potentially lost sales due to not being on every platform.

Do you get that? If selling ONLY on the Epic store resulted in more people buying the games then Epic wouldn't have any reason to give money to the publishers. But since they do it stands to reason that games sell worse when only on one store. If a publisher or developer were really concerned about making better games they would be cultivating more customers; not taking a check.

I've seen retards defending Epic on f-list too. Idiots really fall for the 12% cut half-lie.

Stores selling the same products are competing. Stores selling different products are not competing.

Describe to me why you disagree with this if you disagree with this. You cannot claim that Epic and Steam are competing if you ignore the fact that Epic is preventing Steam from selling certain games and thereby avoiding competition.

More stores is better IF this introduction of a new store gives customers more choices. THIS IS NOT GIVING CUSTOMERS MORE CHOICES. It's angling to take away customer choices. And you're acting surprised when legitimate customers don't like their hands being forced?

>THIS IS NOT GIVING CUSTOMERS MORE CHOICES
It literally is though you just said so in your previous paragraph.

What’s advantageous to developers/publishers and what’s advantageous to consumers are not the same. In fact, they are typically at odds with one another.

Are you looking out for your own best interests or are you a cuck to publishers?

The presence of games being coerced or bribed into being exclusively sold in a single store is anti-competitive. This results in less choices FOR THAT PRODUCT. Customers don't appreciate companies putting their fucking fingers on the scale and taking away their choices EVEN FOR INDIVIDUAL PRODUCTS.
