Shit’s gone, bros.
It’s over. -
rockstar of david going FULL garden gnome.
will be funny to see them crawling back to steam in a couple years just like literally every other publisher that tries and fails to host their own steam "competitor".turns out paying for servers isn’t cheap lol
-
EGS is still going strong and probably won’t be dying anytime soon. Fortnite too stronk.
-
epic has never been a part of steam, and has tons of experience bc of unreal engine and its store. they make their money from unreal engine, not selling games on their own competitor
ubisoft is grifting off of tim. theyre not paying for their own store. uplay was never a serious steam competitor.
-

>he doesn’t know
Should we tell him?-
if you’re saying the disastrous epic games store makes more money than unreal engine licenses and assets i will be surprised
-
Look up Epic vs. Apple docs.
Majority of the money comes from Shitnite. EGS isn’t profitable. Unreal makes Timmy pennies compared to shitnite, around 100mil a year, when fortnite makes more than ten times of that.
Unity makes 7x of UE profits -
Prepare to be surprised
-
lmao that cherry picking. the battle showed that egs expects to lose about 140 million in 2021 and lost 270 million in 2020.
-
-
somehow, UE only makes like ~100m annual in revenue. doesn’t even cover their exclusivity deals.
-
People say “somehow” but UE’s license structure keeps getting laxer; no annual use fee, no money owed until you make $X, constant dumping of money on free assets to give away, buying up middleware tech to give away for free, etc.
Tim does this BECAUSE Fortnite is a bigger revenue source. Like EGS (except not stupid) he’s trying to use the money they’re making now to extend the reach of their more long-livable revenue streams so when Fortnite declines they’ll be in a more advantageous position. EGS probably won’t work but I think UE will; a time will come that he has such a headstart on Unity in terms of feature capacity and quality that when he flips the switch and starts taking money before the first million or whatever it is, he’ll be able to open up that revenue stream successfully

Tell him what? Are you under the impression that it’s free? It is, unless your game actually sells a decent amount, after that it’s not
-
Retard.

yeah a bunch of developers totally didnt remove their games from egs when the egs sale happened lmao totally not the same
-
-
You said the same about Ubisoft
-
>will be funny to see them crawling back to steam in a couple years
You do realize Rockstar still has other games on Steam. -
The allure of a 30% cut is too strong
-
they’re removing the games because they want people to buy their shitty remasters
-
Amazon new store will crush valves
-
-
It’s literally over.
-
just pirate it like a normal person fag
-
What do you mean? I still have my pirated copy and it’s not going anywhere
-
Can’t you guys figure out anything on your own?
-
Every time I’ve tried playing the PC version it’s run like absolute dogshit on 64-bit Windows. Like I’ll get softlocked in the gym during the beginning or shit like that. I ended up just playing the PS2 version just to avoid the headache.
-
-
Idk works on my machine
-
Now try buying it, retard.
-
why would i buy it twice?
-
Because that’s the point of the thread. You can’t buy it anymore, retard.
-
You can still buy keys that activate on Steam. You can still buy it on other platforms.
It’s literally a non-issue. -
You seem mad about not being able to buy a shitty old game that can still be pirated or bought physically or on GOG
Calm down -
Not my problem
-
-
-
-
Why would I buy something I already own? Retard.
-
-
-
Remember you only own it if you stole it
-
You still have it if you bought it on steam, you just can’t buy it anymore. They aren’t stealing the game off your account if you already bought it
-
-
Sooo do we get a discount on the remasters at least? I already own all the originals on steem
-
lol
-
lol
-
Hopefully not since you are a complete fucking idiot if you buy the remasters or even remotely look forward to them
-
Why do you think cuckstar went to their own spyware? Exactly to milk money from zooms and all the fanboys who won’t give a shit about loyalty discount.
-
-
now i have a rare game in my library pog
-
I wonder if this will even work anymore.
-
Steam gifts will work for sure. And now you have a thing that’ll cost more that what it was sold for
-
It should. Even when they delist stuff it should still be available to people who already bought it, they just can’t sell it to new customers anymore and probably wont be officially supported anymore.
-
-
That just makes it completely morally right to pirate, and it can be considered abandonware in court.
-
>and it can be considered abandonware in court.
lmao the state of american education
-
-
What are the chances the rereleases cost more?
-
100%
-
it will be the first 3 games for $70 + tax + tip
-
-
i got them years ago. it sucks that rockstar games did this/ every publisher has their own platform to make more money.
-
>their own platform
>their own store
Did I miss something? I thought garden gnomestar was just doing this because they wanted people to buy the collection.-
the rockstar launcher that opens when you play the new gtas is a store front itself. dunno if they will actually restrict it to it.
id imagine what they would do is still sell the game on steam but only allow ingame purchases of shark cards via a link that opens their own store front.
-
-
-
Are they doing it because “muh remasters” and/or their own store? Or are they doing it because it costs a fortune to keep licensing all that music ad infinitum and they’d rather sell the games without paying all those royalties?
-
oh no! not the shit mobile port!
-
And on this day the consumerist sheep got goaded into BUYING THE NEXT THING!!!! HORAAAAAAAH WE GET TO BUY ANOTHER THING AND FEED OUR ADDICTION WITH ANOTHER DOPAMINE HIT UPON CLLICKING PURCHASE!!!!! YEEEEEESSSSSSS
>pic related
>thats a real advertisement, and not the first to use that exact wording-
what are you even doing here grandpa?
-
-
so do the remasters actually make the game look nicer or does it just make it so I don’t need to go through the process of making San Andreas not look like shit every time I want to reinstall it
-
The latter plus censorship for the current year.
