no steam, no buy
Alan Wake 2 would probably not happen if it was not for Epic though.
yea steam is just a parasite leeching off game devs they provide nothing of value
This but unironically
do you think bandwidth is free?
PC is an open market everyone if free to make their own game shop
He's being a nonce on purpose mate. Just ignore it.
it's awesome that Apple will have 3rd party launchers soon
I'm sure that wouldn't have happened without Epic tho
That was an EU thing, but timmy will take credit, regardless
>I HECKIN' LOVE SUCKING GABE'S israelite wiener OM NOM NOM
I'm a pirate you moron
So why are you sucking on Gabe's DRM store's dick?
just saying PC is a free open market , everyone is free to do what the FRICK they want
nothing more
if people want to use Steam,GoG, EGS,Origin , OnLive or whatever
it is up to the individual
No one is forced to use it
And the video explains why that's horseshit, and everyone knows it.
I'd rather have Epic create their own games once again than sponsor ESG crap
But no they would rather delete their legacy games as they did with Unreal Tournament, making them impossible to play legaly, meanwhile Valve released a free 25th year anyversary for the game that put them on the map
And there you go, worshipping Gabes israelite peen again.
stating facks, meanwhile you're evolving gills to breathe with all the deep throating you're doing
where's Gears of War 2 and 3 on PC
where can I buy Unreal Tournament?
they're not on EGS
Literally all Epic did in the past few years was
>piss off PC market
>demonstrate their own failing business model
>sue other corps and reveal they're literally no different
Epic funding game development is at least a step forward. If only they used that money to make a better store, maybe I'd actually buy it.
They have no excuse for the launcher to be as shitty as it is, fricking GoG Galaxy is leagues better with a company having a fraction of the budget to work with.
I'm still convinced that Epic is just doing things with no thought hoping it all works in the end.
Which platform can I say words and not have my games stolen?
bittorrent
The same one I have to turn to not only when I don't want to buy a game, but when I actually do want to buy one and the owning company in question won't fricking sell me it for israeli reasons.
Yeah it's easy to gain access to 132 million customers.
If they provide nothing of value, why are people still using the service? I'm not talking about just the customers either, why are devs using Steam? There are other options.
Might be better that way.
That just makes me hate Epic even more.
I'm sick of hearing about it so I wish that were the case
An acceptable loss.
Alan Wake did not need a sequel.
Probably the one good thing EGS has going for it. Epic is now actually funding games and making private deals with big studios, the exclusivity is justified.
Another good reason to hate that shitty company.
no loss there
Bull fricking shit, Control did decent enough, every game they make has a bigger budget than the last, with some being entirely new Ops
>Bu this sequel to a beloved cult classic totally wouldn't of happened, there's just no way!
Frick off, and I have a Xbox not even on PC
Remedy was doing just fine without Epic, must've offered them some real good money to make it a EGS exclusive.
source?
Tim Won
Tim fricked up
Most likely they shopped around and Epic threw ridiculous amount of money at them.
>lets make a game but we can't do it unless someone gives our publisher a large amount of money up front
Sounds like a shit idea for a project
the thing is Alan Wake 2 would have to be good for this to be a point in their favor
no epic, no alan wake
no nintendo, no bayonetta 2
etc, etc
just get an ad gabe, it's not that expensive on fricking Ganker of all places 🙂
why every epic exclusive is shit?
Does it?
Cool, I'll buy it on console one day.
How much money did Tim give Geoff for this bullshit award?
Not even a single shekel chud.

Did he really use his speech to suck Epic's dick off? Lmao
He intentionally ties and wears his tie like that but I do not find it aesthetic. Off center and not a Windsor knot.
It's pretty close to how Max uses his tie in 2.
Cravats look way better than ties but you can't wear one without looking like a steampunk queer.
Sad!
This. Epic Games is revolutionized the gaming industry. They're focus is on satisfying the customers always and never failed to deliver. They charitable give away FREE games all the time unlike Steam greediness stingy. Epic Games is even friendly to our favorite developers, taking smaller % the profits than the Steam. Basically, Epic Games is a win win for everyone involved. I just hope the Steam customers eventually awaken to see the greed and poor quality of Steam as sooner possible.
Poo in the loo.
>They charitable give away FREE games
I have 183 games in my EGS library, paid for none of them, and never launched or installed a single one.
183 games suppose average is $20 for each one. $20 X 183 is over $3000!!! So just by going to Epic Games you can receive over $3000. When will Steam ever done such a thing? There is no reason to turning down $3000 for FREE. Even I am rich man I still won't say no to free money. The correct choice is clear.
I sure wish I could overcome the mental blocks that prevent me from spewing fouls shitposts like this one. It would be so hilarious.
valve is greedy for
>adding linux support
>adding the workshop
>adding compatibility layers for vr system
>adding support for all types of gaming controllers
>easy online functionality for devs, Steamworks shit
>providing free forums and platforms for developers and users alike
>designing systems for improving visibility of lesser-known titles, recommending you games
Valve has most definitely lost money on adding some of these things but they did it anyway.
I agree. But this only can scratch the surface for why Steam is a greedy company. I could add 1000 things to your list and still have many ideas. Hopefully soon the poor Steam customers can awaken and see what kind the shit company greedy bastard company is Steam.

what makes you think it's chinese? O.o
Because China half owns Epic.
>half
isn't it like 40%?
isn't like every american company already "owned" by china now? why do you care about china? did they rape you or something? lol
and what does it invest? more launchers?
Movie game bullshit for manchildren that don't want to feel like manchildren.

Give me one reason steam is better for indie devs that doesn't mention muh install base. You can't.
>Charges 12% for indie devs
12% of 0 is still zero. Unless you managed to pay off a eceleb or journalist for exposure, indies ain't selling shit on EGS
>Promotes new games even from unknown devs
Their discovery options were shit even before they opened the floodgates to all the shovelware. Can't imagine what it's like now
>Let's everyone use Unreal Engine
Yeah, and no one can optimize for shit with it
Because if your indie game gets even a little traction it gets a huge boost to viability since Valve actually has built in tools just for that, if you compare that with Epic it only gets viability on launch and falls through the cracks with no promotions.
The sad thing is most platforms most do a terrible job actually promoting your game unless you pay or are connected to the platform owner.
This is flat-out true.
The fact is that Unreal Engine is a better choice than Unity, and Epic provides a ton of support. With Unity, your indie game will look like GTFO at best, and Lethal Company at worst. With Unreal Engine, at best you can have A Hat in Time or Stray, at worst you get PUBG.
It still is gonna depend on the developer, using UE or Unity isn't magically make their game better or worse since both have pros and cons depending on what your aiming to do.
this sounds good on paper but in practice
>cheaper store front
>unity basically makes your game for you
>less audience
all these traits combined draw in the crypto scammer crowd the next generation of nft shovelware
>cripto!!!
>nft!!!
>always online!!!
you can make those games with any engine thou...
but you can't put them on steam lmao
>yeah I was wrong... but what about this!!!
don't care, I'm not a store warrior lol
Does Valve makes Unity? No? Then why are we talking about Unity?
>noooo you can't bring up unreal engine!!
>valve doesn't have a competitive engine, so you can't compare the 2 stores by mentioning unreal engine!!!!!!
lol
yep. steam and unity are both awful options for indie options. they're so bad yet inexplicably 90% of the indie devs prefer to use them over epic + unreal. it can't be that they are actually better for their projects. the only reasonable explanation is that they are stupid and don't know what's good for them
>90% of indie games release on steam
Well yeah. They have to. Its a monopoly.
its not
Steam
>has a customer base which spends money
Epic
>lol no
i literally bought a game on epic 2 weeks ago, what are you on about bruv?
>t. Wolfire dogfricker
GoG for retro games, Steam for good games, and piracy for anything inbetween. Best combo, makes indians upset and shitposters shit more posts.
investing implies you get any money in return
Remember when epic abandoned pc gaming all those years ago and only came back after seeing how successful steam was?
>gets investment from rockstar to make his games

how does he do it? How does he convince all these corporations to give him money?
You see him, right? Absolutely exuding mad charisma, dude.
how is epic competing with steam, better prices? no. better service? no
>but muh game devs
dgaf, i'm the consumer, not a dev
Why is game £40 on epic store and £50 on psn?

buy an ad timmy
why would I buy an ad on Ganker gabe? don't tell me you do that? you don't right?
of course not, they shill me for free
indeed we are, an army of homosexuals to shill steam and epic, haha imagine being one of those losers lmao
whenever someone posts this webm i can never stop watching it. really fascinating a human being will cook animal shit and eat it. i know chinks will eat flavored rocks and fried bugs but even the asiatics wont fry feces.
same, i'm also fascinated by that video of the police dude kneeling on the face of the alleged black robber who kept screaming "i can't breathe!" lol
Epic actually invests in blackwashing.
I still haven't installed the Epic Game store, Timmy, and I never will.
>le funny face man
Frick Epic
Frick Tim Swindler
Okay, there's no doubt there were worse alternatives, but the amount of ball lifting from steam cultists is insane. Like frick yeah valve stopped microsoft from cornering the PC market and all it took was forcing a closed source store and DRM on everyone. They even popularized loot boxes which are cancer.
Steam doesn't even have good sales anymore.

No, they invest in creating tools like you, OP
I would like one game launcher for my game collection and since my operating system isn't allowed to have that job I'll go with the marketplace that seems competent. For all the complaints about Steam
>they charge too much
>they're too big (and this is a problem only because of the above)
>they're too popular - I launched my game with zero marketing today and nine other games launched today too
None of them are about shady business dealings, or political conflict (rarely muh Black folk plz ban), or technical issues (their servers stopped crashing years ago). Basically
>I'm sad because I chose to partner with a successful well run company and the $100 dollars I made off indie 2d platform bonanza had a 20% cut from steam instead of a 40% cut from the long list of other companies that were used to put games in gamestop before steam was invented
the biggest complaints about steam boil down to hating it because every other store marketplace sucks giga ass.
oops
you know existed before Steam? Bill.
Bill was ex-air force and would try to sell your games to local game stores around the country one by one and all he wanted for it was about half of the stake in the company

is he going to a funeral?
