Why did this store cause so much controversy? Was it literally just steam fanboys crying that their Monopoly was being challenged?

dead store outside of fortshite
check my 5
>Was it literally just steam fanboys crying that their Monopoly was being challenged?
Literally yes. Anyone who claims otherwise is either lying to you or themselves.
Steam built itself into an ecosystem and social network. People get uncomfortable thinking about playing a game outside of it.
ignore these homosexuals, the main reason why people rightfully shit on Epic is because Timmy thinks that holding games hostage on his store will make people want to switch over from Steam. Also
and
are correct as well
but valve built team by holding half life hostage to it.
valve built steam*
Not true, Half life was released for the PS2 and almost Dreamcast, Half Life 2 was released for PS3 and Xbox 360 along with CSGO, Team Fortress 2 and Portal Duology which recently was released for the switch
the console market is a different market but nice try
You are wrong again
Pure cope as usual
yes totally. espacially back then... frick off idiot.
You know I'm right, as if billy bob who played HL2 years after release was split between it's pc release kek
Why Fortnite and Unreal tournament isn't on steam and GOG
because the pc market is a single market with clients competing against each other, the console market is a different market not competing with the pc clients which is why console makers put their games on pc and pc put their games on console but make them exclusive to their clients.
Half life is on ps2. Half life 2 is on xbox. Steam got popular because of its features.
Ok Tim, why dont you release fortnite on steam since you dont like exclusive monopolies?
Well that's the secret you see, I don't like other companies having walled gardens, I only want myself to have one.
Half Life was their own creation so it's justifiable. If Timmy did the same thing with Fortnite and Unreal Tournament and didn't have all these deals with developers to have their games exclusive to his shitty store then i wouldn't be harsh on him. Don't forget when he bought out Rocket League and Fall Guys and got them taken off the steam store. Sounds like he's the only here taking hostages.
Not to mention the guy b***hes on twitter about the shit Apple does the entire time he's being a piece of shit by paying publishers to keep games off steam for 6-12 months.
>People get uncomfortable thinking about playing a game outside of it.
what never will be isnt going to worry me
>someone creates a storefront to sell game
Ok. Best of luck to you.
>later find out this same homosexual is spending big money to delay game releases on my preferred platform.
What the frick was his problem?
>controversy
>Was it literally just steam fanboys crying that their Monopoly was being challenged?
yes
清衝叮咚吃狗
+50 social credits for you, comrade.
>get a grip on rocket league
>had linux support
>now because its theirs it dosent
>yay.. more stores
Even tho im not a total fan of linux fedora turbogays, im also not a fan of how tim dawg is handling it.
no, the fact it's a worse shop than my mom's e-shop
>Was it literally just steam fanboys crying that their Monopoly was being challenged
Yep
I just really dislike the UI
>Exclusivity deals, metro in particular caused a lot of ill will towards it
>Tim said a lot of stupid shit like "it will be publishers not players that determine which storefront will win"
>Tim in general was a negative PR machine
>it felt extremely low effort and half-assed
>Youtubegays wanted to drum up drama for content and egs was their designated punching bag since b***hing about lootboxes was getting stale
is there a launcher that doesn't and never will have a social network? i'll be all for it in that case
Epic doesn't even have a chat even between people on your friends list
I don't want another launcher, simple as
its a temple of lies built on greed and corruption to devide the playerbase and try to turn a profit from it.
It was always about Tim trying to buy up games and create some kind of monopoly while paying developers to be exclusive to his platform. Fortunately every single dev that wasn't moronic saw Epic as being where shit games go to die, and shitty devs who knew they were shit cashed in on Tim being moronic. Now Timmy Tencent just buys you free games if you wait long enough for them to fall out of Steam and GoGs bargain bins.
It's because they made it very clear that they don't care about the opinions of their customers. Saying things like
>you already have the best store experience you're going to get
was an outright moronic take.
Also Timmy touts the store as some sort of hero saving gamers from Steam's evil monopoly, but his own anticompetitive practices like buying exclusivity has probably hurt the "little guys" like GOG more than Steam ever has.
I do not, I repeat, I do NOT want China spying on me. Simple as.
I have it installed instead of Steam, since Epic gives away free MP games sometimes.
I pirate everything else, I never understood how normalgays (/v/tards) can actually pay to rent single player games, literal cuck behavior
What will you do when Epic Games shuts down?
Nothing? I have like 2-3 MP games there that I stopped playing years ago.
God Battlefront 2 was shit
Oh right I forgot that in the LAND OF THE FREE you have to pay for for a VPN that sells your private information otherwise you get fined pffffHAAH HAHAHAHAHAHAH
kek, always sub human slavs, pale Black folk
If I'm a Black person you should kneel before me, as I am your god, and you are a mutt
Logic is sound. Unfortunately for you, that makes you a Black person.
Rather be a black kang, than considered "white" by israeli golems lmao
Why won't you rent another game, Steamie?
>black kang
black kang cumdump kek
>he got enticed by a black homosexual's sex fantasy that he became a homosexual himself
Oh no no aahahaha, mutts!
I will never pay to rent DIGITAL games on A LAUNCHER.
I will own everything and I will be happy
>manlet
>a Black person
can't stop winning kek
>he keeps going
Timmy, this isn't how you entice people to use your store.
Do us a favor and go get killed in the Ukraine meatgrinder already
Nah, kneel before me, Black personlover
>admits to being a Black person
Lol
Yes, I am your master now kneel
he does not know, leeches dont know. they just do whatever their wallet allows them to do. which isnt much.
Most of us aren't slavs
fortnite launcher.
Because tim sweeny is a chode who abandoned the PC market back in the 2000's and now he comes crawling back for our money.
I wanted to play Metro
Less than two weeks before release I was told I had to wait an entire fricking year before I could play it unless I downloaded that Chinese malware
I still havent played Metro 4 years later
Frick you OP you're a fricking Black person
cuz of the exclusivity bullshit being brought in to pc
It sucks ass to use. I don't care if you make a steam like launcher, just make sure it has the same fricking basic features
The only way for me to know what games I own on Epic Games Store is by downloading their app to my computer, frick that.
Because it's a shit store, Sweeney is a homosexual, and they tried to force people into using it by buying up unreleased games that people had already preordered for steam.
The metro bullshit alone is enough for me to never use the store, and I don't even play that series.
steam can literally never be challenged because there will never be another platform that lets you transfer your steam library to it (even if there's morons like me who don't mind starting a new steam account and throwing away their old libraries)
it'll only happen when steam dies
>so much controversy?
what controversy? the store sucks to use, and nothing sells on it.
Mostly because Tim Sweeney put his foot in his mouth twice a month.
>Drive to work every day for 10-15 years straight on the same road, road is decent enough never really considered using anything else because there really isn't anything else but you don't need anything else
>some dipshit comes and builds a big ass wonky flashy road next to the road you drive on every day, it goes to the same spot but sucks to drive on for a multitude of reasons
>mfw that same dipshit says I have brand loyalty or am seething about his road I did not ask for, do not use and did not care for when I did try to use it, have never mentioned outside being personally attacked by him
Different platforms having exclusivity is something we've experienced from the start and can accept as a thing that makes sense. When a company like EA or Ubisoft (or even valve for that matter when they started steam) locked their own games into different stores on one platform that was some bullshit and it sucks but it's their games, they own them. And then you have Tim Fricking Sweeney sauntering in, flashing his tainted fortnite money around and locking other people's games into his store and that's just a bridge too far.
>Missing basically every single major feature Steam had
>Didn't even have a CART function for what 8-10 months after they said they wanted to compete against Steam
>Pays devs for exclusivity (Only death sentences said games)
Gee I wonder why?
Unironically Fortnite and Slime Rancher are good and Slime is on Steam now
Rocket League basically went there to die
STOP ARGUING PC BROS SHOULD UNITE
stupid anime poster
ah sweet, a paid shill thread!
They claimed to fight against monopolies and such, while using extremely aggressive monopoly tactics (and having basically a monopoly in graphics engines).
They're basically a bunch of hypocrites full of shit.
I did bought a DLC from them in their store btw, so I did spent some money on them (plus letting them see all my personal shit and sell it at the moment I installed their store)
