Except Tim used to make a big stink how it wasn’t just about the money but giving the consumer a fair market and multiple choices to purchase from. Now he’s flagrantly trying to insert himself into every platform like the moronic crybaby on the playground forcing the adults to make the other kids play with him.
He's just jealous that other companies were more successful than him like Valve, but rather than trying to compete fairly, he's asking the courts to let him win.
He's literally like a child complaining to their parent that their sibling is playing with a toy which he originally didn't want.
Epic has only made money from the Unreal engine for most of its existence, with the exception of its very early years, and the relative blip in time when Fortnite was extremely popular and profitable.
the last big thing I ever saw about fortnite was that one kid that traded his soul..ninja(?) and mad a shit load of cash when that failed streamer service from microsoft(?)..failed
Yeah, he made an exclusivity deal with Microsoft to stream on their service, then it went breasts up and he kept the money. Same thing is about to happen again with a different company.
Fortnite has been floundering pretty hard because the new seasons suck and the new skins are ESG fueled nonsense that no one wants. They made money when they were selling coomer skins, but now that is forbidden. Their latest season was pretty popular because it was a throwback season to the first chapter of Fortnite, but I don't think that will last unless they change course and start putting good skins out again.
Fortnite makes like 2-3 billion a year while Unreal is around 100 million a year, the store brought in about 42 million last year and the rest don't bring in a lot. So Fortnite is like 99% of their revenue .
No but after a certain point a platform doesn't deserve more and more money just for the privilege of existing. Server infrastructure isn't getting scarcer. The features are already developed. We could give 100% of our rev to Steam so they can dividend it all into executive bank accounts with zero reinvestment. Or we could give ten percent, and with Valve's economy of scale they'd have more than enough money to keep running and innovating as long as they don't self sabotage. Then that money could go to the people who actually develop the damn product for real reinvestment. In Randy's case he's just a rich b***h who wants more Fortnite bux, but that 30% isn't a Randy tax. Everyone pays it to make Gabe richer without reinvestment because his platform has the privilege of existing without real competition.
>Everyone pays it to make Gabe richer without reinvestment because his platform has the privilege of existing without real competition.
It's not Valve's fault the competition is incompetent.
Just make your own platform to host Fortnite. With Apple, sure you have to go through the app store, but can't you make your own store and direct people to for Android and Windows?
>Everyone pays it to make Gabe richer without reinvestment because his platform has the privilege of existing without real competition.
Then why does steam keep getting updated with useful new features?
It was already running the show when curators were added.
When the workshop was added.
When the holiday events in the client were added.
When the extra profile features got added.
Steam's seen so little competition because Gabe is continuing to put money into it and making it harder and harder to catch up.
They just updated SteamVR at the end of October, adding built-in functionality to support wireless/stand-alone VR like the Meta Quest headsets. So that's another instance of Valve updating shit that doesn't really benefit them (though maybe that is just part of their plan to support the Deckard, who knows).
>just for the privilege of existing
There is maintenance cost for the servers and internet bandwidth.
How much do you think Valve pays to their ISP for their server internet connections?
That's how business works. You work under someone, and they give you some of the profit you created. You'd think a CEO would get that.
I wonder what percentage Tim is taking from his employees
Pretty sure that wasn't the ruling. He can now just convince Android phone manufacturers to bundle EGS and/or Fortnite on their phones, and Google can't go around paying people off and threatening companies to force them to not work with Epic (or anyone else).
Joke's on Timmy. If they can't profit from it's inclusion on their stores, they do not have to allow it on the store at all. If he somehow wins this against Apple, then Apple will just ban it from the store. Valve already doesn't have it on Steam, nor will they ever.
It was funny because Tim tried to demand they let him on Steam for free before. And Gabe's response was basically "Cool, so we can put our stuff on your store for free too then?" And Tim immediately dropped the lawsuit.
What’s funny is no matter how this case goes it’s just leads to them saying they’re allowed to have their own launcher on phones.
Is he gonna try to put the epic store on Steam?
>open store >sell games >guy that makes games comes to your store and ask if you want to sell his game there >say ok, as long as you take a percentage of the profit >he gets mad that you're not going to give him all the money from the sale despite it being your store
No store sells all games though. More like your store in incredibly popular and someone saw that and gets mad when you're not going to sell their game there "for free" (as far as they're concerned)
>open store in town >other guy wants to open a store of his own >bribe the local cops to prevent him from opening his store >get upset the other guy takes it to a federal court
It's literally the reason why Epic won against Google and not against Apple. Google went full moronic and started paying android phone manufacturers so that they wouldn't put the epic store on their phones.
does that mean i can put my game on EGS and not ever have to give timothy a cut (outside of the fact it'd get 0 sales) >NO!
oh, okay, so its a rules for thee not for me kinda thing...!?
The reason he won against Google was because Epic was trying to make deals with phone manufacturers to have Fortnite preinstalled on them, but Google was going around behind their back and threatening the manufacturers if they went through with it (this is obviously a huge no-no).
Timmy must be forgetting that he already went after Apple over the 30% cut thing (a completely different case) and he got humiliated and lost.
>what are they even going for here?
They are trying to bribe phone manufacturers to have Fortnite pre-installed on their phone (bypassing app stores)
It turns out Google is now trying to blackmail those some phone manufacturers into not making these deals with Epic
suing globohomosexual big tech companies seems based. does GankeralvetendoGAF only hate him because he's contesting the heckin wholesome big chungus roundboi's 30% claim to fortnite?
Your mistake is thinking I think either of the companies involved are "less bad." I'm happy to see them both wasting money in moronic lawsuits.
Never rank evils.
>globohomosexual big tech companies
Tim rubs his little man clit every night to the thought of becoming a globohomosexual big tech company. I can only hope they both lose.
iirc when he was selling on the appstore while bypassing apple it was a bit cheaper, but it wasn't 30% cheaper so they were making even more money in the end
Since fortnite is still a big thing it makes sense to attempt something like this, greed is good while you're up high, until company to company privateering happens to happen.
>we'll get fortnite on Steam
So he wants to suicide the EGS? The only place where fortnite can be downloaded on PC? And the only thing people download aside from UE?
Reminder that Tim Sweeney, prior to the statement he'd "love to put Fortnite on the Steam Deck, but we don't have the developers for it" bought out the third party developer directly involved in helping Valve port games over to the OS, this included the Linux version of Rocket League. He then shut down this studio and canned the native Linux version of Rocket League.
I never tried fartnite or that other one I just remember tip-top lulz because the cars had working horns so people not only stream sniped, they top-hooooooooonked on popular streams
it was fricking hilarious and caused much salt.
I'm almost forty and I played it for a long time because my non-gamer friends from high school could play it with me on their phone, and they already had a vested interested in playing it because they played it with their kids.
>why the frick did fortnite go from "lmao kiddy zoomer moron game" to every single fricking 20-30 year old I know playing it?
Because they were 10-20 when it came out.
Russianbadger made a video recently that sums up why I started playing it. I hate to put it to an eceleb to say why better than I could, but he does.
If I gotta say it, then it is the sheer amount of bullshit collabs makes it hilarious to be a dick with emotes while running around as any number of videogame characters I already like.
Boomers are weak.
They are too accustomed to respawn button.
"If you died once you didn't actually beat the game" makes entitled boomers piss and shit themselves.
>They are too accustomed to respawn button.
What paint are you huffing? Boomers are the ones that sat waiting for rounds to end with team deathmatch games like Counter-Strike.
If he wins, it will set a prescendent and other devs can follow. Frick Apple, frick Steam, and frick Epic as well. They're all predators, so I want to see them eat each other. Go go go!
The greed is insane. What could you possibly get in this life with that much monoply money? They can't take it with them when they die and the rest will be squandred away by family within a generation.
Takes his 30% despite not needing it all to run the website or service but its okay because you can ERP on steam and change your pfp to furry hitler porn.
I think that's the point, they are all billionaires and still want more. What the frick is Gabe doing with a fleet of ships? Giving tours for the homeless or shitting on a different ship every week because he can?
When people are the point where they protect giga corporations that are charging them more for digital than a physical copy of something, AND make them sign to teh fact that they do not actually OWN said games, those people are basically stupid.
> Muh steam! > Muh Apple! > Muh Epic!
You people are stupid. They are the reason gaming is going to shit you dumb homosexuals.
> But GabeN!
Charges more depnding on some imaginary "quality of life" index, so we for example pay 17% more on the dollar than the US. So... does that mean Gabe pay my nation more tax seeing as he is richer too?
Of course not. In fact he pays less.
Fricking filthy greedy fat israelite. All the dudes who run these companies are. And look at you all. Eating their asses like it was candy. Truth is, you are the most pathetic people of all. And they exploit you because of it.
nice, ty for that info, I guess it's time to start reading up about it. >proud iphone 8 enjoyer >i probably will not be able to do this unless I jailbreak, if that is even still a thing
It's going to be hilarious how passive aggresive Apple will be when you sideload an app or store and are permanently presented with popup warnings and 14 different confirmations everytime you do anything with said app or store.
I played a few seasons of Apex years ago, but I can't ever see myself sticking to it. I feel like the moment something else more profitable for EA comes along they'll shut the servers down without giving a flying frick how much time anyone has put into it.
Anyone else surprised with the music they add into festival? I expected mumble rap, but we actually got this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsFE8uesD6M
>we'll put fortnite on any store without 30% fee
ok, lets check:
Playstation, xbox, and nintendo have 30% cut: they have fortnite.
Microsoft store (PC) has the same cut as EGS, itch lets the dev set a 0% cut if they want: no fortnite.
Why does timmy love lying? what's even the point of lying like this? what does it earn him other than contempt? why not just shut up?
its earnings based
0-10mil-50mil | 30%-25%-20% are the thresholds
before they locked those down iirc, devs had the chance to negotiate different cuts depending on their success/likely success
but some indie dev threw a shit fit and they stopped doing that
He talks out his ass because he has a hero complex that makes him the savior to gamers and developers but only on the surface and anyone in the know sees through his bullshit.
He already lost against Apple, kek. The EU is forcing apple to allow sideloading and third party app stores within the EU starting march 2024 so he'll just act like he's won the US case
I can see him self fellating that he was the one responsible for that EU decision.
I genuinely think this man is trying to play 3D chess in his head to be able to sell his games on stores and for the store to make no money on it
When MS tried to pull some bs with the windows store both Gaben and Timmy freaked but they went different directions. Gaben pivoted to Linux as a backup plan and Tim went directly to MS and lobbied against it. Both of them won that battle but now Timmy is going for mobile too.
Because he needs more money to keep fortnite and the epic store a float as long as possible do you think he gets all these popular ips and games for free. If fortnite stops making money a lot of skins are going to start to be removed.
>I MUST BE ALLOWED TO LEECH FROM YOUR PLATFORM WITHOUT PAYING YOU A FEE >What? Hosting your game on EGS without paying me a fee? Fricking nonsense, pay up you moronic leech
Commoners like you and me hate corps cuz they do butthole things. Tim hates corps cuz they curb him from also doing butthole things.
Damn right spreading fortnite around is an butthole thing.
Separate app stores are good, walled gardens are bad. What Google was doing was particularly bad, and very illegal. I still don't like Timmy though, and I'm still not going to shop on EGS.
That's nice, now give me Infinity Blade back, you thieving swine.
You'll get Fortnite Festival and you'll fricking like it, you bawd
you got monkey pawed... it's back (ias an item n fortnite)
>why is the CEO of a company obsessed with making money?
It is a mystery.
Except Tim used to make a big stink how it wasn’t just about the money but giving the consumer a fair market and multiple choices to purchase from. Now he’s flagrantly trying to insert himself into every platform like the moronic crybaby on the playground forcing the adults to make the other kids play with him.
He's just jealous that other companies were more successful than him like Valve, but rather than trying to compete fairly, he's asking the courts to let him win.
He's literally like a child complaining to their parent that their sibling is playing with a toy which he originally didn't want.
It's almost as if he lied about it, right? Timmy wouldn't do that though.
Remind me how much EGS is making profit for Timmy right now?
at this point it has to be from the game engine, right?
Epic has only made money from the Unreal engine for most of its existence, with the exception of its very early years, and the relative blip in time when Fortnite was extremely popular and profitable.
the last big thing I ever saw about fortnite was that one kid that traded his soul..ninja(?) and mad a shit load of cash when that failed streamer service from microsoft(?)..failed
Yeah, he made an exclusivity deal with Microsoft to stream on their service, then it went breasts up and he kept the money. Same thing is about to happen again with a different company.
I'd assume most of the money still comes from Fortnite?
I honestly do not know but yeah i'm sure it rakes in cash
Fortnite has been floundering pretty hard because the new seasons suck and the new skins are ESG fueled nonsense that no one wants. They made money when they were selling coomer skins, but now that is forbidden. Their latest season was pretty popular because it was a throwback season to the first chapter of Fortnite, but I don't think that will last unless they change course and start putting good skins out again.

Hate this c**t.

I mean is he stupid?
He'll never get his app on there for free.
No but after a certain point a platform doesn't deserve more and more money just for the privilege of existing. Server infrastructure isn't getting scarcer. The features are already developed. We could give 100% of our rev to Steam so they can dividend it all into executive bank accounts with zero reinvestment.

in android problem was that Timmy wanted his game preloaded into your phone but Google stopped OEMs from doing so.
I thought Android was an open platform. Is TimTam making the agreement with a hardware manufacturer? I don't see the problem with this.
>Everyone pays it to make Gabe richer without reinvestment because his platform has the privilege of existing without real competition.

why would valve NOT want people buying games on steam and streaming them instead of buying them on the quest store?
>but the index
it's dead
>just for the privilege of existing

That's how business works. You work under someone, and they give you some of the profit you created. You'd think a CEO would get that.
I wonder what percentage Tim is taking from his employees
He just did on Google Play. Everyone else has to pay a 30% commission, but Epic is now exempt by order of a federal judge.
Pretty sure that wasn't the ruling. He can now just convince Android phone manufacturers to bundle EGS and/or Fortnite on their phones, and Google can't go around paying people off and threatening companies to force them to not work with Epic (or anyone else).
>including steam
dare i say?
based
i will only play fortnite if it's on steam. but only if timmy reinstates the older unreal games in storefronts first
Perfect for gorgeous looks
I wonder if Tim is aware of the timdog meme. I don't think his ego would let him appreciate it like we do.
that's a nice picture
where did you find it?
can I save it? I like it so much
Take it my friend, it's all yours
Why did he do it?
Can some kind anon post the original shiba inu version? The phone I had it saved on croaked. That picture brings me an inordinate amount of happiness
What are you talking about anon? that is the original picture.
Is it Tim in a dog suit or a dog in a Sweeney suit?
if tim doggo, or doggo tim, who controller?
Google
google master, apple controller, doggo tim?
No! Bad Tim!
seriously. as soon as we saw his face we all recognized him as that dog we've seen in internet images
Joke's on Timmy. If they can't profit from it's inclusion on their stores, they do not have to allow it on the store at all. If he somehow wins this against Apple, then Apple will just ban it from the store. Valve already doesn't have it on Steam, nor will they ever.
It was funny because Tim tried to demand they let him on Steam for free before. And Gabe's response was basically "Cool, so we can put our stuff on your store for free too then?" And Tim immediately dropped the lawsuit.
Why didn’t Tim just let them not like they’d sell on his store anyways?
How do we stop the Gaben?
To stop the Gaben, press the Gaben.
Th-Th-Thank Thanks
Th-Th-Thank Thanks
Th-Th-Thank Thanks
And have fun.
I hate to be this guy, but
muh sources?
Id like to read on it.
it's gotta be bs; steam putting their stuff on epic for free would be bad for valve.
Not necessarily. The top money making games valve has are hat simulators which require steam.
eh, i don't mind. fortnite's new modes arent half bad and i will never ever give epic a single cent. i dont understand how it's profitable
>i will never ever give epic a single cent
mmm yummy data tencent ruvs data
How does Mr Timoth plan on paying the servers that he's using that are not his?
What’s funny is no matter how this case goes it’s just leads to them saying they’re allowed to have their own launcher on phones.
Is he gonna try to put the epic store on Steam?
That's obvious, they just want to rake in 100% of Fortnite bux on Apple phones.
Can’t really happen since the court didn’t rule Apple had to give them dev kits.
They just keep trying.
Isn't this argument moot anyways now that the EU is forcing Apple to allow third party appstores? Tim just can't stop winning.
>Is he gonna try to put the epic store on Steam?
What, so everyone can see that Epic Games Launcher was downloaded zero times from the Steam page?
>GIVE US FREE BANDWITH OR ELSE
what is this guy's endgame, seriously?

Who's in the wrong here?
*sell all the games
Fixed that for you
No store sells all games though. More like your store in incredibly popular and someone saw that and gets mad when you're not going to sell their game there "for free" (as far as they're concerned)
more like
>open store in town
>other guy wants to open a store of his own
>bribe the local cops to prevent him from opening his store
>get upset the other guy takes it to a federal court
>bribe the local cops to prevent him from opening his store
This never happened
It's literally the reason why Epic won against Google and not against Apple. Google went full moronic and started paying android phone manufacturers so that they wouldn't put the epic store on their phones.
They also paid off other companies to not make their own store and be on the playstore
Google really fricked up
Have gettting arrested, homosexual. Glad to witness this. At least you didn't waste time mentioning Minecraft.
I'm coming for you tim
In Fortnite?
In real life.
does that mean i can put my game on EGS and not ever have to give timothy a cut (outside of the fact it'd get 0 sales)

oh, okay, so its a rules for thee not for me kinda thing...!?
>willing to suck down nft games whilst simultaneously begging for a free ride for there cancer ridden child scam skinner box
Actual tumor, have a nice day Tim.
>including Steam
How did Gaben mindbreak this man so hard that he has to mention them every time he makes a public statement?
>TWO MORE WEEKS AND WE'RE IN KIEVALVE!
The reason he won against Google was because Epic was trying to make deals with phone manufacturers to have Fortnite preinstalled on them, but Google was going around behind their back and threatening the manufacturers if they went through with it (this is obviously a huge no-no).
Timmy must be forgetting that he already went after Apple over the 30% cut thing (a completely different case) and he got humiliated and lost.
>deals with phone manufacturers to have Fortnite preinstalled on them
Quite cunning of him.
you can already sideload on android anyways, what are they even going for here? does timmy just want google to foot the bill for downloading?
>what are they even going for here?
They are trying to bribe phone manufacturers to have Fortnite pre-installed on their phone (bypassing app stores)
It turns out Google is now trying to blackmail those some phone manufacturers into not making these deals with Epic
didnt epic increase the fee to 30%?
I mean, he does have a point with apple
But I don't see how you're forced to use the android store when you can just sideload
Does that mean we can have the Steam store on the Epic Launcher now?
suing globohomosexual big tech companies seems based. does GankeralvetendoGAF only hate him because he's contesting the heckin wholesome big chungus roundboi's 30% claim to fortnite?
Google and Valve are net benefits to society, unlike Epic.
>Google is a net benefit to society
Once upon a time sure.
Reminder that they removed "Don't be evil" from their code of conduct.
Valve, sure. Google? Hell No.
Your mistake is thinking I think either of the companies involved are "less bad." I'm happy to see them both wasting money in moronic lawsuits.
Never rank evils.
>globohomosexual big tech companies
Tim rubs his little man clit every night to the thought of becoming a globohomosexual big tech company. I can only hope they both lose.
I support anything that hurts leftist corporations like Google and Apple. Every single post defending them makes me hate them more.
Epic is literally owned by communists
Does this mean he will drop the cost of the items in Fortnite when there is no longer a 30% fee?
yes, if you buy vbucks directly from Epic they cost less than from Google play
iirc when he was selling on the appstore while bypassing apple it was a bit cheaper, but it wasn't 30% cheaper so they were making even more money in the end
Probably not, getting Consoles to drop the cut is like moving a mountain and he can't undercut Sony because of a no favored clause.
I wonder what their huge budget is for sue/crying vs actually acquiring or developing games ultrakek
Because despite cutting margins to absolute minimums (barely 0 return) neither devs norngamers flocked like moths to a flame
Since fortnite is still a big thing it makes sense to attempt something like this, greed is good while you're up high, until company to company privateering happens to happen.
>Steam
Gaben won.
>we care about the players
>puts 4000 vbuck vehicles in the shop
>We care about players......count to suck money endlessly
timinem won
Reminder, he said this after running a literal propaganda campaign which targeted CHILDREN to let his billion dollar company earn even more money.
all companies target children. Its up to parents to decide what to give them
fort-u-nite-ly for them its a good game
Wow that sucks, well when you get to prison I hear you're suppose to have sex with the biggest guy so everyone respects you.

OPEN BORDERS FOR FORTNITE
TIMMY TENCENT PUT FORTNITE ON LINUX NOW!
why the frick did fortnite go from "lmao kiddy zoomer moron game" to every single fricking 20-30 year old I know playing it?
What???
I really don't know but has fornite been out that long already?
10 years evidently
jesus christ.
a decade already.
I never played it, and remember it and that other one from player unknown...
It's called the passage of time
No but like, even 3 years ago people shitted on it and made fun of it
Now those same people are fricking obsessed with it
I tried it once at the very start, I think it had zombies? Hated it and never did again
I never tried fartnite or that other one I just remember tip-top lulz because the cars had working horns so people not only stream sniped, they top-hooooooooonked on popular streams
it was fricking hilarious and caused much salt.
>you honk and then you run huh? you wanna go?
I play guitar hero mode every single day
I'm almost forty and I played it for a long time because my non-gamer friends from high school could play it with me on their phone, and they already had a vested interested in playing it because they played it with their kids.
How do you play children’s games at 40? That’s pathetic.
They're all children's games, anon. All games are.
Yea but Fortnite looks like the cover of a children’s cereal box. Cope however you like I guess.
>why the frick did fortnite go from "lmao kiddy zoomer moron game" to every single fricking 20-30 year old I know playing it?
Because they were 10-20 when it came out.
it's unironically the only game my older brother likes to play together.
go figure
Objectively Best Action game ever made
Boomer mad.
Fortnite's been around for like 10 years bro. Those kiddy zoomers you speak of also aged 10 years.
>Fortnite's been around for like 10 years bro
I bought STW before BR was a thing, and that was in 2017.
Epic's been charging people for vbucks as early as the Fortnite alpha in August of 2016.
3 years ago people mocked fortnite about being a zoomer kiddie game
now everybody is playing it
I haven't, don't, and never will play it
>t. 23yo
Russianbadger made a video recently that sums up why I started playing it. I hate to put it to an eceleb to say why better than I could, but he does.

Takes his 30% despite not needing it all to run the website or service but its okay because you can ERP on steam and change your pfp to furry hitler porn.
I think that's the point, they are all billionaires and still want more. What the frick is Gabe doing with a fleet of ships? Giving tours for the homeless or shitting on a different ship every week because he can?
It takes a lot of maintenance to carry that kinda bulk, man needs to rotate through them to keep them all in working order.
Seethe harder commie
In case you actually didn't know, it's for marine research.
Steam does a lot more with the money than just running the service. They fund linux development for example.
So they throw the money in a dumpster.
I mean yeah BIG pimpin' and all but god dang, gamers bought those for him.

and not to steramguy but to YOU, the gamers.

Anyone who can't afford a yacht, I don't blame you for getting one. International waters are the last truly free place on the planet.
Let the corporations fight each other.
I wish more shit like this happened all the time.
I'll sue ya! I take all the money!
I'll sue ya! Even if you look at me funny!
The thing I like about Tim is that he is basically Denis Dyak, but with more money. Which is ironic since Tim ended Dyak's career.
When people are the point where they protect giga corporations that are charging them more for digital than a physical copy of something, AND make them sign to teh fact that they do not actually OWN said games, those people are basically stupid.
> Muh steam!
> Muh Apple!
> Muh Epic!
You people are stupid. They are the reason gaming is going to shit you dumb homosexuals.
> But GabeN!
Charges more depnding on some imaginary "quality of life" index, so we for example pay 17% more on the dollar than the US. So... does that mean Gabe pay my nation more tax seeing as he is richer too?
Of course not. In fact he pays less.
Fricking filthy greedy fat israelite. All the dudes who run these companies are. And look at you all. Eating their asses like it was candy. Truth is, you are the most pathetic people of all. And they exploit you because of it.
Can't believe Tim actually won
is this a result of tim's lawsuit?
serious question.
No but sideloading other app stores on iphone will be possible
nice, ty for that info, I guess it's time to start reading up about it.
>proud iphone 8 enjoyer
>i probably will not be able to do this unless I jailbreak, if that is even still a thing
It's going to be hilarious how passive aggresive Apple will be when you sideload an app or store and are permanently presented with popup warnings and 14 different confirmations everytime you do anything with said app or store.
No, general EU ruling because closed gardens are bullshit.
As
said.
Apple was forced by EU law.
And this will most likely work only in EU.
Zoomies want the fort but probably should man up to apex
I played a few seasons of Apex years ago, but I can't ever see myself sticking to it. I feel like the moment something else more profitable for EA comes along they'll shut the servers down without giving a flying frick how much time anyone has put into it.
Anyone else surprised with the music they add into festival? I expected mumble rap, but we actually got this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsFE8uesD6M
music is goyslop
>we'll put fortnite on any store without 30% fee
ok, lets check:
Playstation, xbox, and nintendo have 30% cut: they have fortnite.
Microsoft store (PC) has the same cut as EGS, itch lets the dev set a 0% cut if they want: no fortnite.
Why does timmy love lying? what's even the point of lying like this? what does it earn him other than contempt? why not just shut up?
And Steam is only 30% up to a point. Fortnite with its popularity wouldn't be a 30% game.
actually, how does the cut even work with f2p games? because the cut reduction is sales based
Profit, not copies sold.
Like with Path of Exile, you can buy Wilsonbux through Steam using your wallet.
its earnings based
0-10mil-50mil | 30%-25%-20% are the thresholds
before they locked those down iirc, devs had the chance to negotiate different cuts depending on their success/likely success
but some indie dev threw a shit fit and they stopped doing that
He talks out his ass because he has a hero complex that makes him the savior to gamers and developers but only on the surface and anyone in the know sees through his bullshit.
He already lost against Apple, kek. The EU is forcing apple to allow sideloading and third party app stores within the EU starting march 2024 so he'll just act like he's won the US case
I can see him self fellating that he was the one responsible for that EU decision.
I genuinely think this man is trying to play 3D chess in his head to be able to sell his games on stores and for the store to make no money on it
>Why is he so obsessed?
Says a guy making daily threads hating Epic games for the last 5 years
I'd download it if it was on Steam.
I wouldn't play it, though.
>including steam
and how is that going to work?
Valve doesn't make PCs
I think it implies Fortnite will come to steam but Epic won't pay 30% of steam profits cut
frick off tim
Even though he's fighting in his own best interest, what he's doing is better for all of us
You're moronic if you don't realize this
>Why is he so obsessed?
because fortnite prints money.
putting it on more platforms prints more money.
When MS tried to pull some bs with the windows store both Gaben and Timmy freaked but they went different directions. Gaben pivoted to Linux as a backup plan and Tim went directly to MS and lobbied against it. Both of them won that battle but now Timmy is going for mobile too.
Didn't he already lose this fight with Apple though? That whole lawsuit where he got exposed and all that shit wasn't all that long ago.
>steam drone stalks timmy to the point that he follows his company's news
>creates a thread about it asking why is he so obsessed?
Projecting without being able to see the irony at all as usual.
Am I missing something here? Does steam even take cuts from mtx? Fortnite is f2p isn't it? Why would there be a cut on steam?
Because he needs more money to keep fortnite and the epic store a float as long as possible do you think he gets all these popular ips and games for free. If fortnite stops making money a lot of skins are going to start to be removed.
it clearly still makes money
but only in china
every piece of media nowadays is tailored for the chinks, because to them, even the sloppiest of goyslop is absolute kino
>I MUST BE ALLOWED TO LEECH FROM YOUR PLATFORM WITHOUT PAYING YOU A FEE
>What? Hosting your game on EGS without paying me a fee? Fricking nonsense, pay up you moronic leech
he's fighting for our freedom, and screwing the biggest israelites in the game to do it. This man is a hero
It's their only product that anyone is remotely interested in.
So winning doesn't mean he can put fortnite for free?
Commoners like you and me hate corps cuz they do butthole things. Tim hates corps cuz they curb him from also doing butthole things.
Damn right spreading fortnite around is an butthole thing.
Just so all you anons know, not having a separate app store allows the israelites in power to ban all apps they deem "not acceptable".
If these app stores opened up, we'd get Ganker apps, free speech apps, etc.
Separate app stores are good, walled gardens are bad. What Google was doing was particularly bad, and very illegal. I still don't like Timmy though, and I'm still not going to shop on EGS.
