Wow, fucking over the people who buy your shit for more money and expecting people to still buy your games

Epic buying exclusives is dumb

But Randy is insufferable

How is it fucking people over by making it a epic launcher exclusive

They did it Bc epic offers better cuts to developers and even more when they’re made with the unreal engine

because the epic launcher is vastly inferior to the steam one in all matter of security

>lets force people to use a chinese companies website

I care about the shit Steam adds, I really do I've found that over the years it adds a lot of value to me

Also

That's bullshit

The cut is irrelevant

What

>the cut is irrelevant

With the millions being paid up front + The sales guarantee

The cut per copy doesn't come into any of these current deals

Still it’s their money not anyone else’s so

They can do what they want

The "can"

That is such a cop out arguement

No shit

of course they can

does not mean we will not have ill will towards companies who do it

They could sell it on their own site, get 100%

But they don't

Even Ubisoft, doesn't do that with UPlay

Because the cut doesn't matter

Imagine if two companies are hiring you for the same job but one pays more

Who are you gonna work for

Of course the homo is perfectly fine with others having their way with him

I would probably pick steam over epic if that is the dichotomy

Bio, I really respect you But that is such a dumb argument

Jesus Christ

That’s literally what’s going on tho

I'm being completely genuine

No it's jot

Not

The cut doesn't matter in these equations

The money up front + guarantee are

The details of the exclusivity agreement are REALLY good

Also, normal games can't get on the store, to take advantage of the cut

Exclusives don’t matter on pc like they do console

so just discount everything bio said

Yes they do

They do

You don’t have to buy a new launcher but you have to buy a different console if you don’t have the one the game requires

I didn’t say they don’t matter

This is coming from someone who has no qualms pirating games Steam adds enough value to me that I legitimately will buy games on Steam to play them

Pinned a message.

you still have to use the borrible epic launcher

Steam adds 20-30 dollars of value for me

With how shit steam is sometimes, it is unironically a great service

Not if you’re a developer

what epic is doing is trying to make fake competition by dumping fortnite money into buying out game rights, instead of making a competing service that could rival steam

They take a much larger cut then epic

the cut

I have/do use UPlay, Battle.net, Drsura, GanersGate, Fanatical, GoG, Origin, and the Windows store

>windows store

I downloaded solitaire

lol

I'm counting it

is master chief collection going to be on steam?

The cut Steam takes is justified (not to mention most AAAs already had a sepate deal with Valve negotited)

wtf morrowind is only 15 dollars on steam

Anyway borderlands is only a 6 month exclusive

With spooky's formula I would've saved 5-15 dollars by buying it instead of downloading the free code

Steam > epic

^

No ones arguing that

Again I’m saying from a DEVELOPER standpoint

From a developer standpoint, causing ill will with your fans is a bad buisness move

Epic is only better, because of the payout they're getting right now

Also back

From my excellenet dinner

It's the only way they can survive with that many less players

Home made chik-fil-a

I would have 0 problem with devs releasing games on epic along side other releases, broadening your reach is never a bad thing

It’s only a 6 month exclusive so if you hate epic that much then wait
