Epic Games Store - the console war comes to PC

[Kem0sabe]

The previous games went on sale pretty fast. And im not seeing much if any hype for this on the console reddits. It could well be that they are thinking that most of their sales will come on consoles, but thats a big if.

Jesus, I really didn't want to buy this game full price but I guess I will, just to support it against the tide of retards, edgelords and drama queens.

Fuck Steam in their fat, louse infested ass.

i thought they gave you a free copy as a reward for shilling.

Did you know they're doing this for the consumer? Here those silly consumers thought they bought it on another store but cvv's masters fixed that. Thank you, Epic!

Would you buy one for me as well? That way you could really show it to Gaben.

It took 4 long pages for steamfag fanboy retards to run out of bullets and switch to the "shyll!1!1" fake ammo.

Grats boys, you had a p. good run.

 

[GrainWetski]

Just post a single positive for the consumer in all of this. Go on.

Fuck off capitalist faggot! I say,don't buy it from any platform and just steal it like true free chad! All those corporate fat faggots could suck my fat dick after i pull it out from their wife's ass!

Fuck off western pig, I'm a Chink agent.

I'll repeat myself, but from the game publishers and indie devs pow the correct way to pressure steam without pissing of customers, would be to just set 18% discount on all catalogue on Epic.
Steam would start to leak sales, gain bad PR and eventually would decrease the cut too, than they could end discount on Epic and smaller cut would become industry standard for digital sales.

But that would require foresight that suits blinded by a perspective of a higher cut right now lack. Same price and exlusivity on worse and uncertain platform is a sure way for financial loss in sales.

Steam's such an awful platform they let GMG sell RE2 keys for 39€. Horrible for the consumer that they let GMG get away with this. Epic will set them straight.

I wish they'd compete by offering a superior service. It's not like there aren't a whole fuckton of things on Steam that could be improved.

This exclusivity nonsense is just dumb.

Congrats for supporting anti-consumer practices, you must really be proud of that. Purchasing exclusives on a platform that doesn't offer one tenth of Steam's functionality is the way to go! SUCK ON THAT, GABEN!

 

[RapineDel]

In other news even THQ Nordic know this was a bad idea. Sounds like not many people were in the know which is why it got pulled and announced at the last minute.

Epic is a good studio

 

[sullynathan]

For the people that rated my post shit. Keep in mind, I don't really care for the different PC stores. I own more games on STEAM than UPlay, Origin, GOG, etc. but I didn't buy nearly all of them nor do I use STEAM much (other codexers can vouch for me). I don't particularly care, if eventually Epic overtakes STEAM, becomes as big as STEAM, etc. It won't stop me from playing games at all.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

I'm gonna consider getting butthurt as soon as any timeworthy games start getting non-steam/gog exclusives. Guess I'm safe lol.

 

[SpoilVictor]

I'm really curious how it will play out. Forcing customers to use your store is one thing, but making it actually functional store that ppl go to, is another thing. Like Origin, UPlay etc. I own games there but that's only thing. Because who really uses those stores for browsing games, checking new releases etc.? No one. They are just fucking launchers I need to have to play certain games and I forget about their existence as soon as I finish said game.

I have feeling that Derpic Store will end just like Origin and UPlay: another liability collecting specks of digital dust on hard-drive until once in the blue moon some great promo will awake it from it's slumber.

Piratechads win again

Seriously, I haven't pirated shit in years. All this exclusivity play will just end up saving me money.
