Epic Games Store - the console war comes to PC

[karoliner]

I'd rather get GTA V or any other game from either Steam or GOG and pay for it rather than get it for free from these shady dealers with their shitty business tactics and Chinese spyware bullshit.

This is an interesting new feature for a change.



It seems they automatically refunds the differences. I assume Epic will cover the cost, the developer will get revenues from the full price purchase anyway.

Seems counterproductive to me if you want to make money by having a sale, but okay.

 

[The Decline]

Damn the meltdown on Steam boards is real. It's a 7 years old game

A PS3 era game which costs like $15 during a sale.

Indeed, but what does steam offer recently ? Half life free for one month only , a 1998 game. Epic offered quite a few decent titles . What has steam ever done for us except selling digital version at same retail price ? Both are greedy corporation, but think epic deserves my money more now.

The chinks have snatched another soul. Even if you were willing to ignore your information being stolen, why bother paying for anything on the Epic store? At this rate every big game is going to be free at some point or another.

no one owes you free games. Steam and EGS are digital stores, not charity foundations.
Epic deserves your money because of a couple of freebies? lol

No it's very good advertisement , the purpose is to take market shares not make money , it make them look like the good guy compare to steam. Now why so many people are sucking gabe's dick here ? I do understand its a liked pratice here,wont judge, however i dont understand such fandom on the codex for a virtual shop. Only thing steam really has are the user reviews.

 

[Alienman]

I know that, but honestly I find it a bit weird and pathetic. At some point if you want to run the actual store you have to sell some stuff at a profit.

"Please come to my store, I will suck your dick man"

Shops have to adapt if they want to stay competitive, same rule for everyone:

Imagine being so butthurt you facepalm the idea of a shop giving you your money back out of their own volition.

Steamtard truly is the lowest form of life there is. Maybe if you assholes hadn't invested tons of money into a digital storefront where your entire library can go poof at the first sign of trouble, you guys wouldn't have turned into such pathetic Stockholm Syndrome-suffering cucks.

 

[Alienman]

Always the Steam cucks argument, some of you just can't fathom that EPIC aka CHINA is shit on its own regardless of what people think about Steam?

 

[Morkar Left]

I see the war is already going strong here...

 

[Alfgart]

So I wanted to see how much is Kojima going to scam PC users with his overrated crap. Let's compare stores

1 dollar = 817 CLP today. So, a bit more than 51 USD. But the good thing is I'll get charged in my local currency and I can pay with local debit cards and such, no need to worry about exchange rates.

What about EGS?

More expensive. Can't pay with local currency. Shit storefront.

But hey, developers get a bigger cut, muh "competition", blah blah blah

No. We are just not easily bribed by some free games which many of Epic cock suckers won't even play. Yeah, I'm not going to give my data to Epic just to add a few free games to my 300 game backlog.

ok i get it, you were very informative! Murica stronk , it all boils to that .

Regardless? Really? Then why are "steam cucks" always comparing Epic with Steam and keep telling everyone how Epic sucks because it's not Steam? I thought Epic was supposed to be better than Steam to have any chance. Now it's "regardless"?

Oh, btw, is there any way yet to get Steam-only games without having to use Steam? No?

I personally started to really appreciate all these free games I'll never play, as opposed to all these games I paid for on Steam that I'll never play either.

Made me stop and think what I was doing with my money, thank you Tim and fuck fat Gabe.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Imagine trying to use "I'm paying for games I don't play" as an argument and not as proof of being retarded.

Nice trap. Wanna start this shit again for the billionth time? Regardless of the existence of Steam, EPIC is a joke of a store. A store that has to give away games, a store that sells nothing. It can't be better than anything, it has no features.

steam: supports linux, actively employs programmers to work on the kernel/graphics drivers/compatibility layers
epic store: does not support linux, actively employs programmers to write spyware to spy on you for their chinese masters

 

[FeelTheRads]

Nice trap.

I'll have you know I'm not tucking.

A store that has to give away games

Giving away free games is now bad because Epic does it. Cool story, bro.

 

[Mortmal]

Damn that 10 euros coupon will be pretty nice to buy cyberpunk 2077,it expires in november guess it will work, glad i have epic store. Seeing so many people butthurt about it ,makes it even more of a pleasure.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

If you're not the buyer, and you're not the seller, then you're the product.

And who's really gaming on linux ? With the colossal amount of money gabe accumulated he could have made it a standard, instead it's still the subpar choice by far and not a real option.
