Let's talk about the split again which is going to bring great things for gamers in the long term, just like going from physical to digital did. Laughing

Exactly.. "Games are going to be so much cheaper !" Laughing
It did give the opportunity for independent developers to make a breakthrough though, if we want to be fair.

Epic are not doing it for the consumer (well duh) and I doubt the consumer is going to benefit from it that much since Steam/Valve don't give a damn, smaller devs might temporarily gain something out of this for some time as long as money isn't an issue..
Epic are doing it so they can get a foothold in digital distribution, they just have way too much money on their hands and no idea how to spend it.

Feels like the conversation is going in circles, all valid points have been made already Smile

Also. I don't think posting stupid emojis or namecalling people's for stating theirs opnions really help that said user image.

There are valid reasons to criticize Epicstore but aside for the "main" reasons there are not many disadvantages you don't find on pretty much every other digital stores.

Every store basically has its own fuck and disadvantage..

Steam IMO tend to be on the better side(cuz the more features and games), but there is still the flaws of having to use it in addition to Ubiplay for some games...


I could be wrong but it looks like that aside Denuvo on few games Epic store doesn't contain any new protection like on many games in Steam.

Just wait until they push this exclusives and free games for long enough. People will be "it's fine to install it just for the free games". Then they get accustomed to it and "It's fine, i'll just buy this one game for x reason", and then the next is "Fuck it, it works and i get the games i want, who cares?".

Yea It's kinda lacking in comparison to Steam, most likely they will

push more features in Time...


There are some nice games for free that cost money on other stores though.


To clear things up, I am not Epicsotre's PR, I still prefer Steam, but it's Inevitable they will be forced to try to keep up with Steam if it's popularity and games library keeps on growing.

30? I've got access to thousands and thousands of free games. On the internet, just like EGS.

wasnt half of them supposed to be doen by march , then by May then by July?
seems like they are delaying them while barely impelmenting anything

and only one of them they marked they did are cloud save , even though its jut experimentally and only in 2 games and had to be added manualy by the steamspy guy
Laughing

Really curious if they actually implemenet anything before Blands3.
Kinda sad , they got all the money in the world thx to Forknife whales , yet they are not willing to pay 2 mandays (and i am overestimating that like crazy) of store of webdeveloper to implement friggin cart

Meanwhile, for better or worse, EA and its Origin store are getting better, not for the store part, but their Origin Access.

24€ for a year, having access to hundreds of games, including new ones, as much as you want.

Compared to the shitty deal you get with Ubi store, that's a steal.

You are wrong, some games use what I call the Epic DRM.

Adding the predictable eurosocjus piece to the pile:
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-08-06-epic-condemns-disturbing-trend-of-harassment-following-ooblets-exclusivity-deal

Some wrongthink on the comments, oh no:
Quote:
Soo... what kind of "harassment" are they getting? I mean, sure people are outraged, WELL NO SHIT. For starters they've been getting monthly support for Ooblets courtasy of Patreon, with still over 1000 members, no telling how long someone has been supporting them and their work (or how many people have left already, and how many will next payout). Those 1k+ supporters have invested in their work, to support someone and in hopes to seeing a product they want. The Ooblets team didn't just mock their supporters, and people who might've purchased the game, but also hurt their relationship with crowedfunding. Quite frankly they deserve the backlash they've been getting, they've mocked gamers, praised Epic games, and betrayed their supporters.

Now the line get's crossed once we go into death threats, and/or when the developers are frightened for their life. That's a clear cut line, don't like it, stop being a snowlfake and get some thicker skin

They instigated people in the prickliest and most condescending way perfectly knowing that it would generate backlash, then when folks indeed got mad they punctually played the victim card with the inevitable mollycoddling support of all the journoworld. If that's not a strategy I don't know what is Whistle me elmo

Hopefully only a few of the vocal pears will actually buy the thing (as always happens) and the game will quickly end up in the Epic cemetery along with the other exclusives.

I still think removing it from an open market is bad for business. Maybe drop the price of the product if you're Epic to foster competition.

Good thing that they're also stealing from Sony. Sony deserves every bit of this action. Companies who push exclusivity to their platform can directly go bankrupt for all i care.

i'm fine with epic getting publishers / devs to put their console games on the epic store because i prefer playing on the pc over the ps4

and this way i don't have to buy the game
