What a bunch of BS. Forced and artificial monopoly is not competition; it is the death of it.

And once “Epic” has its monopoly, I bet that they won’t keep this “generous” system (and that’s when they will stop). Their general practices (towards their competition, their users, gamers in general and even towards data protection laws) show that they are not an ethical company and I won’t be fooled by this supposed good intentions speech of “we know what is best for you”. If they were at least ethical, even without good intentions, they would fight Steam with better prices and features, not artificial barriers built with bribes.

"If we want the savings to ultimately be passed on to gamers"- He instantly loses all credibility there. Let's review the last 10 years quickly, shall we? -Games offered digitally. Enabling larger profits via no manufacturing of discs/carts, boxes, having to ship an store them. -Publishers stop including manuals. -Season passes. -More and more DLC and less unlockable stuff in games. -Microtransactions and lootboxes in full priced games. (Edit to add this one)-Publishers creating their own digital platforms and raking in 100% of the profits. All of which are making record profits while the publishers don't pay taxes because of loopholes they have made in the law. Wow, they're making a lot of money! So, when do we get these 'savings'? Wait, we don't. Publishers just keep taking away. Money doesn't trickle down, savings are never passed on. It never, works, that, way. The publishers rake in more to impress investors and the only thing that changes is the customers get less in the product that they pay more for via more monetization. Developers aren't going to see any more of the profits either, it's going to go straight to the publisher's offshore accounts and the devs are going to be left doing the usual awful crunch time and laid off promptly after. Epic isn't doing devs, or customers any favors. Epic's launcher recently been found to be datamining user's PCs and steam accounts isn't helping this argument either.

It annoys me so much that they felt justified in digging through your personal and private files without asking for your authorization first! I mean, there's an API for that sort of thing. Tim saying they avoided it because they didn't want to deal with 3rd party software is absolute BS. I'm a web developer so using APIs is something I do all the time. It's secure, controlled and, most important, retains your privacy as you can only access the data if the user agrees to do it and the third party allows you to.

@Emergeo2 I will admit I have a slight bias for Steam due to how long it has been around, but I don't think Epic is a good choice overall. Sure, Steam charges a pretty hefty premium to publish games for them, which I personally don't think is fair at the level it's at. I could easily host my game for free on Google if I was an indie dev, and only for a few bucks a month for larger AAA titles. However, the problem with Epic is that they engage in anti-consumer behavior. While you could argue that "they're only making the game exclusive for a while, unlike sony", which is true, it is a pain to have to choose to buy at a certain store because it's only available there. This anti-consumer mindset is not something I want to promote so I would not buy from there to reduce the demand. To answer your question, yes, Epic does probably provide a better result for developers, but without the information of how much goes to developers vs publishers, I can't say for sure which store is better - Steam or Epic.

It's called business, clearly if you don't want the game due to this terrible mis justice (aka inconvenience) you won't buy it and you will have hurt both EPIC and 4A Silver where it counts as is the right of any consumer.

Until after Last Light and the reduxes, the series only had a cult following. Exodus making more than Last Light is simply because more people know about the series now, and that arrogant prick is bending the truth to his own benefit, and that makes me sick.

By then it won't matter because epic would of still got a lump some of cash in that first year... As a consumer you shouldn't reward the Developers and Publishers of metro by buying a game that has been laid on the back burner and released at full price as a penalty for you not buying it on EPICS store. I will wait till the game is dirt cheap, below 20 bucks maybe. If you boycott epic store then buy the game in a years time at full price your an idiot... You just basically made them think this practice is okay, because epic made their cash... now your boosting sales in that year of time on steam bringing in fresh money to a company that got in bed with a greedy has-been company. I hope the sales on steam are shitty, but they won't be because people will soak the game up like it is fresh and new.

If you recall the one Tomb Raider game did that on Microsoft's behalf and that got the same general backlash EGS is for the same shenanigans. As for the spyware thing, I would say poking around in unrelated folders on your HDD/SSD spying wouldn't you. I can find no "debunking" as it were but the Epic CEO claiming its false. In my perusing I have found people talking about the spyware issue all the way back in December well before this latest round of accusations came to light.
@user-yh5ls8hk5y5 жыл бұрын
@Ryan Bushell And Xbox vs Ps4 is good... how? It's the most anti-consumer practice I can think of off the top of my head. It forces the consumer to choose based off who has the most money to throw around, not who creates the better prodcut. It also forces us to use inferior products to get games that we should be able to get on any platform we choose. "If you want to win you have to have a reason for people to use their product." Yes. And that's why Steam and GOG have won all this time by fighting over who can make the better launcher. If you think the Epic store can hold a candle to either of those, you have to be delusional. It lacks the features both of those had, was roasted over a flame, and struggled at first. It has only seen any success by buying exclusives. This is the same market where a good chunk of the consumer wants a better launcher than steam, too. "The spyware story has been debunked as complete BS" The only thing I've seen debunking the spyware was a claim from Epic that makes no sense at all and actually brings up more questions (Why would they be using Steam data in Fortnite?) "Also EPIC are not forcing developers into exclusivity, they make that choice themselves. " First off, the developers aren't. The producers are. Two very different groups. Second off, it doesn't matter that they aren't forcing them. They offering to buy the exclusives, and non of the games would be exclusives if they hadn't.
