Like epic can afford steam lol. Don't you think Microsoft would of bought them out if that was possible. Epic should practise making games and a decent launcher rather than using lame arse PR stunts that don't benefit anyone but epic
You laugh but the point is you understand nothing it's not just another launcher. It's a shit launcher and with everything pc if you don't like one launcher u can buy it from another or somewhere like gog. You don't understand what your talking about so why don't you pipe down
No compatition works when you compete for customers they ain't compete ting for customers they forcing you to use their launcher, Sony and Microsoft made their own hardware and games this is expected. Pc is an open platform just because u can buy it on steam doesn't mean you can't buy it from other places. I suppose business giving each other benefits while the screw over their consumer is good competition no it's not.
It's not good for everyone though is it, Epic's launcher cant compare to Steam, Uplay or Origin, So it has 0 incentive as a gamer. If it did developers would offer their game's cheaper on Epic's launcher, they don't, Why should people be forced to use sub-par software because epic decided to buy exclusives.
"It's sad to see how Epic is actually doing many people a solid but gets hated because they only see the bad things about Epic; but not the ...
This is where you miss the point, Yes it does matter when, your forced to use a service is that below standard, I suppose you buy your products from places that give their providers a better cut while they offer you the worst kind of service, Because what does it matter its the same product?
@Rainslacker, what are they offering YOU though, What happened to the world when you should accept using sub standard service for a product you could buy for the same price with a much better service just because they give the product providers a better cut?
But even that is not what we have we Epic, you can't go anywhere else for this product because Epic flashed some cash and offered a better deal, while you as a consumer and left with a featureless launcher what can...
Only question that should be asked as Gamer is how does this benefit me? It doesn't. Competition is competing for your customers money. They ain't competing for your money by offering u a better deal, this whole we give developers more money is just a PR stunt of course the developers are so happy with their new deal why can't they offer discount? They don't c because this deal only benefits them, they don't care about you. They just hope you follow their epic love train w...
A good thing for who? Devs and Epic not consumers, Do epic pass any savings on to you? nope, do the devs? nope, Do epic even have a launcher that is even comparable to Origin or uPlay? nope. So why should anyone have to use a sub-par launcher because Epic give betters deals to developers? They riding on the back of their casual game that brought mostly console gamers to play on PC because of Fortnite and no offense but consoles are such a closed platform people buy what ever Sony and Microsof...
Maybe not but the more people can play your game the more sales you get, the death of games like quake and unreal tournament prove this, its why games like fornite are so successful easy to get in too and to get kills. Where as harder more skilled based games that require alot of practise to be half decent don't sell anymore. Why loot shooters and MMOs drop gear for fun these days and not like they use to quick easy feeling of achievement. Gaming is main stream now for the masses, games ...
Oh and exclusive doesn't mean its tied to one bit of hardware, Shops have exclusives, does that stop everyone going in to that shop and buying it no of coarse it doesn't,but its still called an "Exclusive" Its still an Exclusive to Epic store because that was Exclusive means you can't get it anywhere else.
all these comments just prove why you pay for something like PSN or XBOX live, its not about 1 game its about the future of publishing on the PC, th...
"Well, console makers do that kind of crap all the time. Pay a third party developer to make a game exclusive to their platform. But I never see any of you speaking out against that, even though it's actually far more annoying."
I don't play Consoles no more because i refuse to pay for a service that i already pay my ISP for, you can all defend it all you want but people who call bullshit are the reason why PC gaming refused to pay to use "Games for W...
It is a Storefront Timed Exclusive, so yes epic have paid for it to only be published on their platform like what use to happen during the PS3 and XBOX3 era, if it becomes acceptable for Epic to do this, then whats stopping them from buying real permanent exclusives. Lets be fair EA and Ubisoft publish their own games were they please, they don't wave money around in front of 3rd party developers and to get them to do timed exclusive deals, forcing everyone who enjoyed the previous to gam...
Anthem has problems, but the ones on this list are really poor excuses for the lack of play time, there is a many things that are legitimate complaints about Anthem, a Javelin not over heating would break all the combat mechanics, you would never have to touch the floor in boss fights it would break the combat. Copy and Paste enemies come on dude, every game has the same issue be in WoW, Destiny, The Division. do you know what combos are? Anthem has some of the most enjoyable combat in game f...
Sorry i disagree Inquisition is worse than ME:A i tried playing it again the game is just more grindy than most modern MMO's is boring and lackluster. The story has a lot to be desired. The only reason DA:I lasted 90+ hours was because of its awful leveling system, each area sectioned off in to levels just like any MMO. how it got a Game of the Year award just shows how bad gaming journalism is these days, ME:A had a better leveling and combat system, the story left a lot to be desired li...
And this player is what the industry refers as "Whales" a small amount of a player base who spends lots and lots of money on micro transactions, this is why we still have them because this small % of players make massive profits for the company than they would just selling the game.
Yes this is what publishers refer to people who buy lots of MT's your not a customer your a whale
Plus discord did the same with a pc game recently what happened to that game 3 weeks in its dead people won't move just because you have an exclusive game on your store eventually it will release on steam, when they realise people just don't buy games that aren't on steam unless your some of the biggest publishers
Difference is valve may charge 30% which it won't be for much longer as they have already said but valve doesn't do exclusive deals because valve doesn't practise this type of marketing, valve has never once in its history bought exlsuive rights to games, but you find EA not publishing on steam but they do on uplay, discord taking exsluvity and epic. Yet if any of these companies where in valve position they would do the same as valve, let's be real if any of the platforms ta...
Twitch staff are terrible and they are full of double standards and discriminate towards men compared to women, but as the comments prove here, most guys don't give a fuck about discrimination against their gender as long as they can see some boobs /clap good job N4G :)
Just like the people who run twitch lol
They where hardly going to say it was shit, don't get me wrong I want to play this game but articles like this are pointless one Sony developer said they enjoyed another Sony funded game, well duh!
And as you being a console gamer and making a comment like that shows how much you don't understand what your talking about so go back to your console war
