Epic Games General Thread - Its time to talk about what the AAA gaming industry does not understand about the PC console.

The only thing that saves it slightly is Youtube sucking corporate cock and removing the dislike bar. Just imagine the dislikes on that pile of shit video?
We don't have to imagine.

Because Tim Sweeny wants to lord over you. Seriously, why did Remedy take the deal? It's not like they were hurting for cash.
I could be wrong, but I think reason Remedy agreed is because Tim promised them a better publishing deal, Remedy kinda always had issues with their publishers and from what I recall a good amount of money from Controls earnings were spent on getting Alan Wake rights from Microsoft.
 
Case in point why hiding dislikes does nothing to hide bad reception.

Also did they pre-emptively unlist this due the bad reception? What a bunch of pussies.

Epic probably let them keep the rights to the game, that would go a long way.

Maybe don't wait three years to implement a basic shopping cart? Crazy idea, I know.

Chances are it’s an embedded video on a website somewhere, and it’s not meant to be seen on its own. Not gonna stop us, of course.

Epic just asked me to do a captcha to open the launcher. Wtf, is this a thing? I don't think I ever had to do that in steam or gog.

Didn't help that it's buggy as shit and didn't work, had to reset a bunch of times until it gave up and just let me access it without the captcha. This launcher really is a big steaming pile of shit.

I seem to remember someone saying something about Piracy being a service issue? Well, it probably wasn't too relevant to this market, no big deal.

That's new, or at least newish. I don't think I've bothered with the launcher for well over a year since every time I tried to open it I was forced to go through TFA again due to "This is definitely a new machine/location that you're logging in from" being the default and only option. Eventually, even a "free" copy of GTA V/Subnautica wasn't worth the annoyance.

I do believe GoG does have a captcha thing but only when you log in via web browser

The thing I see people still praising epic for for whatever reason is the claim of higher cuts to developers. Is this still true and how long do you think it can be maintained? Apparently they just bought out Artstation, a site that markets itself as a hub for professional digital artists or something. They're just going to end up a bloated monolith with no direction IMO.

They also bought Harmonix the makers of all the Guitar Hero series, as for the whole "higher cuts for developers" thing..mmm..I think that's true, but I can only see this being a good thing for indie devs and companies who are on their own like it was with the Hitman developers or Remedy.
