Some games from big developers stay there, too. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 is a good example: it came out back in 2020, has still not been cracked, and remains an Epic exclusive to this day. The Fitgirl Repack of it is just the (not so great) Switch version running in Yuzu.
You would be correct, during EGS first sale, they put a bunch of games on sale without having any agreement with the publishers. WHich forced the devs to either remove their games from the sale or jack up the price for it.
Anyone who read this line and didn't realise this is a troll is an idiot.
Sometimes I forget that not having an approved opinion on the internet is "trolling".
So instead the failures get punished along with the successes?
So if they're getting 70% they won't publish shitty games but if they got 100% they would? Weak line of logic.
So shit developers shouldn't be allowed on Steam? Almost every successful developer made shitty games before they had their hit. Some were on Steam, some weren't. We should hit those people for the full 30% on their way up... why?
This is why I'm calling you a troll. Not the content of your arguments, but the side comments that outright contradict each other or are so obvious troll lines.
And you include two of the ABC points I made, but you don't include the A or the B line starters and you completely avoid point C, which actually answers your question; that it is cheaper to handle things in bulk than it is to handle it in smaller groups.
It took me less than 30 seconds to find a series of posts from users unable to open their games through the Epic Games launcher seeking help...on the Steam discussion boards. Said posts are from last month.
Friend, when people are calling you a troll that just means they think youre mentally retarded on purpose. If its not on purpose then buddy, thats not great.
The net is absolutely flooded with those kinds of posts and that's exactly my experience, EGS is such an embarrassing turd of a launcher it beggars belief. You would think they would use at least some of that money they have to make a stable launcher that works most of the time but I guess I'm an idiot for expecting something like that. When a cracked repack is more stable and usable than your multi million $ corporate product you might have fucked up somewhere along the line.
dude, they had to get EGS up ASAP otherwise steam would take over the world because there is literally no other platforms and gaben would delete HL3 forever
It also keeps Steam from getting too oppressive just by existing, something EGS does jack about because it isn't a credible competitor. Gog is pretty small compared to Steam but is at least competing with benefit to the consumer.
Well, I'll disagree on the not spending part, Epic users do buy games there..but only when they go on sale and when Epic gives away those 10$ coupons. Usually, it's done by people who cannot afford some games on steam at the time.
All the more reason to stay the hell away from Epic.
I honestly don't get how the fuck it's so bad especially after all this time. I've seen boomers set up more functional storefronts using budget plan squarespace. I've seen better launchers that were just for one company to launch its own games, previously the gold standard of absolute shit.
fwiw you can redeem the games via browser and install them via legendary, I stopped caring when my launcher fucked itself a second time because timmy can't even do a simple downloader on the level of a shitty node electron app...
