Steamies take another L

Steamie pays

Yes
Unlike Epic most people get games by actually buying them.

Steamies take another L

Dead Island 2 free

at least it has a real review system lol. you know a platform is trash when it doesnt have proper reviews

Halo Wars is good thougheverbeit

shitty generic zombie game 2 free

oh shit imma about to uninstall steam and throw away my deck, what a humiliation ritual.

you know you can run 2 stores at the same time right?

I didn't even know this game existed I wonder why...

Steamies think Epic is stealing their rams of databytes

the whole competition thing is idiotic both are free to install

I recently got MHW, Hundred Line, Clair Obscur and Fantasy Life i at full price on Steam, I wonder how many Epicfags buy full price games on Epic.

Is it time for the epiggies to squeal over their latest round of slop? Too bad it's filled with broke pajeets.

Imagine your platform being so bad that literal free games won't draw people, epic been doing this regularly for 5+ years and people still won't install it. Another billion dollars to Gabegod

because dumb consumers like you refuse to think for themselves and utter retarded shit like "Gabegod". steam is popular because it got there first, sure valve released some of the best games but they fuck devs with a 30% price tag for their games. imagine how much money some of the big games made them just for being a middle man. its the same shit as the other popular middle man shit apps like uber, 0% risk 100% money gain. if you're going to be a middle man with a service atleast help everyone in the process. this is why gog and epic is better than steam. and news flash steam UI is shit has been for many years now. you can do whatever you want but being a company cultist is cringe and you should kill yourself.

I'm a retarded paypig

bet you're proud of yourself too

lololol tim has to give out free games just to attract brokies like this

implying that I would reach into a pile of shit for a five dollar bill

they fuck devs with a 30% price tag

Put your game on Steam

Make lots of money

Put your game on EGS

*crickets*

I use steam because its the only platform with reviews and discussion forums that are reliable 90% of the time. Id probably not buy anything on it otherwise because I dont trust a place like netflix's or EGS's unsourced rating system

6y old store

still missing 90% of the features of the competing store

only added shopping carts 2 years ago after spending 4 years making fun of people for wanting the most basic feature ever in an online store

after spending 4 years making fun of people for wanting the most basic feature

That was Steamies making fun of themselves you know.

when 30% of your revenue turns to dust some studios become risk averse or choose to launch their own storefront, in the end you get shittier experiences as a consumer but since its not your problem you must enjoy slop, have fun.
yeah thats what a monopoly does, hope it changes not for epic's sake but i hate everyone being aggregated to one platform thats not even that good. you always hear about people complaining how the internet feels fake or dead but they visit the same 4 websites for years. i hope the grid shuts down for good. we need to train sharks to bite down the malicious deep sea cables.

steamcultists

lol, lmao even. Steam Ui is by far the best option of any launcher. All my games in 1 1 tab can custom sort add custom banners and view them as box art in a collection. Things like community tabs discussions guides notes etc are non existent in other clients. Even with the 30% cut devs will make 1000x more profit listing on steam than EGS or GOG there's plenty of data to back this up. You wanna argue about who's retarded anon? Let's talk about the people using slop platforms baited in by free games. You people are the ones with real brand loyalty issues. When a platform actually rivals steam then people will actually start to use it. Look at the change from skype to discord, from facebook to xitter. There is no too big to fail only too shit to succeed

30% tariff isn't a big deal. you'd spend that on trying to reach consumers to find and buy your product otherwise.

when 30% of your revenue turns to dust some studios become risk averse

and yet all the good indie games are on steam, most were even steam exclusives even because until very recently epic didn't give a single fuck about small indie games and only wanted to attract big games
How come that was never an issue before steam? How come you only care about people using Epic as an alternative but not GoG or itch.io?

monopoly

Devs are free to put their games on EGS alongside Steam and customers are free to buy it on Steam over EGS.

Get game on Epic for free

Immediately forget about it

Buy it later on Steam when I actually want to play it (but only when it goes on sale)

you forget to mention that steam had years to work on their UI and tweak it, i'd argue the current steam is the worst UI in its history.

Let's talk about the people using slop platforms baited in by free games

seems like a valid strategy for a company to get customers to me, steam never had to do things like this because they were there first they figured this shit first. i don't understand why you call this "bait" since its transparent in its attempt.

You people are the ones with real brand loyalty issues

you misunderstand my whole point, i m saying that there should be no brand loyalty and no sucking up to these storefronts, you should only think of yourself. if epic gives free games and you want said games get the games. steam retards are the most cultish so thats what i make fun off.

when 30% of your revenue turns to dust some studios become risk averse or choose to launch their own storefront, in the end you get shittier experiences as a consumer but since its not your problem you must enjoy slop, have fun.

You are aware that consoles also take 30%?
Unless the game is PC only they take that 30% hit on any of those sales.

epic didn't give a single fuck about small indie games

as opposed to steam who cares right ?

How come you only care about people using Epic as an alternative but not GoG or itch.io?

this is why gog and epic is better than steam.

you forget to mention that steam had years to work on their UI and tweak it

should make it even easier for anybody else to just copy it then, just like all their other features

if epic gives free games and you want said games get the games.

pirating gives me all the free games I want, epic isn't needed

The game isn't free I'm trading my data for it space on my pc for its shitty launcher and time for it opening up said shitty launcher everytime.I wanna play. Sure these are miniscule things but why would I go for "free games" when i could pirate instead with the same effort and less downsides?

You are aware that consoles also take 30%?

so because some else does retarded shit it must be okay ?
consoles also demand for you to pay to play online should that be a pc feature too ?
get a grip man,

as opposed to steam who cares right?

Correct.

Good job Timmy, keep training your userbase NOT to spend money on your store.

You're saying I can play EGS games without installing their gay ass spyware software?

Why is it retarded for a platform to demand payment for the service they provide?

buy games bad

Big words coming from the store kept alive by children's microtransactions in one game.

Consoles used to take more then 30% for a long fucking time.
And no I'm all for the cut should be lowered on all platforms, but framing it as a Steam problem isn't resolving shit.

I'm surprised the Steamie fag still comes here after he was found on r/indianmuslims and r/indiangamers

pirating gives me all the free games I want, epic isn't needed

I go for "free games" when i could pirate instead with the same effort and less downsides?

yes in my ideal version of the internet, everyone should pirate their games. some downside of piracy for games is online play and maybe the outlier who enjoys achievements or whatnots (although i've seen achievements overlays integrated into some pirated games).
just do whatever you think is best for you and stop being a cult follower to these companies. as i said steam has the most cultish following thats why i mention its retarded "fans"

without installing their gay ass spyware software

more like without installing MOST of their spyware software, some stuff will still run for games specially online games but it's the best possible way to run that shit

I'm totally for piracy that's why I was here saying steam bad Epic good until just a few posts ago

sigh you clearly just enjoy arguing for the sake of it, have fun with whoever else wants to give you attention

Why is it retarded for a platform to demand payment for the service they provide?

because these payments are way overblown for the amount of risk they take on, i gave uber as an example earlier. if you're an uber drive and you get mugged your hand slashed and car window broken its on you, you assume all the risk they are just a middle man yet they make absurd amounts from your services for hosting a server ( its more complex than that but not really). notice how everything became the same type of "service" because its EZ money.

I'm totally for piracy that's why I was here saying steam bad Epic good until just a few posts ago

bitch i never said such thing, don't blame your zero reading comprehension on me, i said epic is better because of certain decision which is what i believe. i don't enjoy certain things doesn't mean i can't see the goods in them. you total retard.

What is this 2019 lmao?

Haven't seen an EGS shill thread in ages.

Why have all the Amanita Design games been review bombed on steam
Botanicula
Chuchel
Machinarium
Happy Game
What the fuck steamies? Explain yourselves

Damn thanks Timmie
Still not going to spend money though
I really don't understand why they don't use some of that Fortnite cash to at least update the platform's UI, it's so fucking bad and lacks so much functionality. It wouldn't even take that much money or effort. It really baffles me

We still get them whenever a high-profile free game comes and Kuprajit Lakshmaniveerasamy tries to shill the EGS here hoping for some paying people to move to it.

Chuchel originally was black with an orange cap.
Lefties said it was blackface and they changed it.

Not even a chud but they showed no fucking integrity just to appease the usual snowflakes.

100 unopened steam games

opening another launcher.. what a hassle

didn't timmy gave up with this?

opening another launcher.. what a hassle

Unironically this, whenever I get logged out of uPlay or Origin, I just... didn't use it for years until a major release, dealing with multiple passwords was so much of a hassle I'd rather wait for the game to get a Steam release.

No, he has huge plans, like the Epic Mobile Store, the Epic Xbox Store, the Epic Sony Store, and the Epic Nintendo Store.
Since Apply fucked up the lawsuit, now Tim is releasing the Epic Mobile Store soon on Android and iOS which will be super funny, it will become a graveyard of dead games with offline servers.

it will become a graveyard of dead games with offline servers.

No
It's basically the only thing besides Fortnite and Rocket League that gets people to log in.

Oh yeah, weren't you mad because you wanted to make a job out of selling cards to others and Valve stole that from you? Have you tried Roblox? I heard people make money on that.

I'm still waiting for Epic to give away a good game

free

You are the product.

the first one sounded like a fun time but i thought it wasnt that fun when i actually played it

If you don't like Nioh or Dying Light, you have shit taste. (Or are the typical friendless Steamie who doesn't play games coop)

Dying Light is supposedly by the same dev team and I still can't even believe that due to how bad Dead Island is.

Normal Anon Babblefags would have already bought those games years ago. This is why the free games strategy doesn't work. It's only gathering poorfags like you.

Normal Anon Babblefags would have already bought those games years ago.

Some of us have bigger backlogs than the average normie retard like you and we don't waste money on random splurges on games we don't even end up playing.

B-b-but we totally play-

I've seen completion stats on several Steam games. You guys don't play any of the games you buy.

Dude i have a huge backlog of games due to amazon prime givin out gog and epic games evwry month.
i only download the GoG games. and I use steam.
Epic cant even GIVE GAMES FOR FREE LOL.
Like everyone else i only use steam gog itch.io and piracy.

we don't waste money on random splurges on games

I can tell, which is why the EGS makes no money and is wholly funded by Fortnite.

Wasting money on games we don't play is good because uhm ehrm

Don't worry anon, maybe in a few years that game you want to play will be in a free giveaway.

The market is flooded with games. I have to be genuinely excited or nostalgic for a game to even bother installing it these days

GOG Galaxy can connect to Epic as well

good morning saar

buy a fucking ad timmy

Guys we steamies totally play the games we buy-ACK

At least they buy games.

yeah...but nobody gives a shit about epic, just gog lol.

Do the needful and install the Epic launcher saar!

No i dont think i will.

Epic cant even give them away.

battletoads

You're surprised that people who buy meme games don't finish them?

I'm sorry we won't fund your free games. Have you tried asking the Fortnite audience to spend more?

Ugly female characters, you can't pay me to play this dogshit

You are the product even if you buy it.
Have a smart phone? You are the product.

Fuck no, you're better off pirating those games even if you already have them

we give it free if you install our malware

Pirated, thank you, Sar!

High chance you're already running Epic spyware anyway
Unless you check and filter out every unreal engine release in recent years

>free

You are the product.

free game

Anon Babble fighting with each other again

I don't think it's even about video games, you people have deep rooted problems that you take out on each other over anything really

free games are le bad (but only when steam does it)

absolutely mindbroken

(but only when steam does it)

But that's true because the games they give out are shit.

It's like 5:30 AM in India. Steamjeets are working overtime ITT.

why doesn't Anon Babble just range ban india?

Trying to do console wars on store platforms with no barrier to entry

Just plain dumb.

Because free game people are mad we don't use their meme free game store. Go ahead and redeem saar, but don't bitch and cry when we already bought the game years ago.

Posting achievements as some metric without context

This could just as easily indicate that the game is shit so most people don't bother finishing it.
If you want to make an achievement comparison you need to compare the same game across plataforms.

So lets do that for a recent game like expedition 33, but I'm not gonna open up epic so we can only compare non-hidden achievements.
Since some games like Kingdom come are so bad for epic that there's a geniune case to be made that epic counts all user that own the game into the achievements.

Embark on an expedition

Steam: 89.1%
Epic 84%

Reach level 33

Steam: 43.4%, so 48.9% player retention
Epic: 36%, so 42.8% player retention

Reach level 66

Steam: 20.5%, so 23.0% player retention from first achievement, and 47.2% retention from reaching level 33
Epic: 13%, so 15.5% player retention from the first achievement, and 36.1% retention from reaching level 33.

So steam players seem to play through more of expedition 33.

when we already bought the game years ago.

Then that says more about you as being a braindead consoomer. I would never buy Dead Island 2 because I thought Dead Island 1 sucked fucking dick. Now I actually get a chance to try Di2 and can see if they improved on it for free.

And Nioh? Nioh was a great game. GTA V was a cool game. Hell, you went all these years and never got Fallout 3? Or Bamham Arkham games? Like, what do you even play if you need all these old games for free?

I don't have an EGS account and I never will.

dead game

I have to try a game I expect to suck dick because it's free

If someone gave you a lifetime supply of hardtack would you eat it for breakfast every day?

actually a lot of the games dont have drm so you can just open the game directly without opening egs

This whole thing is a comedy, because the EGS loses $250,000,000 a year trying to make people buy their games while the jeetdeemers boast about how they don't have to spend money and can just redeem free games.

i stopped redeeming free epic games like 2 years ago. never even played all the ones i did and rebought them on steam on sale lmao

Steamies schizo, you're a little over your quota today. I hope the saars running the call center give you three extra rupees this month (who the fuck uses Zelda currency?).

Fellow EGS sissies, our supremacy is undeniable with our new free 2 year old open world slop game

Dead Literally What 2

Half-Life, one of the greatest games ever made

Halo Wars

bad

is that way

Steamies said it was bad when I made this thread though

Dead Island 2 free

i wouldn't play that even if you paid me

I'm going to list some lesser-known sites where you can get a lot of freeware.
Japanese indies:
booth.pm
freem.ne.jp
dev.onionsoft.net/seed/info.ax / hsp.tv
freegame-mugen.jp

have fun

ZX Spectrum

It ain't chewsday, bruv.

i've spent 0 dollars on egs and the only games i played are frostpunk and death stranding.

are frostpunk and death stranding.

Peak contrarianism

frostpunk and death stranding.

Based

Based autism sim fag.

Cool, but you're acting like playing a game you assumed was trash just because it’s free suddenly makes you smarter than someone who paid for it. If Dead Island 1 sucked for you, that’s fine, but flexing about finally trying the sequel years later because it costs $0 doesn’t exactly scream "critical thinking." It just sounds like you're bored and desperate enough to try anything if it's tossed in your lap.

But I like the zombie melee genre (Dying Light), I just don't like bad ones (Dead Island 1). If there's a chance Dead Island 2 is good, why shouldn't I try it for free?

Steamies are unironically low IQ

Remember when Timmy said EGS would only allow high quality games and no shovelware? What happened fellow epiggies?

Steam still has way worse games

And way more better games.

I only ever installed Fortnite via EGS and it blue screened my PC during download. I don't know why but EGS really strains both PC and internet when you download something. I've used a lot of launchers but this kind of thing only happened in EGS and that awful Rockstar one and that's fucking bad
Also you can't just transfer the game from one disc to another or create a backup like in steam, you have to uninstall and reinstall it again
Fortnite was good though, I can see why kids play it
