but enough about tim sweeney

don't forget

keeps taxing 1/3 of the PC gaming industry's revenue just for offering download links and a basic website's features

ah shit you posted "tim sweeney"
guess OP is completely wrong now
ALL HAIL GABEN AND HIS MONOPOLY

not his fault everyone refuses to use other services besides steam

works with SBI

the company is infested with Indians, the VP is Indian

donates money to democrats and are overall really woke

Anon Babble still defends them

I don't get it, doesn't matter what valve does. Anon Babble will somehow defend them no matter what.

Actually his fault.
Forced steam on everyone's throat with exclusives like half life 2, counterstrike etc.
The whole steam sales thing to trick lots of new retards into their ecosystem.
Now steam is too big to ever fail.

don't care Nintendo mogs the fuck out of gayben

If that was what brought people to and compelled them to stay then the EGS exclusives would have converted more people.

>spends monopoly money on fleet of yachts instead of giving back to industry

unlike Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo
Valve isnt afraid to tell a dev who only wants to nickle and dime to eat shit

Did you miss the part where valve was there first and by the time EGS exclusives even happened millions of retards over the world already built steam libraries with hundreds of games? Steam isn't called monopoly for nothing. They are basically like government of PC gaming at this point. That's how untouchable steam is.

Riot's launcher alone have more users than all of steam, all the top played steam games are f2p crap mostly played by chinks and bots.
Non of the most played games on PC are on steam.
People heavily overestimate how many people actually use steam.

wow Valve why did you not give up on PC gaming in the mid 2000's like Epic did? why were you building a PC storefront then?

maybe the other devs shouldnt have mass abandoned the platform

do people on Riots launcher play anything other than Valorant and League?

Why does that matter? It just shows how few people actually use steam if 2 games alone can have more users than all of steam.

Not to mention it's just gambling, I have no idea why everyone praises him so much. He's cancer.

lol valve was the only one allowing that for any period of time. That garbage (and malware) is hard banned on all of those platforms.

Valve worshipers have always been the dumbest fucks in the scene
Incidentally, Anon Babble has always been one of the lowest IQ boards on Anon Babble even before consoletards took over the place

theres no forced advertisements on console

lol

theres no malware

thats called the console OS

I see you're retarded and don't even know what Valve has banned. Figure that out and then you can reply to me.

Console fag

I see you're retarded

LMAO

daily epigjeet seething at the superior platform

Why are you making fun of Indians? If you like Valve you must love indians, because it's an indian company

seethe more you worthless indian

So do you like Valve... but hate Indians when Valve is infested with indians? The freaking VP is indian.

you retarded gypsy, the 30% is on the devs and it's an industry standard. Not having it won't make the games cheaper as epic had proved

There is no "co-CEO" of valve and only certain VPs of certain departments you utter subhuman, and yes unfortunately pajeets work at valve like they do in every western company

Yeah anon all western gaming companies have an indian as their VICE PRESIDENT and all the high ranking roles to Indians.

But feel free to prove me wrong and show all these high positioned indians at Epic, you're the one that claimed Epic was indian after all.

invents lootbox cancer

But that was maplestory, the rest is true though.

Why do Indians post on 4tran pretending that they are 4tranners who hate Indians?

Killing GFWL saved PC gaming, correct. You're too young to know about it, stop idolizing an era you didn't live through.

Valve pay indians to shill like crazy here and they know nobody likes indians

OP, i know you are currently sucking Tyronne's dick clean after he was done pumping your femboy girlfriend (male) but clearly you can't be so stupid to see all of the good Valve is doing by literally applying regulations to AAA(A) studios tryin to further enshitify the industry.
I'm sure Valve knows they're the ones who fucked things in the beginning for some things, like lootboxes, but they're doing work to prevent further degradation an actually work to fix the industry through playing hardball with the EA, Sony, Microsoft and Ubisoft and co.

It was actually this guy that invented paid mods and loot boxes

Kmmos were doing gachas before the west

Valve is the one that POPULARIZED lootboxes, yes there was some instances with lootbox stuff before. But Valve is the company resonable for making it normalized, before people shat on it and then Valve made it and it was ok.

Stop being racist

Bethesda invented paid mods for skyrim

Yes, and?

why do rich people like yachts so much

>invents paid mods

id did that with final doom

billionaires are vain, like extremely so.

invented paid mods

wrong

invented lootbox cancer

true

kills physical media

it's not Valve's fault that stores stopped selling physical media. They just offered an alternative.

rampant censorship

you mean the one instance with Hatred that they walked back on? lol
Unless you mean the H visual novel slop that was initially removed from steam in which case ill give you that one.

spends monopoly money on fleet of yachts instead of giving back to industry

So you are triggered that Gabe is rich and doesn't paypig his personal wealth to random developers?

monopoly money

Not sure if ESL or underage retard

Don't forget:

Put leftoids in charge of the discussion boards

Your reviews can be deleted if found "offensive"

Your account will be locked if you get banned by jannies

Banned developers like the Domina dev for criticizing troons

Cultist behavior

Shut up Chris brat you're a fucking faggot

it's not Valve's fault

faggot, they literally started game key cards with half life 2

But when Microsoft and Sony ask for 30% cut it's alright

yeah because they publish and market games. Valve does nothing for the industry

shoo shoo, console drone

I don't think Valve stops other publishers from publishing games outside of Steam though. Just looks like a monopoly because it just werks.
If Epic actually tried to build their launcher with features like Steam (workshop, controller API, streaming, and a bunch of other shit) then I think more people would use it.

Not an argument

Gaben/Valve will make YOTLD real

So will you stop using steam?

be timmy tencent

seethe at valve and gaben

refuse to improve your own store

spend literally hundreds of dollars on jeets to shitpost about steam

Imagine if Timmy made a deal with publishers that they would only have to pay a 15% cut instead of 30% and a 5% if you are an indie game. He could drain steam dry but he is FASD'ed so it is what it is

enter thread about Valve

seething about Epic games

GOOD MORNING SAAR

be cultist

anyone who criticizes your god (gabe) is the devil (tim)

Its funny atheists replaced actual god with praising corporations

Epic store is the best thing that has happened to Valve, because know their paid indian shills and cultist fans can use that to deflect any criticism.
Seriously, make any kind of negative post about Valve and it will instantly be bombarded by "BUT WHATABOUTISM EPIC!?"

As bad as Gaben is he is no where near as anti consumer as Timmy

Forced steam on everyone's throat with exclusives like half life 2, counterstrike etc.

And this is bad because you are a retarded Anon Babble nigger, I guess.

gaben bad

timmy bad

ms good

sony GOOD

nintendo EXTRA GOOD

What causes this mental illness?

Tim gives free games and gabe doesn't so tim is nore pro consumer

You are too young to remember collective seethe caused by steam exclusivity

tim gives free shit so he is better because steam gives no shit

lmao

Valve employees used to shill and post here back when a lot of today's users used to be underageb&s. That's why there was so little resistance to Anon Babble accepting Steam to play HL2.

invents lootbox cancer

lol you're dumb

Here is another crackhead conspiracy theory

gaben actually runs Anon Babble and uses it for free marketing

No one cares about maple story or whatever.
Valve is effectively the one responsible for starting the lootbox cancer with TF2 mann kike crates.

Yeah anon those daily Steam Deck threads that directly link stuff to reddit are totally organic.

Yes

everyone has already forgotten the 2010s "praise Lord Gaben! PC mustard race" era of PC gaming

The reason everyone ignores Steam's faults and shits on everything else is because they were literally psyopped into worshipping him. It's a company strategy to make a brand a religion.

I am actually gaben, please delete your thread because you are making people notice things they should not notice.

it's the same turd worlder schizo making his retarded valve hate thread again

surprised you did not mention artifact yet

Why does Anon Babble like Sweet Baby Inc now?

any now trannies are licking his cock because he bundled a shitty windows emulator on his walled garden and channting YOTLD-ACK

When did paid mods happen? I thought they stopped it because you tards threw a tantrum, now we lost a decade of capitalist incentive to create great mods and stories ushering in new talent and opportunities because of a bunch of commie entitled faggots

Based

But only turd-worlders use steam to begin with anon. English is only the 3rd most used language on the platform, after chinese and russian.

He had no choice.

no one cares about the aztecs we'll keep saying george washington carver invented peanut butter

Hey fuckhead, go make a real game instead of DEIdlock. If your washed-up company has any talent left, that is.

There's a bunch of free games on Steam
Also great games are never given for free by anyone, the best you can hope for is mediocre ones

Make a platform that has cheaper keys on sketchy sites and I use that.

Valve gave half life and L4D2 for free so those are mediocre

That was a myth that sprouted while he was still alive. He was a smart guy who was just like "Peanuts are great. Here's like a thousand things you can do with them." (and only actually patented a handful as his own creation IIRC) and people in the early 1900s went nuts and blew it all out of proportion.
I think it was Kellogg who actually made and patented the first peanut butter as we would recognize it.

I used to think Tim was great for creating unreal engine and making it free.
But Unreal slop is what's destroying the industry.
There's no salvaging it now.

You forgot that they also invented the battlepass.

does nothing

keeps winning

they were still teaching he was the inventor in the 80s

Cultist thinking

kills physical media

Physical media for PC games were on a slow fall because it was hard to standardize the sales model. Especially as console gaming started rising and tooking space from stores.
Steam also made their storefront the best and made it easier for you to access all kinds of games. Printing games for smaller devs with covere and inviting big box packaging takes money.

YOTLD

It's never going to happen, ever.
I'm not saying this as some kind of revelatory "haha poor linuxcucks"
I'm saying this as a statement of fact. Linux will never overtake windows.

I know. I'm just saying the myth is as old as the guy himself because people have always been fucking dumb and like mythologizing people.

Yes, yes, well done. However

Created the best platform for gamers

Helped the indie and modding scenes to thrive

Saved pc gaming from the dark ages

Saved linux gaming

Steam sales

Has made some kino games with Valve

Gaben has some skeletons in his closet, but that doesn't erase all the good he did to pc gaming with Steam

Saved pc gaming from the dark ages

How? The moment Steam got popular the golden age of PC gaming died, if anything he KILLED PC gaming.

And unlike lootboxes that was actually their creation.

Now here me out, innovative idea

Service that's equal to or better than steam

It's that simple

ALL HAIL GABEN AND HIS MONOPOLY

this but unironically

Average PC consoomer already has 100s of games on their steam libraries at minimum so they won't easily shop outside steam unless it's a very hyped game (something in the levels of hl3, wc4, dow4 etc.) exclusive in another place hence people calling steam rightfully monopoly. Steam got where they are through underhanded tactics like sales, exclusives and that is exactly the only way to beat them. Except steam had a gigantic head start and now you have to first make revolutionary game and second something better than old and tested steam which is basically impossible to pull of by any average joe or billionaire jew.

It was inevitable as soon as the concept of launchers was born that someone would "win" the market. I think we're incredibly fortunate that a privately owned company is that winner. Imagine if it was some publicly traded shitters looking for a way to reduce costs every week and never once considering how to make consumers INTENTIONALLY spend more money by offering them things they want.

I dont use other services (besides torrents) because I buy shit for 50% or more on sale on steam lol

I only really use Steam and GOG because they actually have something to offer me.
Epic doesn't really have much to bring to the table compared to either of them so besides free games there just isn't anything worthwhile to keep me there.

sales and exclusives are underhanded tactics

Jfc anon

timmy tencent seething

its OK all things should end
I hope videogames die soon and we move on to the next thing

Well, yeah. Why do I need steam running in background to play half life 2? It's bullshit and jewish.

Riot actually multiplies those numbers btw. If you play more than one game on their launcher, they count you as multiple users.

Free games from epic is better than bot free games on steam

Why do I need steam running in background to play half life 2?

That's the funny thing, you don't.
HL2 launches from the exe without Steam.

They don't even count valorant in those numbers, so it's TFT and LoL. and the playerbase barely overlaps t here.

So what else good does epic have besides free games they give out ever once in awhile?

At the time it also included Legends of Runeterra and Wild Rifts in the launcher when the articles about their monthly active users was released a few years back.

Made the greatest game engine of all time

Made the best shooter of all time

Gives free games

Fights agaisnt Valves ILLEGAL monopoly

Remember that here on Anon Babble we salute Tim Sweeney in his fight against Gabes satanic cabal

invents lootbox cancer

That was maplestory

it's more accurate to say valve POPULARIZED lootboxes yeah
and even then valve wasn't anywhere close to as predatory with it as other companies were and still are, it's all cosmetic shit

ILLEGAL

You've seen those lawsuits?

Yes
Hasn't been determined to be illegal by the courts yet.
Case a few months back got changed to a class action but there hasn't been any updates since then.
The big thing I don't like is that it's only stated that it affects Steam Keys but from the handful of emails from the case they clearly don't and should have been in the terms from day one.

Steamie seethes at the idea of Tim standing for the Truth, Justice, and the American Way

As expected of the third world commies worshiping Gaben

spic larping as american

lmao

wasn't anywhere close to as predatory with it

You have to buy keys to open the fucking box, overwatch gives you free lootboxes you can open without money

Hello, Timothy.

You literally have to pay like 300 bucks for some skins in Dota 2, it's more than jewish.

it's all cosmetic shit
i repeat
the boxes have nothing vital in them
they're all cosmetic
even maplestory was worse about this by having game functions in its cash shop in 2004

You can buy stuff in Dota 2 like double down tokens that people abuse to wintrade, and have to pay for a sub that gives you systems and game mechanics you otherwise don't have.

Difference being who gives a shit about DOTA 2. And I'm not kidding either, people point to TF2 as the source of Valve's love for lootboxes and that game still isn't predatory about monetization.

Having your game on steam is already enough marketing, if it sells well at all it gets bannered for a few days and a pop up ad on steam launch. We've seen the comparison time and time again on exclusives coming from snoy and epic to steam, and the results are always staggeringly in steams favor. Maybe because you don't need a shitty third party console or more slopware on your pc to add to your already big library

isn't buying exclusivity more monopolistic behavior than, i dunno, putting the games your company made exclusively on your store?

This literally doesn't happen I have over 9k hours in dota 2 I'm top 400 immortal and people don't win trade. The only person I've ever even seen buy a fucking double down token is a hardstuck herald 5k hours into the game who thinks they belong higher so they double up and head back to single digit mmr

nobody gives a shit about the 2-3 most played game on steam

so steam is dead?

no i will not elaborate because i love penis

lmao

Đ½eÑ‚

How did he save PC gaming when PC gaming was the worst the moment Steam got popular?

posted from my iphone

yes lol
it's also a passive admittance that your store doesn't have anything going for it in comparison, you have to force the issue on people using your store
sweeney fully understands he's never going to beat steam but same as ubisoft, EA and amazon he thought he was gonna buy his way into dominance over steam
maybe if they'd tried in 2003 when steam first launched he'd have had something but it was already more than ten years late to try when he started EGS in 2018

still doesn't elaborate on how it was worse the moment steam got popular

Christ, you ARE gay, aren'tcha?

ex-fucking-actly

How did it get better? You were the on that first claimed that Valve saved PC gaming... how?

Steam is simply a better platform. There isn't any other, and I'm fine with it because my friends and games library are on it and I'm not some Zigger that's been VAC Banned.

Tim can give all the freebies he wants, it won't make me leave Steam. And you're doomed to make the same thread over and over thinking I give two shits what Gabe Newell does in his spare time being rich.

Lemme guess, you said nigger, got vac banned, and went on a crazy revenge spiral thinking these threads will do any sort of damage?

This. Steam just came first, and was built better. Everyone else is just trying to be it's own Steam without all the things people like and have on Steam already.

does "securom" ring any bells

I will never not laugh at the suits acting like the parasites they are begging for a piece of someone else's pie.

steam is a monopoly

steam is racist

steam is anti game dev

It's hilarious and pathetic

It's a status symbol. The Rich flexing on other Rich. Competing with the Hendersons but more high stakes.

Cultist post

So Steam forcing DRM to everyone was saving PC gaming because a few few games had some shitty RNG that everyone hated and complained about?

clearly securom doesn't ring a bell which is doubly awkward since you're complaining about DRM

WHY CAN'T I JUST BUY 300 SHARES OF MY COMPETITION AND CRASH THEM LIKE IN EVERY OTHER INDUSTRY

COMPETING IS HARD

THIS IS DISCRIMINATION

corporate seething is delicious

read the post again

The alternatives to the "cult" are all worse in their own way, lad.

Also, the cult provides Tunngle or Hamachi styled IP passthrough for easy server hosting.

i keep a lot of games on an external SSD and steam is by far the easiest to manage shit on

Two words cultist: Free. Games.

i did, you called securom fucking "RNG" and not what it actually is

What's funny is that he's still infinitely superior to when he dies and his replacement makes mandatory AI generated ads before you launch a game, requires a 15 dollar subscription to access your account and bans all "objectional content".

ESL brownoid complains about steam because he can't afford games

Steam did not make PC gaming worse it made it way more accessible to devs and to consumers. It's been nothing but a win for gamers any trannies like you seething over steam or "muh monopoly" need to hang. If other platforms want to compete then they should put out real competition

He IS ex Microsoft nigger after all...

I..if you don't use epic or gog you're a CULTIST

No I have a functioning brain if I wanted free games I'd download them online for FREE without having to give my data to some retard corpo. Sorry that you're poor and can't afford to buy games but coming here to shill your dogpiss platforms is embarrassing. You niggers make the same threads simping for epic gog or whatever platform but you never see daily threads about people shilling steam. Who's the real cultists here let's be honest

cultists got triggered that people are waking up to Gabens bullshit

advocating piracy and calling others poorfags all in once sentence

do shills even try?

Pc gaming was mostly on a downfall after the 90s because people preferred to game on consoles back then, and because piracy was so easy, no company would be bothered to create a decent pc port of their game.
Valve offered a convenient way to purchase vidya on pc with Steam, which pretty much revolutionized the industry.

Killed PC gaming and the rest of arguments in OP

Hollow arguments that follow the same logic with Bethesda's Horse Armor DLC.
Micro transactions and digital only purchases were unfortunately the future. If X company wouldnt pull the first move, then eventually another would have.
If you want to blame someone about microtransactions, blame the cattle goyim who bought that shit. About the death of physical media, blame the vidya market expansion. Now everyone can make videogames and everyone can sell their slop online. Creating a physical version has always been a hassle, and people nowadays have such ridiculously big libraries, the majority doesnt care about owning a physical version of their games anyways. Nowadays, its all about coonsooming and get excited for the next thing.
Moreover, blame how usb's killed CDs, and how vidya became so large, that they would need 2-4 DL blu rays to fit in.

Censoring

Steam is the least censored platform in the industry. I dont know where that comes from

Paid modding

Yes, its scummy, but Im sure that actual modders are behind that movement, not Steam. Steam mostly gaslights them in order to get a cut from their profits, but so far modding is a free thing.
Bethesda and Rockstar have done more damage to the modding scene than Gaben did

giving back to industry

if you make money you're supposed to give it away instead of spending it as you see fit?
fuck off with this commie rubbish retard

muh greater good

no such thing exists

introduces paid mods

apologizes and reverts the changes

bethesda keeps using them because they're jews

etc.

I trust gaben the white op is a faggot

What bullshit ovef 15y I've saved more in USD than epic could ever offer for free

Read it again saar I know you're retarded and brown but you're being paid 8 cents a day to shill epic on here at least do your job right you useless nigger.

Is fucking HALF LIFE 3 not enough for you?

monopoly

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Butthurt anti Valve faggot are somehow more retarded than Volvo cultists.

Gaben.png - 680x629, 1.5M

everything you said was done by shittendo first

I don't get it?

If devs don't like it they can just host their games somewhere else. Many options.

after 9 years in development, hopefully it'll been worth the weight
worth the weight
worth the weight
worth the weight
worth the weight

Because they consider anyone who doesn't 100% hate Valve is a cultist.
There is no thought, just shitposting and baiting.

yeah because they publish and market games

I'm a bit confused here anon, you're implying that microsoft and sony have games for their systems, which is verifiably not true.

now we lost a decade of capitalist incentive to create great mods

We can look at bethesda's creation club right now to see just what kind of "quality" the incentives produce.

take huge gamble on digital distribution

everyone thinks it's retarded

steam is awful at launch

most people ignore it

spend years cultivating and improving steam

suddenly everyone else realizes its a great model

NOW it's a monopoly

I mean, I'm not a huge fan of all the gambling crap for skins and whatever, but Valve isn't a monopoly over anything, they were just the first to the scene by a long shot so they are just better than everyone else at what they do. The would be competition is just bytt hurt about it because they want a bigger piece of the pie.

What ARE retards talking about with "exclusivity" on Steam? I always see "people" saying that but Steam has never had any exclusivity outside of their own games.

I did no such thing, retard.

nta, but the jury is out on HL3. Valve has lost a ton of talent over the years since they don't haaave to make games anymore, which is a good and bad thing, since they aren't forced to churn out slop at the behest of some corpo board for a profit motive, but it also means that they don't retain actual game dev talent the way they used to.

Oh man, remember the times before Steam was popular when there was no DRM on PC and everything was an utopian dream not run by a monopolistic company?

GFWL.jpg - 1200x559, 83.88K

This. Epic only takes like 10% right? It's so cool to see all these publishers moving over there and passing those savings onto the customers because just like they told everyone that's the real problem with steam, they make games more expensive! Lol

steam has pretty much no forced exclusivity besides the obvious VALVe titles, so the only reason steam is the only platform some games are released on is by developer choice

It's 12% but your point stands.
Trickledown is a meme.

It was a better time, so much proper support for PC titles too. Valve really killed such a good thing

Killing GFWL saved PC gaming, correct.

This. If it weren't Valve as gatekeepers, with their massive support for Linux, it would have been fucking Microsoft and locking game DRM to Windows.

he was being sarcastic you newfag retard, GFWL was literally an abomination of bad ideas

To be fair it was a pretty insignificant bullet point when the EGS push started, but it was one of the funnier ones

he is also being sarcastic

Anon..lmao...lurk more

unreleased game

even if it did release, might follow in 2's footsteps in being a moviegame

The irony of corporations like microsoft whining about monopolies because they can't buy out valve

Remember when Microsoft completely dropped PC support and focused entirely on the Xbox 360 to peddle paid online and DLC to retarded kids and young adults?
Such a nostalgic time!

Xbox kids.jpg - 508x346, 47.56K

nta, but I remember the initial seethe steam existence has caused. It was mostly coming from ye olde gamer boomers who were writing for pc gaming magazines and were avid collectors as well. they were saying that steam will fail because there is no option to order a physical copy as well, they were living in the adsl age and couldn't grasp faster internet speeds, and couldnt trust valve creating a vidya platform because they are but a mere videogame company that makes videogames

wasn't alive/too young to remember HL2 at launch

The funny thing about the 30% is that it only applies to big companies, and that retail asks for way more, but of course companies like Microsoft are exempt from plenty of costs in the USA which is why their fucking platforms got any traction in the first place.
Along with a retarded fanbase of course
American patriot wannabes sucking off one of the most cosmopolitan multinationals in existence!

The service was fucking shit, that was the reason, from activation issues to launch issues.
It was ahead of it's time, broken at launch, but they stuck along with it, took some financial hits and it paid off in the long term.

I mean 12% vs 30% from Valve, Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft is pretty big.
But the delusion it would lead to lower prices was silly especially acting like they would do that was a pipe dream of idealization.

rampant censorship

?????

Bro just pay for Xbox live, it's only 50 dollars a year to access your internet for P2P hosted games, you aren't poor are you? It's coming to GFWL anyway.

Oh for sure. I was genuinely excited at the prospect of EGS when it was announced. Market competition for Steam would be great. It's just that none of the people trying are actual competition. It's just a bunch of corpos trying to muscle into the market with inferior platforms. I fully welcome an actual competitor to Steam. GoG could be of they wanted to be. But they opted for standards that are great but put them out of the running against steam. I still will purchase from GoG though, while Tim will never get any money from me.

I was a console gamer back then so I dont fully know how steam was at launch, but that doesnt surprise me.

Watching this industry burn to the ground shouldn't be this hilarious

favela monkie still butthurt his nigger rig can't run CS2

many such cases!

People think devs and publishers censoring cleavage in their dating sim games is Steam censoring them. It's just retards anon

EGS shills, Volvo fags and tendies calling each other cultists

Yeah I feel ya.
My biggest complaint was how slow they were to push updates and actually improve the damn launcher. I was already conditioned to ignore it as a UE dev and thought the store would improve their focus on the overall launcher but boy was I wrong.

I don't give a shit about amerimutt politics thoughbeit

Yeah exactly, when it launched I was an EGS sympathizer. New platform, had to get their legs, offering a better monetary split to attract devs and all that, but then yeah, the shop was shit. The store was shit, and instead of fixing it they just started throwing heaps of cash at exclusivity deals and smear campaigns instead of making their own shit better. Really a shame in a lot of ways.

I waited 15 years for this, it all tastes so sweet!
The retarded consoomers who kept defending it being butthurt about it is even better!
Now these retarded normalfags can't even afford AAA games.

EGS

All they needed to do was push Unreal Tournament 4 and fund mid sized developers for games exclusive on their platform.
What a complete waste of everybodies time and money.

works with SBI

the vice president and all high standing devs are Indians

donates money to democrats

hire outspoken leftist BLM activists

bans anime games from their store

did I miss something?

But devs already only pay 12% on Timmycel's store, retard.
However I as a consumer don't give a shit about devs being taxed less if I pay the same price

There are no EGS shills itt
Valvedroᥒes are just falseflagging as usual because they know they can't argue back legitimately

100 vbucks have been added to your Epic Games account.

Epic gives away either shovelware or a good game that I already played 5 years prior.
Good practice for farming turd worlders I guess, but do you really want them as your main target market

All they had to really do was make a reliable functioning platform and it would have caught SOME traction. And yeah, using some of their own solid games as exclusive titles to pull more users in would help and all that but they just took the worst possible course. How Tim still has his job sort of blows my mind sometimes.

you are literally one of them, you blatant homo.

store doesn't have lots of unnecessary facebook features for normalfags

"THE STORE IS NOT FUNCTIONAL!"

I've never had any issues starting any game there, what's your issue?

They will take those games away too. I went back to try and play one of the "free" games they "gave" me, and it just told me the game wasn't available and removed it from my library when I tried to install it lol

cope

invents paid mods

Quake total conversions and Duke Nukem 3D map packs were sold boxed in retail stores long before that

invents lootbox cancer

Fifa Ultimate Team pre-dates the TF2 lootbox update by several years

kills physical media

Sony did that with Limited Lifetime Activations in SecuROM

rampant censorship

Games have always been censored ever since the Atari days.
For PC games specifically even back during the physical disc days most brick and mortar game stores never sold porn games, you typically had to buy those from either porn stores or online.

Sure they did Ranjit

more like murdered it

whatever, I just sold counter strike shit again and got $50. I have down this like 3 fucking times already. I haven't played this game in like 6 years.

no shopping cart for YEARS

would flag you for trying to purchase multiple games too fast

lol. lmao.

dilate

would flag you for trying to purchase multiple games too fast

Nice missinformation Arjun, this was the persons bank that flagged him. Not Epic

no shopping cart for YEARS

And they added it and it wasn't need at first because the store didn't have many games? Like who the fuck complains about this minor issue?

So the store is unusable for you because you couldn't mass buy games? Is that it?

Well firstAside from that they didnt/don't (I havent even tried to use EGS for years now) have basic functionality like a cart for multiple purchases. The UI for the store was/is terrible.

one scrap metal has been added to your steam inventory for this post

source?
ALSO

the store didn't have many games

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Show me some proof of this

Nuh uuuuuh!

Lol, fix your shitty platform Timmy

YOU HAVE TO PAY

No you don't nigga, you don't have to buy skins, you can enjoy the game literally for the price of a janny's salary

Still more valuable than timbucks

You know this exact same thing has happened on Steam?

I don't have EGS installed but it happened with the copy of Control they gave away years back, when I went to play it it wouldn't let me install it and now it's just not in my library anymore, so I dunno what proof I would have to show you anyway.

Don't forget.

making a sting operation with fbi to throw an autistic 12 year old german kid in a federal prison under pretense of inviting him for a tour of Valve

post proof; i'll wait for that reddit link from /fuckepic

Never happened to me in 20 years of using steam, but when it does I'll stop buying games on Steam

Why do valve drones literally suck Gabens cock as if he's some sort of messiah? Is it fanboyism or obsession or something else?

this is supposed to make me hate valve? locking up tismos? that shit's based beyond comprehension.

post proof

Lol you want proof that control isn't on my EGS library so you can just say I never had it in the first place shill fag? Keep collecting those penny's jeet bot

penny's

nice self report

Gaben fucked me in the ass

It was the Sims community that invented paid mods

Awww man, that autocorrect is the smoking gun jeet, I made it all up, EGS really is a greatly platform, please for buying the EGS, gaben is benchod fag. Mr. Sweeny have never take free game back

Finally, someone else said.
Steam Decks threads have to be the largest marketing push I have ever seen. Those fucking things are turbo dead.

Nah, it's more like blind nostalgia.
"Valve is good because they were cool in the 2000s".

OMG CUM INSIDE MY FUCKING MOUTH GABE

PLEASE GAPE MY ASSHOLE

Okay, bro...

Steam took 1000 dollars from my bank account randomly, never using it again.

It's worth noting that the 30% take is only for games that don't hit certain thresholds. Once they have enough sales it drops, since the static costs have been covered at that point.
30% is only an issue for shovelware and/or AAA duds

least obvious egs shill

Valvetrannies are still in denial about the death of their favourite developer. Valve died the moment they embraced the casino revenue model instead of the classic model, as it meant that they don't need to try to innovate as games continue generating revenue long after they are out.

I'm a shill because I don't parrot a lie from /fuckepic made by paid VaIvejeets?

That's just the curse of live services
