I misread it, so my fault, guess I'll be adding that to spam as soon as I can.Well they totally tricked me with that opt out. I had read it and figured it said click here to opt in.
Their plan is to 'correct it" as time goes on. Likely after a significant number of games have been dropped free and people click thinking it's something elseIsn't that shit even illegal in Europe? Iirc GDPR has allways to be opt-in, not opt-out.
Man, will my AMD r7 260, core i7 920 and 6gb ram PC run subnautica.
Man I want the console version I'm not a PC gamer.
How do you suggest they compete then?
Incredible that you even find a way to bitch about free games
I guess when you can't actually compete as a storefront you can always try to bribe people over with cheap/freehitsgames.
You would think that with all that money they would develop a launcher rich of features.
I mean, unlike PS+ these games are actually free lol
It really didn't just launch. They've had a store for years. They're just finally deciding to make use of it.
I "bought" my free copy last night, even though I have Subnautica on Steam.
You can't even create a wishlist. No cloud saving. No effort whatsoever on Epic's part outside of trying to buy their way in. You also have to check a box to opt out of the developer sending you emails, and spreading your information around.
It is what it is. I'll take my freebies because, why not? But I'll wait to play the money hat games when they're available on better platforms that offer the features I'm accustomed to using.
PS+ is successful because it's mandatory on PS4. If it was just monthly games, people wouldn't sub to it. They could even take the monthly games away and lose almost no subs.

What are they missing for a new storefront? Asking for a friend.Should have launched with some basic features. Origin had more at launch 7 years ago.
It isn't 14 years ago or 7 - it is 2018, they had time to release some basic features as the launcher did already exist. Just now there is a store.

I started playing subnautica yesterday and I am completely hooked.Looking forward to trying Subnautica and even though I'm against storefront exclusivity I had to buy Hades because it's too damn good.

This is competition at work, and people are already complaining about how there's competition lol. I love Steam, I think they are fantastic and have done an obscene amount for the industry, remain a private company and continue to do very developer and consumer friendly things. But there's nothing wrong with extra competition.Holy Shit are you ever happy?
Like they're giving a free game, yes enticement, but literally FREE
How's this hurting anyome, it's a valid promotion
Have you never heard get the customer through the door, everything will work out
Hell fast food up-sells like a motherfucker, they want you in their store, you'll want the cheap or free shut, but majority but extra, hence the same promotion
Yup! You just have to have Steam VR open, then run the game and it automatically switchs to VR mode. I'm 4 hours in and it's the only way I'm gonna play because it's too damn good.Can you play it in VR through the Epic store?
Subnautica in VR is terrific. Gives me that weird vertigo but underwater feeling.
I thought some of you lot were all about supporting the devs. Buy the games if you want them.
It's crazy. I saw some people in one of these threads complaining that these free games aren't a benefit to the consumer because the giveaways might only last a year. Someone else complained that the free games are no good because they don't have Steam trading cards!Holy Shit are you ever happy?

Here were some of those posts from that thread. And what a coincidence, you were there at the exact same time replying to me with, "But no one is complaining. People are pointing out that it isnt a store benefit, because it literally isnt." And now you're at it again.I mean that just on you not reading what people are actually saying.
Free if you agree to give your info over to Tencent. Nothing is ever truly free.
The conversation was about store features. Free games aren't a feature, it's a time limited promotion.Here were some of those posts from that thread.

"generally they seem to be bit more of a middle of a ground indie titles with scores around 6-7... they're just gonna do that for next year and stop doing it?"
"Giving free games does nothing except make users wait and not buy."
"It's also a bit disengenious. Those free games are not benefits"
"anything free that's not on my wishlist is useless. Especially true for some people if there's no steam trading cards."

Stop it with your bad faith posting.The conversation was about store features. Free games aren't a feature, it's a time limited promotion.
I'm the one posting in bad faith? You came in here literally lying about what the discussion in other thread was about.
Is there something about Tencent's business practices that make this more risky than other companies in the industry?
Because somehow me posting what people actually said, and you claiming those things were never said, is *me* lying. LOL, sure OK. Like I said, stop it with your bad faith posting.I'm the one posting in bad faith? You came in here literally lying about what the discussion in other thread was about.
They're in bed with the chinese government who also funds hacking groups. What could a hacking group do with access to information....
Meanwhile the UK/US governments undermine corporate security and businesses through its hacking endeavours and almost all large companies shrug if they have a data breach.They're in bed with the chinese government who also funds hacking groups.

Hacking groups have enough data that they're not going to do piss with your email and basic information.
