When Discord releases a game as successful as Fortnite.
Oh nice, thanks for reading the thread and replies and considering them. This issue has got so muddied up in discussions. Idk if you just don't use steam, but I feel like people that haven't been heavy into PC gaming in the last decade or so don't fully understand why steam is what it is. It's not like it was created and bam was huge. They've done a lot of work to make buying games on PC a trustworthy and positive experience. Back when companies avoided PC citing piracy as the reason and that no one on PC wanted to pay for games. Now we have tons of games on PC that never would've thanks to steam like with Sega and other Japanese companies that were console only before. Also paved the way for more services to be successful like gog. Epic hasn't really proven to have a good service, besides getting exclusives.
Sweeney said it was unsustainable in the long run. But whatever man, if you enjoy supporting anti-consumer practices then go right ahead. Games are not that important, even though it is my biggest hobby, I can wait for certain games to no longer be exclusives only because EGS has no value as a storefront without money-hatting for exclusives.
I dunno, I can see the argument, but there's still not enough detail in the numbers for me. I mean, I've just done my taxes, and the word "imagine" doesn't really cut it with the IRS (hmm, actually not strictly true as I did submit estimated numbers for some things).
if he looks like a freak when he eats toast, then those are the facts and you should accept it.
"Television Evangelist". They could also call it the Trump act too.They are actually reporting on Tim and Company's bullshit. I am shook. This might be the first critical article of the Epic Games Store. Good show on RPS!
This.
Hadn't seen this yet, thanks. Good read.
If you care so much about dev revenue and platform cuts, why are you playing Destiny 2 on Xbox instead of giving 100% of your $60 to
Okay, fair enough. Could I get examples of when he previously tweeted something and did not honor it?
Alright, that's fair. No one should ever have to forcibly work 100 hour weeks. That's insane and cruel, however, if they choose to do this then it's on them. I know, there are dev's who work for 80 - 100 hours per week because they fear they will be fired...but is that not their own fault? Instead of speaking up and airing their issues, they resort to begrudgingly doing the work and complaining about it online...I assure you if I was the boss and found out, they would be fired. I want a genuine discussion here, Tim is in the wrong if he created an atmosphere where you feel threatened to work 80+ hour weeks BUT it is also the employees fault for not standing up for him/herself.
Please read this and then come back and blame the employees.
If you still wanted to know what justify Valve's 30% besides they are not actually that much in the bigger picture here's mine that I compiled from devs posts here in ERA:
The thing I want to reply to you with would get me banned, so all I'll say is this: you have no idea what you're talking about, and I sincerely hope you never become a manager or boss anywhere.
I don't know if you're naive but that is one hell of a victim blame.
Yeah, because all working class people have the luxury of quitting and look for a job?
There's no naivety there. Just malevolence.
No .They are actually reporting on Tim and Company's bullshit. I am shook. This might be the first critical article of the Epic Games Store. Good show on RPS!
Almost edited what I said after I looked back on what he was saying earlier in this thread. Glad to see the guys gone though.
... Nintendo, MS, and Sony all charge for online and have no competition on their own devices anyway. And even then they have less features.
And as we all know Apple would never charge too much for something. ;-)
Looks like this author's been opposed to EGS for awhile now:
