Not gonna read any of that. Here's the reply you crave.
Connor Powell
>never mentions Yas Forums
Nuclear Throne is goat tho
Zachary Butler
rami isn't even a developer. he's just a hype-man
Matthew Brown
Everybody knows Epic pays developers a lot of money, but the real question is how does it benefit the people buying the games?
Jackson Cooper
Yas Forums thinks Epic is the devil though
Angel Cooper
>y’all
Stopped reading there.
Daniel Gray
Here's the thing:
Your reputation, if you take this deal, will be shot to fuck as an indie. Only big game devs like Gearbox or Rockstar can survive that kind of shit.
Your game won't fucking sell on the EGS. Nobody is interested in generic indie game #32523 on Steam, they won't be on EGS.
These two combined means you'll be reliant on Epic's cash, and eventually they'll run out. Deals like RDR2 and Borderlands 3 exclusivity are expensive as fuck and the Fortnite money train can't keep riding forever.
Nathan Robinson
only transgender individuals hate epic store
Aaron Peterson
So you only actually get 50% once you make it past the bribe money. That's actually worse than Steam right? So basically, the only reason to take the EPIC deal is that you have no confidence that your game will actually sell.
Michael Morris
That's surprising but makes the most sense
Noah Ross
Nuclear Throne runs at 30fps
It's a fucking PC game that runs at 30fps
Isaac Cooper
Doom (MS-DOS) runs at 35FPS
Caleb Williams
It's cute that you think anyone on Yas Forums is knowledgeable enough to even understand this.
Steam isn't publishing other people's games, retard.
Sebastian Reed
Why should I care how developers get their funding? If you make a game and short me out of convenience and security by making your shit EGS exclusive, I'm going to pirate it
Jackson Allen
Why does this faggot rant so much
Evan Rogers
>That's actually worse than Steam right?
Your game is fully funded by Epic you fucking retard
Do Steamies even know how to read?
Aaron Taylor
I can't do another Rami Ismail rant. I've had enough of them for a lifetime. Following that guy must be absolutely exhausting.
Jackson White
what the fuck is a nuclear throne?
Landon Mitchell
Actual cope.
Caleb Cox
TLDR, faggot
Nathaniel Murphy
>Your game is fully funded by Epic you fucking retard
Funny how all the games that Epic moneyhattted had already finished development.
Thomas Anderson
It doesnt benefit but it soesnt detract from it. You just click on one shitty games launch instead of the shitty games launcher
Henry Evans
>he thinks PCfags can bother to care about a digital store when they have free choice including the high seas if they don't like something
Let me guess, you are a mentally retarded console kiddie who is projecting his one-store mentality onto a platform he doesn't understand at all?
Levi Gray
Keep digging that hole you fucking ignoramus.
Lincoln Lopez
>but the real question is how does it benefit the people buying the games
In a roundabout way, ensuring that some promising, possibly good games survive in the current development environment, thus ensuring that the creator/studio goes on to make more games that the users would want?
You want games you like to do well so you get more of them. Getting bankrolled by a company competing is one way of doing that.
Henry Cruz
Pretty good game made by Vlambeer, a supposed dev team consisting of a Dutch guy called Jan-Willem and a woman named Rami.
Rami doesn't actually seem to work on any of Vlambeer's games, he's just the guy that yells online a lot and sometimes markets them. Jan-Willem seems to be the actual brains behind "their" games.
Andrew Garcia
I am so happy for shitty developers that are going to be pushed down hill as soon as Epic thinks they are not worth the time anymore. Fortnite is going to be replace eventually and Epic is going to start lose money.
Parker Allen
Too bad all the games Epic "bankrolls" have been utter crap.
Carson Sullivan
They didn't bankroll any of those games, they paid for exclusive distribution rights.
Mason Flores
They mean one and the same since Epic only buys games that are already finished.
Nicholas Myers
The fact that the games get made at all.
Michael Cooper
why does ismail suck swineys dick so much even though he's incapable of making any good games?
Joseph Miller
No, in fact them doing the opposite of that is the subject of the OP.
Daniel Allen
Devs should really learn to create bitcoin addresses and donation addresses on a dev-only site which goes straight to them, or at least a Patreon.
You can't stop us from pirating shit, you can however get at least some money from people who are willing to pay to a dev only without that money being redirected into the hands of Publisher/Distributor cancer. This is a simple choice between whether you want money or not, because your pride is only a worthless point of stupidity as a dev.
Luke Sullivan
>doom (1993)

fuck off rami, you dumb pedophile
Josiah Bell
Have mutts always talked in this snarky, snide manner to one another? Is channel awesome to blame? After all breadtube is its ofshoot.
Asher Ward
>wow they get an 80% cut on epic, this is what the devs deserve!!! very EPIC amirite?
>Of course the only get 50% it makes sense since Epic pays for everything, it is still better than steam
pick one epicmonkeys because now that this 50% line is out you cant make up your mind
Logan Martin
>Nuclear Throne is goat tho
>fast paced action game
>30fps
NAH
Bentley Martinez
>Is channel awesome
lol what?
Jayden Nelson
>I don't make indie games for the love of it, I make them for money
Luke Davis
Like dude, then go to EPIC for your next games if you hate Steam that much.
He's pretty the only source of all those anti steam articles since beginning.
Nolan Cook
>reddit.com
What did the chink shill mean by this?
Ian Carter
Okay Rami
Keep being a dishonest faggot that understands business, but go do it at RetardEra with your gay friends
Ian Rogers
Man you're a fucking idiot (then again you're a Steam fanboy so that makes sense)
Here's what Obsidian gets from Bethesda in royalties for every copy of New Vegas sold:
>0%
Brody Flores
Reminder rami still hasn't updates Luftrausers on gog
Luis Allen
OP refers to Epic deals funding FUTURE games.
Epic pays for distribution of a completed game, and then the devs use that free money to fund future projects.
Jose Lee
isnt this the guy that cried to the internet when somebody launched a superior fishing game to his BEFORE his shitty fishing game was out and called the game that came FIRST a rip off?
Jonathan Moore
Most Yas Forumsggers are retarded. Not me, I'm based. I think EGS is ok. It's a free market after all.
Gabriel Miller
Epic is paying the dev's salaries and all costs to make the game.
Also this is profit sharing, not a distributor cut
Daniel Ross
>guy who says "People dont [sic] hate epic because it is an extra launcher. They hate it because it is a shitty extra launcher, with a 20th of the features on steam. It's buggy, and its whole purpose is to get rid of steam by starving it of games" gets 5 downboats
>guy who replies to this with "'Boohoo i dont want a second launcher, boohoo, i am such a failure in life boohoo epic BAD" -[you]" gets 2 upboats
Expected nothing else from Reddit
Camden Gray
And he won't because it's GoG's fault to have some sort of quality control.
Wyatt Reed
Epic is attractive for developers and Vlamqueer can fuck off.
Ryan Nguyen
It gets devs to move away from the cancerous crowdfunding way of developing games
Owen Ward
The only problem with Epic is that nothing lasts forever and the general consumer is obviously not committing to Epic's game launcher. There's no real point to pretend like its not true, we all know Epic won't last in this market. So anyways if you keep signing Epic's deals it will run dry eventually, and then you end up with a bunch of angry faggots who you know "were wrong" that hate your company and will shitpost PR endlessly for each release. Not that that really matters to most, it probably would be more cost effective for a small company to make deals with Epic, but countless large companies are not banding with Epic since it wouldn't be worth it for them.
I think the question here is if the devs that could make more money by signing into Epic have that sort of artist's itch to want to be loved. You know, its a question as to whether or not they consider flattery from fans to be the fruit of their work.
Jose Richardson
>devs fell into the short term profit meme by epic
>all those games sold like shit because epic never bothered to market them
kek
Jace Baker
unironically this
either an sjw or a flyover and in either case has no valid opinion
Carter Williams
Funny how it's always the devs that shill for epic who have trouble updating their gog releases
Nicholas Lopez
I wonder if Ueda has it in him to make another ICO/SOTC tier game. There is probably some shit in there about taking 5 years or more.
Elijah Jones
qBittorrent and GoG are all I need.
Don't give a fuck.
Anthony Peterson
And give your email and credit info to some shady corporation on a store that's gonna go under as soon as Fortnut money dries out, and allow them to scan your PC for free, and give money to devs who have already received money for your copy of the game from Epic.
Cooper Howard
>I wonder if Ueda has it in him to make another ICO/SOTC tier game.
I mean, even Snoy dropped him after his fuckup with Last Guardian.
Don't except any good games from him.
Brody Myers
Epic can't afford to wait 5 years for a game that would pull people to their shitty launcher
Juan Thompson
Rami is the Muslim Phillipe Poission, with straight California injected in his brain. He's single-handedly one of the most exhausting people to listen to, and taking his word on anything is a mistake.
Just do and act the opposite of him, and you will live a fulfilled life.
John Bailey
as an extremely based man once said, this simply means there is no longer a reason that pirating these games is bad.
the game devs have already been paid.
William Harris
Hello, based department?
Isaac Murphy
Gets it.
Your career as an indie dev is pretty much over if you take one of these deals.
If you make another game are you also going to put in egs for the free money?
I mean, I guess you'd have to since nobody's going to buy it from steam either from a tencent sellout.
Will egs still be offering that service by then?
Cause they're not, and can't, keep that gravy train running forever.
It's upfront money now, but taking it will close every other door of opportunity you could have taken in the future, the definition of a shortsighted decision.
Benjamin Lewis
I mean yes it's a good deal but this is the same kinda tactic that literal drug dealers use
The point is they won't keep doing this forever
You just try to get people in the door even at a loss then when you've built up you switch to a more sustainable i.e. profit driven business model just like everybody else
Use your brain and think for one second about why Epic is trying to get in on this market to begin with
Yeah it turns out there's a lot of money in providing a storefront for stuff other people made considering that's how the richest man in the world made all his money
Robert Cooper
I can't even buy games from epic gay store, ubi gay store or ea gay store because I won't install that
Ethan Peterson
Vlambeer is a duo. Basically everything creative gets done by JW while this freeloader fuckstick does the business side of things, mainly by posting lots of incendiary and/or moronic shit on the internet allowing his part to stay relevant. Because you always take the bait.
Cooper Jones
Competition forces companies to improve their models.
Eli Thomas
Obsidian doesn't own the franchise you moron, they got contracted to make a game because bethesda got OD out of huffing glue
Cooper Sullivan
Steam and gog or bust
Colton Martinez
>and eventually they'll run out.
Why are Steam fanboys the dumbest fucks in the universe?
Evan Bell
Holy fuck way to miss the point entirely you dumb fuck Steam drone.
I knew you guys were dumb, but holy shit.
