Because we realized it was so bad that any game that decides to take a deal with epic was just not worth buying at all.
honestly epic's kinda lost all relevance at the moment
im sure there will be more dealings that piss people off in future but for now they arent worth thinking about
We realized Valve isnt great and Epic isnt so bad
They stopped getting high profile exclusives. No exclusives they've announced this year has been on the same level as Metro Exodus or Borderlands 3.
Tim won us over with TONS of free games and a superior, bloat-free service.
Basically this.
They're clearly running out of money.
Basically, instead of buying timed exclusive deals, they're doing it the proper way by actually producing games.
>running out of money
>just announced funding of multiple high-profile games from scratch
they probably have enough money to run the entire company and the store for an entire decade with their cash reserves
Store didn't make enough to pay the shills besides one shill here and there (like now).
Without shills to create fake interest nobody's gonna bother to talk about it.
reminder they still havent added a shopping cart
It'll come back once Saints Row 5 is announced.
Half-Life Alyx came out.
>no cart
>can't even get wishlists right
hard to bitch about a store that doesn't let you buy anything or keep track of games you want.
You're right. They definitely have that money. The question is whether this is a good business decision or not since I highly doubt that Sweeney made alot of profit from all that so far. We'll see what the future holds but I don't see EGS taking off.
not even the shills can pretend it's good anymore
They will never run out of fortnite kiddy money. What are you talking about?
Stopped caring enough to add the free games and forgot about it. I don't play fortnight or most pc games on release so I never needed to use it.
Because we accepted our Tencent overlords.
this
wow !
Epic stops paying the shills
Every exclusive game they get fails hard so nobody sees it as a threat anymore.
It's so bad that people forgot it existed
Because they are completely dead and irrelevant now. They failed. They have no users and haven't sold any copies of their shit exclusives. Fortnite is dead and forgotten. They have no money left to buy exclusives and the chink shills that spam here all thankfully died of corona. We won.
We realized Valve is worse
It wasn't shills spamming those threads though, it was just people looking for easy bait. The amount of people who seethe enough to make shit comics like this over a videogame store was insane
>They have no money left to buy exclusives
>announced they are publishing the next games of 3 acclaimed stidios
Ok retard
yeah, they are the false-flagging snoyggers.
Someone squash this insect, it looks like coronachan missed one.
Based Valve.
>thinks corona is real too
Holy shit can valve drones get any more stupid?
Don't want to defend valve even though I can't be bothered getting the epic launcher
Because if there's one thing that's true is that gamers have no backbone and Publishers can force feed shit and eventually they'll just roll over and accept. There's no will to deny themselves something they may want now to make a stand over something.
Also I can't even be bothered to get the xbox gamepass for PC thing even though Microsoft is still massively subsidizing it, much less epic which is trying to make a profit.
>Why did all the bitching about this disappear?
The main argument was that no one is going to buy timed on exclusives on Epic.
Most of the timed exclusive deals were fairly successful.
Steamfag boycotts fail every time.
Imagine justifying shoveling millions towards trash like Shenmue 3 for your pet project, then telling investors that the idea is that we need to keep doing this for a decade to beat Steam, and even if we "beat" Steam we won't make half of what they do because we're taking a smaller cut for no reason and the actual consumers don't give a shit about muh 30 percent.
Tim is the majority stake holders so he can do what he wants but only to an extent. With Fortnite sales continuing to go down you can only make so many bad decisions before legal action starts getting whispered if the store doesn't become solvent.
>Valve makes a retard pit for chinks and leaves regular Steam clean
I don't pay attention to this shit but why where people mad exactly? Steam takes a 30% cut of all sales, you'd think gamers would realize competition is healthy for the PC as a platform
They weren't successful. Epic buying their own product doesn't count as success and their obfuscation of actual numbers is very telling.
has it even done anything relevant recently? people were upset over it because it was buying out games but I can't think of any game it's bought out recently
a lot of coping in this thread
there's a bigger enemy now
>leaves regular Steam clean
>store front filled with garbage
Aw yes how clean
because Yas Forums is notoriously valve biased, you thought smash fags were annoying? Valve is the fucking key in uniting reddit and Yas Forums since they both love them so much, so naturally Yas Forums is anti other storefronts
Timmy couldn’t handle the heat of money-hatting games and started funding them instead. Hopefully, he learned his lesson and Valve starts hauling ass to avoid a Tim ambush.
They poured a fuckton of money into exclusivity deals, and the return must have been shit so they cut it down
>I don't pay attention to this shit but why where people mad exactly?
Steamfags are some of the biggest brand loyalists in tech and they'd rather devs get less money than install another launcher. Also their latest boycott failed as usual.
>post yfw Anno 1800 is STILL not cracked AND an EGS exclusive
>They weren't successful
>steamfags say the exclusives will not sell
>Publishers say they sold
>steamfags: you are lying
>Publishers are always honest and never hype up mediocre numbers
The absolute state of (You)
Everyone forgot it existed, along with all the exclusives it has.
Because they haven't fucked people over recently, so people are beginning to forget about it.
Fortnite isn't a hot topic anymore, so when that happened Epic vanished too.
>reminder they still havent added a shopping cart
The shopping cart is a meme tho. Epic store needs basic as fuck stuff like a download speed limiter and Achievements.
>EVERYONE IN THE WORLD IS LYING EXCEPT ME!!! ITS A CONSPIRACY!!!
>implying
Please check how far it goes back.

do you live under a rock? there's an hourly hate thread dedicated to epic
Fuck you, little shit. Riot is the future of gaming entertainment. The gaming industry will be EATEN by Riot and Blizzard and Tencent. They are the future. They will soon make ALL the VIDYA.
I genuinely hope that Xi Jinping himself personally finds where you live, goes to your absolutely pathetic excuse for a home and rapes you in the ass with his BYC until you accept Chinese superiority like the little bitch boy you are.
>>store front filled with garbage
You mean games?
>The absolute state of (You)
No, a public company will lie to its shareholders to spite a little shit on the internet who loves sucking gabe's dick. kid face reality, you bs protest failed.
They haven’t really stolen anything off steam in a while
Lack of utilities mostly. EGS is just Steam 0.5, what we should be supporting is GOG
why do we love valve again
>Click buy game
>Buy game
>Play game
Only idiots buy games in bulk
Yeah there's never been autistic people spamming bait threads here before. They're not even subtle bait
>Epic stops paying the shills
but steamfags get destroyed on every thread. not because of paid shill but because everyone realized they are an endless source of cope and tears.
they literally released sales numbers the highest selling was Borderlands 3 at 2 million
I legit forgot about it. Up there with Origin, and uh, those others (I don't remember them)
>>store front filled with garbage
Paid exclusives isn’t competition and EGS’ store front is incredibly lackluster compared to Steam, Origin and GoG. It also didn’t help that they marked themselves as incredibly desperate for said paid exclusives and strong-arm tactics by buying off fully-funded Kickstarter games.
Also, you talk about Steam’s 30% cut and yet you forget that Discord had their own store had an even lower cut than EGS ir how itch.io doesn’t even have a pay cut.
fpbp
If you want to take an autistic deep dive, you can actually find every single one of that guy's post since he re-uses the same format over and over.
>people are still steamfags after the disaster of half life alyx
i guess for some people their idol can do no wrong
Because they maintain the most widely used digital storefront for PC gaming without trying to make a quick buck off the user.
>I prefer one DRM client over another DRM client
jesus did you copy/paste this comment from reddit? at least try to use your own words when talking about how shitty they are
Are you the TORtanic user that insists Alyx was a flop?
>why do we love valve again
>gabe invented lootboxes
>hired economists and fired devs
>used a fan loved franchise as a tech demo
>censors dota gamers to appease its Chinese overlords
>made artifact and failed
>is making artifact 2
The assmad will come back once Alan Wake 2 becomes an epic exclusive.
>steamfags get destroyed on every thread.
Or they realize it is an obvious bait, so they won't bother them.
>heehee disregard those 5000 early access unity games with 1 barely functioning level and even the malware games they let on the store, just look at the front
>transgenderlands 3(no one remembers it anymore)
>gone home(no one remembers it anymore)
