Steam is the worst except any other digital store. That's why.

Also, nobody liked them anyway. Epic would have much better reputation is Sweeney stopped shitposting and even deleted his twitter. But he is too arrogant for that I guess.

its so painfully slow i use it every now and again to play the free games but its a massive pain

because it sucks even more, jesus are you dumb or what user

Its strategy was to make other stores worse, via holding games hostage instead of just being a better store. Dragging others down is not a winning strategy

S E E C O D I L A T E P E T H E

Buying exclusives was an aggressive, anti-consoomer strategy that they went for instead of providing good service at a good price.

It's a much worse service.
Fortnite money halved.
No one likes Sweeney personally in the same way people liked/still like Gaben and Epic tried to use scumbag tactics on top.
A large chunk of devs that went with Epic went out of their way to be cunts about it and gave themselves and their similars a bad rep.

its literally corona spyware

fortnite alone is already bigger than steam, idk user coping will not help, epic will take over just a matter of time, survival of the fittest and well epic is just bigger than valve

streamdrones are sheep
they weren't going to change to epic no matter what
they will keep eating steam shit

i always hear people say this but i haven't actually seen any evidence to suggest it, can you link me whatever you're referring to

the source was some reddit thread which got debunked in literal same thread, steam is a much bigger malware with several source codes leaked, steamie just wants to distract from this fact

>have given away almost a hundred free games
>are still so desperate for more users that they need to keep doing it
lol

Epic managed to be an even bigger streaming pile

>have given away almost hundred free games
>its a fully success so they keep doing it
well that's how capitalism works, you keep doing successful things

same thing that went wrong with origin and uplay: it just doesn't give the userbase as much value, though it is ahead of origin and uplay in that it gives you at least some value with its free games
also tim sweeney is a massive fucking cunt, which is the real reason i'm never using EGS, even for free games

>We want developers to have a bigger cut

oh, i knew about the reddit thread but since it was debunked in the same thread like you said i always assumed there was something else
i fucking hate the Yas Forums fags here who complain about politics in videogames whenever a girl has short hair or whatever dumb shit but then force politics into a literal game launcher

>tim sweeney is a massive fucking cunt
What makes me sad is I use to look up to the guy. ZZT was my Minecraft when I was a kid in the early 90s.Always thought the open nature of it was super cool, and I read a ton of interviews from Tim and he came off like a cool guy. Fast forward 20 years and he turned in to a turbo dick. The money Epic made went stright to his head and now he champions shit he wouldn't have back in the 90s.

What animal is this and why does it sound like it lives under the sea

GOG tried playing nice, look how that turned out. The Steam audience loves eating shit and licking boot, so why not give them what they want?

this has nothing to do with epic dipshit, read more then just the headline before you post

>GOG tried playing nice, look how that turned out.
Fairly successful and carved out a portion of the market for themselves? They were never attempting to replace Steam, thats partially why they've maintained an amount of relevants.

>GOG tried playing nice, look how that turned out
with a reputation as the best online games retailer if you're looking for drm-free games, or just older games in general?

Dilate

>Amnesia
It was free along with it's sequel a long while back when the devs threw in the towel and admitted their games were bundlewhore-tier

You have to go back, fortnite loving, tim sweeney slurping underaged faggot

>, look how that turned out.
the established a nice place in a market and gain money by the day and no hate? Fuck, they should have went the Epic route that showed to be so good, right :^)

>Fortnite bad upvotes to the right
Reddit to the left subhuman

I'm still angry that these retards bragging about illegally abusing the DMCA because they personally don't like a guy playing their product had nothing happen to them. Worthless government.

GoG doesn't make a dime brainfarting steamtranny

>Fortnite goes to Google play, literally shitting on their promises of "it's our exclusive, that'll never happen!" And 'bigger cuts for devs!"
>Suddenly Steam-bashing threads and Epicshills pop out en masse
It's pretty funny, actually

As opposed to eating epic shit? Whats the difference? One is already stablished, so why bother?

>steamtranny
>defending GOG
are you ok?

>ugh bros why did epic fail?
>LOL FORTNITE
?

i won't play your shitty online game nor listen to your useless bants.
Go.
Back.

>8k profit for an entire year
>fairly successful
I love gog but don't bullshit their success, they're riding on government money for cyberpunk.

*breaths in
THOSE DON'T COUNT

>Reddit.con
kek based Tim, anyway steamforums are much worse than reddit

and yet the didn't fail like your beloved Epic store

It doesn't matter if 10 thousand people who don't have credit cards want to play a game. The one person with a credit card matters. Children don't have purchasing power. Only their parents do.

Thanks for proving my point

A pretty good and respective alternative to Steam that has been able to co-exist for years?

Epic is the future of gaming.

Epic made like 300$ million last year with their 3rd party games. Even 12% of that is much more than GoG will ever make

Only retards actually buy games from GOG.

Fortnite makes more than every game since 2017 or so keep coping subhuman

coof

On phones and consoles, yes

Because epic doesn't care about devs or customers, and sweeny has an autistic vendetta against steam

>Fairly successful
lelz. these are the people that call fortnite billion dollar revenues a flop

I never called Fortnite a flop you retard.

exclusivity deals only trick people who buy consoles

>fortniteshills blow out by steamies so they resort to attacking the one store that actually provides a unique service and at least puts on the best act that they care about consumers

>I never did that
WHO THE FUCK CARES, steamfags claim in every thread that "fortnite numbers are falling"

That doesn't make a difference if the people playing fortnite don't want to play other games.

>fortnite alone is already bigger than steam
>there are more people playing fortnite than there are people playing anything else on steam
are you really this utterly retarded?

Reminder he had a rap battle with a 15 year old that hated his store on Twitter.
