People that is trying to defend Epic Games.

[Kurochi]

I don't know why some people are still blatantly trying to defend Epic Game Store here since they started the business trying to Monopolize PC games and trying to start a War.

They could have ditch the scummy business practice of 1 Year Exclusive and actually build up the EPIC Game Store to give players a reason to buy a game on their platform and actually compete with steam. The 12% Cut is already a pretty good deal instead of the 30% cut steam take from my point of view, free games Cool I use it alot since its free Sht.

But guess what I still buy my games on steam cause sht all my sht is here, and the fact that we're even having this discussions on steam and not on Epic cause where do you even do that on Epic? a Web forum?

1. Ultimately it's the devs that choose to take the money or not.
2. You also want discussions about boycotting and clownfarming on Epic Store?
3. Shut up.

Yeah pretty much all the defense Epic game Store can do is tell people to "shut up" Yeah real original.

If you can only read two words then don't start your "discussions".

Isn't Epic the one that tries to break a monopoly? Do you think Steam looked like this from the beginning? Where do you discuss the free games from Epic? Do you realize that Epic's money might have helped to make this a better game?

1. I'm pretty sure the guys working on it will not even see a dime of that deal with epic since its pretty much the Publishers & a couple of higher ups dev thats getting the bonus.

2. Where in the right mind was I discussing about boycotting Epic when all I said why people keep defending a scummy business practice.

3. Pretty much Your whole attitude on the situation.

I obviously meant the "devs" as in people responsible for the deal not some janitor in the office building. Sloclap is the dev and the publisher. You don't even know what indie is but start "discussions". Go back to your hole.

But is it breaking a Monopoly when your business practice of trying to become a better online game store is to just buy out a 1 year exclusivity just so they can one up the competition?
Some Publishers might gift bonuses to the dev but those bonuses is usually for game sales and not deals between companies make so usually those money goes to the Higher ups and the publishers.

I don't even know how you got a janitor mix into this and pretty sure you can find out that Sloclap is not the only publishers for this game and you can pretty much see if those deals will be given to the devs that actually work on the game, but sure you do you I guess since arguing with you is only going to derail the discussion about why you should not be defending a multi billion dollar company using a scummy business practice to compete.

Epic pays people, shills, to promote their store. Some are YouTubers, some can be found on Twitch and many can be found on forums such as these. On top of that there are also people who can't afford games and so defend EGS to keep the freebies coming.

Best thing you can do is wait until the game is at least 50% off before purchase, otherwise you just encourage the anti-consumer practice that this developer followed.

People make games to make money, not to fill your steam library because otherwise you'll cry about "business practices". If someone offers you money even before the release and then you get more money from every sale you obviously take the deal even if there will be crybabies later when 1 year exclusivity deal ends. BUT MOMMY MUH LIBRARY IS ON THE OTHER MONOPOLISTIC STOOOORE

Dont be surprised OP, if game launchers tomorrow introduced a mandatory colonoscopy on every login, there would still be plenty of gamers defending it.

[Melodia]

People can still dislike Epic's practices (I don't even grab free games from them) and not have a problem with buying the game here. The fact some people can't understand this middle ground is....well I'd say it's par for the course for Steam forums.

Fighting monopoly by bringing console wars to PC, great.

So you didn't compare colonoscopy with an additional icon implying that gamers will defend them equally? What did you do then clown?

Illustrating the point that gamers arent known for making a stand against something that is contrary to their interest by using an obviously unrealistic and exaggerated scenario, you dimwitted buffoon.
