Slime rancher is going out for free on SOMEONE'S store.
Monomi. *Inhales* BOI

Dabs are dead. Fortnite's got eaten alive by apex in a mere week. And you're going to Epic? I feel kinda betrayed here, Bought the game on steam way back when Markiplier has played it. And as much as I understand SR is a singleplayer sandbox game, it is worth the cash etc....

Their whole platform is a quickly pulled out of the oven soft that is kinda spyware-ish.

In addition to that, they offer smaller taxes for things, I know it is great, but coming to think of it:

Steam gives you EVERYTHING needed for the game. Forums, achievements etc.

I'm just a consumer, not a developer working on Valve's platform, yet it seems justified why do you have to give so much for it!

The Epic Games store is like a tumor, it keeps growing and its annoying as hell till you die from it. I personally downloaded it just to get Subnautica for free which was probably a mistake. I personally also hate Fortnite, and the fact that Metro Exodus is being sold on that store, instead of Steam's superior store. The Epic Store is supposed to compete with Steam, but at the moment the Steam store and app is just far, far superior in many ways. Funny that I'm replying to a discussion on Slime Rancher when I haven't even played 2 hours of that game.

AMEN to THAT! Same here, I didn't touch it for so long, I've opened it to see the new DLC thingamajig.

E-Store's accused of being a spyware, has no functionality better than steam, and the onyl plusses of it are weekly free games. which are a common BULLCRAP as no-one gets paid in the process and in addition, thye tend to keep it. Utter crap if you ask me, My library is about 139 games, maybe 20 of them were freebies on steam. Rest? bought with my cash, all well spent even if the game (I'm talkin GRAV here) died.

What monomi is doing is they're stretching out for more playerbase because Epic WILL kidnap all the twelve year olds to at least TRY SR.
Nowadays companies can spy on you without any punishment, that's China in a nutshell like other communist states and countries that still exist like North Korea and Vietnam. So do other places in the world, even the USA spies on you, because we are too paranoid about terrorism. Epic Games can get kids to play their games, because kids like free games, and games that look "fun" to them. I'm smarter than that and yet I downloaded the Epic Games store, because I like free games too. Most of my games I've bought with my own money, and I do have a friend in Guatemala who convinces me to pirate games, but I don't because I don't want my PC to become fried with viruses and malware. Just stay clear out of Epic's way and hide in the shelter you call Steam and it shall protect you from the cancerous children and malware that will devour the world through the internet.

Don't.

Trust me the game IS worth the money. Problem i'm writing about here is that Monomi has fallen into something that may be fatal.

Epic store is already accused of being a spyware. They collect a METRIC TON of data from your PC. Everything they can get, they pull out. As much as some people concern, it is okay, well.. I'll remind what Zuckerberg (Facebook reptilian CEO whatchamacallit) did to the data FROM FACEBOOK- HE SOLD IT TO ANOTHER COMPANY.

Steam does not interfere more than it should in your private information.
  • Name
  • zip code, credit card info (store, duh)
  • email
  • PC specs (If you agree for it)

What epic takes is all it want, their TOS says that they colect all info necessary for future too.

Money well spent. You'd rather pay here, or get it witha free flossin' DLC? Don't get me wrong, if anybody plays fortnite, it's their's family problem (xD) and not mine. But the fact Epic will get more clients to suck data out of?

I'm all about privacy here, I'm no deep-web dwelling guy. But still I enjoy my personal information being secure. what epic does is simply writing down your whole frickin' PC "just in case"

Steam was the king of PC platform since the beginning coming to think of it. They've given you everything. Hell they're sadly closing down the movie thingie down which I thought was cool!


Steam gives you forums, news tab, announcements, groups, friends, chat, Console-like menu, THEIR OWN HARDWARE.

FOR MERE NOTHING COMPARED TO THE DATA SUCKED OUT BY THEM.

Not really, it's your privacy for a free game and a crappy store platform.

yes i know but most people wont really care also im sure if this becomes a really big problem for epic games that people is worried for thair privacy being sent to other companies im sure epic games can just bloody change thair tos to make it so they cant send it to other companies. after all they have the final say in the matter... but back to what i was saying the free sr is a good thing for people who dosent know if they want to get the game but wants to try it and dident wanna spend the money.. now that its free there they can actually get the game and play it without spending thair money its a win win for them and as much as i hate the privacy issue they have i dont mind getting the games for free

im sorry but this doesnt make sense whatsoever. there is already a free demo on steam which you can play and see whether you like it or not and then buy it...or not. if thats not enough you still got the 2h refund policy with the full game. thats more than enough to decide whether they want to spend money on the game or not.
Danteus Maverick Feb 23, 2019 @ 4:08am 
You're right too. That's a valid point imo.
BlueHawk081 Feb 23, 2019 @ 4:52pm 
are they ever going to add a co-op to this game, if they did they would get so much more money
