So Steam is going to be "second hand" gaming shop?

[Legata Flavia]

Aka, almost everything is going to be 1yr epic exclusive, or Steam is doing something to prevent that?

Ok, so wanna back that up?

Go read what I said to him, pay attention to the last line as well.

So you're gonna avoid it now, alright if that how you want to act. I'm not interested in your games.

No assumptions needed, its been well known for over a year and a half now - https://www.pcgamer.com/ubisoft-has-extended-its-partnership-with-the-epic-store/

Etc.

No where in those articles state Epic has been paying for exclusivity.

So yes, it's still an assumption.

Never once said they did, your comment stated revenue shares, nothing about exclusivity. I mean sometimes I wonder if you can't even track what your saying with you going back and forth so many times.....

So you can't understand my point this entire time based on the last line in my post to him? Ok

Like I said not interested in your games.

To show that if anything Valve is more controlled by China than Epic is.

No games, rather you are busy putting words in my mouth I didn't say, and then not comprehending correctly my point.

It's all related to this lime I stated to the guy I first replied to

I didn't put words into your mouth, and I literally just quoted what you just said... And you're now trying to avoid backing up what you said which I asked. I'm not into your games if you want to carry on.

FYI this is a public forum not a private chat, anyone can reply to you at any point on this public forum.

Eisberg eredeti hozzászólása:

See how easy it is to come up with these "conspiracy theory" type things using known facts and then making up theories in between?

Even that quoted line up there in your post is all a part of my point I quoted in my post right now.

So you made a quote, and trying to avoid what I asked. There nothing to change, or to redirect anything.

I didn't make that claim, rather I used a little piece of fact and then created a "conspiracy theory" type thing around it, to show how easy it is to do something like that, which is what that guy did that I responded to.

If I was trying to make that claim them I would not have ended with

See how easy it is to come up with these "conspiracy theory" type things using known facts and then making up theories in between?

But I did, showing I was making an example of how easy it is to come to those types of theories.

And you did put words in my mouth for example, like asking me to back up a claim about Steam needing China to survive, which I said nothing about that.

Ok, well thanks for clearing that up, but the last part I already said why, "as if you suggest" that was why I assume you were pointing to something that needed to be back up.

I suggest fixing your list.
Any Ubisoft game should not be listed as they are released on Uplay as well. I see several of them listed there.

As for those that are exclusives, only one or two matter to me and I will wait for them on Steam.

... And... Unreal Tournament really shouldn't be on there as it is not even a finished product, nor will it even be finished.

Valve still get plenty of AAA games on it. They may not be ones you are interested in, but Vale still gets them.

There is room in the market for multiple stores as well as enough AAA games to go around, especially as a limited time exclusive.

Steam it's self also offers many features that Epic Store does not. Again, if you are interested in them or not is plays a part in you you feel.

With over 24 million users logging on at peak a day, Valve isn't really hurting for customers and their sales still appear to be growing.

I always love when those who start Epic threads miss one vital piece of information.

Metro Exodus and The Outer Worlds were full price on Epic when they released.

When they released on Steam they were half price.

Lol! Yep, something else that gets little notice.

And those are single player games too, so not like it hurts to wait for a better deal either.

[Fear dot Com]

More like a handful of games. Yeah, Epic managed to nab some big titles over the years but it's hardly starved Steam of games either. Besides, when the Steam release usually results in a massive discount, I'd say it's kind of worth it.

Even with multiplayer games a wait generally allows you to see if the game has any actual staying potential. I mean I don't tthink Anthem even lasted a year. And that Amaon one.. what was it?

What's "almost everything"? We haven't had new EGS-timed-exclusives for a while now.

I have not been paying attention lately but I did notice how Epic exclusives have gone off the headlines and was wondering about.

Gallifrey - CSSC Gaming Founder eredeti hozzászólása:

Epic's strategy would only really make sense if it was attacking a weak competitor. By depriving it of its main sources of income they could kill or cripple it.

IMO all I've seen from Epic is pretty much a scorched earth tactic. Not just against Steam but against gaming at large.
I mean Epic has managed to break in like a bull in a China store picking fights and starting fires. Got Steam users angry, then kickstarter users and now they're in a gigantic lawsuit with Google and Apple...

It doesnt matter if the devs and publishers go epic exclusive. I dont buy at that storefront so they miss out on sales. Not that they care who am i in a sea of al this. And if the games comes out on steam after a year. If im still interested and havent forgotten about it ill buy it. I have more than enough games in my library to keep me entertained. Just stop caring about the FOMO (fear of missing out) factor. Life is more than getting worked up about this.
