Why hate epic game players ?

[Gökyüzü]

Since currency change(im from Turkey) im buyying my games from epic store.

And when i want to discuss something or ask some questions about the game i come to steam and open a topic about it. Then people starts to check my profile to see if i own the game or not. Then many people starts to harras me completely ignore what i am talking about and they gave me clown rewards.

I realy dont understand this. Why all this hate i didn't even done anything wrong.

Well, sorry but you are the one missing the context. Epic is five years old now, and when Steam was five years old, Steam had less games than Epic has today. Everyone here seem to be able to comprehend that but you, since no one else contested such fact.

On 2009 were much, much less games than now, let's alone in 2003, you're even counting the amout of shovelware were getting daily, lmao.

Steam wasn't even a store in 2003. Good night.

The irony of this statement... Epic has more games than Steam when the Steam store was

I don't think that's good comparision when you've take into account different "eras" in gaming. 2003-2008 was a time, when retail copies still had majority or at least significant share of gaming market.

Too many additional factors influence stats here, to be able to safely compare these 2 using such criteria.

Steam wasn't a store before that, it only provided updates to their own games.

Indeed, its poinless because its filled with additional factors and a whole different context, lets alone much less amout of games. Just a bad comparison.

2006 to 2010 are 4 years mate, Don't move the goalpost here, even if we count from 2007, the context still so different that nowadays.

It was just a bad comparison overall.

You're right, my mistake by data. Nonetheless we're speaking about different eras - retail gaming in 2010 was a thing. Sun was fading for them, but PC retail still had bigger revenue than Steam at the time.

Epic is still running a primitive Store.
The majority of Epic users are there for free games.
It's running at a loss.
It depends on exclusives.
No part of it is better than Steam or GOG stores except for regional prices.

So they attacked me between 2014 through 2018 because people can see into the future that would happen starting in 2019. Ok, so you believe people can see into the future, I understand now.

Let's get real here then, did you use to do the same thing for gog back then? Something is saying me you did.

samething? You mean using facts to dispell falsehoods being stated? I'm sure I did at some point, I also did that for Steam back in the days when Steam was greatly hated.

But nope, vast majority of the attacks were in threads asking for a GOG version and people attacking me and anyone who supported the asking calling us pirates. Or trying to discuss a game on the forums and people attacking us for not owning the game on Steam, despite saying we bought the game on GOG, telling us what we say doesn't matter because we don't own the game on Steam.

Even seen a ton of people try to attack GOG because of CD Projekt saying its a pirates haven since CD Projekt started out by selling pirated games in Poland.

Well, it's important to keep in mind that back then Valve also sold physical games... not to mention other devs/pubs sold physical games with activation on Steam (I even have some). That means part of the retail revenue went to Valve.

OK, i get it, you had a terrible experience from some a**holes before, Steam forums were nuts back to 2013, from my side i never had any problems asking for gog games before.

I don't hate people who buy on Epic when a game is cheaper there. That is just capitalism.

Epic Store as online store is very basic. There are no tools for the community , no community forums. So it is not 'better for gamers' as he likes to boast. Their exclusivity deals are never good in the long run. Buying those games, rewards that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ business practice. (Just like preordering games does).

Instead of just working on a better product to compete with Steam, he only talks ♥♥♥♥ in the media about Steam as if there is an upcoming boxing match between Tim and Gabe.
