Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has defended the company’s "unpopular" strategy of signing PC exclusives for its digital storefront, claiming it’s "working" and is the only way to challenge Steam.
YouTube is probing its employees following the PlayStation State of Play leak that revealed all announcements ahead of the presentation.
I’m pretty sure leaks or not, by the end of the show people will still be disappointed. The only highlight for me was MH: Wilds… everything else was mid to forgettable. Hope them HaaS games you got lined up really work out for you, Sony. Everyone asking for Bloodborne Remake, Wolverine, and, uh, well other games like that could’ve made this epic. Instead we get Concord, some derivative Souls-like games, that were fine looking, and a Silent Hill 2 Remake with horrible character designs and janky combat animations… great.
The Epic Games Store has yet another free game, and it's a pretty damn good one.
The Outerhaven writes: While Steam has come out recently, stating that Steam accounts can't be transferred, we need to think about it since we all will eventually kick the bucket. But if Valve is denying transferring accounts, what can be done? Plenty, actually.
It goes to my kids because I gave them the passwords.
To Steam: Missio has a song that conveys my feelings about you stealing my purchase after I die. It's called "Middle Fingers"
I suppose if I have kids, I'd just give em my account details by retirement age. If I die young then...idk lol.
Yea, I mean just give someone the password to your account. Is that difficult to do or something? Like, I’m legit asking because I don’t know.
Which is true. Even if someone makes a better Store front people will only buy games on Steam or from GOG only. Not saying Epic is a better storefront but if they ever did it could not compete with out exclusives.
Yeah that's true
GOG: no DRM games
Steamfanboys: that's cute but I want my games on one launcher. TRANSLATION: I'll never buy games on other launchers ever even if it is free.
It's still not an excuse to have a barebones store with a terrible layout though
But that's not what you're doing. No one has any issue with you creating your own launcher and releasing your own games exclusively on that client like most other large studios do. People take issue to you trying to buy up the market so that for a period of time we can only play it through that one client. It's not real competition because no one actually wants to use your client over steam when they're given a choice. Introduce features that Steam has and make us want to buy the games on your service.
Lets also just acknowledge that it's looking as though this exclusivity deal is designed to specifically exclude Steam because Metro: Exodus is available on the Windows 10 store and XGP on PC.
If that is the case, why would you come out and say you'd stop if Valve let developers get a better cut? He's half right here but that doesn't excuse their conduct so far this year.
