Gabe Newell says 'everybody benefits' from competition with Epic

The Valve boss said 'it's ugly in the short term,' but in the long run competition is good for everyone.

RazzerRedux1544d ago

Gabe is slowly morphing into Santa Claus. Photoshop in a red hat and suit.....voila!

SegaSaturn6691543d ago

I was gonna say he's turning into Jesus Christ, but youre probably more accurate. Jesus has a little more self control when he enters a burger king.

Gave probably has a BK inside his mansion.

MrVux0001543d ago

He is yet to reveal his final form!

Bearded Lady at the carnival.

Fluttershy771543d ago

He would need a haircut... I mean, I don't like my Santa's with long hair (maybe trim the beard a little)

RazzerRedux1543d ago

Well, as MrVux000 said.....he isn't done yet.

lol

Competition is good but I just can't support Epic. Spending all that money on exclusives while neglecting and/or pushing back their own updates to bring their client up to par with Steam. Then going around acting all holier than thou attitude about their developer cut percentage.

SoulClaw1543d ago

I really can´t understand why you cry that much for real, I made an account and I am pretty aware that I don´t have an "premium" account or anything, because there is none, and I get free games on a weekly basis.....and there are very good games there,too....for free...no membership nothing.... And you are still crying about what?

Pathetic man, I am sure after you made the Epic Account and some weeks in, some free games more....and you will shut the fuck up and realize how stupid you´ve been

xTonyMontana1543d ago

So what you're basically saying is you don't understand issues because you're all dazzled by free games? Don't lump me with a weak minded fool like you thanks, you're like a dog, can do what they like but toss you a treat (free games) and you're happy as can be. It's called having principles, I wouldn't expect you to understand that.

These are the type of people that work at GameStop

I think it's good that they are talking about developer cuts, because that's good for developers, and if it forces other strore fronts to change their cuts, then that's a good thing. These store fronts are taking a rather large percentage for what amounts to a credit card processing and storefront, and in no way do they put in enough work to say that the money they make off these games is anywhere justified. Even retail stores don't get as high a cut as steam, and steam has a much lower cost to operate compared to retail.

As far as the rest, I don't know the issues that Epic is delaying their updates. If they delayed it, it's probably because they felt it wasn't ready for some reason. Or maybe some other reason. Not sure why it matters when EGS still amounts to a store front. Your assertion is that Steam is the store front that EGS has to aspire to be like, when EGS is just EGS. It may or may not get features that Steam has, but I fail to see why that matters for you as a game player.

I get that you'd be upset they're paying for exclusive content, but most of those games are actually decided to be exclusive by the devs or pubs without payment intervention.

I've stopped caring. I have said many times now that having GOG Galaxy 2.0 has pretty much solved all of my problems with having multiple launchers. Yes, it's still annoying having multiple accounts with multiple passwords, but it's a very small annoyance at this point.

I still haven't bought anything from Epic's store, mainly because there just isn't any incentive to buy anything from the store, but I honestly no longer care about timed exclusives.

I've just synced all of my games to GOG now and run them all from there.

Flippin heck he needs to lay off the burgers 🍔

A fat joke a day keeps Half-Life 3 away.

Cmoney0071543d ago

EGS - Get some free quality games on there and never spend money.

Steam - It is still worth spending money on there because people can find good deals in the store, and the valve continues to upgrade it.

Konami didn't recover after ditching Kojima, but this Metal Gear revival is its best shot

With Kojima gone, a lot is riding on Konami's revival of Metal Gear.

Not really, Konami is basically in name only and like so many other Japanese studios that have come and gone they are just going to be an IP troll and milk that cow until it is dry. Also one of the advertised features is playing the game from a different camera view while everything else remains the same will just result in making the game easier like what happened with Twin Snakes.

Cacabunga15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

If this turns out good and gamers support it we will get the other ones.. i really hope we get MGS original in zanzibar, Peace Walker and Portable Ops remakes after this one.. they are related with naked snake

Portable Ops was sooooooo good and underrated

gold_drake12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Konami might not be super active in the videogame business anymore, or less, but they still make a ton of money with their collections and pachinko machines.

and their castlevania series on netflix is really successful also.

@jinsing

Your dislikes shows this sites situation

Konami has been doing all of that for years now like there contra games or mgs ports

mgs survive anyone

isarai19h ago

When are people going to learn that all Konami is doing with these games Is licensing them out? They are not trying to revive their game development Branch and they are not the ones developing this. It is studios that came to them and asked to use the license to make a game and they have been doing this pretty much since MGSV

jeromeface16h ago

Remaking all his work reaks of desperation. The only reason they are getting away with it is everyones deep love for the series. If delta is successful (which as of right now it should be), they'll be sure to remake all of them.

Redgrave14h ago

Big shoes to fill, and compared to SH2 - this is as much a 1:1 remake as you can get. You can still see the PS2 bones in the movements and how the cutscenes have the same angles. If anything, I'd have preferred the reverse.... with SH2 being closer to a 1:1 remake but prettier, and have MGS3 have a little more freedom.

Ideally, MGS3 with a MGSV skin in terms of gameplay and freedom of approach. This is more like a high budget remaster than a remake. Having recently replayed the Bluepoint remaster, this is going to be like that same experience but even prettier.

But, as with both MGS3 and SH2, nearly impossible shoes to fill if not outright so. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Such is the legacy of these GOAT titles.

Inverno13h ago

It's a one to one remake, using the same voice recordings too. Not a reimagining, no new content thus far announced, just a straight remake of a game that already exists, but now with prettier graphics. There's no revival, they proved they can't make anything related to MG after Survival. They'll just remake all the games and people will eat it up.
