  1. 1 if they both offer the same price then.............. 2 we dont have a guarantee but we do have common sense. the reason devs are taking the current deals is money. if thats no longer an option ie both platforms charge the same then why risk loosing sales with an exclusivity deal? in fact when you think about it devs would be more likly to sign a deal with steam given there huge user base and "fan base" 3 straw man much. thats not what this is and you know it. he has not been secretly caught trying to price fix it was a tweet. this is not price fixing its him stating a fact. the fact that you have to strawman shows how weak your argument is.
  2. this thread = they dont need to promise shit, if your a dev and you have 2 platforms that charge the same which one do you put your game on? both. at this point the amount of money needed to secure exclusivity would be too much. id love to see this math of yours
  3. wow. i mean just how stupid are most of the members here. so blinded by the rhetoric and bullshit that they just jump to the conclusion that this has to be "SJW" not one seams to realise that most people with eating disorders are not fat, i mean its hard to pile the pounds when your not eating or shoving your fingers down your throat. this is aimed at helping people who become obsessed with there body to the point it kills them, i mean actually die, and guess what, they aint obese. facebook and others need to be regulated......get over it
  4. the facts beg to differ becasue im a twat i was going to quote in a different thread then couldnt be arsed and forgot to cancel the multi quote
  5. try reading the article it was the french who did this. instead of believing all the propaganda you read on Facebook or what ever why not do some actual research. the EU is not a dictatorship, it is democratic. countries VOTE in there MEPs who vote on the business of the day and ELECT the parliament president and the commission president.
  6. you continue with these baseless accusations, its almost like your projecting. tell me do you have issues you need to talk about?
  7. without evidence your accusations are baseless and therefore i do not need to justify anything.
  8. why do people seam to think that the internet should not be policed....do you think that we should abolish actual police?
  9. kinda feel like thsi is more an attack on apple, than news.......as many people have said 5g is 12 months, at the the very least , away form being mainstream if not 2 years. honestly i really dont care about 5g, everyone banged about 4g and i have found it to be meh really.
  10. right market competition definitions no explain to me how epic are not meeting these definitions, specifically, you cant buy a big mac in burger king or a whopper in mcdonalds and yet they are in competition.
  11. WHAT! looking at the system requirements for fortnite im guessing most couldnt run much on steam any way though in all honsety i have kinda lost your p[oint and my own for that matter......
  12. jesus what is it with people not looking at there own freaking links like steam has never had any issues https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jul/27/steam-account-hijacking-bug-fixed-valve https://games.slashdot.org/story/15/12/25/2111242/steam-bug-shows-you-other-users-account-details that last one was a doosy, you clicked your profile link and went to some randoms profile.....i mean really
  13. monopoly - the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service. not a singular product. not a timed exclusive. not - wait 6 months not to mention your link talks about exclusivity between retailer or wholesaler and supplier not consumer. actually you did consent its called TOS 1) https://trello.com/b/GXLc34hk/epic-games-store-roadmap TLDR upto 6 months for some 2) sorry how long did it take steam? the news sites citied reddit as a source so.... they were reading your friends list from steam and see above 1 unless you have some source for that EGS userbase claim im calling bullshit. i realy can not see how anyone thats gaming on EGS doesnt have steam for some other game let alone a large portion. 2 division, call of duty and battlefield all have DLC timed exclusives with either xbox or sony and thats without researching
  14. your looking at it from a gamers point of view and i guess you could see it as monopolistic but from a publishers view they have choice. steam is the status quo and the only way to change that is to do something dramatic like exclusivity. people have seen the console exclusivity debacle and are now circle jerking to this epic crap without really thinking about it long term. its simply not the same as the console wars. my prediction, epic will continue to grab exclusives until steam drop there cut to 15%, at which point devs will want to launch on both platforms for maximum market penetration at that point deals will change to preorder exclusives and the like, people will still piss and moan because circle jerk but consumers will get the choice. in the mean time stop cutting your noses off to spite your faces. change will happen with or without you.
  15. they are improvign the platform, those missing features are on the way, what security issues and as if steam is so secure
  16. im sorry is steam not competing with epic? are they both not in the same market? i love how your own link proves you wrong..... we are customers not retailers or wholesalers you cant be monopolistic with a tiny market share sorry but you site security as if steam is 100% safe other than a steam fanboys reddit post is there any real evidence that epic is insecure and leaking info to the Chinese?
  17. they dont care that the fanboys are not buying there games......because everyone else is
  18. 1 i dont have any epic games, i dont think i have the launcher 2 it is competition just not the competition that you want
  19. well nice to see the typical tropes being rolled out, comparisons to nazis, 1984, "dangerous precident".........FML the video showed people, of all ages, being murdered and yet lets all panic at some sites being blocked. like it or not the internet needs to be regulated, how that happens i have no clue but you can not have safe havens for criminals and terrorists to do their business with impunity. "....but but but where does it end......" i think we all know that it ends when the people stop voting for people that allow it.
  20. my first system was a c64 though i never said i was a pc gamer. c64 > mega drive > ps1 > ps2 > xbox 360 > pc im not shilling for there deals im just not as outraged as half the snowflakes here. its really simple like or not epic brings competition to the market. you may not have a choice but devs do and that alone is already shaking up steam. once steam drop there cut, and the will, then the exclusives will stop and the real fun and games begin.
  21. what! you really are grasping at straws. it gives a clear indication on how the game is selling.....seriously are you that desperate how is it misleading? are you saying its not selling that well? what are your sources? you may want to re read the OP
  22. your point was "epic are claiming that they caused the increase in sales" there not there mearly highlighting that despite the "bad press" it still sold 1 citation please 2 are you telling me steam never fucks up?
