Comment on Introducing the Epic First Run program
Carighan@lemmy.world 10 months agoMore importantly, as a consumer you really ought to not be bothered whether CEO #1 gets 100% of the money or has to split 30% with CEO #2. Either way, some rich old farts are getting richer and fartier.
Yeah, sure, indie games and all. That’s nice. But it’s all the company side, and as a consumer we ought to look at consumer values, in which Steam is just strictly superior. It has features that are actually useful, a far far far far larger library, and most of us have a significant portion of our library there already.
Plus, hey: It doesn’t log you out every 2-3 days for not reason. 😑

It's all just Epic talking points. "Lower cut means more money for developers! Lower cut means lower prices!" It's never been proven to be true. Shit in some cases I'd much rather my money go to Valve than the developers anyway. Much rather fund Linux/Vulkan/VR development than whatever bullshit Rockstar, EA or Activision are up to.

A lot of these people who love defending Epic also treat them as if they didn’t do anything to earn their reputation for being shitty back then.

And they pretend Epic is the only competition to Steam. Nobody is taking shit about GOG because GOG doesn’t have shitty business practices.

GoG did start adding shitty ads when you claim games from Amazon, maybe on purchase too I haven’t bought anything in a while.
