Valve bootlickers
It ain’t like that, kiddo. I support other stores like GoG, too. I just refuse to ever use EGS unless they completely change.
Comment on Guy never bought a game on the Epic Store... Owns 200+

I see the Valve bootlickers are out in force. How dare Epic fund indie games, what a bunch of bastards

Eh paid exclusives are (one of) the reasons I’ll never get a game from them. Fuck lil Tim

You realize paid exclusives gives a guaranteed income to devs so they don’t have to rely on the Steam gamble?
Would you work for your employer if you had no guarantee you would get paid and you had to wait years for your potential first paycheque?

Not only that. Epic takes a smaller cut, and when a game goes on sale or is free that comes from Epic’s cut, the Devs get full pay.
Something that the bootlickers always seem to forget.

Paid exclusives ruin PC gaming, only devs who don’t believe in their game sing an exclusive contract. They’ll learn the hard way for sure :)

Bullshit.
18k games released on Steam this year, how many did you hear about and how many were actually successful?
There’s tons of good games that just won’t sell enough for the devs to recoup their cost just because no streamer decided to play them. Go read on indie devs communities what the experience is like when releasing a game you put your heart and soul into only to get no coverage and no sales.

You’re saying studios like EA don’t pay their programmers unless people buy the game?
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
I’m talking about smaller studios but even for big studios, guaranteed income instead of gambling can be more interesting for certain projects.
The logic is still the same.
