Honestly, I completely forgot I had Epic installed on my PC

100% of $0 is still $0.

I'll spend my money on platforms that have proven to respect their customers.

At least Valve takes some of the money that they make from Steam and use it for Steam. You cant run an entire gaming platform based on developers alone, you also need to make it at least somewhat bearable for consumers.

Because they have to, because their store is based in bribing developers for artificial exclusivity in an attempt to hurt Valve for proving that Pig Swiney was a moron a decade ago when he said PC gaming was dead.

This is all a vain attempt by a man child to get back at Gabe, and it’s abso fucking lutely a hilarious delight what an abject failure it all is.

Garbage store with no customer services struggles and burns money, because that’s what’s lazy customer fucking cash grabs should do - burn. Fuck epic, fuck Swiney, and fuck you if you defend them.

Care to elaborate further on specific events or even just link some articles for a lazy bones like me?

(I only get free games from epic and then never play them)

Completely unrelated, but is your username a reference to the movie Can't Hardly Wait?

No just a play on the name amanda

Good for them, but until EGS starts being more pro- consumer, I'm not spending a cent there

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

even if they do become pro-consumer you shouldn't spend there. because it'd be a temporary affair and soon as they win market share from steam it'll disappear.

It s a good start ngl.

What about taking a different route altogether and not be greedy? what about charging a flat fee (your costs plus some profits to run the infrastructure like yearly or monthly). What about not being evil?

There is a huge business opportunity IMO to do just that. Have a store, charge a flat fee, add whatever percentage wire transfers take (1-3%). You make money, you out-compete everyone and you are the good guy.

That would require having a platform worth something. Currently, they sank millions into the community - but in the wrong way. The client still lacks basic features and yet they spend money to buy exclusivity.

Fuck them, they don't deserve shit - praise or money.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I agree with this. What would make people jump from an evil corporation abusing its users and creators to another evil corporation abusing its users and creators.
