So this is the power of Ukraine

steam houses the largest playerbase in the world though

And the epic store is installed on every PC with Fortnite.

fucking based
fuck valve and their jew client

steam gets a huge cut of sales and also Epic Store probably paid them a huge amount of money (that they have from zoomers playing fortnite) so they make it exclusive

How much overlap is there between the fortnite playerbase and metro's target audience? Does anybody over the age of 13 play fortnite?

There's plenty of popular platforms that take nothing or a tiny amount or an optional amount, though. It's really not a good deal if you already have a solid audience, however it's a very good deal if you're basically unknown.

this

no its not dumb zoomer, fuck your forklite

>denuvo and epic launcher
They are just asking for people to pirate it.

>Does anybody over the age of 13 play fortnite?
Yes but they should be locked up.

first they need to crack it
cracking scene looks pretty poor since Voksi got arrested last year
CPY and CODEX crack something with Denuvo once in 2-3 weeks but it's nothing compared to Voksi, who was cracking 1 game every day

no way i want to install two launcher especially a launcher that advertise fortnite

Then it should be their decision on what they value more. It probably doesn't hurt them as much if they lose a percentage of potential players who refuse to download the epic launcher, compared to the rather large margin that they would lose on every game sold on steam compared to the epic store. In all honesty, I don't really care myself, because I won't buy it either way. But I think it's a perfectly fine decision by a developer to make, even if they should've announced it sooner. Maybe it will put some pressure on steam's financial strategy if more and more publishers follow suit.

of course it is, but doing it after advertising it on steam isn't really reflecting well on their behalf

Why not just release it on both? I don't want any of this exclusivity bullshit on PC.

Yeah I agree, they should've had more foresight than that really. I wonder how much it will hurt them in the end though.

I can only guess of course, but they probably assume that if they release it exclusively on Epic store, more people will buy it there, leaving them with better price percentages compared to when only a little minority would actually buy it there, with lots of people getting it over steam still. That, and probably quite large sum of Epic/Tencent money upfront to get them on board for their store exclusivity.

good.
steam is randomly banning japanese games as well just because they dont meet their sjw standard
even though most of them are shitty moeshit ones, censoring/banning anything they dont like is a total dick move.
its turned into a shit amerimutt centric platform for naive mutt casuals and mutt sjws.

although epic is owned by chinks, and i wouldnt join a chink platform either

Only buy your video games from GOG.

>japanese games
japanese games aka masturbation simulator and super mario 69

>ITT: manbabies giving a shit on what platform they will play
plz kys

>support for banning of games

i dont play moeshit but am anti-censorship

i didnt think russians supported mutt sjw-ism
although their puritanism is similar to old-school communism so no wonder.

Shan't be buying this game like the previous two

Fuck all these launchers
I lost 3 games because I forgot my account to the ubishit launcher and the EA one

>ubishit launcher and the EA
Not a big waste honestly.

Steam is banning japanese games because they are fucking trash. 99% of games produced in Asia do look identical, except maybe for UI and character models. Also stop selling anime PICTURES with a text over for $60 bucks.

Wasted £100+

Only first metro is "good", others are trash.

Metro was always an overrated linear turd. Nothing grinds my gears like hearing someone compare it to STALKER. It's not even fucking close. Doubt i'll even pirate this one.

Those games were utter trash anyways, blame yourself that you bought them.

what the fuck are you talking about? there's tonnes of porn games on steam
just because your snuff shit doesn't make it in doesn't mean valve is 'sjw' you retard

afaik in russia if you want to change your ea launcher password you have to do a phone call to moscow

I can't play metro games because there's one ukrainian main voice actor (cheeki breeki guy from STALKER) who is making money now by voicing ukrainian propaganda tv show about aliens who rule Russia and how we eat hedgehogs to not die from hunger.

>propaganda tv show about aliens who rule Russia and how we eat hedgehogs to not die from hunger
You what now?

That's hourly wage in the w*st

> tv show about aliens who rule Russia and how we eat hedgehogs to not die from hunger.

lel

Anyway first Metro game is nothing spectacular it's okay to finish it once, but the other new games offer exactly nothing new and as other Lithuanian user said are linear turds, even comparing it to STALKER is retarded.

Haha, don't listen to Alexander, he's joking. We don't eat hedgehogs.

are the aliens at least cheeki breeki?

fine , ill buy it on pirate bay then

its sjw. you should research it further and shoudlnt trust modern amerimutt/anglo-cunt sjwism and anything called out by their sjw media. their puritanical attitude is very jingoistic exclusive xenophobic and radical, its hugely different from your euro liberalism

Japanese games sure are great but they don't suit in steam.

There's a ~8% difference in the cut the stores take, which is way less than the proportion of people not using Epic store but using Steam instead. What they're doing is getting a bigger chuck on a smaller cake. That and burning some bridges with pro-exclusivity bullshit.

>draw a couple of pics
>call it a game
why did the japanese mean by this?

>backtracks on the censorship issue
you're being very sjw here, ken-san. having access to paedoshit and snuffshit is not a right, and it is not valves obligation to give it to you

American censorship is shit. Imagine being this censored.

pretty sure they call them visual novels, not games

>>draw a couple of pics

And it's actually good.

>randomly banning japanese games
>They're all moeshit porn dating sims "video games"
Uh huh. Whatever you say, teacher-kun.

like i said, i dont play any moeshit. the only games i bought on steam are those three stalker games.

what im talking about is the danger of censorship

if you and some retards on this thread wanna support steam randomly banning games and not clarifying the reasons then so be it. i at least warned.

literally no one cares those pederastic anime games, how much of Steam user base plays those? 0.000002%?

>talking about the danger of censorship
>put censor on people's genitals in porns

Lmao.

I don't like japanese games in general, but Jesus I feel you. "Active shooter" game was pulled out of steam because of american snowflakes (Yes, I am aware of MW2 mission "no russian" that was cut out from the russian version and it's bad too).

Good. Fuck steam. Bout time they get competition.

>fartnite blew up a year ago
why are younglings so retarded they don't know when fads become cringe?

GOG has existed for a decade. We don't need yet another botnet client for vidya.

except that the fortnite zoomer client is even more anti-consumer than steam with no community reviews and such bullshit

lol just no
since steam exists it has long been established that these stores (valve for example takes 30%) are worlds better for the developers than the classic publisher+developer teams where the developers usually got a mere 10-20% of the sales.

Don't publishers finance the development though?

I side with steam, but aggressive competitor may do steam cuts their % interest so good thing.

Because Valve takes 30% of all sales

Imagine being fanatically loyal to a videogame store

Don't play this shit man, i beg you.

t. Gays

partially, yes.
the publisher usually pays the developer a fixed amount beforehand, but i think only the most successful developers could negotiate a contract where the publisher pays the whole development, or give extra funding in case of delays.

"huge" they don't take that much and how much they're taking is considered a small amount
