"Kinda feel bad for them now, people should also let smaller companies destroy the planet."
If this is (and stays) true, a well meant f*ck you to anyone telling us that NFT'S are the future anyway and that we should accept it. I'm really happy that a large part of the community stood up against this crap.
Good luck lmaoPlease SE, i can only laugh so much:

This scenario only works if EGS were successful.
It may be deemed market distorting (predatory pricing) if Valve did it but since Epic isn’t the dominant storefront it is “ok”. I do think it’s problematic because as we’ve seen with tech companies and limitless venture capital, this type of strategy can drive out competitors as long as enough money is invested. It reads to me as market distorting because it just becomes a race of who has more money to spend rather than which model is healthier.
Not a lawyer, but it is a high bar to demonstrate costing that benefits the customer as illegal. Epic would have to clearly state intents that they would never state (or at least the company wouldn't, who knows what Tim would do on Twitter) and it would have to be shown that there is harm to the market. It would also likely have to be shown that Epic controls a significant portion of the market or will control a significant portion of the market.
Anything below like 30$ has price on Epic Store that can't be matched by GMG and other smaller stores. And what Epic is doing is technically illegal (predatory pricing) but it is notoriously hard to prove it at court so it is getting pass for the most part. These low prices benefit customers in a short run, but they are can be really damaging in the long run if competition gets out of the business.
This is ridiculous. Epic isn't nearly as big to do so.
What they can say is that GMG primarily competes with the Steam store (and other sites selling Steam-enabled games) for sale of games in that specific ecosystem, whereas EGS exists outside of that dynamic and so has limited bearing on it. This is only partly true of course.
Amazon was small, how do you think they got this big? And other smaller stores like GMG already run at questionable profitability so any lost sales can be damaging to them.
Continuing on what beep boop said above, I think the law has not caught up with how to handle companies that have been operating on runaway speculation allowing those companies to operate on unimaginable losses and operate in ways that more established companies cannot without incurring more risk (i.e. a start-up company is likely leaner than an company that has been operating for decades).
Epic IS trying to drive competition off the market, they were never explicit about, but its pretty obvious from how they operate, but they can't, they don't have enough of the market to do so.
I think the general point is relevant in that Amazon cultivated expectations from consumers that were unrealistic given the losses it operated under for years and years. Then, when it had amassed a large enough customer base, it is able to finally turn a profit while individual smaller online stores can't operate at the thin margins Amazon does because they don't have the sheer scale to compensate or the amount of online presence.
That's exactly it. They have a pretty large userbase who don't buy much; people who don't have to buy anything and can be set for years just redeeming free things. The longer it goes on, the more skeptical you'd look at buying something new (assuming a degree of rationality), especially at full price, if you expect to get free things or heavily discounted games.
Not to worry. I only played 2 2021 games. Outriders and DDLC+. I voted for DDLC+ and for ongoing I picked FFXIV. Even just one vote is okies.I genuinly haven't played enough games this year to do that.
Glad you are doing okies and welcome back!!
Me too! I even asked about in the hardware thread yesterday. I don't even know where to start its new to me but wow does it seem to be so much to learn!
Ah, finally, a digital version of Android Netrunner ! 10 years too late when nobody will give a fuck.huh the top section is interesting with titles ripe to get bordgame and boardgame IPS to get console game
Maybe Ruined King? Even after the initial excitement people still seem to like it
Enough people to overload the servers
They had a giveaway of skins and stuff in Fortnite the same time as the promo started.Enough people to overload the servers
Dude, if you own 5 of them you are already well on your way to mechanical keyboard hell. Soon you'll join a couple of group buys for some keycaps you like, then you start small with something like a hotswappable keychron or the GMMK Pro, and next you know you are swimming in expensive 500$ boards, with lubed stabs, custom foams, and just generally over-modded to get just that perfect sound and colour matched keycaps, casing, cables and desk mats.
Here's my
The issues with flat keyboards I have, is, that when I want to "pull" the keyboard nearer to me with the arrow keys, I will slip up and press the left or right arrow and fuck up the video I am watching or more likely, the story I am reading (when websites have the feature to jump to the previous or next chapter with the left or right key)Here's mysecretopen issue : I am mistyping more and more on my flat Logitech Illuminated, drives me crazy, but the basic as fuck Logitech keyboard I bought for my mother feels horrible, too.
So I have no idea what to buy
I said before, and I will say it again, because of the EGS exclusivity, devs/pubs has no incentive to make a good port, they already got paid, the best thing for them is to delivery a minimum viable product and maybe flash it out a bit for a multi store release when the exclusivity expires.
Oof
Yeah, also I have a shorter shift key on the left. By the looks of it I would have to buy 2 or 3 different sets to make one keyboard.

Definately a case of taking the money and running with it. They have had 3 exclusivity deals on this (Initial 1 year, Intergrade and EGS) and this is what they shit out for us and then have the cheek to ask for £65.Alex on ERA about FVIIR PC
Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade releasing on EGS in December 16 (Up: Coming to Steam eventually)
Wow, the game is big. Had to uninstall a couple of not-so-old games to download it. Hopefully it's good.
Goddamn Im happy I decided to just play it on my PS4. Just gonna wait and cross my fingers that the Steam version will be more fixed.
EGS has no user reviews or forums, so nobody will know this until they actually bought it.Alex on ERA about FVIIR PC
