It's Paradox, they pretend to be nice and friends to their consumers but in truth they are just another publisher.
News Epic Games Store
- Thread starter Blizniak
- Start date
Does someone at Epic really like strategy games or something? It feels like they moneyhat a lot of them.
watch that "early access period" magically last EXACTLY 12 months .........
Uh, too bad EGS is ill-suited for all those tasty DLCs to come.

Thisll be a curious measure on if paradox games can attract a large base.
Get ready to be swarmed with so many goddamn paid DLCs just like most of Paradox's games.
Don't get me wrong, I love it when devs continue to support their games with paid DLC, but I would've at least see some free DLC for once.
Did you know that paradox has their own store and launcher where they would get 100% of the revenue?
How come the game won't even be sold there?
Could it be that it's not about the revenue split

I think GamersGate has been independent for years now, unless they opened a new store.Did you know that paradox has their own store and launcher where they would get 100% of the revenue?

Even signing exclusivity away from their own store.
But 88/12, right?

yup ... it's all about the better cut (and evil volvo tax) ... CLEARLY
Paradox exec: Steam’s 30% fee is “outrageous”
Wester says modern game distribution “doesn’t cost anything” compared to retail model.

Better cut is clearly so important that Paradox decided to give up their own store for Epic.

Another day, and still no signs of that Shenmue 3 refund.
I really don't understand why some people asked for a refund on the same day I did, and received their refund 11 days ago, and so far, I got nothing.

Clearly, all of the people who hate on EGS are either incels or MAGA bros, it's just another launcher you silly baboons! Let's sing a gospel in Tim Sweeney's honor!
Considering I'm never touching a game before 1.0 ever again, this means nothing to me. EGS can have as much EA exclusivity as it wants.

Yes, that reflects my sentiment about PDX games too.
I 've bought Stellaris at launch, the middle edition about € 40 or something and after that i had to face DLCpocalypse and constant gameplay changes.
I liked, and still like, the game and i had bought one needless DLC as i though i was rewarding them but i soon found out i was not.
I was encouraging them to continue this crap.
I also found out i was buying an ealry access game carefully camouflaged as a finished one.
And, as long as there are mindless whales out there, PDX will continue to be assholes, i 'm afraid.
And what about that last argument the useful idiots have by claiming about "free patches and soooo much value on DLC".
Well... it depends.
Free patches are not that free because most of them utilize some features found only on the DLCs they are "banded" with.
And while some of the paid DLCs offer some nice things that is not always happening (see how many times they broke Stellaris gameplay) and they definitely aren't worth a even a fragment of their starting price.
Yes, i am at war with PDX, my lone private one. I am missing their games -or get them at ridiculously low price mostly from keysellers and they are missing my money and my good will.
i actually bought it at release ... and i would've bought this one as well ... too bad i can't anymore
might just wait for a bundle or something instead
as a reminder - they went public a while ago .... so their only responsibility right now is to make more and more money for their shareholdersFor Christs sake Paradox, not you too
Who doesn't have a lot of games on at least 2 client this days, honestly? I have almost 200 games on gog, never played anything even tho I would like to participate on it, and God knows how many on the Twitch thing (I don't even know how to download them tbh)
I don't know, freebies this days are becoming less and less appealing because someone give away something on a daily basis
Ditto hereAnother day, and still no signs of that Shenmue 3 refund.
I really don't understand why some people asked for a refund on the same day I did, and received their refund 11 days ago, and so far, I got nothing.
That explains. Oh well, they won't see my money, that for sure.
It seems more and more devs and publishers don't give a shit about consumers anymore, but rather rely on capitalistic decisions to get more money: 2K, EA, Ubisoft, Activision, WB, Deep Silver etc etc.
The mainstream audience doesn't seem to care, but I'm getting tired of giving these companies my money. Which is sad, because many talented people are working on these games...
Do you want my Shenmue 3 refund money? Because that's how you get my Shenmue 3 refund money.
YS.net: "Is that a request?"Don't mention Shenmue 3 refund money to me.
Don't talk to me or my Yu Suzuki ever again.Don't mention Shenmue 3 refund money to me.
I got Surviving Mars with a Humble Bundle and admittedly it utterly failed to keep me hooked, so I won't lose sleep over this.
Which reminds me a realization I had a couple of days ago: most of the original lot of EGS launch exclusives are now close the expiration of these 12 months they agreed on, and when I think about it, it really helps to put things in perspective.
You know what? Bar this happening to something that I was STRONGLY anticipating (say Cyberpunk 2077 or Bannerlords) I realized that I mostly don't give a shit.
No, really. The wait for these games (Hades, Satisfactory, Ashen, etc) to come back on other stores definitely didn't pain me much, if at all.
Hell, at this point I'm still not sure I give enough of a shit to try them once they land on Steam either, frankly.

Wow, imagine that. It took almost ONE FULL YEAR for ONE major gaming site to report the shocking reveal of what most of us have been repeating for a year straight, beig often dismissed as some sort of lunatics and "toxic entitled gamers who can't click one extra icon".IGN are the good guys today in this increasingly obvious simulation world we're living in.
Report: Steam's 30% Cut Is Actually the Industry Standard - IGN
A breakdown of how much every major retailer takes from the sale of a game.uk.ign.com
Maybe the major gaming sites also had one year exclusivity and now the deal is ending
looks like someone struck a nerve
I understand that you were being sarcastic, but....
Discord has a 90/10 split and nobody is using it, nobody is promoting it and media isn't talking about it because epic needs to be the hero.
This was never about the split, but about epic bribes.
Is there a chance this could escalate and IGN could react? Please!looks like someone struck a nerve

This was expected, but it's so good to see him lose it like that !looks like someone struck a nerve
Wait, is it me or he doesn't know how to do maths ? How can a store can make more profit than a dev, when the biggest cut is 30% ?
Haha wow he's so cranky and petty!
Alright Mr thinking about the Devs, lower the egs store cut to 0%, stop with the moneyhats and let actual struggling Indies in. Then I'll believe the rants.

I’ll make a “storefront” and take only 1%. It’s gonna be a huge white page with blue links to the devs web page.
Then I’ll start shouting “seee? 1%!!! Totally possible!!!”

DEFINITELY struck a nerve ...
when you have this much money you literally don't have to do anything anymore ... he's almost definitely bored out of his mind ...
