I do appreciate how Tim continues to paint himself as a hero when it's clear what he's really doing.
Toll booths obstructing open commerce....

(and I doubt big publishers would like that idea).
In theory, this would be ideal. A universal licence. But what Sweeney really means is that he wants to sell the game and he wants others to take charge of the service and distribution bit. Purchase on EGS, then exploit the other's platforms and make them handle all the distribution and service fees.I mean "universal ownership" sounds like a game should not be tied to a service, but that's not what they've done ...

He really doesn't want to implement a shopping cart. That's my takeaway.

Saying games shouldn't be locked to a store and then bringing moneyhat exclusives to PC which.....lock games to his store. Twat.
If you want your stuff there, yes.They gonna force people even on Steam to use an Epic account? Did I read this right?
So I will be able to play my Steam copy without an Epic account? If so, good, I don't want nothing to do with EGS.If you want your stuff there, yes.
I am shocked, totally and utterly shocked ... that it took this long to happen.
I don't think that's the case. It will migrate over to EGS, leave steam and your Steam-version profile will be there in the new f2p setup, but it will require EGS at that point.So I will be able to play my Steam copy without an Epic account? If so, good, I don't want nothing to do with EGS.
I don't think this was posted.
Do we have any player numbers for steam festival?
Epic has it's Summer Sale today.
Didn't they already have one though?
for a store that said they won't ever be doing any store-wide sales when they launched they sure are doing A LOT of store-wide sales

Wasn't the last one before the summer started?Epic has it's Summer Sale today.

According to Rock Paper Shotgun, the summer sale won't give out new coupons.
Which is odd considering the main reason Ive seen people talking about buying stuff on EGS on social media platforms is because of the coupons.
I mean, coupons are without a doubt a big incentive to use EGS, regardless if you like EGS or not, so not giving out more coupons will hurt EGS big time, I think.
For the developers?Translation error. They meant never no sales.
Nah, not equitable. You could find things in that store, you might not want to, but you could. Also, you could buy more than one item at once
For the developers?
No, summer sales!
So what's the deal with Tetris Effect? As far as I understand Xbox now has exlusivity for the new Connected version and thus delaying the Steam version indefinitely?
That is some bs.
So, EGS Summer Sale is going on, and I'm barely seeing anyone talking about it, there's some articles about it, and the people with Creator Codes are doing their thing, but besides that, apparently, and this is just anecdotal, no one cares.
It's a coupon-less sale, who gives a shitSo, EGS Summer Sale is going on, and I'm barely seeing anyone talking about it, there's some articles about it, and the people with Creator Codes are doing their thing, but besides that, apparently, and this is just anecdotal, no one cares.
EGS has trained people to expect free games, not deals.So, EGS Summer Sale is going on, and I'm barely seeing anyone talking about it, there's some articles about it, and the people with Creator Codes are doing their thing, but besides that, apparently, and this is just anecdotal, no one cares.
Why wait for Sale when you can wait for the game to be free hahaSo, EGS Summer Sale is going on, and I'm barely seeing anyone talking about it, there's some articles about it, and the people with Creator Codes are doing their thing, but besides that, apparently, and this is just anecdotal, no one cares.
Is there a way to change to another currency?
Doesn't most overlays (Steam, Discord, Windows, etc) just work with a game without the game developers having to integrate support?
Yes, you can change the region/currency on your account, but the second you attempt to purchase something, regardless if the purchase goes through or not, you are locked to that region/currency until you ask customer support to move you to another country.
I know because I tried it when the store launched. You also need VPN though to purchase anything.
