player 		@TimSweeneyEpic Stop being a little bitch because your product sucks and can't compete. I can buy games from Steam, Epic, GOG, PlayStation, Xbox, Green Man Gaming, along with various other third party websites. There is no monopoly. You're just a fucking child that can't figure out how to win.

player 		@TimSweeneyEpic hey Tim, if Valve is raising pricing for games across platforms, can you give a single example of an Epic exclusive that was sold cheaper than the standard pricing? Surely there is at least 1 example of a game that didn't release on steam being sold for cheap for gamers, right?

player 		@TimSweeneyEpic Well the truth is sometimes "harsh". And the truth of this matter is that it doesn't matter how @Valve got there, the price is too high. There is simply a pricing threshold for every product, that once crossed, makes it unviable. Valve sprinted past that line.

player 		@georgebsocial @TimSweeneyEpic Valve will only do that if you are selling steam keys off the platform for a big discount. If you are selling copies that have no ties to Steam, valve doesn't care if you sell it for less.

player 		@TimSweeneyEpic @zewmerz You literally said you wont ever do that again because you 'lost money'. So ONE game you put cheaper then on Steam, and then Steam still outsold you? Yeah I'd be throwing bullshit lawsuits too.

player 		@georgebsocial @TimSweeneyEpic The dev can trivially go into Steamworks and set the sale price for their game to the same as they are doing for the other platform for the same duration.

player 		@TimSweeneyEpic You know you could just make a launcher that isn't shit, right? You're going through legal battles to fight Steam, when you could just do better with your product.

player 		@TimSweeneyEpic You’re just mad your store sucks and people would rather go to a highly consumer friendly store to pay for a game even when it’s free on your dumpster fire.

player 		Because it's a bogus issue that Timmy Whinny is using to stir up unnecessary drama in an attempt to attract customers to his crappy store. Steam does what everyone else does—they take 30%—and that's never been a problem for decade. Epic comes along with its pre-alpha store, brags about its 12% cut, thinking it’ll immediately attract devs and then players. When it doesn’t work: He whines, writes a check to keep things exclusive temporarily, and screams that Steam is ripping off devs. Why mentioning the Microstore ? it’s basically just a mobile app store for Xbox games. 13 0 thread

player 		@TimSweeneyEpic @SoloEnSteam I dont think this man is Human anymore, really just put another launcher in your launcher that will cause people to not use your launcher because the other one is better. Man Epic games store really is Internet Explorer, use it to download the thing to replace it

player 		@TimSweeneyEpic Every store with an actual customer base takes 30% Tim. If you could compete with these stores with a smaller cut, you wouldn't have to do hostile takeovers of studios and force their games to be exclusive to your store

player 		@georgebsocial @TimSweeneyEpic If the "other store" is not selling a steam-enabled build - sure! Set whatever price they want. Totally agree. But if the game has core functionality built around Steamworks - achs, presence, networking, entitlement checks,etc - then price parity seems pretty fair.
