      Congrats to GOG! More proof that the multi-store future is here now. And rather than fragmenting the PC gaming community, GOG’s Galaxy efforts are working to bring it together and unite it with console communities too.https://twitter.com/OC3D/status/1148335204492333057 …

      So you fragment the PC community by snapping up exclusives, some of which are crowd funded all in the name of quashing Steam's revenue split, but then congratulate GOG for non-exclusive sales numbers, unification launcher, all while they have a similar revenue split as Steam? 🤔

      Here, CD Projekt is receiving 100% of the revenue from their sales of their own game - CD Projekt and GOG are the same company. The fact that they were able to achieve 33% market share while competing with Steam (and Epic too) is very significant news as it shows games>stores.

      This can't be right. You said yourself that the only way to compete with Steam is using exclusivity deals. 🙄

      the only way epic can "compete" with steam are exclusives, other stores just have to care for costumers and deliver good features, i mean it's not like epic will trying something else, they're not smart enough

      Exactly. Epic didn't even try to compete. Sweeney himself said that the storefront war will be won by pleasing developers, not consumers. He sees us as caddle.

      Ok, but my quote there is: “These battles will be won on the basis of game supply, consumer prices, and developer revenue sharing." This “not consumers” line that folks are citing is something I never said. It’s a quote of a writer editorializing about Epic.

          You didn't say it but your actions in the past 8 months since the store release is actually showing us that it's actually that way you think. Your service level is on pair with G2A and reputation too, difference is developers switching places with consumers on the reputation part

          Replying to @cosporcos @TimSweeneyEpic and

          Even the communication has similarities, if something comes across wrong the fault is on someone on the team (metro exodus, your representative said something you denied it the day after, G2A has been doing the same). I won't purchase on either stores, both have major faults.

          Notice how only 1 thing you mention benefits consumers. AND IT ACTUALLY DOESN'T CUZ GAME PRICES ARE STILL THE SAME AS STEAM(not to mention steam having more regional prices)so the made up quote is made up but seems to fit like a glove

          I think it can be easily understood with how epic store is right now, and yes i've checked roadmap, but no, i still rather regional pricing, more payment methods and even discord offers 10-90 revenue, slow tech support, launcher problems and not even forums to know what i'll buy

          and no, i don't like places like IGN, i rather user reviews since they're the ones testing the game completley, even steam forums are filled with epic users asking about bugs ._.

          believe me, i do tryed to use epic store, and i'm not against competition but i honestly believe that exclusivity does hurt players mostly by region locking them out, having less features like forums and reviews can lead to buy awfully bad games like The sinking city, to say smth

          Always look for the quotes to see what was actually said, separate from the writer’s editorial commentary.

          all in all it still comes down to consumers, of which i am not one to patron your store. At least for Borderlands 3, for that I will stick with Steam, I don't mind the extra wait time.
