I'm not a petty person, so I hope those comment wont come back to bite them in the ass. But it will funny to watch if it comes to that.
OP
They won't.
With the anti-consumer direction the whole gaming industry is heading towards, they will be hailed as frontrunners and enablers by the gaming press, publishers and pretty much everyone other than us, games.
Probably Epic will pay them if they don't sell a certain amount of copies.
If the Rebel Galaxy people didn't get an upfront payment they are bigger idiots than they already sound.

They need to fire whoever signed that deal.Rebel Galaxy Outlaws devs claiming that there's no difference between 1st party and 3rd party exclusives
It also seems they didn't get any money up front, unlike Coffee Stain.
i want to believe this wont happen but it will probably happen.I also want to play MK11 but I'm out of cash for games. i still have some eShop credit but... I want it on PC haha

... and on a completely unrelated note:
Risk of Rain 2 is about 500.000 I thought. Probably more now? Risk of Rain 2 tops 650,000 players in first week - Gematsu
Man, I was forced to work on a weekend ONCE and I was fucking livid (the project was a mess anyway), I cant imagine being expected to work 100h weeks PLUS weekends.
... and on a completely unrelated note:
All while Tim drinks champagne and fights with people on Twitter.
That's just the cost of taking on the greedy, gargantuan, incompetent, TERRIBAD Valve.
... and on a completely unrelated note:
Absolutely disgusting. People need to work 100 hours a week so this asshole can be even more obscenely rich.

pretty much, yeah ... fuck epic, fuck Tim, and fuck the entire AAA industry (this shit happens pretty much everywhere) ... let it all burn to the ground
yes ... yes, it is
they're LITERALLY ruining people's lives (physically and mentally)

they still do ... nothing has changed (and probably won't change any time soon)
If you think indie devs don't work 100 hour weeks, you're deluding yourself.

oh, i know .... trust me
but if they're doing it to themselves (when it's a very small studio or just a one-person thing) - that's a problem of capitalism in general ... you know what i mean
Try linking that to Tim any time he tries to talk about benefiting the industry with EGS.
I guess MK11 has workshop support? Steam Community :: Mortal Kombat 11
Share your moves!
Find and download player created Practice Recordings, or create your own in-game and upload them directly to the Workshop.
That's cool.

Well, yes?
That's pretty awesome. Only 6 more minutes till it unlocks.
It continues to be hilarious (but mostly sad) how people can lionize Epic (in whatever fucking context) and also pretend they care about video game developers.
The Epic Store is a blatant attempt at disrupting a great PC Gaming store, for no other reason than to line the pockets of Epic. It doesn't help the industry, it doesn't force Valve to get better (as if they would need Epic, Valve has never stopped making Steam better, without external pressure too), it also doesn't help poor indie devs.
I respect Rami Ismail, but his "you have been out-competitioned" quote continues to get dumber and dumber as time goes on.

You guys just want to hate on Epic xDDDDD also did you know that Valve has been sitting on their asses for 15 years now? I logged into Steam in 2009 and wow it was horrible! It def needs some competition! Also, what is GMG? Sounds sketchy xD they're not like Epic that came up with thar brilliant idea of battle royale!
This is a great sum up of comments from people defending EGS.
I can't imagine how it feels for Epic employees to see all the success and money Fortnite makes and realize that they're treated worse than dogs of medieval royalty while their boss playing Game of Thrones with Gaben. At least Valve employees seems to be mostly happy with their job.
Valve is pretty much the ideal place to work though. Valve don't do anything yet their store keeps getting features and they keep releasing hardware. Can you imagine working a place where the products you sell keep improving even with everyone being complacent and lazy? Valve's take on VR will be announced soon yet no one moved their butts!
If anyone thinks actual developers as in employees who actually work on game get any of Epic's money...
I have a theory. In reality Gaben is not human, he's a highly advanced android from the future pretending to be an average American who secretly builds Skynet (code name HL3), he also the only one who really works at Valve. Tim Sweeney learned it the hard way, and now he restlessly fights for humanities future.
Given how many people still believe in that 'passing the savings to the consumer' bs, I dont doubt people believe that Tim walks around the office in Santa Claus cosplay giving 6 figures bonus checks to their employees.
I think Origin might have gone Offline...
What makes you say that?I think Origin might have gone Offline...
I just realized, as we're going to have a GotY voting, it should be for all plaforms ala Era.
Forcing yourself to do it vs being forced to by others isn't the same thing, even if the reasons and end result are
No no no
Let's make the couragious choice and have a GOTY voting limited to EGS games.
You don't get that rich that quickly by acting ethically.

Neither is a "good" thing, but there's a huge difference between a faceless corporation encouraging 100 hour weeks, and self-employed businesspeople choosing to work 100 hour weeks.
I don't mind working the occasional super-stuffed week to further my own family business, which my family directly runs, directly profits from and which has a mission I care about.
I sure as hell wouldn't do it for Tim Sweeney though.
It seems to work now.

BTW lashman I poste this sometime last week
Despite saying I wouldn't do it I ended up nearly at the end of NG++ (with some save scumming for the endings) and modifying the xp multiplier to get the last few skills (the grind wasn't worth it)./ISPOILER]
Worry not ... at somepoint in an undefined distant future it will ... just trust me ... it will ... you just can't see that the people who complained because they wanted a larger piece of the pie are going to lower the price to make just the same amount of money they do now

Humble More Board Games Bundle by Asmodee Digital
Not a bundle for me this time.
Not exactly a bad thing though, since I haven't really gotten to the games from the last 2 bundles yet, haha.

Guess it depends on whether one like board games, but I hope more people check out this bundle. Twilight Struggle at $1 is an insanely good deal.
