Basically don't be disingenuous about it like foolmo is. Uh... But when a dev refuses to put a game on sale, or sells a game for $20 or $30 instead of the standard $15, or only sells on Itch & Epic instead of Steam, know that they are trying to make more money, which may or may not benefit you. foolmo's basic points in this topic boil down to 'Steam sale culture hurts game devs' and 'Epic games exclusivity is a byproduct of that'. He's been pretty consistent on those points. Yeah, and my point is Steam sale culture helps the consumer. And you quoted Gilded's post mocking fool, not fool's actual post. Fool's post was pretending like that actually helps the consumer. It's fine for devs to chase the money. But don't act like it's good for the consumer when you do. foolm0r0n posted... Mewtwo59 posted... I will as soon as you go tell Epic to stop paying off devs to keep their games off Steam and consumers have more choice. I am not going to tell anyone to stop paying developers for their games. That is the problem in the first place. YOU are the problem. I know you won't admit it here, but you do know that. Just sit back on the sidelines and try not to harass too many innocent people while you beg for them to give you free games. Funny. You assume I'd buy every game I'd buy in a sale for $60. It's not like the choices are get the game for free or pay $60. You could keep the game at $60 and I'd never buy it, or put it on sale and I'd buy it. Only one of those results in the devs getting money from me, and it's not keeping it at $60. If anything, I'd guess that Epic's exclusivity is losing devs more money than Steam's sales. What was that Gabe quote? "We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem" So if this causes devs to lose more money to piracy, is that okay, just because they got a check from Epic and a higher cut from the sales? --- ""Love" is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope."
