Pretty nice apology for being so dang late! Good guy SEGA comes through again. :) Glad this had a happy end.
And soon I can finally start VC4. Bless.
Chairmanchuck I went to check and Epic prices stuff for me as per America, so Metro Exodus is USD 50 (base price), but I agree with your sentiment.
I hope everyone stays calm. I need you all here and available when I eventually break my gaming laptop for troubleshooting.
At least I stopped reading horror stories on Reddit about my model which so far has given me no issues.
Still working my way thru my library downloading games that I couldn't play on my older laptop.
I'm using about 8tb of external storage and Comcast has threatened me multiple times over the past few months for going over my download limit.
But I really want as many games as possible accessible and ready to go.
Biggest surprise has been enjoying games I didn't think I would and finding games I thought I would love to not be so great to me at this time.
Sometimes it's like a different personality is building my library lol.

That's quite a resume... Lots of failures. Still, he had success at Telltale before the demise.
Ai caramba, I did a quick google search and the name shows up on Atari, Midway, Telltale and Epic.
Considering the companies he's tied with in the past, I would think twice about hiring him, regardless of his talent. That's just some bad luck associated with the fellow, no offense.
Hey hombre, I notice that you start A LOT of games lately. Are you doing reviews for them or just testing stuff?
Nice!
Exactly what I needed to justify buying the beach DLC.
Any of the other DLC worth playing?
edit: Wait I already had those DLC's. Oh, well I wanted the beach regardless.

Thanks for the heads up, i was just looking for some discount just to be prepared for the release!
Working on more of a console like setup. My biggest issue with PC is this. Dirt 2 , yes let's race a bit I got 20 minutes free,
Launching Dirt 2 from steam
Oh wait even though it's downloaded it needs to do first time setup because I haven't played it on this system.
2 minutes later, crash.
Check the usual places for a fix
Need to download GFWL client okkk.
5 minutes later
Relaunch Dirt 2. It's alive!
Login to GFWL, shieettt despite where I work I haven't logged into anything Xbox in over a year ...
Type in one of my gamer tags, password auto fills, thank god!
Wait what! GFWL needs to update and reboot game
5 minutes later
Game rebooted
Relogin to GFWL
But in the wrong resolution. Let's get thru the opening crap to find settings
Found it! Adjust settings
5 minutes later
And now I have no time to really play because I have to head out. lol
So yeah I'm working on getting all my favorites installed, setup, tutorial bs bypassed.
Trying to be smart by using external drives so when I update my hardware I won't have to redownload everything.
Getting my favorite Assasins Creed games setup was exciting. I love to just pop in those worlds and mess around a bit from time to time.
Also since it's the first time I've had a system powerful enough to play most things my buddy back home who I've played games with since we were 5 years old , is excited that we can now play co op. So that has opened up a whole new side to my library for sure.
My hypothesis is if PC games are more accessible to me I might just play more.
I knew it. There are so many troll accounts that circle the Epic threads it's ridiculous. They all have low post-count, embarrassing post-history, and recent join dates in common. When I report them to mods, I include all these details and write a note that says "Check post history." I'm surprised they aren't permed. I think the biggest ban I saw was a week. I don't see the point of keeping troll accounts around, but whatever.
Neato, but I'd say this issue you mentioned is mainly for games that didn't rid themselves of GFWL, but I'd assume for any other game you'd be able to run them without issues.
There is a guy in the other thread that is adamant that Valve did the same thing as Epic by making Half-Life 2 Steam exclusive. We have now seen everything.
Wasn't really bothering with Resident Evil 2 but just downloaded and played the demo.
Damn, that's a strong demo.
Damn, that's a strong demo.
Yeah, this problem has infested both GAF and Era for a while, and it's very hard for moderation to fully confirm.
Damn. Discussion about valve around here seems to be a shitshow. (Not in this thread but elsewhere) Like fuck, the hate boner for PC gaming is real. Maybe people think that all of us are loaded or pirate things.
Lol at the alt account.

If you only post in "competition" PC threads and you have a low number of posts, sorry but I'm gonna assume the worst.
late on this, but yeah they're better off trying to improve their relations with devs and third parties than imposing stricter terms on them
Nnn...Hnnnnnggg I need it.This pink gaming line-up from Razer is lit
Well, I need stuff like this not from Razer.
DDOS?
Edit: Maybe it is the issue which they mentioned 16 hours ago.
Well, they are *very* slowing matching some features to Steam... maybe they finally got up to "maintenance tuesday".
I don't think they even get 12%. There's still the fees from the card merchant handling the transactions, which might be... 1-2%? Not much for the usual cut, but with Epic taking so little, they might be getting as low as 10% from each sale.
Kind of crazy you can't access/view your library. I don't think I've ever seen this anywhere else, certainly not Steam.
Rabid Steam cowboys trying to shut down competition in their toxic pro-consumer fight?
Apparently for some payment methods customers have to pay the fees.

They have consumers paying some of those fees. Which almost always have been paid for by the merchant.
The 12% doesnt mean the profit range. According to them, the "costs" are only 5-7% , which would give them a 7-5% profit range.
But if we consider how slow they are at updating the service and how they are passing some of the costs for transactions into the consumers, I think they undercalculated the costs.
The atmosphere reminded me of Dead Space 1, a game I loved. I'm probably gonna hold off on buying it for now but it's high on my wishlist now.
Maybe there is a reason why places take a higher cut, maybe selling things has a cost associated with them.
And maybe Epic has been feeding off the ignorance of the general population about how markets work in saintifying themselves.
Is there an issue with the Epic library? Mine does not seem to be loading.
Edit: I cannot buy anything either. The button to purchase a game is "loading" forever.
Epic servers have been shit since something like 21:00 yesterday.
If they go down, you can't play, download or buy anything.
I suspected a DDOS yesterday, was I right?
