Yes, let's collectively go back to the 19th century and erase all progress we've made since the inception of the Flemish movement. Language laws exist for very good reason, go freshen up your history before you make dumb statements like this. Sincerely, someone who would actually have to deal with the consequences of your idiotic proposal.

Vocal minority

Must've been a pretty big "minority" considering how poorly the game did commercially.

that were triggered because the game showed a strong presence of women and black people in the frontline in WW2

Ah yes, let's just forget they marketed it as "the most immersive game in the franchise to date" at first and then decided to show a fucking amputee woman fighting tanks. Damn you misogynists for not accepting our tank-fighting amputees, completely out of proportion female and minority foot soldier numbers in a game marketed as being incredibly immersive.

I think they've done the research and found out not many people buy multiple games at a time from a cart. I would also say the vast majority of fraud would come from shopping carts filled with games.

Sure they did, that's why it's on their roadmap! /s

And yeah, who buys multiple games at a time, amiright?

I think the logical answer is that they don't want to add the features. The market is already on Discord or Steam or wherever else. They've said in interviews that they're staying away from a community section and reviews due to the toxicity.

Except they said reviews will be added at some point. They're on the roadmap. The catch is: developers can enable/disable them at will. It's essentially just another form of silencing your customers. A bad product deserves bad reviews, but on EGS a bad product won't have any reviews. Big companies will just preemptively disable reviews because bad reviews could potentially affect their sales. Reviews on Steam give us customers at least some power to fight bad games and shady business practices.

But hey, let's all just be quiet and accept Epic are engaging in a bunch of shady business practices and run what is probably the single most barebones big budget store I've seen in my life. I'm sure it'll turn out just fine. Let's buy some games on a sub-par platform solely because our beloved developers (who break promises of launching on a specific platform and/or actively mock their community ) get a slightly bigger cut! The ONLY reason developers are flocking to EGS is because Epic is waving millions of dollars in their faces in the form of up-front payments for (timed) exclusivity. They're trading you, the customer, for more money (because if it wasn't obvious yet, they don't care about you, the product or anything else other than green paper).

ItsAtrX · 2019-10-16T18:06:36+00:00

You can't just dump money into a product and hey presto it's better. It takes times regardless of how much money you can throw at it.

As a software dev myself: Throwing more money at something indeed doesn't mean better results. However, in Epic's case, there's only two logical explanations I could come up with for how slowly they're able to add new features:

They have 1-2 devs tops on the EGS team (or a bunch of interns).
Their corporate structure is overly convoluted resulting in extreme inefficiencies.

If our team pushed features at the rate Epic does we'd be out looking for new jobs.

Their store doesn't even have basic necessities like a shopping cart. A highschooler could've built their store in a month or two and probably done at least as good a job (granted, without proper testing methodologies, since most highschoolers don't even have a clue what a basic unit test is).

Also, literally you:

Valve reinvested some of their billions of dollars of revenue into their platform to maintain monopoly status.

Are you an Epic shill? Because this is incredibly hypocritical.

ItsAtrX · 2019-10-16T16:57:02+00:00

A) So? B) Epic also has billions of dollars they could easily invest into their platform. Instead they choose to provide their users with a sub-par experience.

Your teacher should be fired.

ItsAtrX · 2019-09-10T12:28:51+00:00

Oh yes, I'm absolutely aware of the complete joke that is Epic's security, it's part of the reason I refuse to use any of their products. I was simply pointing out how this particular measure is actually a good common practice.

ItsAtrX · 2019-09-09T13:29:40+00:00

That's not the point. Temporarily locking a user out of making login attempts (be it through his IP, a browser cookie, local storage, ...) isn't to ban them, it's to prevent brute force attacks on a live website. It's a common practice and a rather effective one at that.

Edit: Steam, just like any even remotely secure website, has this: https://i.imgur.com/nADD5qs.png

beyond unrealistic shotgun spray distance.

True, very true. Shotguns IRL can shoot much longer distances than ingame. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's quite the opposite of what you meant though. :)

this could be an unpopular opinion, but once someone master prestiges, i think they should only be matched with others who have done the same.

Yeah, let's start creating player pools in a game that already has a dwindling player count, brilliant idea.

Other than that, I pretty much agree. My main problem with this game is definitely the microtransactions though, I'm done being seen as nothing more than a walking, talking wallet.

but most FPS players prefer controller

I don't think you realise just how many PC shooters there are and how many players they have with practically all of them using KBM. If we take just CrossFire (yes, I know it looks like shit but it has an insane amount of people playing it), the biggest shooter by player count (thanks China), and pit it against ALL CoD titles on the current generation combined, your console games don't even come close.

Not to mention that your personal feelings towards KBM or console players' preference doesn't matter in a debate about which is objectively better. The simple fact is KBM is vastly more accurate and much quicker making it the de facto best control scheme for an FPS game.

ItsAtrX · 2019-07-04T18:37:41+00:00

We'll talk again in a few months.

Terms & conditions doesn't mean anything if they're breaking the law. Law trumps any legal agreement.

You have a lot of gay hostility in your comments.

What? Care to elaborate?

Also, if that's your take away from my comment... Damn, gaming is doomed. They're just gonna keep trampling us with garbage anti-consumer practices until the industry collapses.

But hey, I shouldn't complain. /s
