Put every sellout publisher or studio on the list, and move on and pirate their shit.

Epic is so shitty it’s not even funny. What a fucked up business practice.

>>16698894

Add self censorship studios who actually listen to resetera on that list as well. They don't deserve your money as well.

>>16698886

That's extremely disappointing.

>game continues to sell poorly on PC (through the epic games store)

>companies wonder why, decide its best not to port to PC any longer cause “the audience just isnt there”

>>16698886

>I'm worried out of touch game companies are going exclusivity console again.

That may not be a bad thing in the long run. Mass abandonment of PC by developers might just be the thing needed to break the stagnation and monopoly on that platform. Besides if everything is going to the chinks then console would be a far better choice at that point anyway.

I myself pirate epic exclusives with zero remorse.

>>16698886

Is Tetris Effect actually good or is it just a meme VR game?

I've played it and it just seems like an inferior version of Tetris with pretty particle effects. The soundtrack was nice but, eh, I didn't feel like it had any replayability.

>>16698886

>somehow Epic fucked everything up

Who is the publisher, Ubishit? If so, don't get surprised. Besides, only complete retard would buy anything from Ubishit these days.

>>16698909

You're delusional if you think they ever do that again, especially now that console market is slowly dying. They know there is money on PC and they won't drop the market as easily, it would hurt their profits significantly if they willingly developed games only for consoles. Easy as fuck money as a matter of fact is the entire reason they are making this game Epic exclusive in the first place, if they weren't paid they would just release it on Steam and call it a day.

>>16698945

>especially now that console market is slowly dying.

>The PC market is also slowly dying.

>>16698943

I'm worried this is why bannerlord is taking so long, because they haven't fully ported to ps4, or are having issues making the pc version work after starting with the ps4 version for maximum shekels.

>Try to talk about how fucking stellar this game is on release, its only issue is no multiplayer

>Anons go into autistic rages because its only on PS4

>"come back when its on PC and then we can have a thread, check my dubs console faggot"

Monkeys paw bitch.

>>16698964

>EGS

<Just pirate it faggot

Very simple reply anon.

>>16698961

thats probably the reason why, same shit with KF2 and insurgency sandstorm, they had to put in more time and effort optomising the game for PS4 making the games come out a year or two after they where supposed to

>>16698945

The way exclusives work on pc is definitely the worst way in the industry. Console exclusives are bank rolled and given tremendous support during development. On PC Sweeny just pays for a port instead of getting new games developed.

>Tetris

wow who gives a shit?

Well.

Guess in piratin.

Sorry Mizuguchi

>>16698945

>Who is the publisher, Ubishit?

Nah, it's not Ubishit. far too polished, I played it at a VR arcade earlier.

>>16699094

i like tetris, i just dont like tetris with shitty effects all over my screen

>>16699107

Yeah man. I have spent a good amount of time trying to figure out how to say this without sounding prententious, but i cant.

Tetrid effect isnt for everyone, but if it clicks, it clicks and hard.

Its mod of a music/visual thing than straight tetris, which is why there is no multiplayer

>>16699120

It's the kind of game you need to play alone in a dark room.

>>16699100

It's not working, though. You'll notice that they haven't been shouting about what a success their little scheme has been, because it hasn't been a success. They're not doing well at all.

>shitty vr meme tetris

>when nullpomino exist

>when nullpomino works in 240hz

>When puyo tetris exists and shits all over you in terms of content and is on steam

I was about to ask how do you fuck up Tetris but then quickly remembered that ubishit mess.

>>16699218

>just tetris

Kill yourself nigger

>>16698886

>Now with Epic pissing everyone off, piracy is bound to make a comeback and I'm worried out of touch game companies are going exclusivity console again.

They don't really have much of an excuse because of Steam. I'd wager they'd lose less money from piracy than they do from paying Steam their required 30% Goyim Fee though. Still, the actual cost of distribution has to factor in there somewhere.

>>16699231

To be fair, for all the cancer steam is they don't do exclusives.

Sure, they don't exactly have to, but they aren't keeping devs from releasing elsewhere, including physical.

>>16699120

I just don't get it honestly. I love this guys work but why fucking Tetris? It's a game where you need to be strategic with and focus on. So why remake it as a trippy music oriented lsd trip? It's like water and oil.

ARRrgh tetris, yeah, this ma game, right here.

har har har har, i am going to get this piece of crap aRRRgh, i will get it two times, yeah, two times, har har har har

I will also sell my fridge to a rabbit and when i'm done with this, than we get the pasta.

>>16699231

Only real issues, before Gabe went and literally drilled a hole in his head was the relatively shitty requirements that were foisted on consumers and/or developers on alternative storefronts, and while some can make some level of sense, GOG cert comes to mind, some end up being rather obsurd.

Hell Valve's only ubiquitus because they fot the bright idea of deliberately easy to crack drm while going winkedy wink wonk shareholder, your games are totally safe.

Unfortunately now though it seems like a ton of people at valve have gone fucking retarded, in what I have to assume has to do with them DRILLING HOLES IN THEIR HEAD FOR CEREBERAL READING INSTEAD OF FUCKING FIXING THE STEAM CONTROLLER.

>>16699307

>shilling Tetris

This is a piracy thread. Can't shill what's free.

>>16699306

A version of Lumines already came to PC last year

>>16699231

>>destroyed physical PC gaming to the point that "physical" copies of PC games are literally just the game box with a Steam download code inside

That's the internet, unless you thought that while all technology steadily becomes better and more available magically internet connectivity will not advance beyond dial-ups

>CCP using a proxy to throw money at every dev stupid enough to take up their offer is good for the market diversity and free market competition

After you.

>tetris

>but with five trillion obnoxious shitty distracting visual effects

>bonus VR to melt your fucking eyeballs

<one of the best games on the PS4

At least Tetris 99 serves a purpose, being a tough, competitive Tetris that doesn't require you to invest your life to be able to play like The Grandmaster.

>>16699447

Actually, to be fair, it probably is one of the best games on the PS4 by virtue of Tetris always being at least tolerable, even on those $2 chink brick game devices, but that says more about the quality of other PS4 games than it does about the quality of Tetris Effect.

just pirate puyo puyo tetris on your machine of choice

>>16699231

The chinese are paying for exclusives. The side steps competition and turns it into a game of who can pay the most for exclusive games.

>>16699506

>Steam's not a monopoly because other companies can exist!!

If antitrust laws followed this logic, there would have never once been a single antitrust ruling in US history. I mean, there were competitors against Bell Telephone Company/Bell Electric! Hell, one of them actually filed the antitrust case in the first place!

>>16699521

How do we (I) turn the public opinion around so that the general sentiment behind China is "low quality; avoid"?

Is spamming liveleak videos really the answer? Even then I don't think normalfags can put 2 + 2 together to figure out that Chinks are wholly immoral and incapable of morality/human thought, and they'll just write it all off as "individual cases" a la the muslim epidemic in Europe

>>16699565

That's kind of the point. Since the view that all races are equal is so prevalent now, I don't think it's really possible to break through without breaking all of the races down at once. So if normalfags were to learn that races or groups of people as a whole can be immoral, it would be a massive shift, but it would be a shift all at once. I highly doubt that someone could argue that chinks are subhuman bugmen with no regard for their fellow men, but would turn around and defend niggers or spics. Jews are a separate question, though, since they aren't obvious in their actions. You won't find videos of groups of jews storming small businessfronts and stealing everything they can, or walking past the dead body of a child in the street en-masse.

any dev who goes to epic deserves to be bullied by piracy into leaving the pc market

>>16699231

Why do people keep trying to equate popularity with a company unironically throwing money at people for the sole purpose of forcing people to use your service? Why do people try to defend giving a company a kickback large enough to make any game profitable, removing the capacity for the market to tell them that they are fucking shit, not buying their game and sending them back to the workforce?

Reminder that when Phoenix Point got grabbed by Epic, Julian Gollop claimed that they could refund every single backer and still be in the black. They are no longer working under the pretense that making a good game would allow them to expand the studio and allow them to continue working on games, but that they have to release a game on a certain date to fulfill a contract that is lucrative enough to encourage someone to actually come out and inform people that their money is irrelevant at this point. It also warranted him coming out and talking about how his car is shit, for some reason. I assume the first thing he did with the chink kickback was to buy a car?

>>16699247

To envoke a sensation known as the tetris effect.

Thst wsdnt just a trippy name

>>16699302

That strip!

NOW WHERE COULD MY PIPE BE

>>16699602

>Also why the hell is the Humble store on there? >They sell steam keys, for one.

They sell Steam keys when developers sell Steam keys, you sideways mongoloid. They host downloads for hundreds of games.

Who cares about a single-player guideline Tetris game? They're boring as fuck. We already have Puyo Tetris. Anyway, let them drown in their own hubris for going with the chink store.

>>16699094

Guideline games are only good for multiplayer, which this game doesn't have. If it were a decent single-player game a la TGM series, I'd care. Hell, even Sakura puzzles seem more fun.

>>16699247

>It's a game where you need to be strategic with and focus on

You clearly haven't played much. Most people play on autopilot. You only have to pay attention if you're trying to play sanic fast (sprint), or maximize score (marathon, ultra) or lines sent (multiplayer).

>>16699447

>Tetris 99

>tough, competitive Tetris

How to win Tetris 99 101:

<stack up to columns 16-19, set attack type to attackers

<wait for retards to target you with easy KOs

<send 18 lines to every retard targeting you by clearing ONE SINGLE (system is so broken attack queue is capped at 12)

<play for a few secs til your garbage is dealt

<switch to easy KOs for a split second and clear a line. easy KO

<rinse and repeat

<for mid-game 4-wides are still awfully broken, otherwise just play normally

<for late-game you'll play indefinitely until either you or the other dude fucks up badly

The combo garbage blocking (terrible idea), delayed non-instant garbage, the 12 line garbage queue, and lenient garbage holes are just the cherry on top of the shit cake. It's virtually impossible to lose unless you're a noob or a retard.

>>16699633

Surely one company couldn't be so incompetent that they'd fuck up Tetris, right?

The only thing you can do is show evidence. Anyone who refuses to examine the evidence isn't worth convincing. Most normalfags are just cattle. The only time this hasn't been true is before civilization.
