UNIVERSAL OWNERSHIP: Epic Game Store and GOG

>"Ultimately, ownership of digital items should be a universal notion, independent of stores and platforms. So much of the digital world today is frustrated by powerful intermediaries whose toll booths obstruct open commerce to keep customers and their purchases locked in," Sweeney said on Twitter.
Is Sweeney dare I say, based?

steam anime trannies will somehow shit on this.

>people applaud the chinese spyware is now in more launchers

clown world

HOMOSEXUAL

>cia trying once again to consolidate all info into one spot
yeah nah man

I can't. It's a smart move by Epic. They can't design a storefront to save their lives, so they're just gonna let GOG handle it.

Doesn't matter, Epic is still paying for exclusives that you're unable to get on GoG. the only difference is that now you can press a button on your launcher to launch games you bought from another launcher.
until GoG integration means that I can buy "epic exclusives" on GoG then it's not really integration, just aggregation of launch game buttons

These companies don't give a shit about you. They are only doing this for money. Kinda funny only the companies not in first pull this kind of crap. Just like how Microsoft was the closed off platform until the PS4 blew them the fuck out, and now they are all pro consumer platform.

Are Epic games DRM free now?
If it has DRM you don't own it.

Redpill me on how this works.
Wouldn't you still need to download the Epic Games Launcher, Steam etc. to connect your games to GOG 2.0? Isn't this essentially just a UI that opens the appropriate launcher software to open the game, meaning you still have to have Epic Games Store/Launcher installed even if you use GOG Galaxy 2 to open the game from your Epic Games account?

coming from the person paying developers to make their games less available unless they're buying on his platform lmao

Aren't they removing Rocket League from Steam? Didn't they buy up exclusive that also aren't available on GOG?

Yes, the whole point of this is to fuck with Steam though.

Sweeney has been pissed for well over a decade that Valve refused to cut them a better deal than 70/30 on Steam. So he is willing to do things with no tangible benefit to his company, even if it costs him money, to fuck with Valve.

Backhanded, nice.

That's what GOG galaxy does now, so I think this would make it so you wouldn't need the epic store application, and could shop, download and play on galaxy alone

yeah, only an idiot would disagree with that
but I don't see why he's pretending to take that side of the argument when he owns yet another gated DRM storefront and pays off publishers so his store has exclusive sale rights for their games

>UNIVERSAL OWNERSHIP
>Removes Rocket League from Steam
Okay then

Completely true. However, Sweeney is still a Chinese shill and wants your freedoms erased and his boots licked.

It's all him trying to piss and tell us it's raining.

>Being mad about the truth
Okay I guess

Before Steam I owned all PC games I bought.
Since Steam I own a "subscription".
Explain how Epic erases any freedoms I haven't already lost when I installed Steam..

You still need to have EGS running to make this shit work

Correct. GOG Galaxy is completely redundant and serves no real purpose except for weirdos who want a launcher on top of their launcher.

>Didn't they buy up exclusive that also aren't available on GOG?
Yeah. Phoenix Point in particular.

NOBODY is using EGS as their main platform. They have NO userbase. Their userbase is people claiming free games and playing exclusives, that's it.
Valve realised you have to actually provide a better service to maintain users. It's already over for EGS, they're burning money and failing on user retention

Tim is taking all the work GOG did and pretending he's doing it to save us all from the big baddies
If Tim ACTUALLY gave a shit about universal ownership, we'd be able to download EGS games through GOG without needing the EGS client, and yet here we are

>Phoenix Point
Julian Gollop is such a fucking snake for taking that deal.

He is literally setting up the toll booths

GOG Connect has been a thing for a while and is way better than this shitty store integration bullshit.

If Tim actually walked the walk and got Valve to allow EGS purchases be redeemable on Steam (and vice versa) he would have done a great thing. As it stands now he's just talking shit to feed his ego.

The funny thing is that it came out on Xbox Game Pass a few months after its EGS launch (same with Mechwarrior 5). So "Epic exclusive" just means "not on Steam or GOG". Also the game is mediocre as fuck and nu-XCOM, for all its faults, curb stomps it.

Chinese botnet

Don't respond to people responding to me. They'll think I have shit reading comprehension.

>GOG Connect has been a thing for a while and is way better than this shitty store integration bullshit.
that shit never works

Epic has no gaems kek why would I ever use their chinese shit launcher

But you still need the Epic launcher to play your games so what's the fucking point?
You can also launch your Steam or Origin library from GOG Galaxy, launchbox or whatever.

Great! I'm still pirating every GoG game though.

>NO ELIGIBLE GAMES FOUND
>Stay tuned for more games joining GOG Connect.

Don't really care. I shop only from GOG since they are a European company that abides by European laws.

GOG Connect has been dead for awhile, but it worked great for me when it was still active. I got like 50 free GOG games from it.

Don't post on Zig Forums. Shills aren't welcome here.

>The eligible games are limited-time offers made possible by participating developers and publishers
Retard.
