          The liberals have made this country great in the past five years. Debt is at an all time low, education is the best it's ever been, wealth in-equality is not a problem, the broadband is amazing, we're making scientific breakthroughs in research, income tax is low, property prices are stable, unemployment is the lowest it's ever been…etc

          I didn't receive an email or a call that my order was cancelled. I had to manually call in to ask and now they've just been redirecting me to different departments because my refund hasn't come through when it should've a week ago.

          Voluntarily offering money back if you overpaid before the sale (see below).
          How very unethical and bad! We won't mention that Steam needed to be threatened by a court to even offer the possibility of a refund.
          And remind me again how I can access Steam's "refund the difference" policy?

          The prices they offer in this sale are great and so is their attitude refunding a price difference due to the sale!

            @Lysander: I didn't say steam was the best company out there. They have their flaws but if we were to decide who the greater evil is, then Epic games is.

            Want to comment on how they stole user data from steam files? How they created insane cash incentives to poach game developers in order to boost their platform?

              @Ghosteye: The latter would be a norm. I mean really, they're trying to take on steam. What else do you expect?

                @justtoreply: Steam literally called them out on it and Tim Sweeney literally admitted it.

                As for the other one, I understand that Steam takes a massive cut for selling games, which was pretty scummy of them to do. And yeah now that I think of it that was a pretty moot point.

                Another thing that I would like to point out is the state of the Epic EULA though. It's pretty bad

                https://www.techspot.com/news/78027-tim-sweeney-corrects-mis…

            • Lysander on 17/05/2019 - 19:14

              @Ghosteye: Sony? Facebook? Instagram? Google? Do you really think they are not more evil?

              Mate, when somebody offers you 50K more a year to come and work for them to help start their business, will you say no and stay with your current employer? Probably not. So, how come it is OK if you maximise your worth but not okay for those developers?

              Why do you think taking a 30% cut is not greedy and is OK? Do you want the developers to continue making great games or do you want Steam to continue to make $5 billion+ a year profit for doing very little compared to the game developers?

              And justtoreply is right: how do you know all of those things? Myths, rumours, and the Chinese data leak has been disproven.

              Have you read Steam's EULA? As a legal professional I can tell you in respect of EULAs Steam and Epic and every other software company are just as bad as each other. They want to maximise their profit and give you as few rights as possible.
              In fact, many smaller companies in Australia in this area are even worse - I was involved in a case where a business had to repurchase a serial key to the software they already bought every time they had to do a reinstall or replaced a computer pat - every time hundreds of dollars for serial key which changed dynamically depending on PC components (every time the serial was different and the old one did not work). That is just a tiny little example of what they put in their EULAs. Of course, not legal but if not taken to court they can hold their purchasers hostage.

        I mean it's worth mentioning the prices are still in USD, which means these "deals" are at a all time terrible price for us, why is it a deal again?

        • Vool on 17/05/2019 - 13:44

          Because some of those games are only available on the Epic store, so they cost more when not discounted…

      • fLaMePrO on 17/05/2019 - 15:56

        I'm sorry but how is this fanboism? Epic have some extremely concerning business practices, and it is prudent to call them out on it.

        Want to support a company that can't even implement a freaking email verification step on account creation? Go for it. But don't blind yourself to facts by calling it fanboism.

        I think its fair to warn people of a company with a good deal but not a good business. I understand that this is a deal platform but legitimate warnings getting scoffed at creates a bad discussion focused just on price and not quality. I think a good deal is both good price and quality. Just focusing on price is terrible.

        • Lysander on 17/05/2019 - 19:05
          +2

          But then be fair and keep in mind that Steam had to be FORCED to implement many of the features they are now applauded for, such as the refund.
          They did not do any of it voluntarily.
          This whole discussion is really pretty stupid - for gamers (consumers) there are no adverse consequences, only possibly lower prices.
          For developers it is advantageous as they can make more money and invest in making more/better games.
          The only people losing a portion of their enormous profits are Steam.
          I think it is double-faced to single out Epic as the only company being possibly unethical. Steam is not better and neither are all the other companies people happily by products from such as Apple, IBM/Lenovo, Acer etc.
          The fact that Epic is singled out and all of Steam's very bad sides are ignored makes this fanboism, not a meaningful objection.

              My original comment still stands: this is deal thread, not a thread to discuss this. And even if we discuss this, one has to be fair and unfortunately that is not the case with the arguments as somehow Epic is villified and Steam is glorified, for no good objective reasons.

            @Lysander: @Lysander YES steam was FORCED to implement many of the features they are applauded for including the refund system, so Why in hell's name should we go through the same BS to get those basic features implemented in the EPIC store or another store for that matter day one. Not all features of steam need to be implemented, just the basic ones: regional pricing, refund, shopping cart, search games, security and may be a wishlist. Rather than talking about how we move forward, you saying: Oh boo hoo EPIC getting a lot of flak for not having those steam features but remember the time when steam didnt have that….if you dont see it this way your a fanboy….where's the damn sense in that? Do you have proof that this enormous loss in profit due to steam will be better used for other game development and not fill the publishers pocket? Link the proof to your reply of you're going to make one. (Dont mind Indie developers doing it). But no we should completely support EPIC for their exclusivity BS, lack lustre store and Tim Sweeney's BS every time he talks on twitter because " DONT FORGET THE REVENUE SPLIT GUYS dduuudhhh" Pfft weak thinking.

              @darkoverlord: Do you really think Gabe Newell is any better than Sweeney?
              Epic voluntarily implements features Steam refused to do until forced.
              Where is Steam's refund the difference feature? Done voluntarily by Epic.
              All those features will come to store - Steam needed years to become what it is today and yet you seem to demand Epic needs to do it faster? Why?
              Please tell me honestly: if you spent two or three years making a game and then had to choose between keeping 88% of your sales or 70% of your sales, what would you choose?
              Remember, the incremental lowering of fees by Steam was a direct result of Epic competition - how is that bad?
              Look, I understand you don't like exclusivity but did you tell people how bad Steam was or is for forcing people to use Steam to play Half Life or blast Microsoft/Sony for the exclusivity on consoles? If you were fair you would do that as there is no difference?
              All Steam needs to do is to lower their fees to 10% and remove the incentive for publishers to do exclusivity deals.
              I think if this sale is an indication of what's to come I am happy as it signals great prices.

              As someone on Reddit said:
              "I am not one of those people who get an existential crisis merely because I have to click on a different icon on my destop to play a game."

              All the hate against the Epic store is meaningless anyway - the Epic store is here to stay.

              With that goodnight and a happy weekend.

              • darkoverlord on 18/05/2019 - 11:52

                @Lysander: @Lysander Couple of points to note:

                "All Steam needs to do is to lower their fees to 10% and remove the incentive for publishers to do exclusivity deals"

                • This is never gonna happen both on Steam side and Epic's side. Steam is never gonna lower their fees to 10%, they been doing the 30% to indie devs and 20% to major AAA pubs for years and just because EPIC just jumped into the mix, they'd be pressured to do so. They're a business not a charity. Tim Sweeney is just a straight up con man and if u followed his tweets since the store launch he says something and does another a couple of weeks down the track for example the whole metro exodus saga not happening again and then he does a 180 and says its upto the publishers to decide and epic will support their decision (Right the publishers wont take free money and always think of the game's fan base, brings tears to my eyes). That tweet that Epic would stop the exclusivity deal if steam matches their devs split is just horseshit as Tim knows steam wont go down that path nor will he keep his side of the deal if they do so.

                Blast microsoft/sony for exclusivity on consoles?

                • Mate, are you serious? First party exclusives on those consoles are 100% funded by the platform creator so why the hell would they host their products on the competitor's platform. The few AAA exclusivity deals just content gates a part of the content for a max of 1 month so far and the community did shit on them for doing that. EPIC just offers money to a publisher/developer who have a finished product aka complete content gating for 6-12 months/ indefinitely.

                As someone on Reddit said: "I am not one of those people who get an existential crisis merely because I have to click on a different icon on my destop to play a game."

                • And as Naive as that the reddit user sounds, You seem sorely misinformed/ignorant of the situation and just going of what the epic store sympathizers lists out. It still amazes me there are people who support half baked releases whether it's a game or a store front because some other game or store front had those issues 5-6 years in the past lol. For a company that could build a battle royale mode from a base game (fortnite) in less than 6 months but cant deliver on those features I mentioned earlier at release, just makes the situation sounds more of a joke.

                I don't mind people who don't give a damn and just use the launcher blindly but advocating the EPIC store to others with baseless reasons however deserves some criticism. Personally I would be inclined to use the store had, it had those features at launch and brought proper competition via competitive prices rather than force the customer to purchase a product on their store which btw only recently got a search bar added to their store.

                Whether Epic store dissolves or stay, makes no difference to me. Its the way they are negatively impacting the PC playerbases with their policies, is what stands out as a big issue. Have a good day.

      From the FAQ:

      I pre-purchased a game before the start of the Epic Mega Sale and that game hasn’t launched yet. Should I cancel my pre-purchase and then buy it again to take advantage of the $10 discount?

      No, you don’t have to! Every player who pre-purchased an unreleased game in the Epic Games store prior to May 16th, 2019 for $14.99 and above will receive a $10 refund! You will receive your $10 refund automatically to the payment method you used in the next 7-12 days.

      What if I bought a game just before the Epic Mega Sale?

      For all game purchases between May 2nd, 2019 and May 15th, 2019 we will refund you the difference in price between what you paid and what you would have paid during the Epic Mega Sale (inclusive of the $10 off from Epic). You will receive your refund automatically to the payment method you used in the next 7-12 days.

        It actually happened to a friend of mine and he just found out now. His prices were different, trying to make a purchase gave him a wrong region error message, then he checked account details and found they had clearly been tampered with.
