Breaking News you say
Issues I can think of in the order they occur to me. These are off the top of my head refections not researched.
-
Group think: If I shop where most other people shop I have outsourced research and decision making. Is there a good reason? maybe, maybe not but I'm going to follow the masses because I can't research everything.
-
Stability: neither store offers physical assets so if the store shuts down my purchases could also vanish. Steam is a bigger player and appears to be more stable and GOG is DRM free.
3 The shopping experience: I personally find the layout of steam better for discovery and finding reviews. With the current epic coupon available I have looked on epic for games and if you're just browsing it is not a intuitive experience. GOG similarly has a variety of sorting tools available.
- private vs public ownership: Epic is a public for profit company. Over and over I have seen public companies screw there customers in the interest of profit. Valve (I believe, this is really off the top of my head) is privately held and as such can choose to prioritize whatever their leadership wants. They can't just be bought out and taken in a totally different direction.
This all could be insane ramblings but these are the things that motivate me to spend my money on Gog or steam in general.
I've been eyeing deep rock galactic for awhile. I chose 4 kids and no money many years ago and have been living that ever since, but I do have quite a backlog so if it means more to someone else give it to them. Merry Christmas thanks for the cheer either way.
if it makes you happy I am happy for you. You did a good job
This is not a story about a company failing because they hid product capabilities from their customers and were underappreciated because people didn't realize how good their product was. This is a story of a company over promising in their marketing and failing to deliver.
I stand by what I said in the context of this story, which is what we are discussing. if you don't know if you can deliver a feature don't put it out there that you're trying to make the feature. If customers know you're working on something and then you can't deliver they feel like they lost that thing. If they don't know that you're working on it and you pull it out of the hat before lunch or even in a post launch update everyone is excited because they feel like they got something extra for free. Obviously on launch you should explain the full capabilities of your product. But again that is not the context of this story.
Under promise, over deliver. The other way around only works if you're trying to capitalize on hype.
anyone else see Spaceballs?
He still does the cortex podcast. He also works on there product development and has taken on the role of managing their logistics.
Chief Logistics officer was the title Mike pronounced on him, but he's more of an inventory control wizard.
The Kleenex of natural satellites if you will.
as a parent of high schoolers myself, I will come across other parents who will say that they tell their kids to enjoy high school because it's going to be the greatest days of their life. I disagree greatly with this perspective, but I think this type of person is who class reunions are for. I did not particularly enjoy high school so I am not seeking to relieve those days and would not go.
