Ke piʻi nei ka hakakā ma waena o Steam a me ka Epic Games Store i kēlā me kēia pule: Hoʻolaha ka hui ʻo Tim Sweeney i kahi kuʻikahi kūʻokoʻa ma hope o kekahi (ʻo ka hoʻolaha kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe e pili ana iā Borderlands 3), a pinepine nā mea hoʻolaha a me nā mea hoʻomohala e hōʻole e hui pū me Valve ma hope o ka papahana. ʻike ʻia ka ʻaoʻao ma kāna hale kūʻai. ʻAʻole hauʻoli ka hapa nui o nā mea pāʻani e ʻōlelo nei ma ka pūnaewele e pili ana i ia hoʻokūkū, akā manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo Richard Geldreich, limahana mua ʻo Valve e hana pono ana nā Epic Games i nā mea āpau.
Ua hana ʻo Geldrich ma Valve ma ke ʻano he ʻenekini polokalamu mai 2009 a 2014. He lima kona ma Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Portal 2, Dota 2, a me nā mana Linux o Left 4 Dead a me Team Fortress 2. Ma mua, ua hana ʻo ia ma kahi kūlana like ma Ensemble Studios, i pani ʻia ma 2009, ma Age of Empires III and Halo Wars , a ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o Valve i kahi hana ma Unity Technologies.
Ua hōʻike ka limahana mua i kona manaʻo i ka wā o ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa i hoʻomaka me ka tweet a Sweeney. Ua paʻi ke poʻo o ka hui i kahi loulou i kahi ʻatikala a USgamer, ka mea kākau i kapa ʻia i ka poʻe e hoʻopiʻi nei i nā Epic Games no ka hoʻoili ʻana i ka ʻikepili o nā mea hoʻohana hale kūʻai i ke aupuni Kina "paranoid a xenophobic." Ua hoʻomaka nā mea hoʻohana ʻē aʻe i ka pane ʻana i ka luna hoʻokō (me Geldrich, nāna i wehewehe i ke kūlana me nā hoʻopiʻi kiu he "pupule"), a ua neʻe ke kamaʻilio ʻana i ke kumuhana o nā hopena o nā hana Epic Games no ka ʻoihana.
"ʻO nā pāʻani Epic a pau i lawe ʻia, lawe i nā papahana āpau," i kākau ai ka mea haku mele a me ka mea hoʻolālā ʻo TheDORIANGRAE, e ʻōlelo ana iā Sweeney. "Ke pepehi nei ʻoe i ka ʻoihana pāʻani kamepiula." "Ua pepehi ʻo Steam i ka ʻoihana pāʻani wikiō," wahi a Geldrich. - He 30% ʻauhau e pili ana i nā [mea hoʻomohala a me nā mea hoʻopuka] ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻomanawanui. ʻAʻole ʻoe i ʻike i ka waiwai o Steam no Valve. He paʻi paʻi kiʻi wale nō. Ua hōʻino ʻo ia i ka hui. Ke hoʻoponopono nei ʻo Epic Games i kēia manawa. "
Wahi a ka mea papahana, ʻo ka hapa nui o kēia mau hōʻemi 30 pakeneka i hele i "kahi helu liʻiliʻi o ka poʻe i mālama ʻole i ka ʻoihana a me nā kūlana hana." Hāʻawi ʻo Epic Games i nā "kūlana kūpono" i nā mea hoʻomohala, a ʻo ia ke kumu i loaʻa koke ai ka hui i nā hoa he nui.
"ʻAe, ʻo Steam ka mea mua," hoʻomau ʻo ia. - Pela i ka mea? I kēlā manawa, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka 30% royalties ma mua o 50% i ka wā e hoʻokuʻu ai i nā pāʻani ma ke kūʻai aku. Akā i kēia manawa he mea lapuwale ia mau kūlana, hoʻokaumaha lākou i nā mea hoʻomohala. Me kēia ʻano, hōʻino ʻo Valve i kāna mau hoa a me nā limahana. ʻAʻole mahalo ʻo ia iā lākou."
"Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei nā mea pāʻani he kahua kūikawā ka PC i pale ʻole i nā loli i ka mākeke," wahi āna. - He hewa kēia. No ka manawa lōʻihi, ua hoʻohana ʻia e kahi hale kūʻai kuko, a ua maʻa nā mea pāʻani. Akā ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻololi. ʻOiai inā hāʻule ka hale kūʻai Epic Games, e ʻike ʻia kahi kahua ʻē aʻe. […] Ke nalo nei nā mea pāʻani i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua loli ka ʻoihana pāʻani-nui a hiki ʻole ke hoʻihoʻi ʻia. He mea maʻamau ka hoʻokūkū kūʻai kūʻokoʻa a me nā hale kūʻai kikohoʻe ma PC. Pono kēia no ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻāpana a noho mau. "
Wahi a Geldrich, e hoʻomau nā mea pāʻani i ka leo ʻole i ka wā e hoʻomau nei nā pāʻani Epic e hana i nā kuʻikahi no "kekahi makahiki a ʻoi aku paha." E lilo ʻo Steam i puʻuhonua no "nā studio indie a me nā ʻoihana papa lua," ʻoiai e ʻike mua ʻia nā papahana kālā nui ma ka Epic Games Store a me nā hale kūʻai ʻē aʻe. Eia naʻe, ʻae ʻo ia ʻaʻole nui nā hiʻohiʻona nui o ka Epic Games platform i kēia manawa. Eia naʻe, ua hilinaʻi ʻo ia e "lohe maikaʻi ka ʻoihana i kāna mea hoʻohana" a ma hope a i ʻole e lilo ka lawelawe i ʻoi aku ka hewa ma mua o Steam ma ke ʻano o ka hana. "ʻO kēia negativity āpau e pili ana i nā mea kūʻokoʻa ʻaʻole e uku nui iā lākou - malia paha 5-10% o ke kūʻai aku," i ʻōlelo ai ka mea papahana.
"He mea maikaʻi loa inā loaʻa kahi koho piha i Steam i kekahi lā," i kākau ai ʻo ia. "ʻAʻole ʻepekema nui ka hana ʻana i kahi hale kūʻai kikohoʻe: pono ʻoe e kope i nā hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa o Steam."
Aneane ʻaʻole i kākoʻo kekahi o nā mea kūkākūkā iā Geldrich, a ua kapa ʻia ʻo TheDORIANGRAE iā ia "he limahana ex-Valve huhū wale nō e ʻimi nei i nā pahuhopu pilikino."
I Malaki, ua ʻōlelo ka luna hoʻomohala pāʻoihana ʻo Epic Games Store ʻo Joe Krener e "hoʻoikaika ka ʻoihana e pale" i nā kuʻikahi hope me nā mea hoʻomohala a me nā mea hoʻopuka e hoʻopau ai i nā pāʻani mai Steam ma mua o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana (e like me ka Metro Exodus). . Akā ua wehewehe ʻo Sweeney i ka pule i hala ʻaʻole e hōʻole ka hui i kēlā mau ʻaelike inā e ʻae ka ʻaoʻao i ke kuleana.
