Why do some players prefer to buy games at the original price on Steam rather than at a discount on Epic?

In the past, PC-side game platforms were all G fat? Steam? Signs of dominating the world, but with rotten orange, Epic, Battle.net, Uplay and Wegme joining the PC-side game mall, PC-side game stores have shown signs of dominating. Each game platform has its own representative game, which makes players want to stop and can only attack on multiple platforms.

For players who want to play battlefield series and EA series, the origin platform is essential; Call of Duty series, StarCraft and World of Warcraft, you must have an Internet cafe. "Assassin's Creed" You must make a potato server platform Uplay；; Steam and Epic are more like department stores. Besides exclusive games, you can buy all kinds of games. As for why I didn't say Wegame, you know.

As the largest game platform at present, Steam has a large number of games for players to choose from, and Steam also sends out various small games from time to time for everyone to enjoy and enrich the game library. With Tencent's blessing, challenger Epic has sufficient capital as the backing. Recently, in order to attract players to enter the Epic platform, it started with the GTA5 of Baipio, and gave away various 3A masterpieces such as No Man's Land and Ark for free.

Epic hopes to win back gamers monopolized by Steam by giving away games and discounting tactics, and this wave of white floating policy is also fruitful. According to statistics, the monthly active users of Epic have exceeded 60 million. The law of true fragrance is also unfavorable in the game world.

In the face of cross-platform masterpieces, why do players choose expensive Steam instead of cheap Epic?

In principle, for players, cross-platform 3A masterpieces, on the two platforms of Steam and Epic, who is cheaper is more pleasing. However, why are there still many players who would rather buy the game at the original price on Steam than discount it on Epic?

Embarrassed Wang takes "A handful of dollars 2" as an example to analyze. I think this will happen, and the high probability is due to the following situations:

First, the information is not equal. Epic platform is still a comparison with Steam platform? Niche? Because of the network, the previous Epic platform was basically used in China. Most players only know the Steam platform, but not Epic, so the information inequality caused the above situation. Reason 2: Steam is used a lot, and the good friends of the game are all on Steam. They have used it for a long time, and many things in it are unwilling to change. If a cross-platform game is changed to a new platform, two platforms need to be downloaded and installed, and it is very troublesome to change the number back and forth. Moreover, the new platform must start from scratch. For the sake of good friends, you don't mind spending a little more money. Third, patients with multi-platform aversion. Just like the embarrassed king, I am a multi-platform aversion patient and often don't change platforms for a discounted game. However, the embarrassing king was recently grinded by Epic. Bai Piao's GTA5, Ark and Emma in No Man's Land are really delicious. Now I have also started a multi-platform strategy. It's not a question of money (it's a question of money). The main reason is that games with white drift are not put into storage, and I always feel that I have lost hundreds of millions.

So to sum up, the king thinks that after Epic sends the game to the cultivation market, players will probably go there to play cheaply in the future. Finally, the question is, does your wallet support you to buy games at a high price? Let's talk together!
