Err? Don't this guy know that DotA 2 exists? or at least Counter Strike Global Offensive? Even now, TF2 still is relevant. The game has around 40-70k players per month.

A few years ago, I took this test. It was flipped upside down. I was a bit authoritarian.

@KungfuKitten: They probably based it on a plague doctor outfit.

Tencent launches early access WeGame X storefront internationally from Gamasutra

Tencent has followed through on its earlier plans to launch its digital PC game store WeGame internationally.

It’s a launch that comes as the conversation about competition between PC storefronts, particularly in regards to Steam and the Epic Games Store, is reaching new heights, though Tencent's entry, WeGame X, isn't a full launch quite yet.

On the English version of the WeGameX website (accessed from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner), Tencent notes that the 0.0.1 version up for download is an early access release.

According to a comment given to the website Abacus, the international WeGame X platform is “a product WeGame is testing to serve its global users” and the company hopes that, down the line, it will help to “bring more Chinese games overseas to cater to multiple gamer demographics.”

Tencent first announced plans to launch WeGame outside of China last summer, but had been quiet on that front since. Even still, the international release that popped up this month is notably an early access launch and still limited in features and catalog.

Currently, the store features 17 games, though not all up for sale have been localized for WeGame X’s international markets. The website also lists game-makers Deep Silver, Larian Studios, and Hello Games as “famous IP” that look to have games coming to the platform, and, later on down the page, offers an email address developers can contact for more information on the platform’s offerings.

Chinese gaming giant Tencent is rebranding its digital store as 'WeGame' from PC Gamer

Could a showdown with Steam be in the offing?

Chinese gaming company Tencent isn't as well known in North America as it is in, say, China. But it is a huge player in the business—one of the biggest in the world, in fact. It owns League of Legends studio Riot Games and mobile game company Supercell, and it has holdings in Epic, Activision Blizzard, Robot Entertainment, Glu Mobile, and others. Its total revenues for the 2016 fiscal year were $22 billion dollars.

That's why it was a pretty big deal when Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad said on Twitter earlier this week that the company is preparing to rebrand its Tencent Gaming Platform—"basically Tencent's version of Steam," as he put it—to "WeGame," with "support for both Chinese and Global users." The obvious implication was that Tencent is gearing up for a move into the global marketplace, and by extension a showdown with Western digital big dog Steam—a fight it has the financial muscle to win.

Looks like Tencent will rebrand its 'Tencent Games Platform' to 'WeGame'.
It's basically Tencent's version of Steam.

So it seems it will support both Chinese and Global users.

Niko Partners later clarified in a statement sent to VentureBeat that the information wasn't entirely accurate, as Ahmad's information "came from a slide he saw on Tencent's Chinese website, which did not state global expansion of WeGame as part of the rebranding." That's not to say it won't happen, but the actual announcement of the change (and, hopefully, Tencent's longer-term plans for the platform) won't be made until tomorrow.

Ahmad told Motherboard more recently that he actually doesn't think Tencent will try to compete with Steam outside of China at this point: "Right now, Tencent is focusing on growing the platform in China and bringing as many games, both local and foreign, to Chinese gamers," he said. But if it does make a meaningful move to broaden its reach with WeGame, it could have a huge impact. This Gamaustra blog post demonstrates how the Chinese market is both massive and, from the perspective of Western developers, largely untapped. That, coupled with its significant reach advantage over Steam in China, means Tencent could quickly approach equal footing in the global market, and that's when things will get interesting.

The full WeGame announcement is scheduled to be made tomorrow. We'll update when it's out.

FYI, Tencent owns 48.4% of Epic. This might be a hostile take over then merge with EGS and WeGame.

I got Steam, Galaxy, Origin and uPlay installed.

Steam is regularly used and I'm very satisfied with it. GOG's Galaxy was only 'beta tested' and never run with it not that I had problems with (GOG games are directly downloaded on their website). EA's Origin is rarely run (only if there was a giveaway game) and uPlay is regularly used as well because I sometimes play The Division 1 and Rainbow 6 Siege) while my cousin always play those 2 games regularly on my pc. Epic Launcher was so meh and lackluster but that was when UT was playable alpha and Fortnite was NOT yet in development. Rockstar's Social Club was uninstalled after I finished and uninstall Max Payne 3.

P. S. My Epic Launcher and UT was previously installed on my dead hard disk.

This is the most ridiculous claim ever. At least coming from a South East Asian. Before Steam came, game prices in the Philippines were 3x to 4x. And most resulted to piracy. Heck, even my rich console gamer friends go to bootleg shops to modify their consoles so that the can play their pirated cds and dvds. They only bought legit games they really like, like those FFVII, MGS and their basketball games.

I played this game on snes a few times before. I remember choosing the coughing weak looking guy with katana/long sword.

They should had changed the art style of the sceneries. BL3 is expected to be on a different planet since there should be no more vaults on the current planet according to BL 2 ending.

The game's graphics was way outdated during the time it was released but it didn't stop me and my brothers from playing it. One of them is still playing it till now with mods of course.

Played the first game. And enjoyed the heck out of it (I got it free Btw).
