God damnit sweeny. You have had a visit from the ghost of Christmas past or something?
Don’t make me agree with you.
Eh? I think they’re trying to prevent Musk from becoming an AI god.
More like some kind of sad joke/curse god that thinks its all knowing but really sources all its knowledge from reddit meme threads.
The “All-Knowing” Know-It-All, less rare than you’d think.
Epic got so much bullshit for - reads annotation - making platform exclusives that were only temporary and helped developers with stable financing with better terms.
They didn’t even make things exclusive
There were no clauses saying you couldn’t release on mac/linux/ps/xbox/switch
They just only carry games for the Windows platform. They did buy EAC and make a Linux version as well as gave all devs the ability to implement crossplay regardless of engine
Beyond a bit of annoyance about Borderlands 3 being temporarily exclusive, I think the only thing I minded about Epic Games Store was a lack of user reviews, but there’s the metacritic embed now so I’m not sure was the issue should be.
G*mers are too Stockholmed by Valve’s monopoly.
Introduction the Epic store to gamers was like introducing vegetables to meth addicts
They ain’t pretending.
Yeah, they may retain a different self-image, but their actions & goals are in line with Republican ideology.
One of the only CEOs speaking truth.
Well Tim you went from a -10 in my books to a -8 with this. Keep it up.
Yeah, I believe the word you’re looking for is capitalism. Unbridled late stage capitalism.
If only they can focus on making good games instead
zzt was pretty rad
Emphasis on games, plural. Make something other than Fortnite!
Have you played it recently? It’s not a single game anymore but basically a launcher containing many games of all kinds - quite a few of them from Epic. You may absolutely hate battle royale but find Rocket Racing or Lego Fortnite very enjoyable and different from Fortnite Battle Royale.
other than all the spinoff titles you do realize that Fortnite is a platform right?
Ffs trump and his lackeys making even Sweeney look good
He’s also swimming in Chinese money, so this might not be a purely altruistic statement.
Yeah, I don’t recall ever reading a Tim Sweeney quote and thinking, “that sounds about right.”
Likewise, I now feel like I need to scrub clean my soul.
I don’t think he’s able to afford to kiss the ring, otherwise he would.
Why wouldn’t he be? Sweeney is a billionaire, richer than Tim Cook even.
Isn’t that company at risk of bankruptcy?
Not at all, as far as I know. They’re making massive bank with Fortnite and they’re developing the engine used by >50% of modern AAA games.
I think I’m thinking of Ubisoft actually. My b
I’m just sitting here fingers crossed that Gabe doesn’t “donate” to the orange dipshit…
Won’t happen.
trump has opened the portal to Bizzaro World
Thanks Capt. Obvious.
Some people need it mister
That’s rich coming from Tim Sweeney, but hey for once he accidently spoke the truth
The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point
You know what they say about broken clocks.
For the first time in my life I’m actually agreeing with Tim Sweeney. I hate the guy but at least he has the balls to say it like it is. The rest of them are just cowards.
heartbreaking: worst person you know made a great point
I’m sorry but if someone is pretending to be a Republican
to gain favor with Trump, skirt antitrust laws, and ultimately ‘rip off consumers and crush competitors’
doesn’t that just make them… a Republican?
Right? I feel like almost every ‘Republican’ is just an opportunist that likes to cherry pick the things Republicans supposedly stand for these days. I think any people out there who can say that they wholeheartedly agree with every talking point on the Republican agenda (the ones that don’t shift constantly) then they are horrible, horrible, terrible soulless excuses for human beings.

Saammee. He’s an endless stream of bad takes, but I find myself in agreement with this
If you have to pretend to be bad to get your own way, maybe you are in fact bad after all?
They’re not pretending to be bad, they’re pretending to care about what the Republicans care about. They’re very openly bad people
So basically the morality of an opportunistic infection
So… Republican.
The Democratic Party too is a big tent
Oh yay what about the other guys.
There’s no other guys if you are simply talking about wealthy opportunists. It’s the same orgy just some people are wearing masks.
The point is none of the plebs are being represented and they’re all online fighting each other
Doesn’t that just make them republicans?
