Sweeney is the man-child, unequivocally. He’s done things simply to oppose what Valve does, like making the EGS a safe haven for AI and blockchain shovelware games, outright rejecting Linux support for Fortnite (even though there is no technological barrier), and removing Rocket League from Steam. (not an exhaustive list, just to illustrate)
I wouldn’t say a single bad thing about Sam Lake. He is cursed with limitless creativity in a hostile ecosystem.
It sounds like Tim Sweeney is making decisions motivated by money, not necessarily out of childishness. I think there’s a difference. I probably agree that they’re shitty decisions for consumers, but it’s pretty clear what his motives are.
Also, Sam Lake is not the CEO of Remedy. I had to go look it up. It’s someone named Tero Virtala who I’ve never heard of.
