New info from the Epic v Google trial shows that in 2018, Google had floated the idea of teaming up with Tencent to buy full 100% ownership of Epic Games.

    That might be the grossest headline I’ve ever seen.

      If Epic ever takes away the free games on their platform then be the day I will have no games on the platform and no reason to keep it.

      I buy all my games on Steam and get free games on Epic.

    I know Epic gets a lot of hate, but this is definitely a possible worst case outcome. Hopefully anything but this happens instead.

    When your game of choice is proprietary it is part of a big, copyright trading card game.
