This is just two big companies playing PR tactics.  This will be resolved.

It’s not a sinister monopolistic decision.

I’ve earned the right to joke with Zeke. Let me be real clear about that. I’ve earned the right to joke with Zeke.

Because gamers™ are equating a slightly feature barren storefront to the worst transgression that could be committed by anyone ever.

So you’re going to buy DARQ? It’s being brought up a lot as a benchmark of a dev doing the right thing (by some people’s rarefied standards) but if that doesn’t translate into sales and the game bombs, how is that better than taking an EGS deal with a healthy, guaranteed return?

Nice of you to quote the dev, but then recontextualise Epic’s very reasonable and straight forward response so as to make it seem more sinister. They are as free to conduct and curate their storefront as Unfold is to choose where to sell, and who to do business with. The free market has always been the platform, not…

I want to say that due to anonymity of the internet angry customers tend to blow more smoke out of their asses online. I’m not sure of too many horror stories of angry fans coming after developers, but there are sure a lot of stories about streamers getting swatted. The potential of things getting out of hand online…

For all the problems you might have with Epic Games, their store and the corporate entity behind it? The reality is that Steam needs competition if we want the market to flourish rather than to stagnate.

You are like a poster boy if the “They pissed of the wrong people, they pissed of gamers meme”. It would be funny if it wasnt so sad. “Fellow gamer” indeed!

it’s really easy to defend it when the alternative is siding with people like you

The Epic Game Store is the current cool thing to hate, in a similar way to Battlefront II on release or other similar games. Like those, it’s marred by a huge amount of misinformation and literally everything connected to the current object of the Two Minute Hate has to be attacked and taken in the worst possible…

What a monumentally stupid decision by Sony. One of the reasons the new Spidey take worked, besides the perfect casting of Tom Holland, was being part of the MCU. Sony benefited hugely from Marvel’s creative team, because they simply were not able to get theirs right and, based on what I’ve heard of Venom, still…

But women be lovin’ cat names, amirite??????

If I came home and found my ex-gfs sitting around drinking MY tea and my wife and daughter are missing, I’d probably first ask them what gives them the right to just take MY TEA.  You couldn’t ask first?  You knew that was the tea that I bought for myself for when I get stressed out, but you just went ahead and took…

I will in no way concede the beer. I’d put them behind San Diego, Chicago, Denver and Portland.

His take on beer as well, is wrong.

Go to the mall in Puyallup, Bothell, Lynwood, Federal Way or Redmond any weekend out of the year and you are guaranteed to see at least one family - Mom, Dad, 2.5 kids - all wearing matching 12 Fan jerseys. 

I’d rather spend all day hanging out at a Russell/Ciara Instagram shoot than meet ANY of these mulleted simpletons.

Seattle has the best food in the country? I think Michael needs to travel a bit.

The Seahawks only exist to prove that no place is perfect. I love living in the Northwest but these fans. Good God. They act like they are close friends with everyone on the roster. The team goes down 3-0 in the first quarter and they go into witness protection for 3 hours.
