Funny thing. At my screening, first thing on a Thursday morning, it was nearly entirely white men, including me. When we were all standing around beforehand, I thought about joking how this was the line for the boycott.

Discord Store takes only 10% from developers, so Epic is also more expensive, but after reading the EULA from Epic Store I will never install it, no matter the game.

Why do you care? Are you selling games? You sound like a “Epic bro” to me for defending Epic with something that vast majority of consumers care nothing about. Why do you guys never talk about how great the store itself is? Oh, wait, you can’t because it’s barely a storefront as it is.

It’s funny how Epic talks about being against Valve’s “anti-competitive” practices yet are quick to make all of these games exclusive to one storefront meaning there’s no competition. Can’t really have it both ways. The only people winning in all of this are the publishers cashing all of these checks from Epic.

We have all, at one point wanted to punch Sean Murray in the face.

Have to disagree, but that’s all on Paul Feig as the director.

Girls, in my Ghostbusters? Yeah, that’s just how things go, it’s really not a big deal

I think you’re having difficulty grasping a basic concept here. Mein Kampf could be considered hate speech. The writings of authors like Billy Roper could be considered hate speech as well. Amazon allows Roper’s work to be sold on its site, therefore it is tolerating hate speech.

Billy Roper is an author whose books are available on Amazon. He founded a white supremacist group called White Revolution. There are plenty of books on Amazon that support white supremacist beliefs, though they’re careful to present them in a more academic and less overtly racist manner. The Occidental Quarterly, for

It’s a historical work that’s considered sacred by white supremacists. It is the very definition of hate speech.

But again, who is actually affected by their lack of curation? Rape Day wasn’t a game that would appear on any of your lists, especially since games flagged as Adult Content are hidden by default. People specifically sought out the game so they could write angry articles about it.

Yup, cause having giant international corporations decide what I can and can’t play, what is and isn’t worth existing in the marketplace has never cause issues.

I want to put some things in perspective when it comes to Steam’s various problems: Steam has over 100 million active accounts, 45 million active users per day. That’s greater than the population of many countries. How can you expect Steam, a company with fewer than 1000 employees, to react quickly to problems (to say

I have to ask, have you actually used the Steam Store? Or did you get all your info from people like Sterling, who made their life’s mission to highlight the “bad” games?
A “normal” Steam user doesn’t see 99% of the “shovelware” everyone talks about, because the store hides it. It’s there if you want to search, because

Just want to remind you that the idea of the Treaty of Versailles being excessively punitive is, itself, propaganda. And from the Nazis, no less, who wanted to convince the world that Germany had been wronged.

Look no further than the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk that Germany imposed on Russia the year before. It’s as

Competition means opening an actual competing storefront (you know something like GOG or even Humble or Twitch/Amazon)...not using money earned from Fortnite to buy away exclusives from Steam and then also installing spyware on users’ systems to monitor their Steam activity to figure out which are the next games Epic

I dislike the use of the quote “they’re all the goddamn same”. Yeah, they are more or less. Conventions are a business. You’re doing your cosplay as a business. If the conventions are were you have to go to flex your business and make money, boo hoo that they’re all the same - you’re doing this as a business.

Epic can still get fucked. Throwing around Fortnite money to make the PC space genuinely worse when it’s finally on the rise after being neglected for multiple console generations is a shit move, and supporting it, as well as Tencent, makes the people defending their practices a part of the problem.
