The lack of understanding on how this stuff works is literally the reason for this hate. The problem here is that the lack is on Epic’s side, not the authors.

What hate is in that headline? As the article says, their is a massive sale on at Epic and could potentially get a ton of people get their accounts blocked if they buy a certain number of games. It’s better to warn people about that issue with reporting like this.

You know what would REALLY help? If players showed some solidarity with the people who make the games they love and stopped playing League of Legends until Riot gets their act together. They’re sitting on disgusting amounts of eSports money that they’ve made off of their mistreated and exploited workers.

So basically Epic pulled some shady and manipulative trickery and didn’t tell people ahead of time, and then when companies said, “Hold up! We didn’t agree to this!”, Epic tried to paint it as those companies being unreasonable?

I can see that they used real areas in Waikiki for some of the map. I actually used to live around this area .

I’m starting to feel like we’re getting to a point where nothing is allowed. I mean, the context here, for example. She isn’t making fun of black people in any way. She’s trying to remain true to the character, who happens to be black. It would be one thing if she had done something deliberately offensive, but she’s…

I think you’re confused. Media outlets have been writing puff pieces about EGS since it was announced. Just look at this article. It should be renamed “why people are angry about EGS and why they’re wrong.” Gaming journalists love to gloss over the real reasons why people are upset and simply dismiss complaints as…

“Exclusive” has been used with software platforms since their inception. DotA2 is exclusive to Steam. WoW is exclusive to Battle.net. Battlefield is exclusive to Origin. Fortnite is exclusive to the Epic Games Launcher. This isn’t a novel concept.

Developers don’t get an extra %18. The publisher gets an additional 18%. Borderlands 3 is published by 2k games, that is one of the two subsidiary companies of it’s parent holding company, Take2 interactive. Guess what other games are under the Take2 umbrella. Most notably GTA, RDR, and the 2k sports franchises.

I would argue that the developers will probably not see any of that money. Most of the time, it goes to a publisher since the publisher seems to be making the decision in most of these cases. At least that is what the developers of Metro Exodus and Borderlands have claimed. So this money isn’t even going to the…

The whole bullshit of Valve’s cut is really over the top. When you consider how much developers are making off their digital sales now and the majority of them no longer needing to produce physical products that completely negates the entire point of complaining about Valve’s cut in all of this. 20 years ago…

I mean, there’s a ton of stuff. Account security. More launchers. Existing friend networks. Feature set. Price competition from authorized key resellers.

Every argument I seem to see for EGS either a)says that since that person doesn’t care about those things, no one else does or can; b)has vague promises about…

The best part of Hearthstone is uninstalling and doing nearly anything else with the hundreds of dollars required to stay viable for longer than the latest patch.

Just become a professional athlete. They get paid to workout, so it would stand to reason that she wouldn’t have to use her free time to get fit.

Let’s not forget this too... I loved both games back in the day.

Blaming the hype is weak, do you not have any impulse control? 50 hours is a lot more time spent than on your average AAA story line games... If after 10 hours you still haven’t enjoyed the game at all and you keep playing, you are not even a masochist, you are just plain retarded...

Well, it's FIFA. Maybe the corruption is there for realism.

well if Tex Murphy can get a sequel after 16 years then so can Phantasmagoria. we just need a team dedicated to making that happen.
