Not a single person believes that the issue at hand stems from having to install the epic games store.

Nothing excuses the threats and harassment the Ooblets developers have received. Nothing excuses the Ooblets developers’ needless provocation, either, and yet you continue to excuse it, and for what purpose?

My stance as someone who’s already given Epic two chances with games in the last three months and come away with only disillusionment, regret and frustration with this company; don’t be rude to people. Don’t threaten people. You fully have the right to voice your opinion and not buy a product, use that instead.

Seriously. Harassment isn’t the answer but the initial announcement of the EGS exclusivity was soooo bad. So bad that just reading it, I knew they were about to get pummeled worse than the other EGS exclusives.

Nathan continuing to skew narrative and rage bait.

If you get harassed, that’s definitely the fault of the harasser.

These devs are bullshit though, and fueled a fuck ton of this through being total asses(at least the dude) on their discord. No reporting on how the dude just basically shit on anyone who disagreed with their decision civil or otherwise? Also being condescending as fuck in the initial announcement. Hopefully they’ll…

Straw man. Do better.

You’re really brushing off the level of snark in their announcement, and failing to mention how they addressed concerns about availability of their game in different countries with currencies not accepted by Epic’s storefront with a “you’re not entitled to our game” bitchy and not at all joking response (which sort of…

This is why group think is a bad thing.

There are something I need to claim as a Chinese gamer, because most the report I read didn’t give the correct information here. So people thought it’s just an angry nintendo fanboy doing extreme actons.

Reread the article,

...What about Huawei or Xiaomi?

The first sections are fine, ‘We are an Epic exclusive because Epic promised us a lot of money’. Great, that’s hard to turn down, we understand.  ‘Now we and our families feel more secure.’ Well good.

While I support their decision to do what makes sense for their company, especially financially, it felt like their counterarguments were mixed between easy lob shots and fraught fallacies:

It’s easy to talk about “mental health” when it’s someone like me who’s depression just causes them to shut down and hide away, or someone who’s anxiety can stress out or frustrate the people around them.

I just hope they fix some of the issues that new colossus had. That game had some really.. I don’t wanna say /bad/ level design but they definitely did not follow best practices and there’s several areas of the game that are kinda misleading or non obvious which way to go or how to progress.

Honestly, and I say this as a big fan of Nintendo, the Joy-Cons are one of the biggest ripoffs in the console gaming world today.

Is it possible that it’s maybe not outright homophobia, but still pretty shitty to criticize someone for not being gay the way you want them to be (politician or not)?

I put both ODST and Reach over the trilogy, and 4 and 5 are firmly at the bottom.
