No matter how you slice it, Valve and Epic are miles superior to Apple when it comes to consumerism. Apple’s whole product line is essentially proprietary to itself, if you want the maximum out of the thousands of dollars you spend.

“More competition in the market will inevitably lead to fewer competitors in the market”.

There’s also nothing bad. Why are people freaking out? Competition in the market place is actually a good thing. Or do you like only having one (or two) options as an ISP? People freak out about Net Neutrality or how sat services are dominating the market but they are hating on competition, here?

It’s called free market capitalism and as far as I can tell, you’re not required to spend any money for using the store. The only reason people have to retaliate against this by pirating more is their own idiotic arrogance and self-entitlement. Epic is doing nothing that could or should be considered troublesome by…

But is it really that different from Mario v. Rabbids?

I see a couple ignorant twats on the screen :P

That would be pretty stupid.  Face it, this is for the internet and people who have access to the internet at certain speeds.  It’s really just lowering the hardware cost and making it available on nearly any device you’ve got.  What’s the big deal?  Trying to claim that people would have to buy a house is just a…

or homework :D

All they need is a few popular streamers to enjoy the concept, to be honest.  It’s a lot easier to get into the market with something like this compared to literally everything else they’ve tried to do.

Oh, sure. Let me go to your workplace and hound you with my closest few hundred troll buddies. We’ll stand or sit, berate the job you do, tell you how you’re doing it wrong, and of course when you can’t fix it because you’re taking your time trying to answer our questions, we’ll just get louder, more organized and…

Broken games have existed since the dawn of man, so if you somehow can’t figure out that a game is probably buggy but you gotta get your damn fingers on it before the next guy then it’s kind of your problem.

Completely fair argument which I agree with, but also fair is the fact that ugly but very correct words for the other end of the scale are being covered up, replaced by prettier words that make people feel better.

I am not confusing AAA games with all games since I never claimed the letter-type of the games I brought up. Maybe you are confusing what I am saying with something you just really don’t like to hear so you make up reasons to attack it?

Yeah but one crowd is obviously into fake heat and the other is a video game so... I mean, it’s CZW, what you expect?

Oh, you’re so smart. Uh huh. All those fucks and whatnot. You’re a real champ! A trooper for those unfortunate souls who pay less than they did before!

Ten years ago we paid the same for smaller games. Twenty years ago the difference in cost was larger while the cost of development has increased significantly. Twenty years ago a single person could design and code a single game in a day and sell it for $40+. Final Fantasy VII had a very small budget compared to…

Yeah, you do realize the cost to develop games have increased while the prices have been fairly stagnant, or even decreased if you consider inflation, right?

DO NOT IMMEDIATELY GET AN INTERNATIONAL PHONE PLAN

I just got to a place last night where I was able to be “just enough” off screen so that they don’t “see” me--and don’t throw hammers--but the shell still hits them. :D

While no great loss, E3 is looking more and more like the XIX conference, this year.
