Hey Uber, etc. drivers - this isn’t supposed to be your main job. Much like fast-food jobs, these are meant to subsidize your income, not to be your main source. And and you can blame Bidenomics on the inflation that has caused the increase in prices for everything.  But you dummies will continue to vote for the left.

We planned on using Waymo, anyway.

Isn’t the left over mosaic just the Japanese standard censoring? They still have a law that women and men private parts can’t be shown, no matter if real or drawn.

Some people can’t even use the Epic storefront because it’s blocked or illegal in their country. Then there’s the fact that the storefront doesn’t comply with GDPR:

Bare-bones I can live with, but no shopping cart is a level of ineptitude in design I didn’t think possible, especially considering the Unreal store has one.

The epic store is functionally a piece of junk right now. It’s where Steam was when it was in alpha. Actually, it has less features technically. Devs are opting for the Epic platform because of incentives (read: bribes). Steam may not be great, but it’s certainly a better platform. Everyone already had steam. No one

I love the undertone of moral panic in this post. Am I supposed to be outraged about adults spending money on dumb cartoon sex games?

Kotaku has failed to notice the problems with Epic and their store so completely at this point that it can only be deliberate.

Except many times they used language like “You’ll get a steam key” or a “key delivered via steam”. Yes, they couldn’t have seen the EGS coming and planned for it, but those devs that used that language definitely made promises of one thing...

Here’s the monopolistic part of it... The DARQ dev was offered an Epic deal, They basically said “Nah, I don’t want to do that after I told my fans that it was coming to Steam. I’d love to also have it on Epic Store however in addition to the others so people can choose where they get it.” What was Epic’s totally not

Uh, you don’t have to side with anybody. You can just have your individual thoughts on the matter that have different takes and layers of concern than mine. But if you’re the type of person who boils the situation down to “well, it’s either I side with the corporation who doesn’t give a fuck about me, or this random

Well a sadly common condition that happens is a crowdfunding that is promising to put it on steam then in the home stretch taking epic’s dirty money. Very egregious was the Pheonix Point developers who after doing it said all the backers could get refunds and we are still good. This situation is the most honest answer

I’m getting older and I’m busy a lot and there is a lot of games out there. If you don’t make it easy for me to buy your game, I won’t bother. If you try to sell me a 60$ game for 100$ by having crap dlc? You’re out. Gameplay focused around lootboxes and microtransaction? out. I’m not boycoting stuff that comes out

By the way Josh, you should consider writing an article regarding the Epic store and the game Darq. I know I know lol that would go against the narrative and this isn’t going to get a response whatsoever. We have to make sure Epic and its developers are the victims, even when they are evil as fuck on this shit show.

In covering the Epic Games Store, Kotaku has written about how the consistent, perpetual rage over its mere existence

Goddamn, you’re wrecking the narrative man!

Honestly, 90% of the hatred is due to the harassment that the developers have been dishing out. They weren't covered in this article, but you should read what they have said. It doesn't excuse any harassment that they've received, but likewise, we shouldn't excuse them. 

Translation: I’m a strong and independent woman and I’m always the victim.
