Those other things you mentioned weren’t a season-long theme—this is the first time they’ve gone for that level of integration. I agree with you about Fortnite being a “kitchen sink game,” but it unfortunately seems like they’re leaning more toward “gimmick” seasons than trying to tell a cohesive story, especially…

She’s one of the characters Marvel is going to start pushing (starting with a Disney+ show), so it makes sense to give her some visibility here.

On a related note, Hitman (2016) is free on EGS starting today until September 3. If you’ve never gotten around to playing it, it’s absolutely worth your time.

Also an attorney. The whole point of Epic’s lawsuit is that Apple’s TOS and payment systems are anti-competitive practices. So if they agree to continue going along with Apple’s policies, they don’t have damages and don’t have a case. They had to challenge Apple’s policies and get smacked down so they could show the…

Bingo. 1000% correct. I can’t believe that everyone else seems to be missing this.

No, it’s only pro-consumer if they’ve decided ahead of time that they like the company.

100% right. Plus who exactly other than Epic has the resources to hire the best anti-trust attorney in the country and go after them?

you have two choices. Pay what they are asking, or negotiate something better

At this point, I’m surprised the OWL didn’t throw in a “you’re not allowed to leave for Valorant” rule.

It’s the same reason people watch professional sports, cooking shows, etc.—there’s entertainment value in watching someone with a high skill level perform and show off their talents. Imagine if you had commented this:

As for Ninja, someone has to explain the attraction to me. I have watched his stream. He was no better or worse entertainment wise them many other streamers.

> Complains about “covering these asshole streamers”

After getting snubbed for so many years, I’m not optimistic. But that is one of the finest half-hours of television you can watch with your eyeballs.

Fun fact: If someone in your Valorant match has one of these premium skins, and they’re killed, you can take their gun and use it (for at least a few rounds). So I’ll get to hold one of these bad boys eventually, without paying a dime.

If you play this game and NEVER buy a single cosmetic, they actually LOSE money on you.

It’s like we’re watching the Darwin Awards play out in real time.

This is nothing but marketing BS. If you read the whole statement, you’ll find that:

I didn’t see a problem with the conversation until the last two messages. The nature of Bunny’s work and the persona she’s created necessarily involve sex appeal and “thirst culture,” and it seems like Zaimont was genuinely interested in some of the philosophical aspects of that.

I agree with 1, 2, 3, and 5. 4's getting a little too close to “she shouldn’t have been dressed that way” for my liking.

They should call it the Bedmaster. Maybe not.
