They were claiming and “advertising” 2,000 dollar checks after the 600 had already been sent out. I hear a lot of people claiming this but the timeline doesn’t line up.

I couldn’t stand Trump and I’m not expecting hard hitting political journalist from Kotaku, so nothing against this article or anything. (I know it’s just in good fun) But this is such a great example of what the next 4 years in the media is going to look like for Biden.

White collar jobs really be like that :(

Oh, who did open heart surgery first?

Excellent. This is their best adventure game - it’s well written and really clever, managing to hit a lot of emotional beats as the game goes on.

I have several friends who hate borderlands who really love this game.

Supposed to be writing a book, but I guess I’m writing this instead. The problem with Mass Effect 3 was never the ending; it was how none of your choices in previous games mattered, at ALL. Mass Effect and ME2 showed you multiple options for different situations, with the implications of different outcomes. Mass…

Most of what I read where people made actual arguments is that the Mass Effect series spent three games worth of narratives carrying the effects from your decisions and making it feel like what you did had a real bearing in what was happening, and railroaded you into really narrow sets of circumstances that…

This smells like a case of not reading labels

Timed exclusives hurt GOG and itch.io. The reason that timed exclusives are a sticking point is because the most sales are made at the beginning of a game’s release. If those games aren’t available on smaller storefronts, they miss out on that early rush, with people going to Epic instead of those storefronts. And…

Epic Games Store Roadmap | Trello

As disgusting as I find artificial scarcity (one of the reasons this is much worse than console exclusivity, which can actually make sense), one of the big things that really jump out to me about this is the nature of the market here itself. This isn’t so much a competition for consumers, as for publishers. Prices…

Then maybe that’s what you should be doing. You don’t need games immediately, nobody does, and Epic hasn’t done anything to earn your loyalty. They aren’t competing to make a better product, only cornering market share to make more money off their real customers, publishers. None of these moves Epic has made has ever…

Wow, so Michael made a rational calm response and you just jump to that? The hell is wrong with you? In no way did they insinuate anything like that.

No one has a problem with another icon. We have a problem with Epic choosing to use exclusives as market leverage rather than trying to just make their own games store the better product.

I don’t know, I think the fact that these game devs take the money to be exclusive to the Epic Game store and then use the Steam forums for support is pretty shitty. I think Valve has been pretty cool for not putting a stop to that. If the situation was reversed, I’m sure Epic would have kicked them off the store or…

You mean, the kind of response Epic tried to stir up from Fortnite fans against Apple? I’m going to keep doing what I’ve been doing: not buying anything tied to the Epic store. Or Fortnite, for that matter.

If you honestly believe that this is about a “second icon,” you haven’t been paying attention. This is about consumer choice and money, plain and simple. Epic wants money, but doesn’t want to put in the effort to make a competitive product. They’ve had well over a year to offer even basic feature parity with the likes…

The only result of the exclusivity deals I can attest to is my complete lack of interest in the platform.

na man, this guy clearly invented ‘woman in tac gear’
