don't forget, devs from the rocket league also got laid off a few weeks ago
they bought a brazilian game company that made a very fun game and now they only do fortnite skins, they can just explode and the world could be a better place
edit:horizon chase turbo is the game, piracy it and play, it's really fun, just don't give them more money
Fucking hell, I had no idea and I love this game. This is where I draw the line, I'm joining the Epic hate train now.
+1 for such an extensive, well-founded rant
It ain't dead yet, but it's not looking good. I second this sentiment, however. I love Bandcamp and was so pissed when they bought it, only to be more pissed when they basically threw it away like a used napkin. Fuck Timmy Tencent.
So... #verizonmath means I have to ask: Is this supposed to be 3/1000ths of a penny per stream? Or 3/10ths of a penny per stream? You labeled the amount with both dollars and cents :(
Honest question, why is this bad? I don't understand.
I think you misunderstand. They didn't bring games that were exclusive to consoles, to PC. They took the idea of exclusives to PC app markets. I.E. paying game studios for exclusive rights to distribute on PC. It's anti competitive and a completely artificial limitation, since obviously, for PC games, the hardware is the same regardless of Steam or Epic app stores. And that violates a long standing core value for many PC gamers as an entirely open market.
Yes that was exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for clearing that up.
Jeez that is terrible. I did NOT expect to resonate with your pain as much as I did. Yikes.
Fkn amazing username.
As if valve and gog don't exist.
No, I think they care about customers enough for us to not be troubled about their "ulterior" intentions.
Still nothing compared to what valve did. People here are either young or naive.
