If that’s your argument, then why don’t you grow your own audience that loves everything you do?

You first, dumbass.

As a sidebar, why the fuck is Unreal Engine 5 so popular? I feel like every game I’ve seen use it ends up being a buggy unoptimized mess.

Opting for UE with its wide compatibility and user base can speed up development but you’ll still need to allot ressources to optimising which becomes harder and harder the bigger the product and the farther it is in development. Look at Eriksholm, it looks beautiful and runs with 60fps even on a Steamdeck.

This comment makes me think of Dune Awakening which had so many movement related bugs and no first person view. Somehow just the engine seems too awful for developers to use. Or maybe just picking it is a sign you dont care about the game

It’s an engine that puts everyone else before programmers - which is great for artists and designers as they can blueprint animations and simple things. It’s bad however when the performance relies on programmers whose time is already torn between trying to do things The Unreal Way™️ and fixing bugs caused by someone doing more than they should have in one big and messy blueprint hotpot.

Code your own engine. What a grown up response to all this. Expected nothing less from him.

His people didn’t make their own engine; Borderlands 4 is built with UE5, and based on the performance complaints it sounds like they’re using wrong (not that UE5 is super performant when used right).

Way ahead of you Randy. By about five or six engines over the years, depending on how one does the counting.

But with that said - why? You didn’t.

What an idiot…

He just insulted all his customers and put “/sarcasm” at the end more like a “just a joke bro” instead of any actual sarcasm.

Some people can benefit from staying silent, fixing things up, and then turning up with results.

If Randy had the ability to turn up with results, he wouldn’t be known as a douchebag who says incredibly stupid things while insulting his customers. This isn’t his first sperg out because people pointed out his incompetence, it won’t be his last.

Anyone catch that Notch told the idiot to “man up,” lol.

Who cares about this guy and his garbage game. The most interesting stuff being done in the gaming space is NOT coming from studios and people like him.

Why does he look like a megachurch pastor in this thumbnail?

Additionally, people are still buying this strange little man’s games? Why? Lol

I don’t mind them not coding one but the price should reflect it right?
