I work with windows and those forums don’t do shit

I’ve gotten to the point that every time I’m directed to Microsoft Help I automatically downvote whatever the MS rep posts, because it will never not be garbage

Exceot this quote makes no sense without these 2 words. Did Ken just accidentally words?

Jesus, you’re an unpleasant person.

Also, Valve isn’t relevant towards this conversation. They’re not the ones that made Ubisoft into a dumpster fire.

That’s the sterilized, literal definition, but it’s very common for “review bombing” to be framed as immature gamers throwing a temper tantrum. It’s denotation vs. connotation.

But then you have to touch their store, plus you’re boosting their metrics for user count

You could just have extra regular controllers. That was always an option. And with the price of Joycons it wouldn’t be much more costly

As an American you’re right. Hell, a lot of Americans can’t even speak. I now a lot of engineers that pronounce “height” as “heighth”

What “cool features” does Nintendo do anymore? The big draw of the switch was that it’s portable, and there’s dozens of handheld PC’s to compete there. Then there’s the motion control, which wasn’t great in the long run and can also be done by emulators with a variety of controllers supporting it

Post the image of the guy being disappointed it’s Epic lol

Oh no! Someone doesn’t like the thing we like due to shitty business practices! How dare they!!!1!

Uh, copyleft still depends on copyright. All it means is that licenses are free so long as the terms are followed, but it still relies on licensing. The actual opposite(s) of copyright is open-source and/or public domain.

This. ID and anonymity are antithetical

It’d be better if you left people alone

I call bullshit. You made this comment within minutes of the previous one: https://redlemmy.com/comment/174904

Also, that’s pretty low-tier trolling

No, I’m just insulting this guy because he deserves it.

Also, I’m not blind - it’s pretty obvious you only replied to my comment here because I pissed you off in a completely different post and you decided to rummage through my comment history. I’d like to point out that that’s kinda sad on your part. Not my fault you’re bad at making an argument. You don’t need to stalk me for it.

I’m not the one getting worked up an letting it ruin my day.

I was just browsing Lemmy for a few minutes while visiting my parents and eating soup. You on the other hand have been acting like you spent Christmas alone because noone can stand you

Mere references aren’t plagiarism, idiot.

This. There are very few major games that remotely get my attention nowadays. I’ve spend most of my gaming time and money on indies

Do you seriously have nothing better to do on a holiday than just bash Valve? Jfc, go outside and touch grass you terminally online neckbeard

I tend to be in the “fuck corporations” camp, but this doesn’t really look like they’re stealing his work. It looks nothing like the original Charlie the Unicorn. The original Charlie was gray, while this creature is white and rainbow. This is just a reference.

As an analogy, Borderlands 2 has a sniper rifle names The Storm, and it has the red flavor text “tut tut, looks like rain”, which is a quote from Winnie the Pooh. I personally wouldn’t call that exploitation. You could try to make an argument, but it’s so minor and indirect that any argument wouldn’t hold any water

We’re talking about a company that was raking in hundreds of millions of dollars from Fortnite, and buying exclusivity deals for tens of millions of dollars, being unwilling to implement a store feature that would take any half-decent developer a single day to implement.

We bring up this argument because it perfectly highlights how little Epic cares about creating a service that can compete with Steam based on quality. They’d rather ignore the basic functions for years and instead spend orders of magnitude more money on anti-competitive practices like exclusives.

you anti Epic people

And this tells me that also aren’t willing to argue in good faith. You’re disregarding my argument simply because I hate Tim Sweeney and Epic

This

Because Epic does everything it can to be anti-competitive, because they don’t actually want to be competition they just want to be the monopoly.

GOG doesn’t operate that way, they just try to compete by offering a good service,

If epic wanted to compete “from a consumer’s point of view” they would make a better product than steam, but their store is still missing features

Reminder that it took them 2 fucking years to implement a shopping cart

I checked mine, and it doesn’t include hidden games on mobile at least

If Xbox drops consoles then Sony will absolutely be pricing PS6 at $1k

Then people will start buying entry-level gaming PC’s instead, killing off PS

It was a timed EGS exclusive, so that’s a no from me

It would be the same as a guy with back pain killing an insurance CEO,

It’s not the same, because that guy was good for doing that while Tim Sweeney is a pos

You could always sail the high seas

Pokemon is a rip off of Dragon Quest and Shin Megami Tensei.

If you refuse to buy after it hits steam, then you’re just 1 of several billion who didn’t buy the game.

No, you have it backwards. If people buy the game when it goes on Steam, that tells the developer they can double dip buy going Epic exclusive then releasing at full price on Steam a year later with no repurcussions.

The only way to make the publisher learn to not go Epic exclusive is to not buy those games at all, even after they are brought onto other marketplaces

Only because SCUF (and by extension their owners Corsair) are patent trolls and forced Valve to discontinue the Steam Controller due to the existence of back buttons. Valve eventually won the appeals but by then the SC was already out of production

If you think taking a 30% cut to enrich a billionaire isn’t enshitifaction then I don’t know what to tell you buddy.

Most of the 30% cut goes to developing the store, software, and even hardware. Valve has worked to make gaming on Linux way more feasible and easy, popularized handheld PC’s, made game streaming simple, etc.

Meanwhile EGS took 2 whole years to add a shopping cart to their online store and had multiple data breaches. That is what I call enshitification

Your “question” was irrelevant whattaboutism. Go read my comment again. I doubt you will though, as a quick look at your other comments have proven you to be intellectually and morally bankrupt.

I am aware. They’re still not getting my money

Read my comment again

No idea, I refuse to buy it. The first one was good.

Fools are easily parted from their money

Apparently Intel is replacing Gelsinger because his plan to turn the company’s fortunes around are taking too long. My guess is the new CEO will likely sell off major parts of the company and I doubt the dGPU division will be kept

Epic refuses to enable the Linux support for EAC on Fortnite despite being super easy, and specifically removed Linux support for Rocket League.
