I mean, why not continue doing what you are doing until the thing that you like actually goes to shit?
- johnnyanmac 5y agoYeah, Epic's acquisitions don't really affect the aquired's day to day. IDK why "protesting a launcher" means disassociating with every single thing a company does. Kind of hard to avoid every single Unreal Engine game, or Blender/Godot or any other company/game they gave no-strings grants to. Or games you played already but are on EGS when they get a PC port.
- heleninboodler 5y agoI certainly understand being skeptical of the "nothing's going to change," which seems almost guaranteed to be wrong, but still, we don't need to lament the downfall before it actually happens, even if we think it's inevitable. If they change the amount of money going to artists, or cripple the feature set, or stop supporting a platform you like, or disable downloads... that's when we lament. Edit: for one thing, anyone who pops up with a "bandcamp replacement" right now is going to have a very difficult time arguing that their replacement is actually better as long as bandcamp is still exactly the same thing they were emulating.
- breakfastduck 5y agoBecause, and fairly so, people don't want their spending to go into the pockets of companies that get kids interested in gambling or buy exclusivity.
- mfost 5y agoBut there is no gambling in Fortnite and shortly after Epic acquired Rocket League they removed their loot boxes too. The only gambling there was in Fortnite was in the paid version of the game that nobody really played anyway. The game that is actually popular doesn't have it.
- breakfastduck 5y agoCompletely and utterly inaccurate.
