Yes, this. I was going to reply with the same thing but thought it wasn't worth. There is a lot of hate towards Epic due to EGS, which I get - but Tim has never said anything about losing income due to other stores existing. Sure he's said a lot of bad things about Apple, but never about Valve. He's actually a really good guy, all the hate towards him really irks me - fine, hate the epic game store, I don't personally but I get it, all this world building where he becomes this stupid generic money grubbing CEO is just wrong. It's just reddit echo chamber stuff.
- spywaregorilla 3y agoSame. Bugs me a lot. I dislike the EGS. I dislike Fortnite. But Epic is one of the most dev-friendly companies in the world. And in my opinion they're constantly pushing in the right direction on things. Maybe not without prompting. But still. * Online multiplayer must have crossplay * Anti platform monopolists lawsuits * Source available engine * No lootboxes * Over a hundred million dollars to Ukraine * $250k to Godot for open source graphics It's one of the few companies I'm actually rooting for.
- MikusR 3y agoWhen Microsoft announced Windows Store he was one of the biggest fud spreaders about it. And everyone was praising him about it.
- klik99 3y agoyour use of fud indicates that you are old enough to remember 90s microsoft so I'm surprised that you don't feel a huge dollop of skepticism was warranted for the windows store. If you weren't active in the 90s, then I can understand not getting just how anti-competitive MS had a strong history of being - now that we truly have a "new microsoft" these days.
- tru1ock 3y agoI used to play Rocket League on linux through steam. Epic killed that. They are very bad for linux gaming and I avoid anything Epic like the plague.
