    I can play that game too.

    How much did Tim pay you for asking people how much Gaben payed to simp him?

    Having an opposing opinion is off course impossible and people. People who have a different opinion are only paid actors.

          Also no, I hate the Epic fucker just as equally as I do the Valve fucker. Funny how Epic does the exact thing the other people did and somehow they’re derided for it, though.

            Valve did not lay off 1000 people. Other companies doing this get the same shit as Epic does. So what exactly do you mean with this statement?

              Oh, I should’ve clarified. My bad. By the same shit I meant their launchers are pretty similar in their origin stories, purpose, and how they get there.

              I condemn all mass layoffs no matter who does it. Admittedly I haven’t heard about any mass layoffs at Valve in recent history, so I’ll give them they’re better on that front (unless proven otherwise).

                Valve paid a bunch of publishers to sell their game exclusively on steam and refused to implement basic features (like a shopping cart) in their UI? Then bitched about how everyone more successful than them was evil and wrong?

                  Fuck yes. Here’s Darwinia going steam exclusive back in the day. Pretty scummy Epic behavior isn’t it?

                  and refused to implement basic features (like a shopping cart) in their UI?

                  Fun fact: itch.io doesn’t have a shopping cart, Google Play doesn’t have a shopping cart either, and they’re both established (itch is even beloved despite that shortcoming, I personally like them). Only scummy Epic gets this complaint constantly lodged against them. Curious.

                  Then bitched about how everyone more successful than them was evil and wrong?

                  I don’t care about their word battles, sorry.

                    I’ve been there during this time and this is the first time I’m hearing of this game as well as Valve doing this. Thanks for bringing it up. Any more examples?

                    One is a bunch? It also seems as though that particular game wasn’t even on any other storefront, just their own website. Hardly seems comparable.

                    Itch is also a much different beast, it’s less a storefront and more a platform for developers to promote and sell their games independently. The pages seem designed and run by the devs and not Itch. It would make sense to not have a cart with that kind of decentralized design. You’re not buying from Itch, youre buying from developers themselves.

                    Im glad to see you only care about your own word battles instead of epics. Weird that they seem so parallel, though…
