      I think it’s more of a gaben hate thing, since the epic store can’t really make a dent to steams marketshare, even when they straight up give away games.

        Sweeney is like a man-child who thinks that he should receive higher praise as his more popular counterpart simply because he takes the exact opposite stances on many issues as some kind of underdog. Blockchain economies, the legal gray zone of generative AI, Linux support; and kicking his superiors in the shin and crying to the world when he gets shoved in return.

        Epic will always be a lesser store platform, and Sweeney will always be a lesser man.

          He should just lean into the fact that he created Jill of the Jungle. That’s more respect-worthy than most of the stuff he’s done lately.

      Because it makes his job harder. He hates having to work for his money. He just wants customers to put money directly in his bank account without ever having to work for it. Other storefronts? Cheating him out of sales. Other payment systems? Stealing his money. Other operating systems? Making his life hard by forcing him to accommodate for something different.

          I played a battle royal where you had unlimited lives but were weaker after you lost the first (either less health or less damage output) and then the game would end after like an hour or hour and a half OR there’s one team remaining with at least one of their members having their original lives

          It was fun cus you could actually play the game and one minor slip up doesn’t mean waiting a half hour for a match to be found and start
