Man, I don't like the Steam monopoly on principle, but I have to admit I do struggle to pay attention to Epic exclusives. It's simply the launcher I open the least after GOG and Steam. I've though "hey, wasn't that Ubi Star Wars thing out" like two or three times and forgot about it between remembering that's an Epic thing and deciding whether I wanted to buy it.

But hey, since we're going multiplat again, I could use some newer Ubi games on GOG, too.

Valve is just one shite CEO away from going from PC's blessing to its curse.

I choose to believe that Gabe's will bequeaths Steam to a cohort of independent non-profits and co-ops which will each be charged with attempting to continue to elevate gamers and gaming according to Gabe's 1,200 page manifesto.

GabeN will name twelve disciples who will spread His word and continue His work.

They'll strap him to a chair and sacrifice 1000 2fort snipers a day to keep him alive.

At twelve disciples, that means he can give each pair one of his mega yatchs. I'm sure with a third of all gaming profit coming their way, the twelve of them will be able to afford the 100 million per year it costs to maintain the fleet worth around 1 billion.

He's not Jesus, he is just a piece of shit billionaire like the rest.

It is genuinely pretty obscene. You can't "offset" this kind of behaviour.

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 month ago

Whoa, you should preface your posts with a warning, lest anyone cut themselves on all that edge.

If you think about the fact that he's taking enough profit from every sales to pay his employees more than the industry average and to be a multi billionaire while his clients can barely afford a house or can't afford one at all then the current CEO is already shit...

Fuck all billionaires.
