Wait we have AI-powered drones?

Why is no one mad at them?

People are mad at them. However, Epic is the one enabling this shitty behavior so they are the ones getting most of the hate.

they have had like a 10+ year headstart on cornering the PC marketplace

So Epic had like 10 years of learning from steam and doing it better, offering a competitive platform and experience. However, they didn’t do that because that actually takes time, money and effort so they just artificially tried to limit the amount of titles for sale on steam, which is basically trying to strongarm consumers into using their platform. Which is quite the same practice you see from any big players in any industry, from apple to john deere - and all are getting hate for it.

you’ll be glad there’s still some competition left

Competition like the EGS? No, I’m definitely not happy about that.

Steam is a huge reason why PC games went fully digital almost two decades ago

Not really. Games would’ve gone digital either way, it was the obvious path to go. Steam might’ve sped up that process by a few years, but pretending that without steam, digitalization of the games industry would’ve never happened is naive at best and dishonest at worst.

Not really comparable IMO. Epic has paid devs/publishers in the past for not releasing on steam. Gearbox, Ubisoft etc

Nobody is mad that fortnite isn’t on steam.

That means nothing. Nintendo and Valve are not in direct competition.

True. Now I’m more triggered by the mere existence of some bugs because I can’t fucking fathom how they’d even exist in the first place.

Being able to disregard being called “cracker” is itself a form of white privilege

No it means I’m not offended by every stupid shit some cringelord says online.

Why do people even get offended by cracker lmaooo. That’s such a whack front.
