    Tim Sweeney is literally the biggest fucking cry baby I’ve ever seen.

    I won’t touch anything Epic because of such a man child he has become.

        Not worth me being a statistic that they can sell to investors imo. Fuck Epic.

        Besides, that game’s been on sale for less than $5 on Steam.

          “As you can see, a whole bunch of people joined our service, downloaded games we paid literally millions for from our servers and didn’t give us money” isn’t a good pitch.

              Fooling investors into thinking people will just start paying them for a worse experience than you can get on Steam is funny but even they should realize once they look at the financials.

                I wouldn’t be surprised to hear something like…

                they rope kids in with the free price tag over the summer, school starts and they get bullied for only having the default Fortnite skin, and suddenly the “customer” “converts“.

        It’s not free. The point is to get me to make an account on Epic and install their stupid launcher. That isn’t free and I’m tired of people claiming things are “free” when in fact they exist to get you to sign up for another service. It’s not free-as-in-air.
