Be careful if you download this game your computer will blow up if you make your character trans by swapping them for witch or wizard

I love how ‘it’s free’ became a whole genre of advertising.

Isn't that the game where you can be a douchebag in every single dialogue option and people still end up being your friend with NO change in story whatsoever?

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

The dialogue options presented are "overly courteous" or "neutral"

The worst thing you can say are things like "don't mess with me" or "I have to report you for that"

I've never understood the hate for Epic Games Store. Without Epic cross platform gaming would have never happened on consoles.

Yeah dude is a twat and has some shitty opinions but the same people who bitch about him will whine and moan about Gabe Newell having yachts.

I really just don't understand it.

If you don't want anyone to make money from games then that leaves no money left to develop games.

In fact, epic charges less than half of the listing fee for devs and publishers than any other service that lists games. (They lose money doing this, but they still do it).

Just really odd behavior in my opinion. People find anything to divide themselves over.

Steam also provides a lot more than just a store front for devs at that price, including customer support, multiplayer servers, anticheat, and forums and other social features.

Epic also launched their store without a shopping cart (you had to buy everything as individual transactions) and put new, unreleased games up for sale at up to 50% off without permission from the devs during their first sales event, amongst other things. Like buying multiplatform games to ensure that they only launched on the Epic store. Nobody liked it when Ubisoft, EA, Blizzard, or Rockstar tried that exclusivity crap with their own launchers/storefronts, and they don't like that Epic does it either.

Dude is a twat and his opinions unfortunately drive Epic's policies. People hated Steam when it first launched as well, but Valve as a company has consistently worked to put customer value and rights as a selling point of their products, and people appreciate them for that. Beyond Steam as a sales platform, they've been a driving force in other parts of the industry such as VR and Linux gaming.

Gamers are extremely toxic nowadays. it used to be less public. now they just rage at everything constantly. and in certain circles, its expected behavior.

lemmy gamers tend to be extremely anti-Epic Games even though there's some really good deals on there.
