Technology

Hmmm. I think I won't be reinstaling the Epic Games Store app on my gaming PC any time soon. (My old drive failed December of '23..) I'm only playing two games anyhow - Horizon Zero Dawn and No Man's Sky and both I got through GOG.

NGL, I only tried the Epic Store to get Bioshock on one of their free giveaways.. and it turned out to be a bit much.

Really not into body horror games.. Or people that make excuses for maintaining platforms that enable the creation, and distribution, of CSAM.

See ya later, Tim.

It's astonishing how arrogant and stupid this guy is. Surely he'd notice that this is a great argument against having large centralized services, right? Does he think Twitter is the only Microblogging thing on the net?

On one hand, the technology exists, sure.

On the other hand, arguing that everyone should have easy, free access to child porn is not the "good look" he think it is. I wonder why people regularly shit on him.

never had an epic account. never will.

Anyone have a script that just repeatedly downloads and then uninstalls my epic library?

Absolute L take from the undisputed king of L takes.

... censor all of their political opponents

... ' child pornography?

To be clear: X is the political opponent of anyone who values democracy. As such, it can be fairly said that this IS an attempt to censor my opponents' ... child pornography. I do not object to 'censoring' CSAM. Tim Sweeney thinks child porn is free speech (pcgamer - contact me for rights to this far superior headline). When X was just vile hate speech, propaganda, and misinformation, the free speech argument prevailed. This is not the same.

I knew him from way back in the good old days of ZZT and epic pinball.

Why do many of these guys end up being goddamn weirdos?

My god, the outspoken billionaire pedophile club just keeps growing.

Just can't fucking help themselves.

... though... that... does makes sense, that you would lack self-inhibition... if you were a pedophile.

Hooray clown world!

You know Tim Sweeney really could do with having his social media access taken away from him. It's not like he has anything of value to contribute.

He should stick to just announcing Epic releases and otherwise just shut up.

...

oooooookayyyyyyyy.

billionaires, man: they not like us ._.

edit: oh wow i suddenly just realized, the fact that i never installed the epic games store and didn't accept from them even the things they were giving away FOR FREE means that i never aided or abetted this irredeemable monstrous pedophile scumbag sack of shit. I did not expect to feel vindicated today. What a pleasant surprise.

I knew I had a reason to hate Tim and Epic games. I’m glad I never took their bribes of free games and installed their store

He doesn’t care about user freedom of choice only his own interests and now his mask in falling. He is openly supporting child pornography.

Is the image Grok’s representation of what a pedophile might look like?

Classic Epic response!

Yeah, I'd like to censor those pedophile politicians, with my rpg censor.

I thought "gatekeeping" was a good thing, to keep fandom spaces "safe from normies", so big corporations will only make stuff for "real, hardcore fans".

Tim Sweeney has a shitty take? Must be a day ending in Y!

Every accusation is a confession. Tech CEOs are filthy scum.

Do these people have kids, wives? Why not get Grok to generate some nudes of their families and see how they feel about that.

Communities have values and standards. Those fat cats and their systems of extracting capital have been chipping away at that for decades. Shame used to be a thing. No values. No standards, No shame.

I'm fine with all of these CEOs giving me even more reasons to not support AAA companies and give my money to indies.

What kind of fucking dope he's on?

Also he's wrong, this isn't the first rodeo of AI producing CSAM, when people discovered stable diffusion could do it they made the filters a lot better on the XL version, but Musk doesn't give a fuck.

I have a feeling that after this is all over there's going to be some kind of McCarthyist search to out all of the pedos in business and politics.

I mean in a sense I hope there will be one in order to rid the world of the pedo cabal, but there are always false positives in such moral panics.

I'm so sick and tired of the self-evident stupidity of free speech absolutism.

I don't know why but these people want to normalize pedophilia.

This fuckhead as the head of a gaming company, what a fucking joke. This loser has never had fun in his life

Oh dear, Tim. I guess you just told us your future.
