This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Tim Sweeney, the pedophile (protector) who insists that pedophiles aren't using Roblox to commit pedophilic crimes by preying on minors? That Tim Sweeney?
He also says that stopping ai generated csam is "gatekeeping".
Whenever I say this his apologists magically appear.
Okay, lol. To start with, that's not what the term 'gatekeeping' means -- he's not even using the term correctly.
If a group of real csam producers was trying to keep ai csam producers out of their group, that would be gatekeeping.
Yes. Yes I do believe they are one and the same.
"Think of the game-devs needing to make money" says a fat cat talking about a tool forged from game-dev's labour without compensation and disregarding any social contracts (i.e. copyleft software licenses).
"Think of the game devs needing to make money"
Says the former dev whose biggest success, Unreal Tournament, had little to do with Epic itself.
And Fortnite started as a Pubg clone.
And Fortnite started as a Pubg clone.
It actually started as an MMO PvE co-op thing. The BR was an addon jankily tacked on, and it just took off because BR was the hot new shit everyone wanted to play, and got bigger than the original concept.
Well, Fortnite started as Fortnite: Save the world, which is still alive and kicking. Battle Royale is the trash they made later.
Lol. The slopsmith is upset that you know about his slopsmithing.
Another choice quote from the original IGN interview that this is from:
Sweeney: [...] The only way that we can hope for new games coming into the market to be able to succeed when there's so much Metcalfe's Law at play and so many captive audiences in the really big games – you know, Fortnite, Roblox, PUBG Mobile, and a few other really huge ones – it's got to be that those games get momentum by connecting to the economies in other games. I think that can really reinvigorate the market if people are constantly looking to new games and sources of new items that they can earn everywhere and be able to really easily move together with their friends.
Guy got talked into the whole blockchain NFT crap so hard that he's still trying to make it happen, as if it was ever a desirable thing that the best way to get some kind of gear or cool cosmetics in game A involves playing game B instead.
If I'm understanding his comment, it doesn't make sense at all. He wants people to discover new games......by playing the same big 4 games that everybody already plays, and aren't unknown.
What?
I don't even know where to start, to the point that I'm assuming I'm missing something here. Thats how little sense it makes. I'm at a point where the only logical conclusion is that I'm misunderstanding his statement.
Because otherwise......where do you even go from there? If you heard this guy saying these things on the bus, you'd just assume he's mentally unwell.
He saw how big Roblox market share was and decided that he wanted it. That’s why Epic is integrating UE6 into the Fortnite ecosystem. All so he could collect his 63% from each sale (potentially more with UE6 fees). It’s not about making new games easier to find, it’s about becoming monopoly.
how about Tim Sweeney disclose of these nuts?
Gottem!!!
BofA
Bank of America?
Got to keep shoveling that minimum viable product slop, but heaven forbid a label which might serve as an indication for it.
Remember when the Epic Games Store was so bad that anti-virus software was identifying it as a threat?
Epic are currently trying to make a push into mobile after preparing the way with all those lawsuits, but their mobile app store shows they learned absolutely nothing from how poorly EGS was received.
How bad is it? So bad it doesn't even have a library. To know which games you own, you have to browse the list of all apps on the store and find the ones that have their price replaced by a download icon.
That’s a terrible way of doing it.
Was?
That bad?
Wouldn't competition that does also have the same requirements to publish on steam? Wtf is he talking about
Rinds me of the EA guy and the Runtime fee in Unity
