It’s produced by Ubisoft Studios

I get that you should cultivate the audience you want to play your game, but Ubisoft can’t win for losing. This should have gone through 20 publicists. I expect that mong Hero Hei to leap on this shit.

Ubisoft needs a complete management overhaul.

Are we doing this again?

Ah there’s the squeeze

First step to becoming a billionaire: start with 1 trillion

Hey I can relate. I miss the office too. I was far more productive there and the cooperation and mental space was better there too. But this is a new world we live in, and if you want me to drive to an office, you had better be ready to pay me a fair salary for it.

Oh, you won’t? Guess I’ll go elsewhere.

He has all the time in the world to be on X as opposed to running his other companies straight into the ground. He’s basically a lolcow at this point, and he has the pull and capital to drive the world into ruin.

Which has been crashed and burned to a fraction of its value.

If you’re trying to turn WordPress into an application, for christs sake go use Django, Laravel, or Rails. Don’t send a CMS to do an applications’ job.

Shit you don’t even need a CMS at this point. I moved off WordPress to Hugo and SFTP and i’m happier than a pig in shit. Shit loads fast and no external threats.

If you’re a glutton for punishment maybe

Just not Drupal. Its still pretty bad.

They had an opportunity to deal with this earlier this year when he was FIRED

DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR PHONE

Your ONLY responses should be to identify yourself, and “I will not make any statements without my lawyer present.”

See, I would argue (and I think the OSI agrees), restrictions on distribution or access would count as not open source due to restraining how it can be accessed, examined, and run; but shared source. And that can fuck right off

Not open source. See the license.

Justin Frankel must be spinning in his grave.

I’m slowly using YouTube less and less. The experience is worse because of the ads and Premium costs.

If you are using Steam, you likely have the resources for its overhead + Chromium.

Believe it or not, Steam used to take longer to start, due to pre-loading shaders for Source games, but its been phased out.

My reasons are as follows:

• The feature parity with Steam’s social functionality is bad. There’s no Messaging, no Friends list with the ability to join their games, No chat, no stats page, no achievements, no screenshots, no streaming, no trading cards, nothing to make the experience interesting outside of buying games.
• The IAP experience is not there, and if it is, they are not holding vendors to it. When I played Zenless Zone Zero, I was quickly funneled to Hoyoverse’s launcher for all of that. Its incredible Epic is letting the 1-2% they could make here slip from them, and it means Hoyo needs my Paypal or whatever (i’m not comfortable with this).
• Developer API support is not there, which means that any additional EGS integration is, well, half baked. See Satisfactory for an example
• Steam offers better game discovery, family sharing, matchmaking, and so forth. EGS provides none outside of what it plans campaigns for.
• Steam provides a better API for game controllers, EGS assumes the game will use XInput which works on a per-game basis. Its nothing compared to how with Steam, I can remap controllers easily, especially on KBM only games like Factorio.
• Epic Games acquisitions of exclusives means they have little financial runway, and projects that I liked (Alan Wake 2, World of Goo 2) will probably never see the light of day outside EGS. This means the developers took a constantly shrinking advance over genuine sales and WOM, many are still not profitable. Its already unsustainable for Remedy: They’ve killed the deal with Epic and are now going to a shaky Annapurna. Gearbox didn’t profit off Borderlands 3 off its advance, and they aren’t getting any further profits from the shrinking advances.

Most importantly: EGS is supported by Fortnite money from parents who don’t know any better. If Fortnite collapses (which can happen easily if regulators hold Epic to task), EGS will keel over.

In regards to community features, I know what you’re thinking: Epic could buy Discord! Alas, it would take years to tie the software together, and any acquisition of Discord would significantly fracture the community. I can see a quarter to a third of Discord’s userbase leaving for Matrix.

2. Fox News has argued in court its entertainment, you’re a sucker for believing their crap, and they’ve won

That said, yeah its quite the hypocrisy.
