Sure there Tim.
“Valve has held gaming back for years by locking developers’ PC games into Steamworks’ social walled garden where players can’t talk to other players on iOS, Android, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, or even other PC stores.”
my guy lemmy, matrix, reddit, discord, forums and even your local library game night exists. You simply cannot be such a simpleton.
This has been an absolutely wonderful crashout so far, and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here.
Moron says something stupid, more news at 11
This is coming from the guy whose distribution platform outright lacks the ability to reuse existing game files after an OS reinstall. EGS requirES that the user initiate each game download one at a time and do some weird file juggling to try to trick the launcher into using what is already there.
You know, basic functionality that literally every other launcher is able to handle by pointing to a games’s installed folder. In Steam’s case, you can reload libraryfolders.vdf and it’ll automstically detect and link up files appropriately all at once across multiple drives.
Holy fuck. Who cares? This idiot said something stupid? Again? No fucking way.
How is this an article? Why does PC Gamer think every single thing this idiot tweets needs an “article” written about it?
I don’t think so Tim.
George of the Jungle still slaps three decades later.
It’s true. They’ve held it back from the enshittification that Timmy so desperately wants.
The client is basically irrelevant in this day and age. Anyone could build one better than Steam and it wouldn’t even be hard.
Lol. So do it Timmy.
Wow is this an actual quote? This guy is hella toxic.
AnYONe COUld Do iT
Ah, so true. I’ll just fire up the epic store on my pc and play games with minimal effort.
I run arch btw.
His company released the very best client AI tokens could buy. (Its not great.)
Tim Sweeny makes another public display of his idiocy
Is Tim just vibe coding public statements now too? Because the vibes are bad.
This guy is such a loser. I will never spend a dime in the epic store
Don’t play their free games, either. Your time counts as money.
Yes but it’s not their money. Playing the free games might add to their monthly active user metric, but they don’t run their business on MAUs.
They wouldn’t do it if they didn’t profit from it.
🤣
Jesus, is Sweeney undergoing some form of AI psychosis? Or is he just generally unhinged?
Yes.
Just narcissistic personality disorder smashing itself face first into reality.
Why not both?
The client is basically irrelevant in this day and age. Anyone could build one better than Steam and it wouldn’t even be hard. I only bring it up because it’s what everyone talks about when defending Steam. Like it’s still 2024 and these things are hard. Steam’s only remaining value is its network.
No sir. Trust. Steam has earned trust from their customers. THAT is what the 30% cut pays for. Trust that we wont get scammed. Trust that it “just works”. Trust that the service provider keeps our interests in mind when making decisions, not just the shareholders. Trust that Valve is in it for the long haul and our library purchases won’t just poof on us. That doesn’t mean there isn’t risk, but there is trust. I can’t say the same for Epic.
Uh, how so…?
PC is an open platform, and Valve have done more for that platform in the last 10 years than Epic ever will.
This guy is such a clown.
