anyone do a search for him on Epstein airlines?
What kind of fucking dope he’s on?
As an old ass gamer who is fond of Unreal Tournament, I sure hate what Epic has become.
Aaaaaand…. Boycotted.
“Hey kids, Tim Sweeney here, want to play Fortnite!?!”
All you had to do was say nothing, Timmy.
You’re an asshole, but only PC gamers had a reason to care—because you tried to buy your way into a dominant position by employing anti-consumer, monopolistic practices like paying for distribution exclusivity deals with third-party publishers.
The best possible choice here, clearly, was to voluntarily align yourself (and by association, Epic Games) with Nazis and pedophiles. I sincerely hope the board forces you to resign, you absolute chode.
*only entitlted PC gamers had a reason to care
No entitlement necessary.
People typically welcome more competition in retail spaces. Having the freedom to pick between store A and store B allows consumers to choose whichever works best for them, whether for convenience or service reasons. Look at GOG. Nobody is complaining that they exist, or that they sell a subset of the games that people could instead purchase on Steam.
What people don’t welcome is companies deciding they want a slice of the pie, entering a market, and then making the experience worse1. Coercing people onto a platform by removing their ability to choose is consumer-hostile. People complained when E.A. and Ubisoft made new games exclusive to their own storefronts, but they begrudgingly sucked it up because those were developed by the platform owners and they weren’t interfering with games they didn’t own.
What Epic Games did was make timed exclusivity deals with third-party developers2 and publishers in an attempt to stick their foot in the door, while providing the bare minimum service to consumers3. They made EGS for the publishers and offered little more to their customers than contempt and the occasional free game as a bribe to boost the Epic Games Store user counts.
The cherry on top was Tim Sweeny acting like the messiah of PC gaming coming to save it from the Steam monopoly, only to start behaving like a petulant child on social media in response to people justifiably being pissed off at Epic Games for the monopolistic shit they were doing.
Frankly, Epic Games can go fuck themselves.
1: See digital streaming services, for example. Everyone was happy to just pay for Netflix. Some of them even paid for Crunchyroll, too, since it provided a separate catalog. Now, every media conglomerate has taken their shows off of Netflix and moved them to their own separate services at the same price point. It’s not a coincidence that digital piracy is making a comeback.
2: Such as with Ooblets, when they paid the developer after the game was crowdfunded to release it on EGS instead of Steam.
3: No user reviews, it took years to get a shopping cart, customer support being useless when people get locked out of their accounts, etc.
Wait, so is Tim Sweeney a fucking fascist, too?

Most probably. However there maybe another reason, maybe he just likes having the option to make paedo stuff on xhitter…
He does know that Xitter is already, actually and literally, censoring their political opposition right?
That was pretty much the whole project, right?
…The fuck?
Is Tim Sweeney legitimately outing himself as a pedophile? Does the Parasite Class really feel so comfortable and immune from consequences that they can openly advocate for pedophilia?
They’re under the protection of the POTUS. Yes, they feel immune to consequences.
probably, he could well be associated with files.
“Tim Sweeney totally down with child porn if it owns the libs”
The last five words in your sentence might not be needed…
When I’m in a dogshit opinions competition and my opponent is Tim Sweeney
Do these people have kids, wives? Why not get Grok to generate some nudes of their families and see how they feel about that.
They will not care. When you reach that level then it doesn’t matter what working class talks about.
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.
Wow. I already thought of Sweeny as scum but I didn’t know he was nazi pedophile scum. So long Epic.
I have the sneaking suspicion that in private the guy agrees with some very nasty political views.
He’s probably in the Epstein files
And has generated some very nasty AI images.
