Sounds like a shit title and introduction then.

Emulators exist for the Switch. So it’s not just the fact that the emulator needs to translate, there is something specific about the N64’s ‘language’ that makes translating more difficult and time consuming.

Probably should be, but isn’t. Bimonthly can mean twice a month or every two months.

You’d be surprised how little that definition helps when someone insists a tomato is not a fruit.

12:00:00 exists in both AM and PM. I have my lunch at 12 PM.

An event that happens biweekly could occur at the same frequency as an event that happens bimonthly.

Fruits are the reproductive organs of plants designed to be eaten by other animals in order to spread their seeds.

Botanically fruit is basically defined as anything with a seed in it.

Although I think botanically vegetable is defined as edible plant matter, so strictly speaking all fruits are vegetables but not all vegetables are fruits.

You don’t own anything on Epic either. Epic is actually significantly worse for people losing their accounts and having no way of recovering them.

If for some reason I lost access to my Stream account I would just pirate copies of the games I’ve already purchased.

I don’t know where you got lost with:

As a consumer I’m more concerned about Epic’s anti-consumer practices than what they are paying devs.

Talking about how much they could charge devs does not change my experience as a consumer. It does not provide a compelling argument for me to use a service that does noticeably make things worse for the consumer.

Do we need to wait until they start abusing their position

Should we be punishing Steam for things they haven’t done?

Epic was already trying to abuse their position as soon as they started up.

“You should purchase from the shitty company because if you purchase from the better company they might maybe one day become shitty” is not a compelling argument.

If Steam starts abusing their position and becomes shitty then I will stop using Steam. There is nothing morally or ethically wrong (or difficult) with “pirating” the games I have legally purchased on Steam in order to access them outside of the Steam environment.

As a consumer I’m more concerned about Epic’s anti-consumer practices than what they are paying devs.

Because it is in a monopolistic position

Is it forcing a monopolistic position? Or is it’s “monopolistic position” just a result of it being popular and widely used?

So we’re talking about everything except this moment in time?

1. Epic doesn’t have disks either so it’s irrelevant to the discussion of Epic games. If you want to complain about eliminating physical media try talking about it in regards to someplace that actually sells physical media.

If Steam is bad because no physical media then so is Epic.

2. But I guess Epic is okay because of how things are right now right? but I shouldn’t bring up how things are on Steam right now? In direct comparison?

Pick an era in time you would like to complain about, and if it’s the early 2000s then go bitch to people in the early 2000s. I’m sure many of them are complaining about the loss of physical media. People still used Steam anyway and now it’s the norm. Now people are complaining about exclusivity deals, if people still use Epic anyway then that will become the norm.

You couldn’t sell it to anyone else, or even let them play it.

Epic lets you sell your games to someone else?

As to your 2nd point I play my friend’s games all the time. I haven’t purchased Satisfactory but have almost 100% it on Steam playing my friend’s copy.
