something awful is extremely cool and good when compared to all the other online social outlets that's not to say it's good in comparison to literally anything else but when it goes down I'll miss having a place I can read posts from people that seem like normal human beings, that is there are some good some bad and some gross I'm on reddit because some of the tech communities there aren't bad but they are still full of weirdos and children because it's not a safe space to call people out for being stupid as hell

Yes, yes. Let's all give each other jumping high fives, donate some dollars, and get back on track shall we? https://www.reddit.com/r/FORTnITE/comments/b19khr/epicgames_is_stealing_our_information/ Epic games is apparently accessing user steam data without explicit permission. It's sad how people are generally not surprised and don't care when their data ends up accessed or on someone else's servers unbeknownst to them.

Like, who loving cares? You probably already have Origin, Steam, Uplay and some other garbage platform if you play games at all. Whats the complaint here? Tencent? Lol - they own an absurd amount of companies in the video game industry and largely do not involved themselves in running anything outside of China.

steam-like services are giant security flaws and the fewer of them you have on your computer the better, so yeah i get why people bristle at the idea of "having" to install another one for a single title especially if it's one that does that Lysidas posted:there is also a kickstarted (or equivalent on other platforms) game "phoenix point" by the creator of xcom (julian gollop) which was just announced to be epic-store exclusive for the first year after release, after initially promising it would be distributed through gog and steam, and many people are quite unhappy about that WHAT? STARCITIZEN IS EVOLVING! sean10mm posted:You've got a Bulgarian software developer with an expat frontman recognized by like 5% of PC strategy gaming grognards launching a nostalgia project. They fund their project through a crowdsourcing platform nobody has heard of on the basis it would have a wide release on Steam and GOG, then out of nowhere decide to make their game a 1 year exclusive for a z-grade distribution platform most PC gamers don't even know exists. All of which is linked to a sketchy Chinese company, because of course it is. STARCITIZEN became ALIENSGAME
