F'real, they're much appreciated. I would have been salty as gently caress if I'd have missed out on Loop Hero; I've heard a lot of people heap praise onto it this year!

The hate for Epic is as crazy as the early hate for Steam. Definitely complain about multiple stores, but it's not a Chinese super spy program, it's a mediocre web store for video games.

This is true but I understand not being thrilled at using a Chinese-owned platform as your main games store. Tencent is a massive company with deep ties to China's authoritarian government. Not wanting to support them as a political statement seems reasonable.

Excepting that fact, I do like their free game giveaways. Free games are good. But for some reason I pretty much never find myself actually opening up the Epic app to see which games I have to play. It just doesn't enter my head. I know I've picked up a bunch of free games but I can't really remember what they are.

Sweeny is still the majority shareholder, not Tencent. He's a dipshit so it's not like that's particularly better or not but hey, Gaben is a libertarian dumbass too so, you can't win anywhere, no ethical consumption etc.

Tencent doesn't actually own Epic, they're minority investors.

Also Tencent's foreign gaming investments are mostly ways to diversify their earnings outside of any Chinese legislation regarding video games. They wanna make money on sissy men too!

If you have no money in China you're hosed.

And in America if you have no money you're super loving well off?!?!

My entire point is that both countries are basically the same loving thing except here we're capitalism with some mild "socialism" that for some reason even the people on it hate; whereas China is "communism" with a heavy hand of capitalism that again everyone loving hates and would you look at that the single loving thing that they have in common is CAPITALISM. I'm going to stop after this post because this isn't the place for nuanced discussion but lets just say that you should steal every single game that doesn't have DRM and even if it does, find a crack. Only pay for things that don't gently caress with your morals.

I think what it comes down to is that America sucks, China sucks, capitalism sucks, the world sucks, and humans suck, and if we all just died we'd be much happier.

But you know what doesn't suck? Free games. You know why they don't suck? Because I'll never loving play them, so I can never be disappointed by them. And as if that wasn't enough, free games means my game number go up!!
