    Yes yes, bitch eating crackers and all that.

    But can we maybe focus on what they actually are shit at (which is a lot) rather than manufacturing virtue for other companies?

      I’m not sure which part of that guys comment suggests anything other other than “fuck epic,” but here’s a short and sweet list:

      • Designing a service for their customers instead of relying on paid exclusivity to encourage social pressure or FOMO
      • Halfway decent customer support
      • Unreal Engine 5’s performance
      • Keeping their old of games accessible
      • Not scamming kids out of virtual money

        Also, they

        • Fucked over Unreal fans by dropping the new Unreal Tournament the moment Fortnite took off (this one is personal, I was looking forward to that)
        • Fucked over people who bought Fortnite Save the World (the original paid PvE mode of the game) by dropping that the moment the Battle Royale mode took off (this is objectively worse than UT because people paid for this)

        Edit: Also want to mention Timmy’s frequent trash talking of Linux on Twitter
