2 monthsSweeney is such a dishonest and corrupt piece of shit, a very typical retrograde American oligarch.

in what way was he dishonest or corrupt?
sure his statement is ridiculous but it doesnt make him dishonest or corrupt
EDIT: people. i asked a question. the guy answered my question. i cant u derstand the need to downvote because i dont know something.
Corrupt:
That’s just the annoying American style of corruption (I say this as someone who is not American but who has lived in North America for ~10 years).
Dishonest:

Specifically:
This is a vile lie by PC Gamer. I criticized a government official for pressuring Apple and Google to block a speech app owned by their political opponent, deplatforming 500,000,000 users on the pretense of stopping a small number of users from distributing disgusting content.
This is clear bullshit aimed at local (i.e. American) degenerates.
When Elon Musk went on a crusade against texty (a tiny Ukrainian new source), did genuine free speech believer Tim Sweeney care? Of course not, because American polemics about alleged beliefs in “free speech” are lies.
I am not a Valve fanboy.
They are only sort of OK when viewed in comparison to other American technology oligarch groups. I even hesitate to use the term “OK” in this context.
Valve is the best gaming company, who has a storefront (and even consoles / systems to sell). All other suck in comparison and I think Valve is good for the entire gaming industry and the gamers.
Your first comment came off like, really not how you wanted IMO.
Your first comment sounds like you’re mocking people: it reads as if you’re parroting a valve fanboy who thinks Gabe is awesome simply because they’ve been brainwashed to think that and not because of valid reasons.

A rare inverse example of Poe’s law in action - a statement so lacking in nuance that everyone is assuming it to be sarcastic.
No, that’s not what I meant. Tim is bad and Gaben is good in my opinion.

This is really weird, I read this comment chain a month ago I feel like. But it was posted today?

Indeed. Even stuff like their casino side business with CS skins seems to be often downplayed.

It’s funny because originally I didn’t understand how it was different and when it was explained to me in a factual way I did understand and changed my view and people really don’t like that.

You don’t have to like Gaben to see that Tim is much worse. Tim only cares about business. That’s why Epic store is great for publishers and developers and dogshit for customers, because Tim doesn’t see you as nothing more than cattle. Your interests don’t matter, you’re just a vessel to extract money from. You can dislike Gaben all you want but Valve at least treats you like a customer.
There is no such thing as a good billionaire and to say otherwise is just lickspittle behavior. Gabe does not care about you.
As said, everyone has their own opinion what constitutes to “good” and “bad”.

Destiny 2 died BECAUSE of soulless, maligned, pathetic, ignorant, coward, contrived, boring, corrupt, greedy, pussy, dick, anus farts like Sweeney. Epic belongs in the fucking grave.

If there were anyone who needed to hire a PR firm to handle all of their public-facing communications, Tim Sweeney is it, because every time I read a news article that starts “Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney Says…”, it is always (from my memory, at least) the dumbest and/or most infuriating bullshit you’ve ever heard from someone who is, notionally, supposed to sell customers on their products or services.
Someone on his staff really needs to tell him to shut the fuck up.

What a dog shit take damn
Even someone who likes AI knows games don’t write themselves.
I’m really trying to think if his comments are aimed at investors for bringing in new funding and consolidate AI games on his platform but even he should know that just makes him the AI guy people don’t wanna associate with. It’s puzzling that I don’t get the strategy here.
to think, all this mad scrabbling for AI right as people are galvanizing against it’s outsized costs and complete lack of a useful endgame. Great timing Timmy.

hey now but what if I want my code to be like
if gun.is_valid and not gun == null and gun.id != null: shoot() func shoot(): fire(gun): func fire(gun): if gun.is_valid and not gun == null and gun.id != null: weapon_activate(gun)
“Tim Sweeney claims that the technology he is behind will be a cure-all. Somehow reporters think that a CEO backing their own business venture is newsworthy.”

Tim Sweeney can get fucked. Every time he opens his mouth, a bunch of vile bullshit spews out.

Ugh, once again Tim Sweeney is being not only disingenuous, but also letting shit spill from his mouth. His desperation knows no bounds. If only people would just mock this idiot more.

Tim Sweeney? The Tim Sweeney who argued that Roblox wasn’t a platform used by pedophiles to groom minors and exploiting child labor laws? That Tim Sweeney?

I tot Destiny 2 died because it’s just repetitive and people moving on. AI adding the same shit will not save anything, but accelerate it.
Destiny 2 died because the studio was more interested in chasing F2P microtransactions than story content.
They cut the paid story content so they could go F2P, then the new players had no idea what was going on or how to engage.
What they SHOULD have done was this:
Fork Destiny 2 into 2 games, each balanced separately. A) PvE Paid Story Content B) F2P PvP microtransactions.
Let the same character bounce from one to the other.

This guy nailed it. I’m one of the players who came back for MoT / bought the everything collection. I’ve been playing through the content after the Europa story, and the game’s quality tanked after Final Shape. Final Shape is GREAT - campaign is fun & interesting, new location has tons of new activities with lots of secret content, and prismatic is a cool new way to build your character.
But then Edge of Fate comes along, and Bungie very clearly cheaped out and cut all kinds of corners. The story dialogue is nonsense and half of the interactions are literally just text boxes over static characters, Fallout-style. They didn’t even bother to record voice work. The campaign level design to a nose dive where they clearly just decided to throw a billion enemies at you rather than create interesting encounters.
Renegades is a little better from a writing perspective, but all of the other corner-cutting problems persist.

The Monument of Triumph update shows that people still WANT to play Destiny. The people in charge were too busy siphoning money away from the game to fund (way too many) other projects, a new building, and cars, just to name a few things.
