  Console gamer here as well, though with a PC and redeeming my weekly Epic Games since a few years back.

  Most of what I hear I believe it’s mostly due to the Epic Launcher being quite a bit behind standard, and the store not having great costumer service policies. I think Epic’s games with timed exclusivity don’t garner a lot of respect from the gaming community either, as they rather have freedom of choice to purchase their games on their main storefront.

  Now, I think it’ll be obvious, but all of what I mentioned is further impacted by the comparison between Epic (or most other launchers, really) and Steam. Steam might as well be called the “default launcher” at this point, and naturally not everyone can compete (or they don’t want to) with the numerous and consistently good business decisions Steam tends to have, which keeps it in the top.

  Not only that, and even though I still benefit from it, I’d say Epic’s strategy of offering weekly free games might feel like a sort of ‘obvious bribe’ to some, a cheap way to try and vainly make gamers turn on their main competitor. Which isn’t really moving the needle that much, because gamers preference for Steam isn’t due to free games, but good and consumer-oriented business practices.

  I’m sure from gamer to gamer there’s more depth to this, but I’d say that’s the gist of it.

  Yes. Minimum wage is supposed to cover every basic living necessity at the very least - from rent to food to even a modest amount of leftover money meant for a bit of fun here and there. It’s not supposed to allow a lavish lifestyle or allow one to eat at restaurants every day, obviously, but it should allow you to live modestly and support your household regardless of you living with others or alone.

  So for these McDonald’s overlords who live lavish livestyles thanks to the thankless work these workers put in, then why should they even work at a McDonald’s in the first place? With inflation constantly rising and wages staying where they are someday even a McDonald’s job won’t be worth the hassle for the non-livable pitance of money they receive in return.

  Down with overly rich billionaires living off other people’s misery. If your business allows for you to live the most lavish and extravagant life while your workers barely have enough to make ends meet, you are not a successful businessperson, but a grifter to society and use your power to keep the status quo as it currently is. Plain and simple.

  I think I see many reasons why Debby is no longer in the picture.

  Anyways, how far along, truck chief?

  I didn’t ask for “plastic toy pizza”, just an actual edible pizza.

  I mean… His headache will surely end, forever, as will all other sources of pain…

  Now you, lady… Depending on your personality and surrounding environment, I’m not as sure. Some headaches are inflicted. Others are chronically self-inflicted.

  Europe accepts its sons and daughters of long ago. Specially the talented ones who contributed to empowering science in the US.

  Let’s call it a loan repayment.
