Gosh that pissed me off. And the shitty mobile game.
I did enjoy the C&C1 remaster though.
- Comment on EA: Ruin Everything 1 week ago:
I’m waiting for the first of these beautiful games to be built in Godot. Things will change then.
- Comment on EA: Ruin Everything 2 weeks ago:
Lest we forget. I still have my C&C Decades collection to replay.

I’m a big fan of Bullfrog (own every game) and saw the writing on the wall when Bioware got bought.

Sadly the only people they want to make happy are their shareholders while they rape the industry.

Guys, let’s bring Skyrim to (insert random platform). - Todd

CODification here it comes. Couldn’t be worse than the current state of Halo though?

I gave it the 2 hour test run on Linux and I get getting blackscreens and stutter so unfortunately it went to refund town.
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 1 year ago:
It was a PS4 exclusive too but now you can play on PC. Once the sales droop it’ll be cross-platformed.

The several Acts was a nice touch
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 1 year ago:
Basically watch games being promoted on steam pre-release and when games get popular, reach out to them and offer them money to be exclusive on EGS for a period of time despite all the publicity the game got being on Steam.

I’ll still skip games with multilayer for obvious reasons but this is great.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 1 year ago:
Say that to WeChat.

Mate, if you are dim enough to think an update can’t contain malicious code I have a heap of bridges to sell you.

And mods, friends, groups, community groups, server management and link to external games…
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 1 year ago:
Steam offers more than just DRM…
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 1 year ago:
I posted a link in my original comment about using WeChat to spy…
Tencent owns 40% of Epic. That is very likely a controlling share which means being able to decide who is on the board and influence their decision making.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 1 year ago:
I’m OK if you own the game you are making exclusive to your platform. Bribing devs is shitty practice.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 1 year ago:
NOW this is interesting. Still won’t give Epic my money but I get plenty of games from Twitch for EGS.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 1 year ago:
The one upside is if the game flops it gives lots of users a chance to not buy it. But any game with multiplayer it effectively kills it.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 1 year ago:
MW5 and Satisfactory amongst others were limited to Epic for years.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 1 year ago:
We waited years for MW5 to come off Epic and finally got it.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 1 year ago:
That’s literally the point of their Launcher… DRM.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 1 year ago:
I’m sorry but Epic is owned by Tencent. This means at any point in time, China’s Government can enforce trojans to be installed into your PC.

It is known PC Launcher exclusives actually hurts the company and the game’s popularity.

While Steam is certainly not the good guy, they are not owned by a known Government organisation.
- Comment on Blizzard is delisting the OG Warcrafts from GOG, but GOG says it's gonna preserve them forever anyway, hands out a discount, and announces new policy for its preservation program to boot 1 year ago:
100% the explosion of custom maps from WC3 set the stage for the next generation of RTS.
HoN, HOTS, DOTA, League, etc relied upon these foundations.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 2 years ago:
Like Epic.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 2 years ago:
Tencent also own WeChat.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 2 years ago:
This. Steam also offers reviews, achievements, workshop, communities, groups, streaming, etc, etc
