- Comment on Remedy Entertainment Has Received A Loan From Tencent 1 month ago:
Personally if there’s no technical reason for a game to be exclusive, then I just want that game to be freely available for people to buy on their platform of choice that has the features they want, or supports their values. Personally, I would prefer to see a GOG release over Steam, as I highly value that they allow me to actually download and own my game installers, they have done amazing work making older games playable and accessible on modern systems.
There’s no technical reason for Alan Wake 2 to be an Epic exclusive, it’s simply that Remedy got a financial incentive up front from Epic to release that way. This isn’t Epic trying to compete with other game platforms, but rather betting that by being the only platform to offer the game will be sufficient to attract players.
This has all played out before with other publishers pulling their games from Steam and releasing on their own platforms (Origin, uPlay etc), but both have vome.back as players will simply go and play something else rather than flock to another games.platfork.in which they have no investment. It’s something that even Sony has seen the light on and why we are now seeing historically console exclusive properties coming to PC like God of War and Last of Us.
Steam may be the biggest game in when it comes to games distribution, and monopolies are bad, but to advocate for Epic Games of all companies as an alternative is a weird position to take.

Apparently they’re not making enough profit on Epic to avoid taking a loan from Tencent.
Personally, I object to Epic using purchased exclusivity as a tool to gain market share, and refuse to capitulate to approach approach when there’s so many other games to play. If they truly.want to compete with Steam then actually make their marketplace competitive with more social and community features that Steam offers.

Another thing that would help is not releasing one of your most anticipated and subsequently well received games in recent memory exclusively on Epic. Still waiting for Alan Wake 2 to release on Steam or Gog guys…

Interesting, I’m not using unlock in chrome on my phone so I’m not sure why it’s not showing up.

Really? I just checked and it’s not there for me viewing on Chrome for Android. Sorry mate.

What is even the point of this article if it doesn’t link or include the referenced side by side.

- Comment on [Discussion thread] Fallout 6 months ago:
I enjoyed it overall, but I feel like the >!Steel Brotherhood storyline!< was probably the weakest part. Walton Goggins was excellent though, and feel like he definitely nailed it.
- Comment on Are people excited for Furiosa? 6 months ago:
I would say I’m curious rather than excited, I’m not getting my hopes up yet but I’ll definitely give it a chance.
- Comment on [Kind of weekly thread] What have you been watching? 10 months ago:
Some ones that jump immediately to mind:
Reacher Season 2 - Watched the first 3 episodes and not enjoying it as much as the first season. Alan Ritchson is still a great Teacher, just the story this time is a bit of a departure, will still see if through as it’s not bad.
Justified - Working my way through the 6th season before I watch City Primeval, it’s definitely formulaic but Goggins and Olyphant are excellent. Especially enjoying Crowder as an antagonist.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters - Pushing through because of the kaiju, but the series makes the same mistake as some of the modern western Godzilla films and has way too much human drama. Will probably finish it at some point but won’t continue if there’s any future seasons unless the reviews are any good.

- Comment on ‘Warrior’ Canceled At Max As Netflix Picks Up Non-Exclusive Rights To 3 Existing Seasons 11 months ago:
This is a huge letdown, this was a really great series. I wonder if there’s potential for anyone else to pick it up for season 4.
- Comment on Amazon's deal to make Warhammer 40,000 movies and TV shows is done 11 months ago:
Knowing how big of a nerd Cavill is, I’m hopeful we’ll get something interesting. There’s so many potential stories that could be told, interested to see who the writers they’re referencing are. That will potentially inform what we can expect.

Integrate taint stain to further salt the scroteprint against possible sackspoofing attacks.

I think the world is finally ready for teabag authentication.
- Comment on Films and shows which tell the story of how they themselves were produced 1 year ago:
One Cut of the Dead is one that comes to mind, you can watch the zombie movie at the start, and then the rest of the movie is the crazy things that went on in the background to make the movie. It’s a lot of fun.
