I’m glad that Tim Sweeny and its Epig Games Store is not the market leader.
lol I just found my 7 year old post on Reddit (when Reddit was cool) of a Epig Games logo creation: https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/comments/bvw5ru/epig_games/
But pigs are cute :(
Why associate them with such a shit company?
Yes, like we don’t have Handmade tags in products…
I dont know about the future, but a “No AI-Art” tag, makes sense to me.
I have seen handmade tags, for stuff that wasn’t machine loomed, etc. But handmade clothing is mostly dead in the consumer world, unless you class mass production methods as handmade… Which they are made by hands in some stage
Handmade clothes may be not the norm but they are not extinct. Dresses, scarfs and accesorising can be found handmade. Luxury market is in majority handmade.
The point is that the label is not pointless. It exist and will exist in the future. I just hope that games with human art won’t be considered a luxury.
I think a lot of what was art will die, you have logo generators and random people image generators that used to be done by a graphic artist, or a photgrapher.
Tim continues to not ‘read the room’
On the wrong side of nearly everything. Disappointing, he was a gaming pioneer. Now just a petty greedy corpo.
Yeah, it’s a shame for sure.
And wonder why Steam is succeeded but Epic is an AI slop wasteland
And CEOs will be the easiest position to replace with AI. Can’t wait for the share holders to figure that out.
And people wonder why Epic games has the smallest market share of all the game stores
Take the free stuff, give them nothing.
This is just one of many examples on why epic is inferior
Never buy another Epic game again, understood!
Tim: Valve doesn’t understand the market. AI is going to lead gaming industry.
Also Tim: VALVE IS A MONOPOLY AND SHOULD SEIZE TO EXIST.
Valve:
Valve wins.
Valve understands that sometimes less is more
Then some clueless person complains that Steam dominates the market. When Epic is constantly shooting their foot.
People like to make informed decisions and those labels help. In proper countries even beer have content labels to say if there is rice or corn with the barley.
One can be concerned by a monopoly even when there are no bad actors. Google used to be good before it was evil, and Gabe Newell will die eventually. Consolidation of market power (Audible for audiobooks, for instance, or Steam for video games) is not ideal. It is a shame Epic is such a piece of shit.
Indeed, but shoving Steam under the bus, instead of critiquing their “rivals” for their lack of consumer-friendly alternatives, when for the most part they’re just doing their best seems counterintuitive.
This is why Epic is losing lol
Agreed.
What does it cost them to make a checkbox and show the value to the customer?If they fear it, they know that the knowledge will make me think twice on buying it.
They make sense because we don’t want your AI shit Sweeney
“Crypto/NFT disclosures make no sense, because all games will become “Play to Earn” and have NFT objects where you can transfer your Mario hat to COD 2028.”
I am being glib, Sweeney probably has a point, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take a critical look at his intentions.
What are his intentions?
Unreal engine drive by AI with more AI for an AI powered AI peoples AI solution. AI the new AI buzz word thrown into everything to excite AI investors. AI AI with extra AI. Money please AI.
Using AI to maximize his profits without people criticizing him for it.
These guys live in a bubble, huffing each others’ farts
Using AI for checking a code, and the double checking it yourself is different than some waste of sperm dictating prompts to AI, and telling his friends at parties while high on ketamine adderol and coke “this is going to be the next GTA” is the AI badge Valve is talking about.
