If only some sort of newfangled technology could come along
Has Tim Weeny ever thought that maybe he should just shut the fuck up?
Glad all I use Epic for is the literal free games.
Being a CEO is so easy a job, even the brain-dead can do it!
AI is best at being a CEO
It “could have”. It actually wouldn’t have, but it totally coulda
Tim Sweeny must have been a very slippery baby.
I hate this man so much.
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?
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.
[ Everyone disliked that.]
“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.”
Barf barf barf
Sweeney 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
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.
Tims bad. Gaben good.
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.
I don’t understand what you mean.
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.
This is really weird, I read this comment chain a month ago I feel like. But it was posted today?
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.
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.
Yes, that’s why Gaben good and Tims 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.
May they rest in piss.
