    Heroic is not made by Epic. We’re talking about first class first-party support. And Heroic doesn’t work very well either.

    We don’t want first party support

    Stores are stores

    Launchers are launchers

    Communities are communities

    Software works when it is specialized and leaves open for others to build on

              What’s the cat in the hat line? You’re not just wrong, you’re stupid

              ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux

              Issue tracking for the Steam for Linux beta client - ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux

              Not every issue is on Valve but saying it’s perfect just shows you haven’t used it

              And you certainly didn’t use it back when the file dialogue couldn’t view outside the steam directory

                Well that’s unnecessarily fucking rude.

                What I meant was, it works perfectly for me.

                  Who cares? It’s a win for everyone.

                  Biggest disappointment is that it took a rich twat to twist the government’s arm and do what should’ve done 10 years ago.

                      I mean, it’s what you’re celebrating.

                      You can make some vague claims that it’s going to be good for small businesses and independent developers… but realistically it’s only going to pad the pockets of the already rich. Any benefit to anyone else is going to be negligible.

                              No just one of the most profitable in the world.

                              There’s tons of others… like Epic.

                              Epic is not “successful”, by any standard.

                              that’s the first step to actually knowing what the hell you’re talking about

                              I know exactly what I’m talking about. I just don’t know what you’re talking about.

                                I’m so happy this other large company which wants to embed itself as a storefront and soak up fees won against the other large company which was already doing it.

                                Like, genuinely I am, but Epic isn’t doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. Epic/Sweeney is mostly sad they didn’t have the monopoly first.

                                  The only business who is losing anything here is Apple.

                                  Literally anyone else, including your solo dev kid cousin, who just made his first game, wins from this

                                    They did a good thing but I still get to judge them for ultimately being greedy.

                                      Apple v Epic is like the Trump-Elon fight. Apple, like Trump, does more and lasting damage. Sweeny, like Elon, is somehow even more hate-able.

                                      I don’t want either side to win, I want both sides to lose.

                                        I’m so happy this other large company which wants to embed itself as a storefront and soak up fees won against the other large company which was already doing it.

                                        Like, genuinely I am, but Epic isn’t doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. Epic/Sweeney is mostly sad they didn’t have the monopoly first.

                                        Now Epic can finally install their own payment system, bypassing Apple’s parental controls, and little Timmy can just enter the details from mommy’s credit card when Epic gets him addicted to gambling loot boxes.

                                        Such a win for consumers.

                                          Okay now he should be able to afford developers to make all their games on Epic SteamDeck-compatible, right?

                                          Epic literally cannot even bother, they handed Linux to valve on a golden platter
