Ffs trump and his lackeys making even Sweeney look good

[–] athairmor 87 points 1 month ago (8 children)

Yeah, I don’t recall ever reading a Tim Sweeney quote and thinking, “that sounds about right.”

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw 9 points 1 month ago

Likewise, I now feel like I need to scrub clean my soul.

God damn... WTF is this bizzaro timeline... Just take me to the fuxking shed already

[–] Cypher 4 points 1 month ago

Eh he once gave me an all you can drink pass at the after party for a gaming convention in Melbourne.

So the quote is ‘get whatever you want, drinks are on me tonight’.

Its still a complete mystery how I made it back to my hotel with no map, no local knowledge and on foot.

He's also swimming in Chinese money, so this might not be a purely altruistic statement.

trump has opened the portal to Bizzaro World

[–] TommySoda 97 points 1 month ago (3 children)

For the first time in my life I'm actually agreeing with Tim Sweeney. I hate the guy but at least he has the balls to say it like it is. The rest of them are just cowards.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I'm sorry but if someone is pretending to be a Republican

to gain favor with Trump, skirt antitrust laws, and ultimately 'rip off consumers and crush competitors'

doesn't that just make them… a Republican?

[–] psycho_driver 13 points 1 month ago

Right? I feel like almost every 'Republican' is just an opportunist that likes to cherry pick the things Republicans supposedly stand for these days. I think any people out there who can say that they wholeheartedly agree with every talking point on the Republican agenda (the ones that don't shift constantly) then they are horrible, horrible, terrible soulless excuses for human beings.

If you have to pretend to be bad to get your own way, maybe you are in fact bad after all?

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 month ago

They're not pretending to be bad, they're pretending to care about what the Republicans care about. They're very openly bad people

[–] surph_ninja 14 points 1 month ago

Yeah, they may retain a different self-image, but their actions & goals are in line with Republican ideology.

That's rich coming from Tim Sweeney, but hey for once he accidently spoke the truth

The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point

[–] MolecularCactus1324 8 points 1 month ago

You know what they say about broken clocks.

[–] psycho_driver 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well Tim you went from a -10 in my books to a -8 with this. Keep it up.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I was trying to think of a way to put it, and I think you nailed it.

[–] fox2263 40 points 1 month ago (1 children)

God damnit sweeny. You have had a visit from the ghost of Christmas past or something?

Don’t make me agree with you.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Broken clocks

[–] AlternatePersonMan 33 points 1 month ago

Doesn't that just make them republicans?

If you want those things then you are a republican, there's no pretending.

[–] ZILtoid1991 6 points 1 month ago

If the democrats would have given them those, they'd have continued their "woke capitalism" arc...

[–] Xeroxchasechase 16 points 1 month ago

I'm not used to this kind of honesty from CEOs. This is epic

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

I've done nothing but trash talk this man, but I have to take this opportunity to praise and give him the respect he deserves for calling this out.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I believe the word you’re looking for is capitalism. Unbridled late stage capitalism.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Trump/MAGA is a big corrupt scam. After election, CNBC had guests that you should go all in on smaller companies, because "deregulation will be magic for them". Truth is, only those buying Trump's favour will be granted exemptions from blanket tariffs, and will receive H1B worker allotments. Rest of economy will be destroyed. Tesla specifically gain gain significantly by destroying US/Canada big 3 auto production, and fast tracking FSD approval/deregulation. FB/Google will give enough to ensure tiktok ban.

even a broken clock...

If you're at a table with nine Nazis and you don't leave, then the table has ten Nazis at it. History won't care why you were at the table, just that you were there.

I wouldn't call it pretending but... Yeah, no shit.

[–] waitmarks 6 points 1 month ago

Guys it was just a prank. I’m not really fascist, I was just pretending. I just gave money to the fascists as a joke, isn’t that funny?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (11 children)

Epic got so much bullshit for - reads annotation - making platform exclusives that were only temporary and helped developers with stable financing with better terms.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Emphasis on games, plural. Make something other than Fortnite!
