Stardew valley too.

Then there's factorio.

Then there's any super giant game.

Then there's, frankly, just indie games in general.

Fuck triple aaa

Linux one, I wasn't aware of but that does suck.

Unfortunately, due to the behaviours of the audience they are trying to gain that is likely the best and cost effective way to gain new users. But I do totally agree their launcher sucks ass and needs work.

Care to elaborate why you're calling them Evil Games?

They are better for developers via unreal engine.

They are better for both developers and publishers via the markets lowest cut of earnings via their store front.

They pay well to try break steams monopoly. If anything, steam are the bad guys via their extortionate cut. (30%)

They are better for indie Devs on Fortnight compared to Roblox.

They do everything better than most... so place your anger correctly. I'm sick of people hating on epic while they're the only company trying to beat the monopolys....

Let me frame this another way.

Google is monopolistic and kills any other competitor from competing. Thus preventing consumer choice.

Google is already one of the biggest companies in the world. I've never given them a penny in my 2 decades of service use. Yet the line goes up.

They exist because of us the consumer.

They also don't pay, let alone treat, their creators fairly. Although they are 99% the reason they exist.

Yet Google wants more because line must go up.

There are other services I pay for such as nebula, float plane, patron specifics. But not all creators can sustain that. And I doubt it I pay for YouTube that will change. Because spoiler alert. YouTube don't pay well. It's sponsors and merch that keep creators alive.

Kind of a shit response to such a well written reply. Most of us would use this guide likely don't already have any of this set up. Imagine spending so long setting this all up when there's a good reply that can further improve on stuff before it's in place.

Good for you knowing this before everyone else who knew! Really impressive! You're so cool!

Now stop assuming everyone has read news that you have.

They could, they just didn't have a CEO who wanted less pay.

Absolutely spot on reply.

Brand recognition and memory triggers is what big brand ads are about.

Cleanex, Hoover, Coke, most cologne/perfume ads, Old Spice...

What stock price are looking at? It's up 50% this year.

And before you quote that it's lower than its peak during COVID, so is the majority of not all big tech firms.

What's the game?

They already show ads though. Just for their own content after every episode.

It's made me stop using their service because it's annoying enough as it is.

Also those make me despise the advertised show and refuse to watch it already.
