re: this article.

The title is a joke. “Free, but you have to make an EGS account” is a bit too rich for me.

    We don’t know what their contract says, but if the studio head is saying “never”, then presumably that’s what the contract says.

    Who’s the man-child here? Tim Sweeney? The CEO of Remedy?

    I haven’t been keeping up with the weird Gamer tantrum about Epic so I’m not up on who you guys are mad at. Or why.

      Sweeney is the man-child, unequivocally. He’s done things simply to oppose what Valve does, like making the EGS a safe haven for AI and blockchain shovelware games, outright rejecting Linux support for Fortnite (even though there is no technological barrier), and removing Rocket League from Steam. (not an exhaustive list, just to illustrate)

      I wouldn’t say a single bad thing about Sam Lake. He is cursed with limitless creativity in a hostile ecosystem.
