"Tim Sweeney is our Robin Hood." ~Adeptus_Obsoletus
They are business men that want to sell a product. If a game is only on Steam, I buy it there, if it’s only on Epic, I buy it there.
"I'm going to support billionaire #2 because billionaire #1 is worse" ~woelkchen
Too bad you have neither a clue nor some talent to at least make a funny comment.
Buying games on Steam serves 100% my self interest. Some of that money goes into improving open source Linux technologies which I personally benefit from.
If you cannot make factual comments, at least learn how to be funny instead.
Not everyone worships billionaire. Just because someone says something that's actually true for once doesn't mean you agree with everything they say. Why is Lemmy so against the existence of nuance?
“I don't recognize a joke when I stare at it.” ~Bronzebeard
Actual people argue like this, as is evident from the other morons in this thread responding with the same exact thought process as your "joke". If it's no different from a serious response, then You're not as funny as you think you are.
Because partisanship. They are on Team Gaben, and can only understand criticism of valve as expressing support for Team Epic. It’s exactly the same as when libs construe any and all criticism of Democrats as support for Trump.
