  • Epic enshittified early. The whole system was terrible and they force it onto you. Here is valve actively making it easier to play your games while epic was like “It’s PC gaming, you get the good with the bad, suck it!”. You can’t simply buy your competition when your competition has more money than God.

    Epic is failing because Tim Sweeney refused to innovate the platform.



  • I hope Bungie realized that if they make another free to play shooter that it will cut into the profits of their other free to play shooter.

    People who still play Destiny2 are like people who drink Hennessy. “When a mfka drink Hennessy all he drink is Hennessy” - Kat Williams

    Maybe they can try something smaller, more original, and riskier and see if people will buy that. Shorter development time, tighter budget, minimize the scope of the first title and see what people will buy. Leverage the fact that you have all this game tech, expertise, and capital and make three smaller projects that do not compete against the core product directly and come to market quickly.

















  • My favorite trick to reviving old computers is trying to find ways to get them to run off of solid state storage. It really makes a huge difference. You will be surprised by how much more tolerable classic computers are when you no longer have to deal with slow storage mediums.

    Mind you this doesn’t make them modern levels of fast and you no longer get the satisfaction of hearing the hard drive grinding away when you open a window but thems the tradeoffs…sigh…
