Stop literally taking my money by making me work hard on my project.
Good grief, Tim Sweeney is such an insufferable cunt.
Tim should just start his own store where he can set the rules and let the market decide whether or not they like the disclosures.
If he’s right, his store would be a dominant force, and … what’s that? He’s been trying that for the better part of a decade and nobody buys anything there?
Man if I were Steam’s PR guy I would nor resist making fun of Sweeney all day long.
They don’t have to, Valve can do nothing and Sweeney keeps making himself look like a whiny idiot.
Has no one sat Tim down and explained to him how much free marketing he gives Steam?
All digital storefronts take 30% btw
And selling to brick and mortar (which doesnt exist much anymore anyway) ends up costing even more.
The big take away is him arguing AI discloser is somehow an afront to developer privacy. Bullshit. I like the response in the screenshot: Sweeney is telling us to be okay buying food without ingredients lists. AI slop is cancerous to the industry and the vast majority of indie dev communities for instance despise GenAI and want the disclosures.
Used to. Not anymore.
Epic is 0% up to $1 million and 12% after.
Microsoft store is 5% if it’s through your website and 15% if it’s through the app.
GoG is 30%
Google Play store is 30% after 1 million
Why lie?
They may just be misinformed. Sony and MS take 30% on both their platforms so that may be why they think that.
No matter what your living conditions, you can never beat Valve on the price of real estate. Because they will live for free in Sweeney’s mind as long as he’s alive.
A disclosure for transparency is not a hate campaign. Actually, Tim is doing a hate campaign against Valve.
Sweeney is such a fucking clown
Fuck around and find out. He fucks around and still doesn’t find out.
There is no AI hate campaign, it’s natural hate!
He’s so jealous of Steam you can smell it.
Ah there’s the Tim Sweeney we know! Balance has been restored
A lot of us don’t hate AI. Maybe he should ask AI for advice on not sounding like a dumbass
Step 1. Devs who use AI don’t boast about how little effort they put into their products by using it
I don’t know but the quote sound exactly like what something AI will say.
I could rant about him again but I’ll just post my favourite photoshop of him instead this time since he’s just repeating himself obnoxiously.
BTW searching the web for
+"epig games"(which usually forces to find words with this specifically) with a search engine, the top result is Epic Games related. So “Epig” and “Epic” seems interchangeable.
Aw don’t tie good looking doggies to this guy. It’s a slur on dogs.
That’s an improvement.
presume that if people know about AI, they hate AI; a true evangelist for AI!
