I am skeptical at best about this game, and I have been pretty vocal about the bad decisions made with Halo since Bungie dropped it. However, these grifters are making me want to pick it up day one out of spite.
So far we have:
-The purple sky on the promotional art is bisexual propaganda (even though it was even more purple in 2001.)
-Female marines were added solely for woke reasons (Even though female marines were always supposed to be in Halo CE.)
-There is no gameplay loop shown. (Even though there is plenty of actual gameplay online now.)
Y'all are becoming insufferably annoying.
Epic Games is the platform equivalent of a drugged out rich kid that did bad in highschool, but still got into a good college (PC games) because their rich dad (Tim Sweeny with Fortnite money) paid to get them in.
And now the parent is mad that their kid is failing, while also failing to understand that paying the college off doesn't mean their kid will succeed.
You get to the place where Steam is by providing a quality product. Valve earned the market share it has by earning the good will of PC users.
You then come in, with an underdeveloped launcher, and also bring exclusivity to the PC platform which is why a lot of PC players hate consoles, and dangle free games over people like jingling keys, and wonder why people hate you.
The 30% cut is industry standard, Tim. Xbox, Sony, and Nintendo as well as other PC platforms take a 30% cut, so why not go after them? You are only a monopoly if you have cornered the market making competition impossible.
There are more choices for gamers to pick from than just Steam, and it isn't impossible to compete with Steam either, no one just wants to risk nearly going under like Valve almost did to bring a competitive and quality product to compete with it.
@BionicDance@ValHighwind@ToonHive He's literally right but go off kid. pick up a pencil. maybe drawing a stick figure might actually form some new brain cells for you.
