Another useless 'cost of doing business' fine. Nothing says 'co-operate' like banning them from doing business entirely until they comply.

I didn't buy a RTX 3080 to run games at 30fps. I'll wait to see the inevitable benchmarks, as I'll be running at 1440p, but I really hope performance is better than they seem to be indicating.

As for the game, it gives me real Alone In The Dark vibes. Certainly I'll be keeping my eye on the reviews.

This opinion is why no one should ever go to Forbes for a worthwhile and insightful view of consumer computer technology and software...;) To think that anyone would compare Anthem with CyberPunk 2077 is--well--just nuts...;)

Why do people care what store the game comes from?

Because Epic is a company headed by a douchebag I want nothing to do with. I won't give them one red cent. More than that, I won't even take free shit from them.

"unfairly restricting competition"

Kind of like game exclusives? That sort of unfairly restricting competition kind of thing?

This exactly, I wish that Steam would do this and sue the shit out of Epic for what they are trying to do to everyone else. Fair is far. force them out of being exclusive. make them pay for their dirty low down dealings too.

With all the Tomb Raider and Uncharted games (et al) we've had in recent decades, I'll be curious to see what they come up with that isn't a knockoff of the games that already were - in a number of ways - knockoffs of Indiana Jones themselves.

TR and uncharted are too murdery for me. i'm hoping for something much more exploration oriented. something like The Dig graphic adventure from lucasarts back in the day.

LucasArts was founded initially as Lucasfilm Games in May 1983 by George Lucas as a video game development group alongside his film company. Disney has since revitalized the Lucasfilm Games brand as the licenser of all Lucasfilm-related properties. I hope Disney uses this as an opportunity to give Star Wars projects to the best-suited studio, or better yet, have studios compete for Star wars projects.

News flash for Trumpoloons:

Free speech existed for centuries before social media platforms and representative government did just fine.

Free speech does not mean free from liability.

Any sane person is going to shut up and lock up anyone shouting fire in crowded theatres when there is no fire.

Tough toenails if civilization steps on you if you break the law, or advocate sedition or treason.

For hundreds of years you Americans all had the freedom to publicly dissent, question your government and each other. Even promote conspiracies, People on all sides complained that their opponents were wrong and shouldn't be permitted to speak but they were protected and in the end your country was more stable and stronger for it.
And now in just 20 years almost all public discourse has moved online, And because those protections don't "technically" apply in the same way the people with power get their wish and are able to silence their opposition

Twitter is a not government institution, it owes no one a voice. "Free speech" does not mean you can say whatever you want without consequence either. It means free from government censorship and interference. Twitter is not the government, though Donald himself appears to be confused about this too. Given his conduct on the platform it's a miracle he lasted as long as he did, many others wouldn't be so lucky. The idea that the president is somehow a victim who is unable to reach people in many other ways is ludicrous.

Likewise comparing social media platforms with incredible reach and amplification potential to traditional forms of discourse is disingenuous. You also don't reason with the sort of people who storm the Capitol building threatening to hang the VP.

Also, I don't know if this will be the case with TL2, but my Epic version of Carrion runs fine without the Epic launcher. I just threw a shortcut to the .exe on my desktop, and it works fine. Even tried it on a different Windows account where Epic isn't installed.

The solution is obvious. More freebies.

Not for me. No Epic account, therefore no EGL and no freebies for me.

That's a peerless level of deductive reasoning.

Maybe. But with Epic there is no such thing as “free”. I’m certain of that.

So you can use it as banter, because it's not that bad, but they are pre-emptively banning the word from all emotes because it is that bad. Way to be consistent, Twitch.

That's a very good article. Unfortunately there are still groups of rabid 'fans' or more accurately, fanatics, online, and their insanity and tendency towards violence has only increased in their various echo chambers the past few years. It's also obviously not just a problem for video games, but for all of social media, and society as a whole.

What's the fix? I don't know, honestly. People are more illogical and irrational now, or at least it's a LOT more easier for them to get their rants online, than at any point in my life, it seems. Then again, it's been the same old story throughout human history, mob mentality vs logic, feelings vs facts, etc. Lack of critical thinking, as well as a lack of empathy for strangers are major problems for the human race that won't be solved anytime soon.

Speech without liability is chaos, and that is exactly what unfettered by law (230) social media is inflicting on civilization now. It will continue to devolve society until it destroys us or adults step in and kill 230 and make social media just as liable as any other publishing medium.

Kind of funny because there are not 5 million PCs out there that can play the game. Going to be a lot of disappointed people.
