From what I remember, some of the content was already on the disk.

First impressions matter and Epic fucked up big time when they launched the store. There were a lot of missing features that were available on other storefronts and it was a pain to use. Another thing that really pissed people off was when they made exclusivity deals for games that were crowdfunded. A lot of people did not like that they lost the ability to play on a platform that they preferred when they directly contributed to a game being made. It was also scummy to make deals for games that were already announced on Steam (i.e. Metro: Exodus, Darq) While the store is better now and they’re funding games instead of making exclusivity deals, there is a reason why a lot of people do not trust Epic or continue to dislike them despite the free games.

Epic Games hasn’t done it much lately, but when they first launched they paid a few big games to be Epic Games Store exclusives which is obviously anti-consumer behaviour.

Exclusivity deals on their own were pretty bad, but what really pissed people off was that some of the games that were made exclusive were crowdfunded.

I think they’re funding games now so that there’s less backlash to exclusivity.

They decided to go John Oliver only too, except people are now posting normal content and just putting a small John Oliver somewhere in the original picture.

This is also why I don’t mind the John Oliver stuff. It’s interesting for now, but it will get boring. I just hope it doesn’t get stupid like what happened on r/aww

Man, I still feel bad for missing that qte in Assassin’s Creed with Da Vinci

Seems to be a US thing. I’ve always had a good experience with AirBnB in Asia.

Take a look at the posting history of that code of conduct account. They’re already asking for new mods in a lot of subreddits

I looked at that mod code of conduct account and they’re posting a bunch of “who wants to be mod here” in a lot of subreddits.
