  • Apparently they’re not making enough profit on Epic to avoid taking a loan from Tencent.

    Personally, I object to Epic using purchased exclusivity as a tool to gain market share, and refuse to capitulate to that approach when there’s so many other games to play. If they truly.want to compete with Steam then actually make their marketplace competitive with more social and community features that Steam offers.

    That was really good. It’s something I hadn’t given any thought to , but the fact that First Person Shooter didn’t exist as a term when Doom released, it was interesting seeing the progression. I remember as a kid referring to Heretic and Hexen as Doom-clones, but wasn’t really cognizant of the term as it fell out of use in favour of other descriptions.
