but yeah i know that they are relatively passive investor

No it’s very small. Unfortunately I can’t say the exact numbers but they are a very insignificant investor

unless they see fit to use their power

They have no power

<:wholesomethonk:373550351082848267>

They have no board seat.

So it's less a snake more a gnat

They literally cannot do anything

yeah as i thought just making sure :P

They just get a piece of the pie

Wait. Is discord actually profitable

Since tencent invested in you, and invested in epic, does this mean discord store and epic game store will run promos

matthew they dont really have discord store anymore afaik ?

We are moving to a different means of commerce.

"Its now just their e-commerce backend owners of verified servers can buy access to to directly sell on their servers"

"We failed miserably"

Ehh. No not really.

Or, perhaps more nefariously "Tencent told us to stop competing with Epic Store"

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

Wait

Nah. More like we just didn’t want to buy exclusives like epic was doing

The discord gaming store shutdown already

Wrc

Because that’s generally just a shitty thing to do.

true dat

Timed exclusives are w/e imo

Exclusives are shitty but needed.

It’s 6-12 month exclusives

And they aren’t needed.

Steam needs a strong kick in the dick to actually keep being not fucking trash

From a business standpoint, they're PROFITABLE, but they're inherently anti-consumer

only thing buying exclusives does is either making your game flop or making people pirate it

Same with GOG

They’re profitable only because of Fortnite

All their other exclusives have been not profitable I hear

how is GOG trash? genuine question, haven't heard anything about it in a while

Fortnight and it's glorious ten billion dollars

GOG for modern games. Has lazy developer issues

oh wait, i misread

They literally don't push patches to the Gog version

Buying exclusives is anti consumer and does not make steam better.
