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

2019-04-06 18:16:16 UTC  

unless they see fit to use their power

2019-04-06 18:16:21 UTC  

They have no power

2019-04-06 18:16:25 UTC

2019-04-06 18:16:32 UTC  

They have no board seat.

2019-04-06 18:16:37 UTC  

So it's less a snake more a gnat

2019-04-06 18:16:40 UTC  

They literally cannot do anything

2019-04-06 18:16:42 UTC  

yeah as i thought just making sure :P

2019-04-06 18:16:52 UTC  

They just get a piece of the pie

2019-04-06 18:17:13 UTC  

Wait. Is discord actually profitable

2019-04-06 18:18:06 UTC  

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

2019-04-06 18:18:31 UTC  

matthew they dont really have discord store anymore afaik ?

2019-04-06 18:18:45 UTC  

We are moving to a different means of commerce.

2019-04-06 18:18:50 UTC  

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

2019-04-06 18:18:52 UTC  

"We failed miserably"

2019-04-06 18:19:13 UTC  

Ehh. No not really.

2019-04-06 18:19:17 UTC  

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

2019-04-06 18:19:22 UTC

2019-04-06 18:19:49 UTC  

Wait

2019-04-06 18:19:55 UTC  

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

2019-04-06 18:19:57 UTC  

The discord gaming store shutdown already

2019-04-06 18:19:58 UTC  

Wrc

2019-04-06 18:20:04 UTC  

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

2019-04-06 18:20:09 UTC  

true dat

2019-04-06 18:20:21 UTC  

Timed exclusives are w/e imo

2019-04-06 18:20:29 UTC  

Exclusives are shitty but needed.

2019-04-06 18:20:32 UTC  

It’s 6-12 month exclusives

2019-04-06 18:20:36 UTC  

And they aren’t needed.

2019-04-06 18:20:43 UTC  

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

2019-04-06 18:20:52 UTC  

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

2019-04-06 18:20:56 UTC  

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

2019-04-06 18:20:58 UTC  

Same with GOG

2019-04-06 18:21:07 UTC  

They’re profitable only because of Fortnite

2019-04-06 18:21:21 UTC  

All their other exclusives have been not profitable I hear

2019-04-06 18:21:24 UTC  

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

2019-04-06 18:21:25 UTC  

Fortnight and it's glorious ten billion dollars

2019-04-06 18:21:37 UTC  

GOG for modern games. Has lazy developer issues

2019-04-06 18:21:37 UTC  

oh wait, i misread

2019-04-06 18:21:56 UTC  

They literally don't push patches to the Gog version

2019-04-06 18:21:56 UTC  

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

2019-04-06 18:22:12 UTC  

Because they aren’t competing on tech. Or how good their platform is
