I swear I'm 'bout to go Religion Of Peace on fucking Epic Games headquarters.

If they keep this shit up.

*UHHH Ackchyually we're making gaming better!*

You don't SEE it, we're ACTUALLY the good guys! You're just BLIND! Can't you tell we're GOOD?! Ignore all of the EVIL we're doing and just believe us!

outrage culture at it's finest

how so?

Lol this is purely because they’re desperate for good PR.

@Amir it's outrage culture because the epically butthurt bot says it is

Like the outrage culture is true but it doesn't apply here AT ALL.

People have every reason to be angry about Epic. Morally and legally...

If you gonna 🅱 a brainlet, for Pete's sake, at least try xd

@Veritas Prognostician I think you're right. Fallout 76 was absolutely disgusting in how badly it was handled MULTIPLE times on SEVERAL levels. It was an outrageous clusterfuck of STUPID. It put some people off of EVER purchasing a Bethesda game ever again.

F76 was their first truly colossal fuck up, no?

lolno

But it was their biggest.

oh?

what were their other controversies?

Bethesda have always gotten a pass on buggy mess as the ease of modding support so most game braking bugs you did get mods for in less the 24H and a patch a few weeks later. they did remove that option with FO76 and on top of it FO76 was not a game people did want. they did want a new FO single player game

Well Oblivion was essentially garbage and a terrible engine. They then did the "Horse Armor" DLC which was a ridiculous price for just a graphical add-on or some shit. They also did a bunch more DLC nonsense. Then I think it was during Skyrim they tried to push out paid mods, including their own terrible content. THAT was a gigantic issue. They eventually reverted mods to normal. That whole mess is kind of complicated. The short is that the basic concept of making it easier for mod makers to receive paid appreciation from users wasn't bad, but it should have just been a donate button on the mod page instead of some kind of digital store. Especially with how mods are hit or miss and often dependent on user preference, and some are downright garbage.

I'm sure I'm missing out on a lot of their other controversies. But the paid mods was a gigantic one.

they have been testing out the waters for ages, the paid mods was a clusterfuck as it did turn out that people was just stealing other people work and did upload it as their own

Yep.

It was abusable as fuck.

I'm still pissed at the DLC shit from Oblivion.

Like... it was a garbage game. At least give a DLC that is actual CONTENT.

Like the expansions for Morrowind.

Remember when expansions were actual full content additions? You paid $15 and got many hours of fun and additional content?

Instead of $15 for a fucking horse armor mod.

the DLC shit did come as a reaction to GameStop making a killing on used games

Oh that's just a bullshit excuse.

The secondary market has always existed.

And people have always wanted new games. The secondary market was there to help less wealthy people game more.

They didn't need to try to milk gamers to hell and back. It was scummy as fuck and 100% unnecessary and it has contributed to ruining gaming.

Yes I mad.

yea. but at one point the used console market was so big tha games was resold several times as people was done with it. it was a rental system where you did get a 1$ back when you was done with the game and the store did get to resell the game. it was inevitable that the greedy fuckers did try and find a way to fuck it up for everyone as they did feel they was owned more of the pie

The problem is they couldn't do math, apparently.

and yea I do not think it was a good excuse. but as always consoles makes it worse for the PC market

Those "sales" of $1 or so weren't going to lead to "sales" of fucking $60.

Because to consumers money is finite.

They have to pick and choose what they spend on.

As well as how much they spend.
