New info from the Epic v Google trial shows that in 2018, Google had floated the idea of teaming up with Tencent to buy full 100% ownership of Epic Games.
Abso-fucking-lutely not. That’ll be the death of epic and unreal engine as we know it if it ever happened. And why team up with Google if you know they’ll abandon it in 2-3 years?
Pretty much the majority of (large) single player games in development or recently released have been unreal properties. It’s by far the best game engine for its use cases
Unreal or Unity, and one of those recently became not really an option.
I think it’s in everyone’s interest to have more variety in engine choice, but that just leads to everyone only being familiar with their proprietary engine implementation.
Godot is trying to break in, and seems to be picking up some steam though
If you think losing Unreal is good for developers and the gaming industry you’re absolutely retarded. Your rant about the storefront stuff is just weird. I don’t like the epic games store either, but I guess that’s not enough for a dedicated Steam fanboy like you. What a sad neck beard you are.
Yes, comical that Valve secured exlusivity of an already-on-sale third-party game to try to drive support of their nascent digital store more than a decade before Epic did it and you fanboys are all just okay with it because you weren’t there.
You all try to pretend that Epic invented this sort of exclusivity on PC, but it’s been a thing for years and years before they even opened their store. But go on and bury your head in the sand even further about it, I’m sure GabeN will be your bff if you do it hard enough!

Don’t threaten me with a good time
The loss of unreal would be rough for the industry. We’d be better off without Epic, but not without unreal
I really enjoyed THE FINALS, but I don’t play much games with unreal engine so I can see a future without Epic Games

This is it. Most games beyond small scope/indie projects start in Unreal.

But Tencent is worse.
Epic does a lot good things that aren’t competing with the de facto monopoly on pc game sales.
You’re either trolling or incredibly stupid

Why you so interested in killing Valve and GOG?

They both did it before Epic did.

They will abandon stock for Tencent. Easy 100% of stocks speedrun
Yeah first thing they probably do is end the free games and without it I wouldn’t have any games on Epic nor use the platform. It would suck.
