Do people not realize Epic is just a western front for the Chinese government?
People think Tencent is just some Chinese game publisher, but its much more insidious than that. They operate a service called WeChat, which is used practically everywhere and by everyone in China to do everything from managing their bank accounts to buying shit online to social media to even pay for shit at a vending machine. They are literally an extension of the Chinese government and all the owners/upper management people are either related to members of the Politburo or powerful political families that operate all the major state-owned mega-conglomerates.
The goal of the Epic launcher isn't some stupid shit like competing with Steam for profit or whatever. The goal is to gather information for the Chinese government.
b-but steam btfo though. we have to be contrarian and say we always hated steam despite there never being anyone who ever asked for a direct competitor to Steam in the decades of its existence, but now that there is one le contrarian board has to support it and make ebin wojaks
Ian Wood
really?
Christopher Adams
People do Ironically,this is the only place i've seen supporting Epic So it has to be shills or contrarians
Christian Foster
Tim the CEO of Epic has more shares then tencent does. Chink gov has nothing to gain from the data of people who don't even live in china. You're like a russian scared of Uncle Sam knowing about him hating america. This is all bullshit you pull from your ass because Epic took games away from Steam.

>WeChat
I had to get a goddamn WeChat just to communicate with my favourite "masseuse". I'm probably due for a Weibo next.
It's a goddamn Pax Sinica up in here we're gravitating towards.

People believe a lot of stuff. Our government here views Tencent as a branch of the Chinese government and you can't use any products or services related to them if you security clearance is of a certain level even. Goes without saying that the government uses nothing related to them.

Not even reading past the first sentence and i know you're just a paranoid schizophrenic mate. I also have zero horses in this ebin steam gog fuckrace
Nigga please. Tenecent has Chinese central army memebers on it's board. It's about as trustworthy as AT and T with board members who are CIA. Their employees have literally been arrested and convicted of espionage, both industrial and goverment. And that's not even counting the shit they do in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and every single chinatown around the world, particularly ones with lots of buddhists.
Hell, they even have a goverment fucking program where they REWARD people for spying.
Ian Rodriguez
But XYZ small detail most people with ignorance of how invasive and disregarding of foreign law China is and its social credit system being implemented, nor how they've positioned themselves to be an economic superpower by stealing infrastructure focused hardware schematics and the software they run on then selling them to developing countries cheaper and outsourcing their pollution elsewhere. Fuck Tencent, fuck China, and fuck Epic.

>there never being anyone who ever asked for a direct competitor to Steam I did when people were using it's trading system to scam and gamble.
I did when Steam started doing its bullshit asset flip allowance in greenlight.
I did when shitty edgy meme game were being released one after the other to do nothing but show that Steam gives no fucks about moderating it's own platform or even bothering with QA at any level.

It's a bonfire. If you want to be warm just pull the trigger.
Cooper Martin
I dont give a shit im brazilian, no company offers deals to brazilians like steam does
fuck me, they let me buy shit WHITOUT HAVING A CREDIT CARD OR PAYJEW ACOUNT
DOES EPIC LET YOU BUYS SHIT WHITOUT CREDIT CARDS? THEY DONT EVEN LET YOU BUY SHIT WITH PAYJEW FOR FUCK SAKE
Eli Foster
I wanted a viable steam competitor, and I still want a viable steam competitor. I don't want Epic, I don't want a platform that takes keeps many of Steam's mistakes, adds tons of new ones, and puts my security at risk.

>The goal is to gather information for the Chinese government Do you know how many chinks there are? Do you know how many resources they spend on managing their own people? What exactly is it that you think they will do with your information? The chinks don't give a fuck about you unless you're in China.
They consider all chinese people, even third generation Americans Chinese. And Chinese spying literally makes the front fucking page of the news. Who the fuck do you think you're kidding? You're completely full of shit.
Benjamin Gutierrez
And?
Steam is a western front for the FBI
Austin Bell
Reminder China is at the top of war on the digital front and employs legislature that has far reaching implications when coupled with their total disregard for foreign laws that only matters if foreign public perceive it as a non-issue. Reminder they have teams sitting at desks around the clock doing PR through "meaningful small interactions" that get you talking about the issues in a light where you and others begin to figure you really don't mind, rather than having them try to tell you that you shouldn't. Reminder most psyops require grassroots or their turf fails to spread.
Landon Cox
Yeah, because their infantry was named "red guard". That title belonged to militant organisations during the cultural revolution, by the end of it they got so out of hand that they had to be suppressed by the army and that whole endeavour is a touchy subject for china to this day.
Aiden Ortiz
Nobody here gives a fuck about epic game store, it's filled with ubishit games and other indie shit that no-one cares about, with the exception of axiom verge, probably being the only good game on there, but that's already on steam.
Levi Thompson
And Steam is American government.

>You're completely full of shit. No, I'm just not a chink so I don't give a fuck about chinks spying on chinks. Sorry that my post upset you so much, Mr. Chinaman.
