Tim Sweeney (Epic Games): Companies should divorce from politics, Android is a fake open system, iOS is worse, "respect Gamer rights and freedoms"
- Thread starter Chairmanchuck (另一个我)
- Start date
Tim sweeney is a truly awful person, i too like my games bland and cowardly with no message. Foh
I wonder if people will still believe Tim would protect their rights if they spoke up about say the Hong Kong protests.
This sort of shit infuriates me. Not everyone is equally distant from every issue. People who aren't in the relevant minority group are free to shrug their shoulders and treat it as an academic issue, but for people who are in the group, they're dealing with issues that affect their own lives.
Statement like this basically treat everyone who isn't a straight cisgender white person as a fictional character. And people will say it to your face when you're talking about your own experiences.
It's really telling that his first thought on "things are getting too political" is him whinging about being judged over chicken sandwiches.
Also, this sentence is just another Tim Sweeney 180. The same guy who's saying that there shouldn't be walled gardens is having a close store which moneyhat games. And you know what's even more rich ?
The man saying "We shouldn't have politics" is the same man who was whining because Alex Jones was banned from Twitter. :)
Fucking hypocrite, transparent as fuck.

I do actually like the idea of non political games in theory. Sometimes I deal with so much shit that I could do with some escapism that's so alien that it doesn't remind me of people like me being discriminated, about how I have to use my middle name when applying to jobs so that I actually get people to look at it (lol) and stuff like that.
...But unfortunately it's really fucking hard to make apolitical games because nearly everything is political in way or another, especially in story heavy games. Even in a game that doesn't feature humans it can be pretty hard to not make a political statement because writers will generally represent their stances on morality one way or another. So much as I think that sometimes apolitical games would be fun, in any story heavy game it will get pretty hard. (I say story heavy games because, say, I don't really see much politics in Gladiabots). So to me it sounds like an impossible concept to start with, imo.

What an absolute fucking idiot. Games without political messages are games with political messages in favor of a status quo.
I wonder why he blames the people choosing not to go to a restaurant rather than the owners who use that restaurant as a vehicle for their religious and political ideology for injecting politics into chicken restaurants.
Tim Sweeney is a fake human being and a PoS.
EGS has never received a penny from me, nor will they ever.
Because he's a right-wing asshole and right-wing assholes think their shit don't stink. They think they're the heroes.

He kinda had a point with the mobile platform stuff and also spot on with loot boxes, but holy shit that right turn into gamergate material is cringe as fuck.
Define "politics." I'm not sure which games he's getting mad about but most games still are very apolitical. I can't really name popular ones that aren't also silly.
That's the kicker.
Okay, Tim. You want politics out of your chicken sandwhich place? Fine. Just tell the owners to stop funding organizations that are political. And when I say political, I mean the kind of political that might kill LGBT folks.
Name me an apolitical game and I'll explain how it's still proporting a political viewpoint.
