[ViewtifulJC]

Trump cancelled video games?

At long last...peace

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Uhh, wow. What the hell.

 

[AniHawk]

[Deleted member 6263]

Isn't Reddit also owned some by Tencent?

 

[daripad]

What will this mean for the games industry?

 

[Japanmanx3]

[Vertpin]

No way this goes the way he thinks it will

 

[samred]

rip Epic

 

[Milennia]

League players just had a collective heart attack

 

[Raccoon]

isn't this, like, really bad? Unreal Engine 4 development is going to be affected, no?

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

White supremacist piece of shit does what.

 

[Plankton2]

Okay so if its now illegal to make transactions with Epic.

Is any company using Unreal Engine now illegal? Because you have to pay the engine fee

 

[KernelC]

wtf is gonna happen with Epic?

 

[NLCPRESIDENT]

Umm.. wtf does this mean?

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Lmao.

 

[Lukar]

🤦‍♀️

 

[Ricelord]

lol so like 90% of games are ban now.

 

[Tahnit]

again. he actually can not do that.

 

[DjDeathCool]

Damn dude. This is huge!

Edit: I'm assuming this will go nowhere... but it's still insane.

 

[Arm Van Dam]

That's gonna fuck up the talks of Tencent buying Leyou Technologies and that might cause Sony to jump in and buy them

And you know he's doing this since Orangeman is pissed at TikTok for ruining his Tulsa rally

 

[KillstealWolf]

So umm... what does this mean for Platinum Games...

 

[Chopin the Third]

Is this going to negatively effect unreal engine?

 

[BasilZero]

FFFFFFFOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTNIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!


Press F for Fortnite

 

[RafaelTLS]

rip most of the game industry

 

[Chanser]

Ubisoft?

WTF man.

[Deleted member 925]

So all the Era users who were all about Trump banning TikTok are all for this as well, right?

 

[defaltoption]

How would this affect EPIC and anyone using unreal?

 

[JEH]

His corporate pals are going to remind him how much shit tencent owns and he'll rescind.

 

[GJ]

Is it really possible to enforce this?

 

[Deleted member 23212]

45 days until gaming ends.

 

[Rizific]

What will this mean for the games industry?

That's my question.

 

[Toumari]

Good thing Epic gives away free games anyway.

 

[Sota4077]

No way this goes the way he thinks it will

Click to shrink...

How do you think it will go? He's not coming after you if you buy something. He will go after banks and the developers and shit like that. I work in the renewable energy industry and we've been dealing with that orange chud's fuckery for the last 3 years. This is nothing new. The developers will learn to accommodate real fast.

 

[Raccoon]

I guess I should start learning Unity huh

 

[Duxxy3]

Remember when Epic was valued at like 17 billion dollars earlier today? Whelp...

 

[Razgriz417]

Anyone know if this is still correct or do they own more companies now?

Click to shrink...

 

[Ouroboros]

Is it 45 days because he is the 45th president? What an ass.

 

[ManaDuVortes]

rip Epic

Click to shrink...

We can only hope.

 

[3bada]

Yay more vague shit

 

[denx]

rip Epic

Click to shrink...

lol was thinking the same

But seriously what does this mean for the gaming industry?

 

[sibarraz]

What means "transactions" like big corporations cant make deals with those companies or that you can't know lewd outfits for Akali in LOL?

 

[danhz]

Isn't Reddit also owned some by Tencent?

Click to shrink...

[entremet]

His corporate pals are going to remind him how much shit tencent owns and he'll rescind.

Click to shrink...

[SpaceCrystal]

This will cause a riot within a lot of gaming companies & people.
