Tim Sweeney interview on Eurogamer.
Bit of a bland interview from the skim read i did. Couldn't see anything new. But wont get a proper chance to read until much later.

I still have 191 UbiCoins left to redeem before they expire, and I already exchanged a discount code and bought everything that can be bought for The Division 2 aaaaaa
3-4 months between episodes isnt that bad
Can they be traded or used on purchases for other people? Serious question, not begging I dont uplay enough to know
7) Valve have bought Epic games store and stopped all the nonsense.
I read the Sweeney interview, and yeah, just a bunch of PR speak. There is one part where he talks about revenue split on games, and said that in some instances a store would end up making more money off of a game than a developer; which is 100% bullshit. He makes it sound like Valve has just been robbing developers of an income, and Epic is the savior of the PC gaming market.
Yeah i read it, I think he is either wilfully lying or deluded.
Oh Sweeney going for the "we're not doing this for the money but because we're ethically motivated and we want to fix a problem" route.
If there's ONE thing I hate about tech companies it's when they try to push this idiotic narrative to market their stuff.

I don't think either company has enough money to buy the other on their own. Plus neither would be willing to sell.
IIRC Epic is about two times bigger (going from the market cap).
Well if you're curious, here is that full Rami Ismail interview that was teased the other day. He doesn't really say much outside of "fuck Valve, but also they do some good things. Epic does some bad things, but also good things. Also, we shouldn't segregate games by stores." He also believes people's main issues with Epic lies with multiple launchers.
I guess the last part I don't get is why do developers think the 30% cut is so unfair? They do realize hosting all these games and features are not free, right? Plus that 30% goes towards maintenance and upgrading data centers and stuff like that.

well they're still good games
i don't make threads but yes
Wondering if I should grab AC Odyssey Ultimate Edition for that AC3 Remaster.
I am. Actually interesting things, like proper new features and whatnot is exactly want I want from Valve here.
Yeah, keep your expectations in check people. There might be some VR and Steam client updates, at absolute most.
The conference will have:
-New UI and how it affects marketability of games (more focus on events and streaming)
-New currencies roadmap and talk about how important is the Chinese market.
-New API for crossplatform support and Servers
-Some talk about VR and Steam with the knuckles announcement.
It might have:
+reduction of store cut to 25%.
+some talk about r18 games and restrictions on it

Saw it on twitter and loved it, traumatized Reed will return sooneth
Yup it looks pretty cool.
New Dawn doesnt have a discount, only if you buy it with FC5 as a bundle, Ubi you sneaky motherfucker.
And pls dont remove them from Steam.
That's pretty much the only negative for Ubi with this deal, but even then it drives more people to their store. Ubi is getting stacks of cash just to make Epic look like the bad guy.
