        Cars are going to get really terrible really soon if not already. They are becoming less of mechanical machines on wheels and more of computers on wheels. Car companies like Tesla are already harvesting every tiny bit of personal data from you as they possibly can. Other car manufacturers aren’t much better. It is truly a privacy nightmare. Any new car you get you will basically have to gut it and cut out the part that tracks everything you do.

        Epic is trying to make every game exclusive so they don’t have to compete on the market, instead of providing a service that is actually competitive.

        https://medium.com/@unfoldgames/why-i-turned-down-exclusivity-deal-from-the-epic-store-developer-of-darq-7ee834ed0ac7

        Tldr: Epic waits until a game with hype annouces a launch date on Steam, then contacts the developer saying “We would love to have you on our platform” and offers an exclusivity deal.
        Dev turns down exclusivity deal because backers were promised a Steam release.
        Sudddenly Epic has no interest in making the game available on their store if they have to actually compete with another store. Despite saying previously they would “love to have it”.

        Having it on their store as well would provide a better service for their users but that’s not what Epic is interested in.

          Oh, I see, they have been doing that for years though. I thought maybe they did something new to spice it up this year.

          This is silly. Epic Megagames out out some ridiculously great products. Jazz jackrabbit, omf, zzt, freaking UNREAL and unreal tournament. If y’all wanna hate on their recent decisions that’s fine not everyone stays good, but to say that simply existing is a reason to hate on them is redacted.

      All of the animation industry.

      Corporate enshitification and the Woke/anti-Woke debate are two very different things.
