As I like to say:
Sucks to suck.

ROFL Given the vibe-coded disaster of the Epic Store on Linux, he has bigger things to be concerned about. Like fixing his own mess. By hand, with actual humans programming and resolving issues. Catching a vibe won't save Epic, real human effort will. What a loser.

Age ratings tell parents what’s in a game so they can make informed decisions for their kids. These AI statements are just as partisan as mandatory political essays or forcing developers to list their voting history to drive cancel campaigns and public struggle sessions.

Absolutely fuck this fucking guy.

Tim Sweeney is a professional cryer.

He's the Trump of the video gaming industry

He calls it an "anti-technology smear campaign", and claims that it's akin to Valve forcing developers to list their political affiliation, i.e. whether they vote Republican or Democrat

Billionaires and false equivalencies, name a more iconic duo

I mean, if we're going to compare apples and oranges, how about with a metaphor that makes sense? Like how if you sell food you have to list the ingredients used

Does everyone remember how Steam banned NFT games and Epic allowed them and how that absolutely catapulted them into success over their competitor? ... no?

OK, well, but maybe this time?

Honestly, could we have those too? I would love to have that.

Also, I would honestly cheer if valve made all the companies disclose campaign donations..

Little bitch just wants to make money by selling AI generated slop without having to tell you it’s AI generated slop

I don't care if a game is made with AI as long as it's good. I also don't care if there's a disclosure so others can make their own decision. Tim is an idiot.

Capitalists - consumers guide the market by making informed ethical purchasing decisions.

Also capitalists - labeling requirements? Absolutely not.

It's a great "better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool than to talk and remove all doubt" moment. He can't help himself, it's like the more power and money someone has, the more time they have to imagine how they're victims.

But I like to know who is an awful person so I can avoid them, so thanks Tim.

"Why do we have to list ingredients, you can't even taste the poison!"

Just as partisan as these things I have made up in my head!

Idiot could have made bank on goodwill if he donated to Heroic development, but chose to shoot himself in the foot with a hallucination gun instead lmao

I would very much like to filter developers by affiliation and not give fascists money, actually. Thanks for the idea, good guy, Tim Sweeney.

Now you just made me think that at some point, there's going to need to be a The Jungle for gaming. There's going to be some kind of exposé on different major game developers and how they use AI and other shitty practices to make the most addicting games.
