I think it's those stupid hard coded buttons on my remote that I accidentally press every so often then have to repeatedly try and back/exit out of the stupid thing it launched that I cannot remove/uninstall from my tv.

And there's my decision not to buy an Xbox vindicated.

Rather than paying devs for old or new games perhaps Epic could put that money into making their launcher/store good?

The Epic launcher is intensely slow, I've got a 13700k, 32GB RAM, RTX 4080, stupid fast nvme SSD etc. Everything on it should be instant, why does it take ages just to load my library? Why can I not select the library to display by default?

Why is the interface so slow and horrible? Where are all the features of its competitor steam?

Why after all these years has it not seen any real improvement at all?

👆 Case in point.

"Code is the documentation"

Is the laziest excuse I've come across. Like, not everyone knows everything and complex code exists, it is not hard to put in some text explaining the basics of what something does.

Like, unless you're dealing with that code everyday it's going to look like double dutch to anyone new coming to it.

I've had people say that to me before, and it is absolutely infuriating in its laziness and cop out excuse.

For those of us who aren't American and want to at least have a semblance of a hope of keeping up with it there's a wikipedia page for the indictments.

Ah, the oldie.

I'm from Leeds, and yes all trains terminate customers here.

His name is Steve Huffman, using Spez means he gets to avoid a lot of the public criticism through google searches etc.

I wonder at what point people start taking them to court. It seems like the usual idiot tech bro excuse of thinking terms of service/use somehow override the law which is hilariously naive.

You cannot override the law in a TOS.

Like if they wrote down that they were allowed to murder you written into their TOS and proceeded to murder you they'd still go to jail for murder.

Honestly, I didn't mind them. If they had them on kbin I wouldn't mind as long as that money went to server upkeep etc. Somebody has to pay for hosting.

It really does make me wonder at what point the apollo dev does take Huffman to court for defamation.
