Why do I feel like no good can come of this?
Because everything involved with Epic is a dumpster fire.
They do be like that.
Played Lego Fortnite yesterday - a Frankenstein monster combined from two shitty entertainment companies. It’s hilariously unfathomably buggy.
I don’t know if I’ve missed something but what makes Lego shitty?
Their games are notoriously bad. They simply rely on their fantastic reputation irl and can’t give a fuck about making good games - they sell enough games, even of the worst, just because they’re Lego.
Sooo… they’re not a shitty company, they just make games that you don’t like.
Two great tastes that taste great together.
It’s 2024 can we stop pretending headlines like these are some kind of potential indicator of good rather than just putting pins in a map for the sake of records where billion dollar companies ravage mile wide swathes through forests of smaller functional companies and destroy everything good about them?
Yes I know in this particular case Epic is already a dysfunctional massive trashfire but this will just accelerate the enshittification into more of a drag race.
I need to see Goofy dropping a MFer with a shotgun
Goofy would probably drop the gun and make an impossible ricochet shot in the process.
I’d like to hear Donald Duck talk shit and be toxic to his teammates.
Get Minnie teabagging. “Who’s the bitch now? Teehee.”
“I’ll fuckin’ do it again!”
Can one take a stake in a company? Or do they buy a stake in a company by purchasing shares? Why can’t we just use the words that are meant for the thing we’re describing?
Taking a stake implies that they just yoink grab it and it’s theirs. Buying a stake means spending money to own a share. Maybe it’s a silly technicality, but words matter goddamnit.
Disney had great success with the Unreal Engine and The Volume. They obviously had a great partnership and see it being closer for a wider range.
Maybe this explains the sudden burst of Star Wars content in Rocket League?
I’m guessing none of these shares were purchased from Tencent’s 40% stake? That’s often been the main reason I limit my interaction with Epic where possible.
Mickey Mouse is about to get a Victory Royale.
