    Why do people keep quoting this guy? His whole gimmick is saying asshole things to stay in the media. Just stop talking to losers like him and they go away.

      I dunno, letting the him stay in the media for saying pedophole comments seems like a reasonable thing to do, least someone might not know what his stance is.

    So he’s politicising child abuse material now, and associating it with the political right. He’s not incorrect, but it seems like he needs to think before he opens his idiot mouth.

      no, hes saying banning child porn is equivalent to “Censoring” political opponents=right wingers violating TOs.

    Jesus this guy really always finds a way to dig deeper in the abyss doesn’t he? Why does anyone even listen to him anymore?

      I honestly don’t think anyone does listen to him. He’s just shouting into the void at this point.

      I would be genuinely interested how many industry professionals actually bothered to subscribe to him vs other studio bosses. I’ve never heard of him post anything industry related, it’s always just ranting like this.

    I wonder if he’d ‘gatekeep’ if started making ai-generated Epic Games?

    When he ports Fortnite to Linux, that’s when I’ll listen to his director, Epic.😆😆😆

    I feel so good I left Epic Games Store and deleted my profile and asked to delete all my data last year!

      They definitely deleted all that data, too.

    Maybe something happens to this guy. Maybe he retires to a beachfront property.

    Stop listening or giving CEOs a place to spread their rhetoric. They have one goal in mind and it has nothing to do with making the world better.

    This is a CEO who shares opinions on many things he is truly uninformed on.

      His argument is that he can’t read notes, so people who can read notes shouldn’t

    I don’t know if people are just not recognizing the metric fuckton of nuance with this situation, or they’re being willfully ignorant. Either way, not my monkeys, not my circus.
