  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.

    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 where billion dollar companies ravage a mile wide hole through forests of smaller functional companies and destroy everything good about them? Yes I know in this particular case Epic is already a trash company but this will just accelerate the enshittification into more of a drag race.

  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.

    I’d like to hear Donald Duck talk shit and be toxic to his teammates.

      Get Minnie teabagging. “Who’s the bitch now? Teehee.”

    Goofy would probably drop the gun and make an impossible ricochet shot in the process.

  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.
