    he complains that if you use AI, people will boycott your product, but also

    “You have to choose from either not using tools that can make you way more productive, and probably failing due to competition that does.”

    the competition that would also be forced to disclose their AI usage and be boycotted?

    They know they cant compete so they are hoping pandering to the industry will help. He doesnt realize how little people care about Epic. Its a place to grab free games every week, and then never play any of them with.

    Timmy is a degenerate money grubbing fuck. Almost a guarantee that anything he thinks is the opposite of what’s good or right.

    Amazing. That’s pretty much the exact opposite definition of “irresponsible”. It’s almost like you think you’re entitled to everyone’s data and personal information, just like the techbros…

      its irresponsible to devs. what tim Sweeney wants is that all devs simultaneously get tired of the shit and leave steam. Epic knows it will never win consumers over so its trying all of its powers to win a majority of devs over.

      epic vs steam is ultimately a debate of dev vs consumer. steam is the weird option in the market, because consumer led monopolies are rare.

        weird debate because most people will never buy anything off Epic store just due to how big a knob they are let alone being anti consumer. devs can move if they don’t want sales i guess. imo epic is great to iron out bugs as a form of early access and taking Tim’s money, before it gets in the hands of users.

    He believes the requirement can lead to players boycotting games simply because they include AI.

    Uh huh? And?

    every time Tim criticizes valve i wonder if he realizes he’s pushing more customers away? the biggest pc gaming group loves what valve does and this dope thinks insulting their intelligence will sell people on epic store? if anything it just confirms Epic’s policies are anti-consumer

    Yeah… Even if true, I don’t think I’d trust the person/competitor who’s kicking their ass for credable info.

    According to Sweeney, forcing developers to reveal how they used AI in making their games is irresponsible and harmful to the industry. his wallet
