Only for games made with UE, so probably doesn’t affect the majority of smaller/indie games. Instead, Epic should keep the fees and reinvest in their platform since it looks and feels like EA’s Origin circa 2015.

Claim to have, sure. But actually have, probably few, at least until that have to start dealing with the condition.

After the DJ Khaled episode I knew nothing else would be as entertaining for me so I stopped there

How long ago did you think? He’s been in all the John Wick movies and they’ve been around since 2014

I can agree that challenging Steam is probably a good thing, but right now Steam just gives so much more value to Devs and publishers. Steam provides:

  • a review system
  • remote play
  • the workshop
  • discussion threads
  • cards and the points store

and that’s just what I can think of, not including the player specific stuff like library sharing.

Devs and publishers pay more, but get a community and ecosystem in return instead of just a platform.

There’s no simple answer to that since games become inaccessible in different ways and with different severities. It’ll always be an argument you have to make.

It’s true that playing for money is a huge part of playing poker at all, both casually and professionally. Does that mean a game just teaching poker hands should be considered as adult as actual gambling? If so, a game like The Binding of Isaac should get the same 18+ as Balatro since it has actual slot machines that you put money into, but instead it gets a 16+.

It’s not about the number of years, it’s about how accessible the original title is. The less accessible, the better you can justify the existence of emulating that title
