Does everyone remember how Steam banned NFT games and Epic allowed them and how that absolutely catapulted them into success over their competitor? ... no?

OK, well, but maybe this time?

Age ratings tell parents what’s in a game so they can make informed decisions for their kids. These AI statements are just as partisan as mandatory political essays or forcing developers to list their voting history to drive cancel campaigns and public struggle sessions.

Absolutely fuck this fucking guy.

As I like to say: Sucks to suck.

He calls it an "anti-technology smear campaign", and claims that it's akin to Valve forcing developers to list their political affiliation, i.e. whether they vote Republican or Democrat

Billionaires and false equivalencies, name a more iconic duo

I mean, if we're going to compare apples and oranges, how about with a metaphor that makes sense? Like how if you sell food you have to list the ingredients used

There's a real economic cost to [blah blah crybaby way of saying AI disclosures]

Yes. There is. Because informed consumers vote with their wallets. As it should be. Moron.

At this rate, all games made in Unreal will automatically need AI disclosures.

He's the Trump of the video gaming industry

One thing is for sure. Whatever happens, Tim Sweeney will never stop whining and crying online. It is as if he's taken on a challenge to take Musk's throne as the saddest, least funny online personality.

He is a great example of CEOs who would help their company image more if they never made themselves known.

More he talks the more insufferable he comes off and in return so does the company.

If it weren't for how he chose to make his personality so prominent, Epic would probably not be as hated among PC gamers.

Can someone ask this dumb fuck if he's also this upset about ingredient labels on food?

News flash, Timmy: people want to know at least a little bit about how the sausage is made, otherwise we'd all be forced to eat Soylent Green by greedy, unethical capitalist billionaires like you.

Valve understands what the customer wants, Epic simply does not.

Tim Sweeney is a professional crier.

Fuck Tim Sweeney.

Him complaining is all the proof we need that even he doesn't believe in his "fight".

Because he wants to be able to reap money from the ocean of slop games but he doesn't want his store to be the only one trying to hide the sloppiness of it.

Hey asshole, you've got your own store, and you can do whatever you want with it. But no, you can't expect to drag your competition with you at rock bottom because you think being better than you is unfair.

Isn't the entire Unreal Engine just AI slop at this point? Like the engine itself is now vibe coded?

Kinda the same with the new Unity? Might not be vibe coded itself, but they just redesigned it specifically so LLM agents can be plugged into it, right?

Tim should have been shoved into more lockers.

Go away Sweeney-weenie. Go away.

Cry harder timmy. You fuckin loser.

I think the time has come to divorce ourselves from content that can't have its provenance proven.

Truthfully I rather like the idea of having a small but very heavily documented and curated collection of media than the tidal wave of 'content' we have now.

It may take longer to get stuff but when you have something you can have all of the information about how it was made. Personally I think that would be much more fun.

No one gives a shit what he thinks.

His games aren't even on Steam. What problems does this guy have? Users should know about Ai usage in the games, and decide themselves if they want it or not. It's not up to Tim to decide. Thank god its not up to Tim to decide.

AI disclosures are the compromise. If they're not contempt with the compromise, then AI may as well be gone from art creation.

How do EGS’s investors let Tim use Twitter?

If I was at Tencent, Sony or whatever, I’d take his phone away. The sheer toxicity of this one person is, err, unreal, and just shutting him up would eliminate so much drama.

Sweeney pretending this is about indie developers is hilarious.

I think ol Tim had a lot of slop in the pipeline and this will force him to delay everything due to quality control so there aren't any six fingers and deformed faces in the background so he won't be able to release a "new" slop game every two months but considering how much of an asshole he is he still might go for it and just take the backlash.
