      I still can’t believe he basically ruled game engines after Carmack shot himself in the foot with IdTech Doom3 and megatextures, and fumbled the fucking ball this hard.

      He’s literally sitting on fortnite money ON TOP and STILL FUCKING UP.

      HOW?!

        When you’re on top, it’s easy to insulate yourself from anyone willing to tell you, “No, that’s a stupid idea!”

        You get rich, surround yourself with yes men and decend into narcissism and delusion. Lost touch with reality.

      No way that actually happened that’s hilarious. I’m guessing it just launched the first game that was installed alphabetically or something?

      I mean, it depends on who’s using it, but usually. Do you think epic decently implemented features with AI? Because I doubt it. They can’t even set resolution properly.

    I tried the update on two different machines (one with a SATA SSD boot drive, other with M.2), and my Steam startup time is still about 15 seconds on both.

      It been downhill since they went Electron, I don’t remember the old app taking more than 3 to 4 seconds. Since the Electron client loading times have been unpredictable sometimes 5-10 seconds and sometimes to around 30 seconds even though no updates available.

      Even if they did, they didn’t:

      • tell everyone they won’t replace their employees with ai

      • fire like 2000 employees

      • throw the rest under the bus because “programming hard”

      • deliver a terrible product that is at least 10 years behind the competition they compared themselves with
