Humble Bundle Partners With Epic Games

Devs can be a credible source. A tweet from a shitty streamer talking about "anonymous messages" it's definitely not.

While I can be thankful for reading credible information about epic practices, reading boogie and credibility it's, for me person and I'm sorry, a waste of time.

I do dislike the guy for his practices, he and all of those YouTubers who actively use the "depression" card.

I apologize if my first messages was hostile like I think Sooth may said.

Boogie definitely it's not a good source and I won't spread people towards his ads and clickbait content.

Epic also pays the devs for the "free" games that come out every 2 weeks.

Absolutely unrelated to the original topic of paying for exclusivity and Boogie, but are we surprised by this at all?
Many news site liked to twist around the message into the Epic hating and not caring about players, but Epic said that they are trying to win by game selection and not by services. Because Steam (even with many services struggling and being subpar) has such a headstart that it is logical that Epic tries to get some advantage on another field.
They use the money to give out games (in their name - that's why they pay the devs to encourage it,) to get timed exclusives and to get deals like uPlay + Epic only Ubi games by offering a better share for the devs-publishers. And in the meanwhile they try to make their system more viable with additional services.

My point was, regardless of how it was presented, Silverio had a reasonable perspective, and you presented a needlessly roundabout and rude response on something you could have clarified much more simply and productively; Likewise, it's still a bit unclear as to why you did, in fact, address the topic with that particular approach.

That said, given what a quick [and thereby perhaps lacking] google search returns on Boogie (with some of his actions being clearly inappropriate, while other actions are overemphasized by detractors but are then validated by Boogie's poor response to the detractors), Silverio's concerns seem justified, while the manner of your own response only further loses validity.

If you're not willing to address the moral or ethical considerations related to your source, and your source is both less detailed and less credible than a previous source, and you respond with hostility and an unwillingness to change to the superior source.. Well, there's just really no way to interpret that as anything other than support for whatever negative viewpoints your source is associated with.

I can think of several methods of brushing off the matter and defusing any tension, that could have been taken instead.

That said, even without any considerations of ideological involvement, if you reference a source of any sort, you have to be willing to address any considerations involved with that source. Responding the way you did just isn't suitable regardless of the underlying factors, even before we account for the expectations of conduct that an individual in a position of authority should be keeping in mind.

Doesn't take a cult to realize that Steam's less likely to fail than any other digital video game storefront currently in existence...

Why the hell are both sides so stupid? It's either one extreme or the other. Either Epic can fail and for some reason Steam just can't or preferring Steam is a cult now. Imagine if other arguments devolved into this nonsense. "You don't like the death penalty? So you'd instead set the criminals free and allow them to commit crimes?" or "You like the death penalty? So when a toddler takes a lollipop from a store by grabbing it and not letting it go, will you shoot it because of shoplifting?"

Can we not just be even a tiny bit rational for a moment?

Some language notes, for anyone who may find them beneficial:

Bethesda has a launcher but it failed soo much, so now they return to steam with all their upcoming game and will release soon the exclusive games too, those games won't be on epic which not a surprise based on past conflicts between epic and Bethesda.

All launcher can fail, however, I remember so valve stated in past if they will ever go out of business they give time to players to download games and all those games will be playable still through an offline client, I don't remember the exact interviews and don't have the links to it. Epic never stated such things and their EULA is one of the most dangerous I have ever seen in my life.

I personally will never buy games through epic, not because of steam or valve fanboying but because for me, as an end user, they provide the best service and I still can find enough games on steam. Epic can't buy out all games, there will be still enough games on steam and the timed exclusives will expire too.

The only annoying thing which will affect me is when humble start to add epic keys to monthlies, I guess that will be the end of my subscription.

yeah, I used it briefly when Quake Champions came out.
