People who proudly boast about how they never spend a dime on Epic Games, in their store, but has hundreds of free games to play with no intent to play them. Like, I don’t know who is supposed to be impressed by that. Not to mention, that’s not really a good method of protesting if you’re someone who hates Epic Games.

You’re still spending the time and effort, not to mention even bothering to have an account with them to begin with, to redeem free games that they give away. Who are you seriously trying to impress or what message are you trying to convey? Because all I see are contradictions and ironies.

    ‘I have an iPhone’

    Or conversely: ‘I don’t have an iPhone’

    Nobody cares what brand of rectangle you use.

      you don’t, but they do.

      i have an iphone and an android. it freaks most people out because you have to be ONE OR THE OTHER.

      freaks them out even more when I tell them I’m bisexual.

        I get your point but in my experience android works well with other android. Apple works well with other apple. Mixing them and everything seems barely useable. Like using a android phone to control an Apple TV.

      Reminds me of the console wars, when one kid would tout the power of their console, while the other would tout how it had better games.

        people still do that everyday here on fedi. it’s just steam/playstation/nintendo now.]

        everyday here you can find multiple threads of posters console war posturing over who has the better/cheaper games, who is a shitty company, who is the best ‘value’ for money, etc.

        and everyone just bias-confirms and says anyone who doesn’t own the same console as them is stupid and dumb and wrong.
