    Can this guy just shut up already? We really need to stop posting articles every time this dipshit let’s a fart loose. Every article is either “Tim hates Valve and its very obvious he feels insecure” or “Tim is defending AI as if there is a gun to his head” or both. Can’t these CEO types just be satisfied at never needing to lift anything for the rest of their lives? They need to be loved and adored or admired. Its pathetic. (Also never forget Tim defended grok and its generating of CP)

      It would be nice for all of us who’ve known he’s a dipshit for years, but there’s always new people coming along that haven’t realized yet.

      I’d rather have to see more articles about some dumb thing he said, than to live in a world where I’m in an increasingly small club of people who know he’s an idiot.

    wasn’t anything an excuse for Sweeney to attack Valve and their flagship brand? And by extension, wouldn’t such a news be like reporting the sun has dawned?

    he complains that if you use AI, people will boycott your product, but also

    “You have to choose from either not using tools that can make you way more productive, and probably failing due to competition that does.”

    the competition that would also be forced to disclose their AI usage and be boycotted?

      I think he means with competition that does use it and does not disclose

      The problem I see is that there is no way to prove the AI was used for the codebase. So unless someone from the team leaks, yeah, you can make an unfair competition.

        if your competition can lie, so can you

        but if you spend so long making a game, you likely would not want to risk it being removed for breaking the rules

    They know they cant compete so they are hoping pandering to the industry will help. He doesnt realize how little people care about Epic. Its a place to grab free games every week, and then never play any of them with.

    every time Tim criticizes valve i wonder if he realizes he’s pushing more customers away? the biggest pc gaming group loves what valve does and this dope thinks insulting their intelligence will sell people on epic store? if anything it just confirms Epic’s policies are anti-consumer

    Timmy is a degenerate money grubbing fuck. Almost a guarantee that anything he thinks is the opposite of what’s good or right.

    Amazing. That’s pretty much the exact opposite definition of “irresponsible”. It’s almost like you think you’re entitled to everyone’s data and personal information, just like the techbros…

      its irresponsible to devs. what tim Sweeney wants is that all devs simultaneously get tired of the shit and leave steam. Epic knows it will never win consumers over so its trying all of its powers to win a majority of devs over.

      epic vs steam is ultimately a debate of dev vs consumer. steam is the weird option in the market, because consumer led monopolies are rare.

        weird debate because most people will never buy anything off Epic store just due to how big a knob they are let alone being anti consumer. devs can move if they don’t want sales i guess. imo epic is great to iron out bugs as a form of early access and taking Tim’s money, before it gets in the hands of users.

    According to Sweeney, forcing developers to reveal how they used AI in making their games is irresponsible and harmful to the industry. his wallet

    FTFY

      It’s just another case of him having a hate boner for Valve. Years ago, he asked Valve to do something via email and Valve ghosted him while doing the exact opposite.

      His behavior and attitute towards Valve, in my opinion, is consistent with somebody who has hurt feelings and a grudge. There are actually legitimate things to criticize Valve over, but him having a go at the things that benefit consumers instead of devs just makes him look like a giant anti-consume douche.

    There isn’t really a way to tell anymore and it’s probably used broadly. Eventually, devs will simply hide it and people will go back to judging something on the enjoyment it procures them.
