Ip was stolen by corporate suits
Pirating the game is the most moral thing you can do
Wow, can you say in brief what happened?
They made the IP and game, their parent company had a full change in leadership, they questioned what qas happening, and the new guys said “yoink” before kicking them out
That’s a bit of a different presentation than “stole” just saying.
It was initially an artist-owned company, which had a hostile takeover against the wishes of said artists
Not sure how you’d define it as anything other than stole
Because it sounds like they were employees not IP owners
That’s not what this was about?
They made an IP, a minor share holder used company funds to buy majority states in said company, then forced the guys who made the game out of the company. I’m not able to do investigative journalism in a comment, but there is still an ongoing legal case on this
That’s more informative, thank you.
I’m not pretending to be any kind of expert, as you can tell from my initial inquiry I’m not familiar with this, I was only responding to the way it was portrayed to me in comments.
on Epic
No thanks I’d rather pirate it
Outstanding game. Easy recommend if you haven’t played it
It’s a great game, but not the masterpiece everyone told me.
No game can ever satisfy everyone. But just because it wasn’t for you doesn’t mean it’s not one of the greatest RPGs ever. I didn’t enjoy clair obscur like I thought I would, but I’m not gonna pretend it’s not an amazing game.
He literally said that it was a great game.
Oh yeah I fully agree that no game can satisfy everyone.
It’s just that, before playing it myself, I never heard a bad thing about it so I might have expected too much out of it.
Still I enjoyed it, even if it’s not a game I’ll recommend to everyone.
Chill out he said it was great. And I also agree with him, its not a masterpiece like everyone is making it out to be.
I’m quite chill… just pointing out the difference between fact and opinion. And besides, who gets to decide what is a masterpiece and what isn’t one if not “everyone”?
Not you for starters.
Same.
The writing wastes a LOT of time. Yes, I get it, that’s the vibe they want to set, but the vibe was set like 5 minutes ago, and all you’ve done since is print synonyms for “drunk asshole.”
It’s also paraded as pro-communist media, and it really isn’t at all. People are so capitalist-brained, that any game which places communism and capitalism on equal footing, pointing out the faults in both and mocking them relentlessly, is somehow “pro-communist.” In particular, the games plot-relevant example of a die-hard communist is not someone to aspire to. Neither are the capitalists or fascists, but that’s kind of the point: it’s hard to say it supports any political viewpoint when it shits on everyone fairly equally.
Honestly, I wanted and expected a lot more out of it. Particularly in the ending.
Though it was absolutely worth the playthrough. It’s a fantastic game, just not this pinnacle of writing the way the internet plays it off to be.
I’m looking forward to more people experiencing this game.
Thanks, been waiting to play this one.
Though, epic Games licks ass. I’d rather buy it on steam right now for less than $5.

*kicks ass?
Nope. Licks. Hate epic Games launcher and all that BS.
Ahh, got it - it sucks ass
See what ass-eating culture hath wrought?
If it’s only the launcher, maybe take a look at Legendary, a command line tool to download and lauch games from the epic store. If you don’t want to bother with the command line, heroic launcher uses it and theres also a plugin for Playnite.
I own it on Steam. It supports the Mac on Steam. I wonder if Epic offers the Mac version. (Epic is at war with Apple over iPhone stuff. The Mac has always allowed their stuff, but they stopped supporting it as protest.) Claimed either way. Doesn’t hurt anything.
