If you support free speech, you must support people pinging other users. It's completely legal speech. If you won't defend pinging as free speech because you or someone else finds it disgusting, then no speech that you or anyone else views as disgusting is safe.

if it is in fact on shaky legal ground it's reasonable to not want to be the case that establishes it as illegal.

It's not, The reddit admins are straight up lying to the ignorant (like yourself) to justify their prejudice. Pinging being protected speech has long since been estabilished, as it has undeniable artistic merit. The only time it's been included under any obscenity laws is when someone is being charged with possession of harassment, so the state can slap them with more charges. The courts have been very careful to not charge anyone for pinging, because they'd get their asses fucking annihilated by a higher court due to the firm precedence of pinging being completely legal speech. /r/Drama had nothing to worry about, this guy was just making shit up to fool people into thinking his censoring wasn't entirely personally motivated.

I am a long time PC g-slur (like 25+ years) and have watched this industry evolve countless times in that time span. I honestly do not understand the hate surrounding the Epic Store. It's just another platform like Steam, Uplay, Origin, and Battle.net. And - what's more - they are actually giving away free, quality games. What's not to love?

I have literally never used any of the extra features on steam that people cry about when complaining about epic. And I would wager most people are like me. Considering how bland, boring, and amazingly average I am.

But dude how can I play games on a launcher that doesn't have one-sentence joke reviews and agenda-driven review bombing??

Good goy. Download my filthy Chinese spyware and give me money.

Nigga the Chinese don't give a fuck about your Loli collection

Honestly its just a shit store front that's only good for free games

I don't hate Epic, I just don't want PC gaming to slowly morph into the shit that console users have to put up with. The sky isn't falling but the whole thing does leave me a bit sour.

Yeah because downloading a free launcher to play an "exclusive" is just like buying a $400 piece of hardware to play God of war

Gaymers continue to be the most persecuted minority once again

Bruh.wav_67 . Is this the final straw for the gaymer uprise?

Oh it's just boringlands. Nothing of value lost.

Unbased borderlands is a good gaym

no it isn't.

I’m not sure why “no” isn’t a slur but I really don’t appreciate it.

Thanks

I still am amazed I managed to sink 300 hours into borderlands 2. One day I was playing and I just thought, "wow, what an atrociously boring waste of time" and never played it again.

it's a skinner box. that's all. it's literally the same concept as people addicted to slot machines. the game is designed in a way to keep players addicted to that loop of gaining new, shinier loot despite it all being percentage increases to factors that don't matter.

they're atrociously bad, poorly designed and nerds love it because it's the same shit over and over again, and g-slurs love that.

Good points. And it seems my comment has attracted the ire of the local g-slur fauna. It's over for celcels

just dont play it its so fucking easy to not be affected by this EGS debacle. devs prefer money over you you fat g-slur
