So, this meme is pro-surveilance and advertising based on the format. Weird flex, but I repsect taking ownership of the wrong perspective strongly.

Too weak to fight, too corrupt to step aside for those who will. Big donor dollars at work, folks.
Because it too frequently props up opposing platforms who are objectively worse for customers as a comparison, and turns out to be Tim Sweeney in a mask. One monopoly's existence doesn't justify introducing competitors with worse business models just so their CEO can get their cut of the middleman action. I care about outcomes for end users, and most of the complaints I see about steam aren't reflective of my lived experience with the platform, nor are they accompanied by actual ideas for improving the model.
Ah I did not notice that, I often listen primarily to the streams, man that's disappointing.
Heh, that's fair, I think everyone was asking that question, especially during the Red Hulk fight. Vibranium only goes so far as an explanation for superhuman feats, I think. Still there was more nuance in the story and moral goals of the movie than I noticed at the time, but it did end up feeling like kind of an empty bridge to the next MCU thing rather than its own story. Ah well, it still wasn't the worst.
Based on nothing at all I'm going to assert that Epic's CEO Tim Sweeney is directly responsible for this attack.
that's a fact
Wow finally someone who actually watched the movie and paid attention, thank you for the comment!
Just want to point out that the Marvel president did at least end up in superjail... so... Still fiction, but not entirely fascit apologia.

Actually he's a pants-shitting, trundling confluence of all of the worst possible qualities a person could have in this context: He hates American citizens and believes he is above them, and he is personally embittered by the rejection he experienced by the elites and craves spite and retribution, and is committed to the interests of rival powers by choice or by pressure, and is a brainbroke stroke victim with advanced dementia who was never actually intelligent to begin with, and also is just in all of this out of self-interest, whether that's profit, indulgence, or just plain evading prison and consequences for his many many crimes.
The issue here is that it can be, and is, many terrible things at once, but we humans tend to reduce everything to a single and primary cause... That's not wrong to do, but it does blind us to the depth of the threat he poses and the future damage he will cause.

Came here for this, we can't afford to keep using neutral language to describe malicious intent. He's not doing any of this by accident, it's what he's been paid for.
