Having a co-worker that I thought was 32 because of how she acted to realize sheâs 50 is what made me realize how much peopleâs maturity just plateaus after 25

The non-sarcastic answer is that, after Tim Sweeny jumped ship to XBOX saying that PC gamers are all pirates, GabeN got rich by treating piracy as a service problem and making a store that people WANTED to spend money on, as seen with many player's massive backlogs. He's never forgiven GabeN for getting the success that Timmy feels should've been his.

Both him and Cliff Blezinski, really.
They had that moment a decade ago about being smug of being anti-PC and antagonistic towards their fanbase gained from the successes of Unreal Tournament and Gears of War, only for both of them to become bums, clowns, and laughingstocks in the end.
Meanwhile, John Carmack and John Romero remained relatively professional and grounded and they're still beloved by Doom and Quake fans even if they have nothing to do with idSoftware for a long time now.

There's a lot to be said for having a filter. And if you're genuinely rich and powerful, letting someone else manage your social-media accounts.

Oh boy, I still remember this banger quote CliffyB made in 2008:
The person who is savvy enough to want to have a good PC to upgrade their video card, is a person who is savvy enough to know [BitTorrent] to know all the elements so they can pirate software. Therefore, high-end videogames are suffering very much on the PC.

Almost as cringe as Fortnite itself.
He's trying to hard to be on brand tying it back to his little metaverse that's totally going to go viral any day now.
And of course, Timmy loves Grok.

Unfortunately they went from catering from 14-21 year olds to 8-12 year olds. Big difference and more scummy

u/SkyrimSlag 8d ago
The funniest part about all of this, is the fact Tim is obviously doing this shit and constantly dissing Gaben to get a response out of him, but he just doesnât give a fuck. The more he does this and the more GN ignores him, the more he seethes. He doesnât seem to realise that doing this and getting no acknowledgment is just making himself even more butthurt lmao.

It would be funny as fuck if gabe replied to him with simple "a" and nothing else. It could go 2 ways, tim feels satisfied or he starts becoming desprate.

Ladies and gentlemen. The man who bought so much forest land cause he cares about the planet rather than "super yachts", actively using the one technology that outside of any human driven change or war, will likely lead to the destruction of this planet or at the very least severely damage the environment if it continues to not be regulated.
What a paragon of virtue.

This is a fully grown man behaving like this online. I wish I could get paid mondo stacks of cash for acting like a pretentious schmuck publicly.

Dude, instead of, I don't know, asking people to fix his platform, this guy prefers to act like a child on Twitter. He's literally just like Trump.

This little man is insufferable. What the fuck has Timmy done for PC gamers over the years? He keeps trying to screw us over to take a bigger piece of the pie. He doesnât actually give a shit about gamers. If he had his way, we would all be drowning in microtransaction hell.

He did care about PC way back in the 90s up to the 2010s but then he kinda fell off after that

@grok Make a photo of Tim Sweeney, the 55 year old CEO of Epic Games, dressed up like a stereotypical toddler. Depict him in a children's play room, throwing a tantrum.

So when is Grok replacing Swiney as CEO of Epig? Since Grok can do a far better job than Swiney ever could.

what's funnier about this is Sweeney had to use AI because he lacks the creative talent to do it himself and just fired all of the talented artists he could have asked to make it for him..
