Incredibly brave and heroic, Epic Games continues its fight to #FreeFornite against Apple's oppressive tyranny. That is definitely the whole story. The corporate scrap between Epic and Apple is a story of freedom and sacrifice. That is, the freedom of Epic and Apple to sacrifice every innocent bystander caught in the ruckus. Oh, and Google is involved, but nobody cares about Google. Also Tencent. And Sony. And Microsoft. In fact, LOTS of people are involved in this embarrassing little media circus. And none of this is suspect or worrisome at all!

Jimmy is back again with another controversial opinion

 

[hyperbertha]

Its not a controversial opinion. Its the most correct opinion in the history of opinions.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Fortnite is the Game of the Generation.

 

[Spukc]

What a bold statement i wonder what this will lead too.
Epic bad!

 

[Ogbert]

He’s such a tiresome cunt.

 

[Birdo]

This guy should be more angry at food.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

Screaming fat man with “Fuck videogame” as the title jfc

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

Fortnite made Epic Games too POWERFUL

[Optimistic Gamer]

Imagine going to school as a video game player and your gaming does not put you at the sideline or makes you hide your hobby because it's "weird". Imagine going to school and everyone celebrates the game you love.

These kids are growing up in a better time for gamers.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Fuck Jim Sterling

 

[HE1NZ]

Not clicking or Yotuube gonna push his shit in my feed for a month.

 

[TexMex]

This guy is worse than anything Apple and Epic are doing.

 

[Bernkastel]

Although Jim's opinion is almost as safe as saying "Fuck Korean f2p MMOs", fuck whoever disagrees with him in this thread.

Not really. They grow up in an era when free to play mobile trash is all the rage and you're basically forced to compete in that space for social status, too, which mainly means spending tons of money on micro-transactions.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

If he’s of the opinion the game is shite, I agree

 

[IntentionalPun]

The video is a critique of the socio-economic issues at play, not "this game is popular and I don't like it, Fuck Fortnite!" lol

But it's about as deep as you'd expect... not very.

 

[jadefire66]

I don't even like Fortnite but this guy is a piece of shit.

 

[Tesseract]

Fortnite is the Game of the Generation.

probably, it's a phenom

there's no denying its impact, i'm not so against it as many because i think most of the mechanics are good to great

absolutely nobody in the industry iterates at epic's pace right now, some of the recent content updates are staggering

 

[Sp3eD]

I thought the video was great. It was super suspect that epic made their change and had a pretendered CG video ready to go to war. they knew exactly what they were doing...or so they thought.

My favorite part was they had no such video for apples entire deplatforming of epic and their unreal engine stuff. Surprised the fuck out of them I’m sure.

this narrative has been beaten to death already so it’s discussion doesn’t really matter.

 

[TyphoonStruggle]

Classic jimmy

 

[dottme]

Everyone is fighting for themselves. That’s normal. Nothing to see here.

 

[ShadowWolf712]

Look, I like some of what Jim does, but his coverage of this whole affair really comes across as him expressing horror that anyone could ever "side" with an eeeeevil corporation. ANY eeeeeevil corporation, really

Gives his poor little Marx-lite heart the vapors, it does.

The irony in all this, of course, being that Apple really IS Evil.

 

[Clear]

Jim's the sort of socialist that disgusted Orwell, the ones that are motivated by the hatred of the rich, and not the conditions of the working class.

In this case, that Epic winning results in lower prices for users is of less interest than him sticking it to the corporations.

 

[carlosrox]

I don't care about his opinion either way but fuck Jim.

Fuck basically any online "celebrity". IDGAF about Youtubers, Giant Bomb, Easy Allies, or any other similarly stupidly named gaming channels.

Fuck em all.

 

[Rean no Kiseki]

Although Jim's opinion is almost as safe as saying "Fuck Korean f2p MMOs", fuck whoever disagrees with him in this thread.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I mean, yeah, I loathe Fortnite 150%. I personally despise it a thousand times over and I canNOT wait for it to die. I used to respect Epic so much, but since Battle Royale I've lost quite a bit of it, if not all of it.

 

[SCB3]

I'm trying to remember the last time Jim Sterling was even relevent

Also, the fuck is he wearing, please tell me he goes out like that

 

[mitch1971]

Maybe Jim should eat an apple once in a while.

 

[tommycronin]

Jelly cunt

Don't worry. Fortnite is just a fad. People only play it because it's free and they're waiting for PUBG on console.

 

[ZywyPL]

I don't get the hate Fortnite is getting, don't like it, don't play it, simple as it is. Hundreds of millions of people across the globe are having a blast playing the game together, what's wrong with that? Or am I missing something?

Who else constantly gets their Youtube videos promoted here.

Hmmm, maybe I should start a Youtube channel. Each few days rant and rave against thing, and collect the money.

In fairness, Jim's not monetized, he's Patreon-funded.

He does spend a good bit of the video reading from that story about bad working conditions at Epic..

But it is pretty hilarious hearing someone scream about fascism and C-c-c-orporations and "changing the systems involved" and then go "but a discount on v-bucks would be nice" lol He has the depth of a puddle.

 

[Tulipanzo]

Dropped him when he started showing his ass over how little he knew over UE5. Glad he keeps going for the dumbest take

 

[Vawn]

Fuck Jim Sterling (The Vawn).

 

[djkimothy]

I’ve never really understood the appeal of it. Can’t seem to get into battle royales.

The same reason Minecraft and roblox were hated.

Dem darn younglings and industry attention diverted from sony style, story driven lesbomancy simulators.

Another day, another bunch of ass-aggrieved boomers on gaming side that have likely never touched the game, and are riding a trend, much like they normally criticize.

The game is incredibly fun, well-made, charts a course away from F2P garbage (nothing but cosmetics are purchasable, and you never need to spend a penny), delivers insane amounts of content almost every two weeks, has had some of the coolest, most insane real time events in gaming, and is constantly pushing the absolute limits on what an open world multiplayer game can be, and the corresponding storytelling.

But no, 'Fuck Fortnite.'

It figures though, with how much of cesspool gaming side has become. Most of you are too busy battling it out over which console is better and larping as grade school students, in your 40s and 50s, mind you, if that poll shows anything, that there's no actual room left for an intelligent thought beyond trend surfing, assumptions, not reading the OP, or grunting out a one-line response.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Stunning and Brave!

 

[The_Mike]

This guy should be more angry at food.

Maybe he tries to eradicate it by eating it all?

 

[imsosleepy]

I dont like fortnite that much. But my little cousin of 10 loves it and she like it when I play with her online. She has so much fun with it.
Its sad that so many grown up gamers feel the need to hate fortnite because it got so populair and alot of kids like it.
Also. Fuck fucking jim sterling. I really hate that guy and I have 0 respect for him after giving hellblade a 1 when he had 1 bug near the end of the game while he was also on metacritic with his scores.

 

[Xenon]

Everyone is fighting for themselves. That’s normal. Nothing to see here.

It's like YouTube Drama. Who cares

 

[Gold_Loot]

Without watching the video, I’m going to guess he’s shouting a popular opinion , in an ugly word salad. All while patting himself on the back and enlightening us plebs.

what a chad.

 

[INC]

I personally like the fact it keeps all the squeakers in one place

 

[xcalibersa]

He really needs to calm the fuck down and get off his high horse.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Not clicking or Yotuube gonna push his shit in my feed for a month.

You can remove him from your watch history and/or block his channel.

Now Im going to delete this post and block this thread/user.

 

[Warnen]

My brother was into fort nite for a while, tried to get me into it to but don’t really care for pvp games. Had the most fun with the team stuff (witch was a limited time thing back then dunno if it’s still in the game). The game is fine on its own really hate everything around it though, guess when something f2p can’t get around that kind of thing.

Jim is always late™.
