They suck so much even the slop machine out coded their devs

Damn man, how bad are they at their job?!

Vibe-coding a program that manages and deletes massive amounts of files, what could possibly go wrong?

I thought you were jokingly rephrasing a quote, but no that's actually the very first paragraph jfc

Dont forget the line "advanced shopping features like a cart"

I can't believe Tim Swiney is this fucking dumb. My expectations were on the floor and he got a shovel.

I understand that LLMs are useful tools for programming, that they churn stuff out fast and whatever.

But I so hate this anti-intellectual, exuberant embrace of ignorance. It's one thing to vibecode out of necessity (those single dev slop projects), or to say you're doing agentic engineering or whatever cleanup label, but it's so frustrating for them to purely vibecode and not even try to hide it. And then to expect us to think it's cute.

That is such whiplash from the culture of engineering excellence Epic was known for.

That's such a Tim Sweeney move

He's not just crawling back, he's actively trying to ruin Linux by introducing kernel-level spyware.

Wine is still your best bet.

since we're talking about Epic here hard liquor might be better

They swapped from one game you've probably heard of to two obscure indie games each week a while back, but yeah it's still going on. They're almost all forgettable outside of December, when they give out one game a day for the Advent calendar and a AAA game for Christmas.

They also have a rotation of three free developer assets every few weeks. Most of those are licensed for use in any engine, so it's a good resource for game developers to follow even if they don't use Unreal.

They still do it, but it's far less likely to be a game you've heard of and would have been willing to spend money on in the first place.

This isn't how you do it. Compromising an OS with kernel level anti cheat isn't the compromise I'm willing to make just to get some gamers to switch off a terrible OS.

It's the official client, but I also doubt Heroic will play as nicely with live service games like Fortnite. There's a decent chance that if you only play offline games, Heroic might remain better.
