Abso-fucking-lutely not. Thatâll be the death of epic and unreal engine as we know it if it ever happened. And why team up with Google if you know theyâll abandon it in 2-3 years?

Yeah first thing they probably do is end the free games and without it I wouldnât have any games on Epic nor use the platform. It would suck.

The loss of unreal would be rough for the industry. Weâd be better off without Epic, but not without unreal
Pretty much the majority of (large) single player games in development or recently released have been unreal properties. Itâs by far the best game engine for its use cases

This is it. Most games beyond small scope/indie projects start in Unreal.
Unreal or Unity, and one of those recently became not really an option.
I think itâs in everyoneâs interest to have more variety in engine choice, but that just leads to everyone only being familiar with their proprietary engine implementation.
Godot is trying to break in, and seems to be picking up some steam though

Yes, comical that Valve secured exlusivity of an already-on-sale third-party game to try to drive support of their nascent digital store more than a decade before Epic did it and you fanboys are all just okay with it because you werenât there.
You all try to pretend that Epic invented this sort of exclusivity on PC, but itâs been a thing for years and years before they even opened their store. But go on and bury your head in the sand even further about it, Iâm sure GabeN will be your bff if you do it hard enough!

One school of thoughts is companies go through eras of profiting from inflation and eras of profiting from M&As. Guess an uptick in M&A would suggest they're no longer increasing profits from inflation?

The Epic v Google lawsuit is bringing to light a lot of interesting tidbits of info, so I think it's just that. It's an interesting tidbit, but not really relevant to much outside the trial. That said, I do like seeing this kind of info shared, as it gives us a peek behind the curtain of these megacorps' operations.

Epic does a lot good things that arenât competing with the de facto monopoly on pc game sales.

Why you so interested in killing Valve and GOG?

I can tell folks here didn't read the article. These talks were in 2018, when Stadia was still a thing.
Had to check to see if Stadia even existed in 2018 (it did), because itâs totally plausible for it to have come and gone in less time
Wonder what the point of sharing this article is

Also they discussed approaching Tencent internally, they didnât actually make plans with them. The title sort of implies they were both in talks.
