Remember, this man is worth over seven billion dollars.

Savior of PC Gaming right there. Defense force, this is the CEO you are defending.
What's the context here? Is this in reference to the current Steam sale gamification?No this is not fake. And yes, he really did tweet this:
I guess, but I can't really remember a particular time when the PC gaming community went to bat for FIFA lootboxes...
I guess he's equating Fortnite players with PC gamers and is saying that Fortnite players love loot boxes because Epic makes a lot of money from them?
Or else I have no idea what he's talking about.
This flippant attempt at some kind of joke response to the situation just further solidifies the impression below.

I really need some logical context for why he'd tweet that. I'm surprised he'd want to bring up loot boxes at all given the monetization in his Fortnite, even if he's just making a joke (is this a joke?). It's doubly weird because it's a reference to a hearing where his own company had a representative making similarly ridiculous and quotable claims. Maybe he just doesn't care about image anymore and is going for the most boisterous tweets he can to grab attention. Sort of a familiar style from modern politics...
Maybe because FIFA is a console oriented game? The PC community fought against Payday 2 lootboxes for example.
By stealing another game's idea and filling it with other stolen shit (like dance moves).
I know they're a successful middleware company, but come the fuck on.
Shameless self-quote:
Sweeney is obfuscating the situation as best he can as he doesn't actually want to fix it. As others have pointed out, the reason Epic has set its sights on successful crowdfunding campaigns is that buying backers = buying customers.

Tim saying sorry. Is that a normal occurrence or we will hear it more often especially after Epic clarify all of Tim's claims about Valve causing issues to Shenmue Kickstarter?

Lazy Valve holding everything back by not issuing a statement on a situation they didn't create and have no responsibility for.
Can we photoshop a meme of Gabe Eating Crackers for every time Timmy boy brings up Valve doing something wrong when they didn't do anything?
Gonna be a problem for future sales. Every single media drop and preview's going to be overrun with justified bitching about Epic/Deep Silver/Ys Net.
Translation, they're trying to figure out who's gonna pay for refunds, or take the blame.
Answer: No refunds, they will blame Valve.
lmao, I doubt it.
You'll see the usual "it's just another launcher" crap, or calling fans petty (like EZA)
Well, I'll do my part.
I love EZA but they're pretty out of touch when it comes to PC issues.
I bet you more often than not it will.
I don't know about that, it's not a small amount of fans that are pissed and people have long memories for things like that
Epic getting all of the money is actually top secret good for gamers - you see this way Epic gets all of the money! Thank you I'll have a comment out for you sometime this decade maybe
I just want clarification so I can switch my backer selection to PS4 for resale purposes. I'd prefer a refund of course, but I don't see it happening. Actually at this point I probably won't play the game at all. I tend to get negative connotations associated with things and can't shake them. This is all sorts of negative.
Lol I like how he says "caught up I the middle of this". Epic and Deep Silver put Ys Net and other parties in this situation. But as I said before staying silent works because media doesn't care and there is not enough buzz around to make them worry that much.
Lol
Stop dragging Valve into this mess, they have nothing to do with this for the love of god.
What the hell does Valve got to do with this.
Seriously, fuck ppl with messiah complex.
Sweeney is pathetic. The way he paints Steam as the evil one in the whole picture is so hilarious, it makes me sad. He "bought" Shenmue 3 and now Steam is the evil dude for not allowing X keys generation for a game they will be able to sell one year later starting november 2020.
Nothing, their terms are clear. Tim is just using every opportunity to blame Valve for something.
Except there's nothing indicating Steam refused or was even asked.
Yes, of course. Even because if Ys wants to offer Steam keys one year later...there's literally nothing Steam can refuse. Because at that point Steam will sell the game too and there's no reason to deny keys to backers.
I just want to point out that the other KS game Epic got (Phoenix Point) promised exactly that, Steam keys in a year.
He will just say that Valve changed terms since then. Even though there are is nothing to change.
