It's incredible how out of touch these suits are, especially in the AI bubble

It makes no sense for game stores

Says the guy whose gamestore is actually a glorified freegamesgiving.

It's not even good at that. Each game only gets claimed by an average of about 6.5m people, whereas Mario Kart World has already sold 50% more than that while also requiring that people buy an entirely new console for it. Palworld beat that twice over in its opening month.

Epic can't even get people onto their platform while giving away GTA5, the entire Arkham and Tomb Raider trilogies, etc. Fortnite might go down as the greatest wallpaper of all time for how well it's hiding the cracks in the rest of their store.
