I did not and would never consent to this administration running my fanart through AI and posting it. Can’t even believe I’m saying these words.

Since Trump’s election:
-Musk got $680 billion richer
-Musk became the 1st trillionaire
-SpaceX got $10 billion in federal contracts
-Tesla & SpaceX paid $0 in federal income taxes
Now, Musk’s spending $442 million to keep Republicans in control of Congress.
Gee, I wonder why?

Fortnite youtubers when Tim sweeney's micro-peeney is about to go unsucked
The worst read in the gaming industry RN is the hate on @TimSweeneyEpic .
He fought platforms like Apple charging 30% fees which cost gamers and devs. This includes steam who BANS Developers if they offer their games cheaper on other stores who take less cut.
He buys forests just to turn them into nature reserves.
Epic store is not NEARLY as good as steam yet. But they take WAY less money from developers and literally hand out free AAA games each months. Does it need time to expand features? Yes. Are any of those factors something that is motivated by 'evil' no.
And MOST of all. He's 100% correct that its not 2016. Like it or not AI is existing. And the reason you only see the 'anti AI' comments are because the 95% of developers who ARE using it RIGHT NOW are just scared of the backlash.
This doesnt mean they're just vibe code 1-shotting games. They're utelising it to create workflows that streamline otherwise time consuming (and ultimately not 'player experience' defining factors). Stupid 1-shot assets/entire code bases are not what AI is actually being used for. But there are thousands of talented developers using it in a very thoughtful, structured way which gives them full creative control.
We all are 'scared' by AI - and what it means for jobs, creativity, and creation as a whole. But it DOES NOT change the fact that Tim sweeney isnt wrong.
He's just the person with the balls to actually say what is true.

Steam goes down for 10 minutes and the internet panics.
Epic Store could go down for a week and nobody would notice.
Sorry Tim.

When a car goes 25 mph nobody cares. That’s what it was designed to do.
When a human being runs 25 mph, it’s an accomplishment because a HUMAN BEING achieved it.
Nobody gives a shit if a machine spits out the code, art, and animations and creates a game. The reason games are successful comes from people experiencing the developer’s own vision. It’s not just about the product and the profit, it’s about seeing people’s ideas come to life through their own work.
Here’s a hard-to-swallow pill for people who support AI: Having dreams and ideas is not actually impressive, everybody has them. It’s putting in the effort yourself to make them happen that makes it impressive, and if you think people will still appreciate that when you used an AI to do the hard work for you then you clearly don’t know what it means to truly create.

🚨 FORTNITE COMMUNITY, WE NEED TO TALK! 😭💀🔥
Some of y'all want Sprites REMOVED next chapter because apparently having FUN is a crime now??? 💀
DID WE ALL FORGET ABOUT DELULU?! 😭
Remember when Fortnite was about making random friends, forming alliances and causing absolute CHAOS?!
Now it's all about sweating for Victory Royale crowns that give you WHAT exactly??? A number to flex?! 😭🏆
Sprites actually give us something to collect, grind for and help other players with!
NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT WINNING! 🗣️🔥
KEEP SPRITES IN BR!
BRING BACK DELULU!
LET FORTNITE BE FUN!
Am I cooking or is the sweat community about to send me back to the lobby? 👀🍿💀

Tim Sweeney fired 1000 employees which is still having effects on Fortnite to this day, while also forcing the rest of his employees to make a star wars/marvel game mode using GenAI...
He is everything that's wrong with the gaming industry and he doesn't get ENOUGH hate.

As soon as Epic gets rid of this idiot maybe I'll like them more.
Tim Sweeney is criticizing Valve again over Steam’s requirement for developers to disclose their use of generative AI.
The Epic Games CEO called the policy “abhorrent,” arguing that developers are being forced to make a “political statement” that could be used against them by a “hate mob.”
Sweeney has been criticizing the policy since 2025, previously comparing the disclosure to a “Scarlet Letter” and arguing that AI will eventually be part of almost every game production process.

Tim Sweeney is making a fool out of himself and this company.
He's managed to delude himself into believing he's in the right and ignores everyone's criticisms/ warnings about generative AI because he believes "it's the future."
Wonder how that worked out with his metaverse...
Vibe your way to 50K.
