A couple of months ago they didn't even support regional pricing. Still doubt they support domestic cards. With so many news on hacks on epic account, I've never heard of abyone being thrilled to create an epic account

Isn't steam the reason thousands of windows games work out of the box on mac and linux though? Wine wasn't as awesome as it is now without valve's involvement

people have gone to ridiculous lengths to get the steam version of their games before.They treat it like a profile page. I don't think this thread realizes that

probably the security flaws and lying about stopping exclusives. Tim Sweeney has caused a lot of outrage with his recent statements on press, which pretty much were lies. Can't link since don't have time, sorry

wtf. epic "buys" exclusives. This is something steam has never done. If a developer has their game on steam, they're free to release it anywhere else. Epic has exclusivity contracts

You're phrasing this as if Epic is going around making all these poor developers do their bidding - the developer is agreeing to list their game as an exclusive.

Be mad at the dev for making the choice to host only on Epic Store if you're upset about it - they're aware of the consequences and could have easily gone with Steam instead.

It's often a decision of the publishers, not the devs.

The monopoly store doesn't need exclusives, they're already the monopoly. And back when Steam was first starting out, there weren't competing storefronts that they could demand developers withhold their games from.

wtf. I call bullshit. Source? I regularly see people of all sorts of skin tone as oracle has an office visible from my window. Maybe it's a US thing

Read the lawsuit. Summary here: https://seekingalpha.com/news/3424872-u-s-sues-oracle-pay-di...

"According to the complaint filed today, Oracle hired around 500 people into tech jobs over a five-year period, and only five were Hispanic and only six were African American."

Correction: OP should have said 5 year period instead of 8 year period. Either way. That's averaging one black person per year.

Since it's a university I'd assume lots of students applied from their home countries and migrated later. That makes the 4x argument pointless

While there are foreign nationals who come in as undergrads, it doesn’t sway the percentage that much (x domestic and 3x international). Most undergrad Asians I’ve met at elite schools are US residents/citizens who have been in the country for a while (i.e., not just someone who came for high school).

That can be quite different for grad schools, though.

there's no difference between blizzard and activision now, from an ideological perspective.

Yeah, even now HN isn't a well known website in jhalwa

can someone explain why my phone and laptop both produce an annoying noise in 3.5mm jack when connected to AC? Is the lack of a grounding pin in the charger or the source at fault
