    They even sold the game developer assets so if you are game developer you can use their library too. 

    That's a very valid point as well and Steam's UI is far more user friendly than Epic. I probably mentioned this before but the Epic Launcher does still lacks some very basic features...

    As hard to believe as it is Acti-Blizzard are possibility even greedier than EA.  Not only do they use loopholes to pay literally zero tax, but they got the balls to actully claim rebates on the tax their aren't paying!  Unlike EA they at least have the common sense to keep thier shit filled traps shut for the most part.

    They simply just don't seem to give a shit about anything except pachinko machines and their own pettiness.  They could probably make more money if they took game publishing seriously again but apparently they don't want to.

    It's a tough one to decide between EA and Activision because EA is literally being sued left and right for their anti-consumer practices and it's because of Star Wars battlefront(the last game I ever pre-ordered and got me to swear off pre-ordering) micro transactions. All these companies have been getting away with these practices for years so I am glad governments are starting to take action against them.

    I treat my OCD and insomnia by gaming. It has been more successful than anything else I've tried. A friend told me her therapist actually recommended gaming for OCD too, so this is a thing.

    And teachers used to say that gaming couldn't help you in any way...

    I'm just wanting to increase the size of my storage on my Switch. I currently have a 512g in it. But at the rate I buy DDL's I feel like I'm going to need a bigger micro SD card in it before long. Especially with the size some of these games are.

    Sandisk has a 1TB Micro SD card but I recommend buying directly from their website as you'll get the best deal there. Amazon and Ebay sell a lot of fakes and other retailers also add their percentage to the price.

    Not anymore. When I was fresh out of school and looking for a job, I would've. But I'd have taken any job back then.

    Game testing is a horrible profession. It's underpaid and holds zero respect among developers. And no it's not about playing games early. Most of the time you have to playtest certain situations over and over again, often without context. Trying to produce or re-produce bugs, or check if certain changes work or not. It's a highly repetitive and boring job, that will probably make you hate games before long if done as a profession.

    I'd love to play through unreleased but comlpeted games early too, but unfortunately being a game tester is not just about that. By the time you get a finished game in your hands, you are hating every inch of that game.

    I've also done my research on video game testing and you're completely right - it's a horrible profession in terms of how the employee is treated and the benefits they receive. I used to say yes when I was naive as to what this position entails but once I found out, I'd never go near it with a long pole.

    I'm thinking that they got the name backwards when they founded it. I think their initial name was StopGames as they seem to be anti-gaming as well as anti-intelligence.

    You know...this isn't a half bad theory at all. Half the things Gamestop does are so anti consumer and downright ridiculous, it's a miracle they stayed in business long enough for Microsoft to buy them out.
