We’ll all wait for you to cite your source on that one, because, no Unreal does not perform particularly worse then any other game engine.
You’ve been living under a rock.
Nothing else you say matters after this, because good gods, you don’t know anything.
Unreal Engine is a bad thing. Or maybe you haven’t noticed how every game that’s made with Unreal Engine, all the way back since UE4, requires far more resources than is necessary to run what it’s running.
If you support UE5 and Epic you support actively destroying gaming as an industry, and game creation as a multi-faceted art.
If they had even half of Steam’s user base they would be profitable. Their problem is that gamers insist on backing Valve’s monopoly because it’s what other gamers tell them to do online.
Well, see, here’s your first mistake; you think Valve has a monopoly. But they’re just one store out of many, including game console stores. The difference is they’re actually providing a good service.
Yes, it’s shocking; people tend to gravitate towards the service that’s actually good!
And Epic provides Unreal Engine, the gaming engine that powers the majority of modern games…
And what a total shite of an engine that is. It’s actively destroying the gaming industry by emphasising all the worst development practices gamers have complained about for the past 8 years.
… with free and extremely cheap tiers for indie devs…
Just like with their service fee, they’re doing this to completely undercut competitors, to ensure the Game engine everyone used is Unreal.
This isn’t a good thing.
… they provide explicit Linux support…
No they don’t. They barely support Linux with some elements. But Unreal Engine runs like absolute shit on Linux, if at all, and Tim Sweeny infamously hates Linux with a passion. He has some personal grudge against it.
They’ve also used a substantial amount of their Fortnite money to break up app store monopolies…
Because they want Fortnite to be the one game young people play. The One Live Service To Rule Them All. The only way they can do that, to reach the maximum amount of the youngest generations to squeeze them and their parents for all their money, is to be as widely available as possible.
Valve got skin gambling. Epic got Fortnite. The latter involves children and is massively more profitable.
People are still repeating this lie, huh?
But I want to keep using the convenience until it’s not. Nothing lasts forever.
Shopping kart
Yes. The shopping kart feature. Something online stores and webshops came with when the Internet looked like MS Paint.
Somehow absent on a modern platform…
They’re doing that because they want their own walled garden.
As of late 2025, Just Eat now belongs to Prosus.
So much money is tied up in AI, that when it crashes you’re likely to end up poor, or worse, homeless, than being able to afford anything.

My dad goes to visit Iran (a significant portion of my family is there).
Immediately revolts start.
All communication lost (still haven’t heard from him).
America is deciding to attack Iran again.
His plan was to take a two month vacation with his siblings, but at this point I’m starting to wonder if he’ll even return.
Interesting. I’ve never experienced this. Back when Wayland wasn’t even considered as a main display server yet there were problems with resolution scaling and desktop sizes, but… Straight up not working?
Hmm… But what do you mean with it doesn’t work? How doesn’t/didn’t it work? What prevented you from, say, opening Krita and just dragging the window to the monitor you want?
Well, I use an XP Pen display tablet, so effectively a second monitor. I’ve used both Krita on Ubuntu using X11 (in 2024 and before) and since the start of 2025 been using Bazzite which uses Wayland.
Can’t say I’ve run into any display specific issues. Pen tracking gave me some trouble, but it was some setting in KDE and Open Tablet Driver I had to play with to fix that.
I like the UI of Krita. Gimp is… Uh… Gimp. But Krita is certainly a modern drawing program.
Krita is aimed at Clip Studio Paint. It’s not great for quickly editing something.
That’s… Certainly a strange and oddly specific thought…
Hey, I recognised that reference.
Drinking tea IS way healthier than soda. Or coffee, for that matter.
I really hate those that put too much sugar in tea. What’s wrong with you? What are you compensating for? Tea doesn’t need more than one small teaspoon of honey. Some teas don’t need anything sweet added at all.
