Oh, I know Gears 5 sucked. I had to play through it for the 10,000 reward points deal MS were doing. One of the worst games I ever played, why do people shit on Epic so much? They would have made something far better.
Nothing they've done there is more than the typical "we'll do this so you don't destroy us." attitude of all Nasdaq companies since the Nasdaq CEO threatened to delist companies that didn't bow to a feminist agenda.
If Microsoft were true believers, they'd have taken Five Nights at Freddy's off Game Pass when there was the big push to cancel the creator. There's a lot of times they could have gone full retard and chose not to, I still consider them the most sane of the big tech companies.
It wouldn't matter if they weren't though, through work and prior purchases, I'm tied to Microsoft for life anyway.

Putting out a basic message is one thing, opening up entire divisions and joining a coalition with Facebook to displace male employees for female hires is a whole other thing.
Gears of War 4 was terrible, but adding in an "empowered" female sidekick is the kind of lip service you would expect to keep the harpies off your back.
Rebranding their most masculine franchise into a feminist power-trip and using it to promote the globohomo agenda is way beyond the pale.

Ah, so you're just a fanboy. I can understand that. I used to be one way back in the day, but I have more of a zero tolerance policy these days for any company openly supporting the globohomo agenda and advocating to replace skilled (male) workers with female diversity hires.
Notch did some questionable things that implied anti-Semitism, which is a lot more likely to get you canceled than being anti-SJW.
It's still less than most other tech companies have done, unbelievably.
All the Gears games since Epic lost the license have been total shit. That's why they turned it into a propaganda mill, at least it has a use that way. Look at Microsoft at E3, they were nowhere near the level of insanity that others reached. They did their show and left, others did massive zoom meetings about racism and sexism for people to watch.
I'm not a fanboy, I just understand that I'm stuck with Office and Windows and I'll never play PC so I'm stuck with Xbox.
PC is full of cheaters, there's no good racing games (No, I'm not paying for iRacing. I could literally buy a real life car for how much it costs to play that shit.), I prefer to keep my work separate from my games, I can't be bothered to constantly upgrade parts, AMD is run by a woman and Intel is full woke, the only computers I've used that I liked were from Lenovo, that's Chinese and I give enough money to China through Epic.
One of the worst games I ever played, why do people shit on Epic so much? They would have made something far better.
Nobody was shitting on Epic in the days of the original Gears. Nobody cared about Epic in general until the EGS, and if they did it was mostly positive regard.
Funny how a major controversy like that can 180 public opinion. And not even talk about their competency as a developer, just a company.
Probably true. I'll keep supporting Epic until Fortnite goes irreparably woke, which at the rate they're going will be Chapter 2 : Season 10, considering the main protagonist of this season (C2:S7) is a black woman.
If the Chinese made a condition of the contract to open services there that the application has to spy for them, do you really believe Valve would reject?
People shit on epic because some time after leaving the gears franchise they took a massive investment from tencent which is essentially a tech arm of the Chinese communist party. Despite the claims of others tencent is a minority stake holder with Tim Sweeney holding 50+% of the stock. Tim also frequently makes claims that Epic is doing “x” thing because they care about the consumer when in reality is it’s an excuse to weasel in on market share. And trying to take a competitors market share is fine but the we care about the consumer signaling screams bs.

Except they did bar Notch from attending an event for the game he created: https://www.businessinsider.com/minecraft-creator-markus-notch-persson-barred-from-10-year-anniversary-2019-4

Seriously, why?
PC is full of cheaters, there's no good racing games (No, I'm not paying for iRacing. I could literally buy a real life car for how much it costs to play that shit.), I prefer to keep my work separate from my games, I can't be bothered to constantly upgrade parts, AMD is run by a woman and Intel is full woke, the only computers I've used that I liked were from Lenovo, that's Chinese and I give enough money to China through Epic.
I think that's enough reasons.

here you go, fren. I've yet to see the Office file it can't handle
Dude, 90% of what runs in windows can run in Linux without any tweaking, And since most of that is games and you'll
odds are you should be fine.
In the rare instance that something absolutely refuses to bend to your will and run under Linux, dual-booting/virtual machines are always options.

Funny how a major controversy like that can 180 public opinion. And not even talk about their competency as a developer, just a company.
I still don't see why the EGS is such a big deal. People are acting like Epic makes them buy a new PC, all they have to do is install a program.
If it's the Tencent ties, may I remind everyone that Valve partnered with China for Chinese Steam to exist.
If you don't see why people have such an issue with it by this point, you never will.
However, they do have that issue with it, and that's why people shit on it so much.
