Wouldn't surprise me if epic was giving bribes to "news" sites like these to crap out pro-egs propaganda, considering how there are so many illogical pro-epic articles coming from them. I don't know who even takes these gaming "journalists" seriously anymore so at the end of the day if they need money and epic is sitting there with fortnite cash ready to dish it out for writing shitty articles (basically what they usually do anyways)...

They have a long chain of influence, reaching all the way into these horrible news sites. No speculation needed

Can someone give me a summary of the video? I really don’t like that guy and I don’t want to give him as revenue

Getting someone else to watch it will still give him revenue... Seeing as no one has commented what it’s about yet.

I'm with you there. It's not even just that he's often factually wrong, ignoring half the facts and pretty damn self-satisfied for no real reason, but actually watching him, his body language is just unappealing.
Especially in videos where he doesn't show off his screen while reading articles, he moves around so damn much, in so many ways, that it just distracts from what he's saying. I always end up wondering if he needs a new chair or something.

Yeah I've seen the article on Kotaku. Nathan Grayson is one of the biggest Epic shills out there, and he has been writing lots of pure nonsense about this matter lately.

Far as I'm aware, Nathan Grayson is a shitty journalist in general anyway.

I think the funniest thing about this whole thing is "but you get the best possible version of the game"

They aren't wrong. It's the best version because it's the only version of the game.

Best does not necessarily equate to "good". It just means there's nothing better.

The best piece of crap is still the best piece of crap. Doesn't mean I'd want a piece of crap.

Epic: "Ok. We are gonan bribe them to make articles. But they cannot really write anything good about our Epic Game Store......soooo...... they should write in negative way about other stores so we will look better than them."

Valve didn't create toxic gamers, the toxic gamers themselves became toxic due to their own volition. It's not Valve's fault for how gamers act.
