Easy as

I/II= ,V

(OK, that was confusing, it's I/II= .V in barbaric` )

They may still subsidized by Microsoft or other strategic partners (like McAfee antivirus). IE: Microsoft could promise a share cut on every videogame sale made a registered xbox handheld; while this is still not enough to sell at loss, they (the OEM) may still consider reduce/forfeit they expected earning from each piece of hardware sold.

...but will it have AI? I mean truly random AI gimmick like Pilot/Cortana whatever. People expected their HMPC for gaming insanely performing and slick, with no bloatware at all... but only Microsoft knows what you all need is some company AI thing that drain processing power to interact with Microsoft servers and spy on you. Nobody knows better than Microsoft how to Zune their way in a new entertainment industry

We have laws to protect children, no other companies: we need laws that hit hard companies that don't respect people (and other companies)'s rights.

Neither is right: written text is not people, and text without people is either right or wrong until someone read. Only people reading can make the text true, also, you're a moron.

...it's just a joke, jeeeez.

Make small admission to hide a bit trick.

They never care about having a good video game store, they want a good frontend for Fortnite.

Epic is eyeing Roblox: any good game made, no matter where it is sold, will become endlessly cloned in Roblox... almost all the money spend in Roblox, remain in Roblox.

A good game in Epic Game Store? Soon or later it will go on Steam, and Epic will lose some potential money, will go on PSN, and Epic will lose some potential money, will go on Xbox Store and, you guessed, Epic will lose some potential money.

They are pushing hard for artist and coder to get stuck in the Fortnite "Roblox Wannabe" metaverse; that's their only true goal. Lure developer, trap developers (I would say "Roblox lure child, trap child", but it sound excessively weird)

I hope more and more indie will start taking Unity space away and turn to Godot,: foolish CEO can destroy the indie alternative to AAA status equo ( Sony, Microsoft, and Epic as their servant). But once on Godot, the engine is in fully in the hands of the people.

They see Epic Game Store as constant revitalization, together with free game: the idea is, indie developers come to EGS to have their recognition (like among us, rocket league, lethal company and many other had); once in the EGS will bombard the customs with fortnite deals... in some cases even cloning successful indie game mechanics in fortnite (it did happen with among us). Basically they want to brute force the indie gaming industry in fortnite: the "metaverse" money they all see in roblox (Facebook, google etc.)

What am I missing here?

Roblox, aka: the money Epic wants

People "justify" Valve, I don't think there's need for that (justify a big corpo, I mean); Valve don't want to deal with the hardware business side of repairing stuff; yeah, it's their right to do so: but this also tell us Valve isn't mature enough as hardware company, and you can't expect them to mature in this direction if they (also) don't get serious into providing affordable repair service.

This tells me: Steam Deck 2? Maybe... Steam Deck 3? Unlikely. They will push for an "alternative OS".. and will lose for lack of focus (Microsoft can easily kick them out with the Windows industrial's weight). As far I can see, they are not committed to hardware, no other OEM will do this for them.

(Look at how Google has been consistent with their 'Google Phone' throughout the entire history of Android: they know it’s foolish to rely only on 'OEM goodwill' and stop there. Google Pixel devices were better than Windows Mobile and the 'DualBoot' Android/Windows... that’s how Google beat Microsoft in the race)

I understand wanting to play an old game, but why would you want to jump through hoops to run it on old hardware?

It's just a feel that some nostalgic collectors have: they want to handle the real hardware thing to put together with the software. (yes, I know it sounds naughty; no, I won't take it back)
