Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy... and then it's only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can't it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It's so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic... which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

China can’t force Trojans to be installed on your PC. The fact that you believe that nonsense tells me you’re a fucking idiot.

Mate, if you are dim enough to think an update can't contain malicious code I have a heap of bridges to sell you.

Given you probably don't understand software security but it's fairly common attack vector.

I know an update can contain malicious code, I’m saying you’re an idiot for thinking Todd Sweeney is going to go to prison so that China can steal data from a bunch of fat sweaty dudes.

Your comment is even more fucking idiotic when you consider Microsoft works with the NSA, and Recall will archive everything you do on your Windows PC for them to peruse at will without a warrant.
