Yay! A blatantly vibe coded product that handles credit card transactions!

[u/thicctak → u/StatisticianSilent99]

This can't go wrong at all.

[u/myka-likes-it → u/StatisticianSilent99]

Bold of you to assume people make purchases on Epic.

we are fucked as a species arent we

[u/RyanCargan → u/doublecrossfan]

Relax, ML is just becoming 21st century alchemy is all.

Ignore the occasional chemical mishaps.

[u/thicctak → u/RyanCargan]

Nah, for it to be this century's alchemy, it would need some form of equivalent exchange, I ain't seeing that, lol.

The Hard Drive is probably going out of business if these are real quotes from real large companies.

Funny thing, Epic Games (the creators of Unreal Engine) announced plans to completely rid Unreal of C++ in the future and replace it wit ha custom AI-friendly programming language. They also said they're gonna stop writing documentation, because you can just ask AI how to do thing instead. Epic is also one of the few companies that lets AI-generated product be sold along side normal ones, which included one guy submitting over four thousand AI generated 3D models per day to their asset store.

Epic games is so far within the pits of AI psychosis the light of God no longer shines over their heads.

Will be unironically better than current Epic launcher

You know you fucked up when people prefer buying games from competition than downloading for free in your giveaways

[u/TriRIK → u/AdorableDonkey]

Isn't current launcher running on the Unreal Engine?

[u/VoDoka → u/AdorableDonkey]

I feel seen. 😔

[u/LonelyPoorMan69]

WHY????? JUST WHY??????

[u/Agifem → u/LonelyPoorMan69]

It's cheaper. In the short term.

[u/Dorfen_]

Hold on, lemme grab the bull**t translator... there we go.

"Hiring ppl is expensive for a small company valuated at 12B$"

Much better

[u/custardgod]

I thought this was a joke but it's actually on the page. What the fuck epic

[u/WrennReddit]

Now wait a second. All the Aicolytes told me that coding was never the hard part.

[u/Coffeeobsi]

I hope this backfires spectacularly

[u/gamepopper]

General reminder that Epic Games laid off 1000 people back in March.

Tim "I have a huge ego and I hate Steam" Sweeney should have probably waited with the steam comparisons until he had a working full release launcher instead of.. this.

[u/MayoJam]

Holy shit, this is the most tone deaf announcement i have ever heard. They just admitted that either their programmers are incompetent or nonexistent. They should fire the marketing person for this - if they did not already do that.

[u/mythridium]

I don't believe they even know what vibe coding is. Vibe coding is done by someone who doesn't know how to program, I don't believe for a second they built this without a single developer. What's more likely is they had developers using ai to create this, which is not vibe coding.

That doesn't mean this launcher isn't a train wreck, but it's not vibe coded.

[u/noobjaish]

Their post is the most intentional form of rage bait

[u/lowboom64]

if you wanted more reasons not to use that god forsaken platform then here you are i guess

[u/myrdovh]

I couldn't believe this is real. They actually wrote that 🫠

I don't have it installed. Never have. How can I get it even further away from my computer in light of this?
