Another capitalist spectacle, enchanting over 13 million players into its digital colosseum while the world burns! Epic Games rakes in profits, exploiting the creative labor of developers and the leisure time of the working class, all for the sake of "new gameplay" and digital baubles.

The Burnt Out
"We're all doomed anyway"
Oh cool, 13.5 million people found something to do besides staring into the existential void.
