Epic is terrible though. Shame about Activision.
More importantly, Trump needs to resurrect Westwood and make RTS great again!

if a chinese company owns an american video game is it an american video game
if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound
if a tree falls in a nighbor's backyard and no one is around to prune it do you cook pierogies

Tencent owns like half the American game industry, though they are probably no worse than the previous owners.

"I tanked the economy to record lows, by being incompetent. Now look at these jobs that are slowly coming back! It's a record. Also, fired the guy I appointed for doing the thing that I appointed him to do."
From WaPo, "President Trump fired two members of the Tennessee Valley Authority’s board of directors on Monday, including the chair Trump himself had appointed earlier in his term, over the giant federally owned utility’s decision to outsource some technology jobs."

Washington Post wrote:The executive orders also amount to at least a partial about face from Trump’s promises as a presidential candidate., when he panned executive orders. “We don’t want to continue to watch people signing executive orders because that was not what the Constitution and the brilliant designers of this incredible document had in mind,” Trump said in March 2016. “We need people that can make deals.”
In attempting to redirect congressionally approved spending and changing tax policy, the limits of Trump’s powers could come under more scrutiny. That could be challenged if Congress objects strenuously enough or someone finds a way for the judiciary to get involved. Trump cites statutory authority in most of the actions, and some of his new actions appear to be only instructions to his Cabinet secretaries and department heads to look for ways to address certain problems. Others involve more questionable actions such as the suspension of tax payments and transfers of money Congress has appropriated for another use.

it's not $600 but it's $400 and that's gonna save a lot of people, and it runs through December too
