Here’s something you don’t hear every day, and no, this is not an April Fools joke. Epic Games is offering one million dollars to anyone who can prove their app, Houseparty, is the victim of a paid smear campaign. You are probably wondering what the heck is Houseparty (so did I), so let me explain.
Houseparty is a social networking service that enables group video chatting through mobile and desktop apps. When friends are online and available for chatting the user receives a notification. So it’s basically like any other video chat app.
The app first launched in 2016, and as of March 2020, Houseparty is the sixth most downloaded free app in the United States’ App store. Last month accusations began circulating that the app had been hacked. Now Epic Games is offering a one million bounty to anyone who can prove the smear campaign against its product.
Thanks IGN.
Chris was born in the early 80’s along with the very birth of home gaming. After spending many maaany drachmas on arcades, his father decided to buy him a PC instead of going bankrupt. He lived through the advancing and development of the gaming industry, having played TONS of games on all platforms. He is always honest and will never hesitate to give his true opinion on a game no matter what. Loves stealth games and dislikes microtsansactions, DLC and pre-ordering…who doesn’t after all?!

I didn’t know this otherwise i wouldn’t have installed it in the first place, i deleted it and requested deletion for my account as the news came out.
Isn’t House Party that naughty game on Steam that was banned and then unbanned.
Noels House Party.
Timmy Tencent being Mr. Blobby?
CHRIS. I CAN PROVE IT. LET’S SPLIT THE MONEY THREE WAYS BETWEEN US.
ALSO. I KNOW ONE OR MAYBE TWO THINGS ABOUT A SMEAR CAMPAIGN. CHRIS.
Epic, make piracy great again.
Epic store is becoming worse than your average attention wh*re, desperate enough to pay you even.
It’s almost like Timothy feels the need to overcompensate for being distinctly lacking in a certain area!

lmao this pic, the worst sh** we dealt/have been dealing with for a long time
Why do you keep shilling for Epic? Very close to not coming here anymore son.
‘Shilling’?! You probably don’t come here often.
Can’t really blame him lol, nearly every site is shilling for Epic, btw thanks for being neutral, not pushing for agendas and for the actual ethics you have here, it’s rare
You’re welcome buddy!
Bravo, well done. This is another baseless smear campaign against Epic.
You know what’s really childish about this stunt?.
It’s clearly a marketing gig Epic have set up, in order to spread word of mouth about their “amazing” app.
So instead of marketing it like literally everyone else does. Epic likes to play it off like they’re some defenceless under dog, but also stinking rich, but also trying to be a loudmouth brat at the same time.
It’s such a lame tactic.
It is sick what dirty money can do !
