If it's outdated the reasonable response is simply informing people it's out dated. Expecting them to keep up with a latest news of a company they don't like makes you look silly.

If what you said was true at the time you don’t look silly at all, because people don’t follow companies they decide they are done with.

That's only true if you actually state it as such. It's really easy to clarify such a statement with "Back when I last checked ..." or "Years ago it was ..."

That's like saying "in my opinion": it's unnecessary. Of course it's your opinion or you wouldn't have said it, and of course that was true last you checked or you wouldn't claim that was the case.

If someone's information is out of date it is appropriate to correct them. It is absurd to expect people to do research before posting anything about anything to make sure it is "up to date".

For example: did you double check that you can in fact still play games off-line using Epic before posting? Or did you just assume it was true based on "last you checked"?
