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.
If it’s outdated the reasonable response is simply informing people it’s out dated.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.

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If someone’s information is out of date it is appropriate to correct them.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”?
Well, don’t talk about them if you don’t because you don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re like an old man saying that a new computer sucks because it doesn’t have a Voodoo card inside.
“I don’t purchase from comapny X ever since they did Y” is a perfectly reasonable thing to say when people are talking about company X. The reasonable response to someone saying that is simply “They don’t do Y anymore, they haven’t done that since [date]”, not “HOW DARE YOU SHARE THE REASON YOU STOPPED USING COMPANY X IF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN FOLLOWING EVERYTHING THEY’VE DONE FOR THE PAST COUPLE YEARS!”

Maybe you should keep up to date a bit instead of making an opinion years ago and not checking what’s been happening since.
Also, offline play has been available for a long time too.
Right, everytime I decide I’m done with a company I make a point of keeping up on what they’re doing…
If you intent to make general statements about them, it would be good to do so, yes. Else you could look silly if your statement is outdated.
