So is Epic.
Buying exclusivity rights to games so people will be forced to use your platform is the most crooked shit.
Yup, Epic is literally the worst.
I wish the fortnite money would dry up so the garbage store will finally close and the loser Tim Sweeney can ride of in the sunset with his garbage store closing down. The last thing we need is the same console exclusivity and toxicity coming to PC gaming, and he is trying to divide and turn us against each other.
Google, with their significantly more meaningful influence in the world, is significantly worse than epic, who can barely even have an effect on the gaming markets, compared to Google who effects nearly ever aspect of our modern lives in some way.
He’s butt hurt over the $250 million fine lol
Birds of a feather
Pot calling the kettle black, methinks.
More like an aspiration for Epic than a reality at this point.
True, they’re clearly mad they’re not the ones with monopoly powers.
I mean he’s probably right, but he’s also CEO of a company that was just successfully sued for privacy violations and exploiting kids.

What ? stores can’t have profit ? Why not sue Walmart or Target for this egregious practice then ?
I kinda understand that the Apple model of locking iPhones so only their store can exist is, if not ilegal, unethical and immoral, but on Android phones, you can sideload a different store or individual apps. IANAL, but this is the kind of meritless lawsuit that in my country would not only be thrown away but could also expose Tim to sanctions.
Before contrarians come in to say that 30% is too much for a digital store, I work with cloud services (mostly AWS and a bit of Azure), and let me tell you, that shit is _EXPENSIVE_. Especially bandwidth and storage, which is the two things digital stores use the most, that why I don’t think 30% is too much, it’s basically what they need to charge to cover costs and have some profit to keep investing on the service.
