Epic brought a dance move to a bazooka fight. Their little video is so hilarious and pathetic in retrospect. They were so fucking smug haha. Great stuff.
So you are not a fan of Epic either, I supposeSo am I not allowed to hate a mega corporation that has anti consumer policies, practices monopoly and charges a lot for shitty products?
And that's why they are taking them to court for.He's just going to ignore the fact the updated build breaks Apple's App Store guidelines...
I am not. I just hate Apple more.
Nah. Would be bad. I don't want some mess of bullshit with different launchers.
? Why would they not? Part of it got granted and the whole goal is to appeal every step of the way to legal systems until one agrees Apple needs to be regulated. Apple is already in hot water for antitrust stuff. Epic isn't crazy, they want to seal the deal that's already in the cards.Then why file the TRO regarding Fortnite being taken off the store? I really doubt this is somehow still part of Epic's big 4D chess plan.
And that's why they are taking them to court for.
Why is it so hard to understand that this is exactly what they were expecting?
Sweeney needs to stop posting. He just makes his case harder for his lawyers to litigate.
Oh, it's pretty obvious consoles go away if this happens to them.I disagree. Sony and Microsoft use a healthy chunk of their 30% cut to fund AAA game development. If we are going to reduce them to box makers, the costs of consoles is going to go up and they will have no incentive to invest in AAA.
I'm suprised he's still doing his twitter shitposting after Apple already tried to use his tweets against himFucking exactly. I'm in awe at his stupidity. Get the fuck off Twitter, dummy! His lawyers have to be pulling their hair out.
Seems pretty clear cut to me and did you actually real the entire message about why they were modded? Best to msg a mod and not discuss it here regardless.I'm sorry, but how was this considering platform warring and specially... how did it warrant a 1 month ban? People say the same things about EGS and Epic all the time here without any consequences. This place is getting really weird lately.
Some people like Tim simply aren't rational with stuff like this and I have to imagine his position and wealth play a LOT into that as well.I'm suprised he's still doing his twitter shitposting after Apple already tried to use his tweets against him
Sweeney is such a buffoon. There's no more perfect word for it.
Anyone viewing these antics and thinking that Epic is somehow in the midst of some giant chess game - literally has the mentality of a child.
This is like if someone stuck a gun in their waistband, blew off their own balls, got admitted to the hospital-and then someone else claimed it was all a long game to expose how expensive medical bills are.

I don't know about "chess game", but Epic absolutely violated Apple's in-app purchases rule knowing it was extremely likely that Apple would respond the way they did - specifically BECAUSE they wanted to take this to court with standing, and hopefully get a watershed ruling that allows Epic to make a ton more money off of mobile games.
As for Sweeney, I suspect he's just blathering about it all on Twitter because he's Tim Sweeney, and that's what Tim does. He's clearly making a ham fisted effort to try and mobilize the fanbase of Fortnite against Apple, to try and force them to acquiesce.
I don't know why anyone is rooting for either side. Epic's motives may be transparently cynical, but Apple aren't the good guys here. I'd welcome a ruling that loosens their iron fisted control over the iOS marketplace, and it's hilarious that users of RESETERA, of all places, are saying "that's what you get when you break the rules, Epic!"
I'm old enough to remember a time when Apple would have criticized a tech company doing what modern Apple does. Especially in the late 90s and early 00s, in the heyday of "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish"-era Microsoft.
It's only a matter of time before app store monopolies are dismantled with enormous fines from the EU. Apple would be smart to get ahead of that instead of doing what they're presently doing.
Both companies are so obscenely rich that I don't care who gets hurt monetarily-but any company that signs a contract, fragrantly breaks the contract, brags about it in public and then cries when they have to face consequences will never receive any pity or support from me.
Huh? He flat-out admits it. It's right there in the note.He's just going to ignore the fact the updated build breaks Apple's App Store guidelines...
Could Tencent be the one actually « pulling the strings » and pushing Epic to go against Apple ?
Seems like Facebook also isn't very keen on Apple's policies:
