No, you just got a ton of free games... I'm sure that doesn't effect your opinion of them at all.

Your ally seems to be 100% in it for themselves...
But I am sure once Epic secured their own increased profits, they probably totally intended to circle back and deliver that victory for consumers.
Not even remotely surprised. Just enjoying seeing the doubt being slowly removed.
Anyone done the math on how much money they're losing on this suit each day in lost iOS revenues? I'm no mathematician but 70% of a lot is more than 100% of zero. Meanwhile players of the game have been able to buy v-bucks without the 30% cut since the beginning.
There are so many better solutions to this than Epic has pursued. Just last night I just signed up for YT TV and Google flat out won't let you do it inside either YT or YT TV app (to avoid the 30% on the subscription). It works just fine. They simply just tell you to open the URL in the web browser (which you can do right there on your phone) to complete signup. Sure it's not as seamless, but it's certainly not difficult.
Point is, if Epic was really interested in saving their customers money they could just direct them to a website to buy V Bucks at 30% off. That they chose to pursue this path just shows that there is value in using Apple's payment systems, they just don't want to pay for it.

Literally stating that we have to fight as mercenaries in some war for our ally Epic Games because their agenda aligns with "ours" (whoever "we" are) and because Epic is fighting for us we have to fight for them as well - but then claiming that you can't be a fanboy because you are only taking the free games. That's totally convincing.
This is so fucking embarrassing. Holy shit. I feel bad for the employees at Epic being subjected to being a part of this shit.
Yes, I did say that ya'll should buy a horse, a bayonet and a blue coat and join my regiment on the hill over the new
* I have been watching Hamilton nooon-stop.
Srsly though, check out my previous post about amicus curiae.
You are correct that I shouldn't give any credit to any company that gives me something for free. Or any person, really. Ingratitude all around I say! ;)
Nobody's paying me enough to stan for them, rest assured!

I addressed this in my previous post and explained the amicus curiae concept.

Ok, hopefully, now everything has been cleared up! Feel free to hate Epic all you want, just hope for them to win their Apple case. Don't worry! Apple can do just fine with 20 Billion in profits a year from the app store instead of 50. I promise you.
There are some things that are so glaringly, obviously wrong that any attempt to justify them comes across as borderline delusional.
Imagine thinking that the highest valued corporation in the world (2 TRILLIONS!) taking a 30% app store cut is the right thing to do or is somehow good for consumers!
Imagine thinking that days after xcloud got cancelled as a result.
Imagine thinking it's a good think we can't stream games from the cloud on the go if we have an iPhone.
To me, it's like thinking it's a good thing Disney extended copyrights forever, because Mickey mouse needs to be protected...
Epic are so pathetic. I really feel for all the developers using Unreal Engine that Epic has thrown under the bus so they could create a PR campaign against Apple to try and force a discount on the App Store fees for Epic, and Epic alone.
They didn't even have the good grace to admit they were being greedy and self-interested, with no intent to fight for a better cut for anyone but themselves beyond a little lip service, and instead pretended they were doing it for all developers. The fact that it took Apple to expose their hypocrisy is sad.
