Tim Sweeney likens fight against Apple to fight for civil rights - Techcrunch
- Thread starter Chairmanchuck (另一个我)
- Start date
In all honesty. Tim is a billionaire. I doubt he understands the difference between human rights and his "obligation" to become even richer.
Has any other executive in the video game industry made himself as easy to hate as Tim Epic?
I recall Bobby Kotick having an impressive string of bad takes many years ago, but I'm pretty sure he at least didn't try to couch his generic scummy businessman moves in the language of the civil rights movement or 1984.

Do we need to put out a PSA to keep that shit out of their mouths because I'm seeing a lot of stupid people having white hot takes like this. If your dignity, life and humanity is not at stake, keep that shit out of your fuckin' mouths, please.
This was a stupid blunder on Tim's part for the reasons pointed out above. Should've compared it to the tea party if anything. Apple tax compared to King's Tax. Now that's a proper comparison.
I just found out Apple dropped their fee from 30% to 15% on small businesses (less than $1M in revenue) as a result of Sweeney's suit though.
I hope everybody can now see that Epic is actually the good guy in that lawsuit and made good things happen. Apple is the bad guy in this lawsuit. We shouldn't stan for them. And I say this as someone who owns a little bit of Apple stock.

Because they will never understand having to fight against policies at the local, state, and federal level that deny you the recognition of your very humanity. Hence the Civil Rights movement is a great #RESIST for them in their willful ignorance.
I applaud the layers of this joke, thanks for the smile today.
Sweeney's comparison is just as terrible as when people compare something/someone they don't like to Hitler
Hm. Can't wait to open my own store with separate payment processing on EGS.
I think Kanye has a history with Mental Illness. This is just rich whiteness. Watch whiteness work.
Yeah, no. I have not bought a single thing from Epic or played any of their games since this idiot started opening his mouth and now I never will again. Fuck Epic. You can barf out all the "free" games you want, I'd rather die than download your shitty ass launcher and support this idiot.
How can you read the Sweeney quotes and come to opposing conclusion of what Sweeney himself said? He is literally declining your own claims.
Also you should never stan for any company. I hope you know that.
Yeah I feel so oppressed by Apple's app store man. Oh wait I don't own an Apple device and don't plan to buy one any time soon.
It would be nice if they allowed other stores on their devices but that's Apple's choice.

Randy Pitchford is very close... thankfully, we're exposed to a lot less of him
You know, on principle I am more on Epics side than Apple's in this specific issue. But man, Sweeney makes it *really* hard for me to stay that way.
Billionaire fighting against larger Billionaire so they can make more billions is really NOT even remotely related to Rosa Parks nor giving up her seat.

Cliff Blezinski has probably never stooped to the level Tim is going for here, but he's made attempts for sure.
