    Hopefully this will get people to stop pretending Epic is the good guys against Google and Apple.

    NGL I haven’t heard a soul saying Epic is the good guys in any situation involving them. Randy tried to frame the game store as helping devs but a 12% cut for Epic instead of 30% and all the prices were still the same so as a consumer I didn’t care… but the PC exclusives thing? Yea deffo didn’t spark joy.

      Interesting. The Internet’s been pretty divided, with a lot of people supporting Epic because they ultimately want to see Apple’s control over iOS reduced, and ultimately, so do I. But the fact is, if Apple allowed sideloading like Android did, Epic would still try to force Apple to allow them on the App Store despite breaking the rules because they want Apple to host their app and its updates. Those of us rooting for Epic aren’t rooting for Tim Sweeney per se, we’re rooting for the change he’s bringing.
