Epic ruined Paragon, ousted the creator and bastardized the game. Ditched it despite saying they’d support it for awhile longer.
They bastardized the Rocketleague ecosystem. The game remains the same and of course it’s going free to play so some people can ‘see’ that as a win for everyone but eh.
Instead of playing fair in the PC market, they keep buying out completed games for exclusivity, promoting a bad practice for a fairly open platform.
They demonize Steam, despite steam pumping money into it’s ecosystem and community etc., creating a feature rich launcher whilst Epic’s own launcher has barely progressed in the last 2 years since it’s launch. They’re also backed by Tencent which is a very aggressive company for lootboxes and getting as much money out of kids as they can.
The only positive thing Epic has done is made Unreal Engine free to develop on as well as supply the unreal engine.
Don’t get me started on the Unreal Tournament community and how they bastardized that.

I would rather make 70% from a massive customer base than 0%. Apple’s platform brings customers, and for that they charge 30%. Get over it or use your own platform.

Tencent-Epic is a Chinese company.
Not only should Apple kick it off the Apple Developer Program, the United States should ban it along with TikTok, Huawei, Zoom, PUBG, WeChat, and other nakedly obvious spyware deployed by the Chinese Communist Party against free expression and democracy. This isn’t about Fortnite. It’s about security and control by an American company or a Chinese company. China has demonstrated its dishonesty and incompetence in spreading a global pandemic, then lying about it and blaming the victims of its crimes.

What the hell is super league gaming? I play games 24/7 and I’ve never heard of it. Just looked at the website and it looks like some nonsense gaming collective or some shit to fool older investors trying to invest in video games. They are somehow monetizing a billion views? Of what? They don’t make anything.

She doesnt want to bite a hand that may feed her, cause she knows when they agreed to apples TOS then subverted it and apple did what they said they would do. And claiming they are taking all the spoils like creating the ecosystem as she stated ignores the people who work at apple that create the hardware and software that is required for the game to run on. If epic didnt like the cost they should have removed their own game, then had apple negotiate with them but instead they went against a contract they agreed to when they got approval on apple platform.

When companies grow so large they become an oligopoly which is where a few companies control an entire niche and thus is close to a monopoly and those companies wield that power in unfair manners, that needs to be pushed back on.

Epic is NOT “special”. Apple can afford to lose Epic. They’re just a distraction now and making a spectacle of themselves by asking for that ass whipping. 30% is merciful for the right to market to 1.5 Billion users and they’ve known it since first profiting from the App Store ten years ago.
