Yeah agree, I didn't say Epic wasn't greedy, but from the two, we clearly know who the biggest one is.
Apple can go fuck off for all I care with their overbloated prices for stuff that's not even worth the price, and even worse force you to purchase their shit and nothing else.

Epic baited Apple into a lawsuit holy shit
They also published an animation about it to their YouTube channel and are looping it on Twitch

This is some next-level type baiting
and I love Epic Games for this, this coming from someone who used to think Fortnite was the plague

I think it's both
and it's about time

This is pretty funny. Especially when thinking about all those Epic exclusive games on PC. Really bummed I can't get Mortal Shell on Steam until 2021..

I hope they both lose a ton of money in this.

Yo they remade the 1984 apple commercial

♥ I'm not huge on Fortnite, I'll watch people play it, but I just suck at playing~ Forcing people from the games they love. I don't see how or why it hurt apple perhaps will find out as the lawsuit progresses.

Good heavens.

This was planned.

How do we know this thing isn't just a big staged plan for marketing on both companies and the improvement of Apple TOS' for publishing on the app store that they were going to make anyway.

Why would it be planned on Apple's part? What does Apple gain from bad publicity like this?

Lumince · Aug 13, 2020

Im conflicted on whos side I should be on :rofl2:

I hate both almost equally it seems

Anxiety_timmy · Aug 13, 2020

I can just image all the 9 year olds making videos about this

AxlSt00pid · Aug 13, 2020

Lmao they even made a cinematic that plays inside the game

Anxiety_timmy · Aug 13, 2020

Ohh boy I see the mob of 8 year olds y'all

At least it was planned for some time from Epic's part.

I get what you say.

It's just two companies that have more money than we could even think about. It seems unreal for me, that's all.

Both are greedy anyway. Fortnite isn't doing this to set a precedent for smaller devs and publishers, but for them to pay nothing, or at least a lot less, to Apple.

I hope Epic wins. Not because I like them - in fact I quite despise them. But in this particular instance, they are fighting for a good outcome. It's not like the typical lawsuit seeking for "compensation from damages"; rather, they want a bigger slice of the pie on future sales, and to do so means opening up iOS as a platform. That would be a huge win in my book. Apple's fiercely closed ecosystem IS anti-competitive and needs to be challenged.

I don't think Epic was making any extra money from purchases for the small amount of time their direct payment feature was live, I think they actually discounted purchases by 30% if you used Epic direct payment, meaning they gain nothing from this, except not having to pay into the Apple monopoly.
