    honestly, my opinion of epic is starting to improve more and more with every legal case they open, It’s about time someone with money stepped up.

    They are bringing what everyone knew was going on into official record and forcing countries to do something about it. I’m rooting for em

      Don’t fall for the trap. It’s one billionaire mad at the other. Epic has alot of puff but no real pazzaz for their store.

        Yeah. Tim just wants his shitty App Store in more places so he can make his own anti competitive deals to force people to use it.

        If the Epic Games store was a great feature rich platform on PC, Mac and Linux, then I would be inclined to take him at his word. But they have been running it for how many years? And it’s still bare bones and not offering anything compelling apart from subsidized free games.

      Epic is ~40% owned by Tencent which is a chinese company that directly benefits from Chinese Governement sponsored monopolies. China legally banned US based stores like Steam and Google Play.

      Epic is not here to do you favors, they are here to push Tencent and China’s global agenda.

      Any benefit to you is incidental to them trying to make a profit. Don’t be fooled into thinking they are fighting for you.
