Judge in Epic v. Apple bans Apple from charging commission on purchases made outside App Store

Always fuck epic, but fuck Apple harder.

That there's a very narrow overlap of epic and general consumer/other devs interests doesn't make epic good.

The worst person you know just made a great point

Lmao, the fuckepic and 'Tim Sweeney is a bastard man' sentiments were always wildly overblown.

The fact that anyone took Apple's side in this case (because the Epic game store paid for a couple exclusive games to try and break into the market) is laughably childish.

Apple literally rips off the entire world to the tune of billions of dollars a year through app store mafia extortion fees alone, let alone the rest of their anti-competitive bullshit.

Epic was just trying to break into the Apple / Google / Steam monopolies and made a couple unpopular / anti-consumer business moves on a couple games (all the while taking afar smaller cut of profits than any other store), meanwhile Apple has based their literal entire multi-decade business model on anti-consumer choices and done that for every single hardware and software device they sell you.

They are not remotely comparable. Epic was always fully in the right in their anti-monopoly legal battles.

I recommend liberal use of the concept of critical support

rats scavenging for the last vestiges of growth in a world that hates them at the moment. Will the rats compromise or will they eat each other? My vote is on the latter.
