I’ve already spoken my peace about Epic games and their peacocking. Unreal Engine’s use on iOS will be removed effective August 28th pending a court order that Epic wins in a matter of a week in a half.


What a fricking idiot. What did I tell you? He doesn’t care about the consumer or really even the devs. It’s all about the brand and getting a bigger share in the space. If he doesn’t win any of the lawsuits or cases in this matter he is officially the biggest clown in the gaming industry.

We aren’t talking ethics. Not actual business my dude. His background is in mechanical engineering. Although he’s been “in business” for over 20 years, he has no educational background in business whatsoever. Fortnite may have been Tim’s original idea but Darren Sugg and Donald Mustard helped shape it into the juggernaut it is today.


Your snooty comment doesn’t change the fact the dude bypassed TOS in TWO stores and expects to come out of unscathed. He’s picking fights with Steam, Google, Apple and probably Microsoft pretty soon if they ever enter the console race and cloud gaming.

Isn't Druckman also a Magician?

So you're okay with a monopoly? Aren't you one of those steam lovers?

Is he? i think you may be thinking of Randy Pitchford who is the biggest a-hole in the gaming industry imo.

Exactly, at least he is doing something that benefits the fans. He brings this up but wanks off Nintendo for selling Pikmin 3 for $60 in 2020.

Now his company snatches up Hitman 3 exclusively for his store only on PC. Says he's against things like that then does the same because, guess what? He just wants a bigger piece of the pie doing the same thing. Such a fraud.

Of course they’re going to claim Epic wanted special treatment to the detriment and exclusion of other companies—but that isn’t the case. The title of Sweeney’s email is literally “consumer choice and competition”.

Stop being an Apple cuck and look at the facts

Would be nice if he did us a favor by making TLoU2 disappear.

In early 2019, there was like 2-3 of us on this board who were vocally opposed to EGS, now it’s the near majority opinion it seems.
