This is Sweeney's doing. You really think he's going to stop at a deal just for Epic? He has a righteousness streak that a lot of people seem to not understand and I don't know why.
- leereeves 6y agoI hope Sweeney wins this battle and opens up the smartphone app market, but considering how many games he has signed to exclusive deals on the Epic Games Store I think his motives are selfish, not righteous or pro-consumer. He's fighting to tear down walls here, but at the same time he's building walls elsewhere.
- ascagnel_ 6y agoHe's fighting to tear down walls so his role as a gatekeeper is more valuable. The Epic v. Apple suit explicitly mentions that, without Apple's alleged anticompetitive behavior, Epic would build a version of their store for iOS, and it's not a huge leap to think that Epic would roll out a version of their free games program on it to drive traffic.
