Pretty small? I think Epic, who makes billions and billions of dollars in overall sales (though revenue is unknown specific to Apple devices, but fair to say at least $100M), would strongly disagree with this point.
- giantrobot 6y agoI couldn't possibly care less if Epic only makes $100m instead of $130m. Why are you carrying water for Epic which makes stupid amounts of money selling props for in-game toons? I'd be sympathetic if they sold anti-cancer drugs or built low income housing but they sell fake things to people in their own captive market.
- bluedevil2k 6y agoThis is such a condescending and arrogant response. What makes you the moral judge over whether Epic deserves to make the money they do? Who put you in charge of deciding what "good causes" or "bad causes" are? You might not care, but they have employees who have families that could use the money to better their lives. What the hell does Apple need the extra $30M for? You come off as a bitter and jealous person with this comment, perhaps upset at their own business failures.
