That's it, for now. Epic is trying to set themselves up as publisher like Steam. Once they can get first-party status as an app store on iOS their tune will change.
This is about money, and one way to make money is to get people hooked on your product then jack up the price.
- ClumsyPilot 6y agoThe comparison is bogus again. Steam is an independant company with real competition ( epic including) and I can drop it on a moment's notice. How does Epic store become first-party, they get bought by Microsoft? I don't get what you are claiming
- manicdee 6y agoFirst-party status for an app store means being able to install apps on the phone, as opposed to being an app which runs Epic Store games (eg: Bluestacks or Plarium Play).
- TheSpiceIsLife 6y agoLet's persecute everyone for the crimes they might commit in the future.
- manicdee 6y agoAt what point does "nip it in the bud" turn into "you're persecuting me for crimes I haven't committed yet"? I suspect that where the line is drawn depends on what benefit you feel you get from one side of the line versus the other.
- TheSpiceIsLife 6y agoYou're right: Nipping it in the bud was wiped clean off the table the moment Trump won the Republican Party presidential nomination for a second term.. As far as I'm concerned, now, it's a complete free-for-all.
- BoorishBears 6y agoI greatly dislike what Trump has done to this country, to understate it. But this is the worst/dumbest/most off-topic reply to a comment I have ever read on this site, and maybe the entire internet. I regret having had to read it.
