While I have no love for Apple or any of the other billion dollar techbro places, Sweeney was the one running the corp. (Epic Games) that deliberately violated a contract (let's leave the discussion of is 30% ethical/justifable for a app store on the table for the moment), and then used a pre-planned ad campaign to galvanise an under-18 fanbase to try and control the narrative, right?
- spywaregorilla 5y agoSeems pretty unreasonable to forbid acknowledging the ethical motivations of an action in a debate.
- tehbeard 5y agoSeems pretty unreasonable to say I forbid it, when I said to just table that discussion for now, rather than letting that debate derail the talking point I wanted to discuss/highlight. There are no saints, and acting like Epic has the moral high ground because they fight for the little guy ( no, they fight for themselves) with what they did to do that is disingenuous at best.
- spywaregorilla 5y agoIt's disingenuous to say epic is "acting" like it has the moral high ground by just handwaving away discussion of the fact that they do, in fact, have the moral high ground.
