> Though I’m curious - how much time in your opinion has to pass before Russians are allowed to participate again? How is that relevant? I think no matter what the answer, no one is going to draw the line sooner than "during the act

Oh look another HN Russia sympathizer telling us literally any intervention is pointless.

Well it's not. Don't know what to tell you bud.

No that's obviously not fraud. Words have meanings.

There may be a confounding factor or two there.

Maybe you could start with what kind of evidence would convince you? It seems like you're asking Tim Sweeney to prove a negative, which is difficult. I don't think "blind faith" is fair - I just haven't seen any rea

> I think it's naive to think that the opinion of a 40% shareholder has no influence on the CEO. Even if that just presents as a bias in their decision making. I'm more than willing to accept that I'm being naive. All I as

Epic Founder and CEO Tim Sweeney has addressed this a number of times and so far given no reason to doubt it, > I’m the controlling shareholder in Epic Games, and have been since 1991. We have a number of outside investors now. Tencent i

I have seen a lot of Russian apologists on HN claim that literally every single proposed non-military intervention "will do more harm than good". Every single one. The fact is that the people of Russia need to feel incredible pres

What was wrong with the class component? It was very understandable and predictable.

Just because you personally don't want web apps doesn't make it ok for a company to unilaterally hamstring an entire arm of technology for their own benefit.
