I’m so happy this other large company which wants to embed itself as a storefront and soak up fees won against the other large company which was already doing it.

Like, genuinely I am, but Epic isn’t doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. Epic/Sweeney is mostly sad they didn’t have the monopoly first.

ask any game dev if they're happy Epic won this battle? If they say no then they've never tried to release a game on a marketplace. This is a huge win for developers.

I am a dev. I said I’m glad they won. Epic still sucks, though.

so am i. And I'll agree epic sucks in some ways, sweeney in more, but they also provide a relatively awesome toolset. i think epic has gotten a lot of undue hate just for having a marketplace seperate from steam - but steam has been exploiting devs for a long ass time too.
