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.
Who cares? It's a win for everyone.
Biggest disappointment is that it took a rich twat to twist the government's arm and do what should've done 10 years ago.
Give Tim Sweeney lots of money? Why would the government do that?
Now Epic can finally install their own payment system, bypassing Apple’s parental controls, and little Timmy can just enter the details from mommy’s credit card when Epic gets him addicted to ~~gambling~~ loot boxes.
Such a win for consumers.
We have laws to protect children, no other companies: we need laws that hit hard companies that don't respect people (and other companies)'s rights.
We have laws to protect children
Hahaha, good one.

In the US? That’s not going to happen. The US is run by corporations.
What a dumb bar to judge them by. Not a single entity with an interest in fighting this fight would be doing it out of the goodness of their hearts
They did a good thing but I still get to judge them for ultimately being greedy.
Okay now he should be able to afford developers to make all their games on Epic SteamDeck-compatible, right?
Epic literally cannot even bother, they handed Linux to valve on a golden platter
"... Long national nightmare...". I think this guy likes his hyperbole. Trump, DOGE, and the rest of the current government? National nightmare. Russia attempting to invade Ukraine? National nightmare. Israel killing thousands of children in a bid to wipe out an entire populace? NATIONAL NIGHTMARE. This guy needs to visit reality more often.
The rich don't live in reality
Thought Epic isn't entirely the good guy, this is great news for them and everyone else who's been under Apples oppressive rules
Apple v Epic is like the Trump-Elon fight. Apple, like Trump, does more and lasting damage. Sweeny, like Elon, is somehow even more hate-able.
I don’t want either side to win, I want both sides to lose.
When the girls are fighting, I'm on team popcorn.
Nah. The girls are good. THE GROWN BILLIONAIRE MEN are fighting. Don't rope women in to this.
Billionaires are fucking weird.
That was a reference to AOC making fun of Trump and Elon
I know. AOC should know better.
Tim Weenie can go kick rocks, barefoot.
Too bad (for him) Epic is still trash.
