Comment on Epic Games just won its antitrust lawsuit against Google again
Pika@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks agohonestly, my opinion of epic is starting to improve more and more with every legal case they open.
They are bringing what everyone knew was going on into official record and forcing the countries to do something about it. I’m rooting for em
Epic is mostly owned by Tencent which is a chinese company that directly benefits from Chinese Governement sponsored monopolies. China legally banned US based stores like Steam and Google Play.
Epic is not here to do you favors, they are here to push Tencent and China’s global agenda.
Any benefit to you is incidental to them trying to make a profit. Don’t be fooled into thinking they are fighting for you.

Don’t fall for the trap. It’s one billionaire mad at the other. Epic has alot of puff but no real pazzaz for their store.

it’s also bankrolled by Tencent.

Is that a bad thing?
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
depends how much chinese influence you want in the gaming market. They are already the biggest gaming company in the world.

Yeah. Tim just wants his shitty App Store in more places so he can make his own anti competitive deals to force people to use it.

I wish more people could recognize you can support specific actions without liking or approving of the entity taking those actions. It’s not a binary choice.

in this case, the specific action gives the entity an unfair advantage in the global market. Epic (with the help from tencent) is suing US companies for antitrust laws, but tencent benefits from exactly that with stores like Steam and Google play outright banned in china. They have the entire chinese market to themselves and use the profit from that to push out further into the global market by doing stuff exactly like this.
