I do. I don’t have much time to sit down and play Fortnite and would love to play on my phone.
The player base is bigger now and they keep breaking records. The game got more concurrent players than it did during its last peak in 2018-2019. I came back to the game too, it’s a lot of fun.
You just want to play the free games
Now don’t lie
Dude you just don’t get it. Even when Epic makes a ton of money and wins legal battles over Apple, they still lose. Epic = losers. It’s simple math. What don’t you get??
\sarcasm!!! edit: it is a joke!
This is some pathetic and embarrassing thing to even think, let alone speak out. You ought to be ashamed for wishing someone misfortune.
A bit much telling people leave a job because you don’t like the company
A bit sad
Some companies are a net negative in the world. As much as I feel for their employees, it's better overall if those companies either fail or change their business activities in such a way that their impact becomes a net positive. Epic's CEO seems hell-bent on avoiding the latter, so we root for the former as the remaining alternative.
I need to start adding sarcasm disclaimers to my very sarcastic replies.
A bit sad attitude to have because you don’t like a company then I should crash & burn.
If you don’t like the product don’t use them
What other companies deserve to die, given this criteria?
Just wondering how much malware has been distributed on Epic/Steam on PC compared to the iOS App Store.
Don’t look it up! You might be disappointed by what you find.
Legitimate third party store have more of a reason that Apple to be wary of letting sketchy apps in their store. Apple can just shrug it off when Users are duped by apps which they allowed in their store.
so many strange comments defending Apple and talking bad about Epic. I wonder, would you guys defend Apple if they did the same to Mac and completely lock it down? I would love to see that - I'd assume that most of you would change the tune immediately. How hypocritical
More like Epic is the loser here
Yeah epic the big loser
With their own App Store on iOS
How are they ever going to cope being a big loser
Again, I don’t understand why Meta can sell games and apps for the Quest via the Meta Quest App without using Apples IAP while Epic or Microsoft can’t. So strange
Which helps Epic how with Apple? He is not going to be playing on his iPhone or iPad which ones of millions were doing until Tim Sweeny decided to break the rules and ruin it for all Apple users.
Not at all! I would also laugh if someone decided to open up their MacBook, tinker around, and complain how Apple won't fix their mistakes. You voided your warranty.
If you are going to load alternate app stores with zero security, expect zero care from Apple. You know the risk when you download an alternate, shady web store with shady apps.
A lot, especially those companies that depend on government support or regulations which force people to do business with them instead of their competitors.
They do not have an App Store at all on iOS as of right now. When they do, it'll only be in Europe and you'll have to convince those folks to even download an epic store to get Fortnite. The base of users went from 100% of all Apple users to less than 1%. Meanwhile, Epic lost out of 4 years of VBUCK sales on the billions of IOS devices.
Yeah no thanks. Last thing I want is that Tim in my computer.
