RazzleDazzleHour posted:Incorrect EPIC makes games. most of them involve borderline casino like schemes to get as much money as they can from the users. in terms of Fortnite, it's tailor made to pressure kids to buy as many skins as you can. Apple releases (in general) premium computer products (their crappy keyboards from 2016 to 2019 being a clear exception) that in general just work for creative design work, creation in general, that sort of thing. They are dragging a lot of other computer companies to be greener, are pro LBGTQ rights, and personal protection privacy (china excluded). They also have hugely pushed products to be more inclusive (their accessibility options are getting low key better every year) and the Apple Watch has literally saved thousands of lives (including my own fathers). They're also a huge freaking company and I feel gross rooting for one giant company over the other. But yes, they are a better company than EPIC. And I say that as someone that till about three months ago played Fortnite a ton. We're talking 300 + total hours I'm guessing over two and a half years. It was Social time with friends and family, (till the game just started to get worse and worse).

But of the large ones, they are better than freaking EPIC games. Yeah, people used to commit suicide on the job, until they installed suicide nets and now the rate is way down. Non-Chinese factories are pretty explicitly a pit-stop for a product that is 95% completed to be packaged so that the product is no longer "Made In China" so they can avoid not just the social stigma, but also the tariffs. Like listen. Fortnite gambling is bad. We know. But you are W R O N G if you think Apple have any form of ethical code. They are one of the worst companies of all time

"No ethical consumption" means the entire premise of trying to determine which multinational corporation is more or less evil than the other based on one's personal buying habits is a pointless exercise, not "Apple rules Epic drools."

Also if you think that their USA labor practices are any better you are delusional. They do the thing where they partner with foreign human trafficking depots who charge people who want to work in the USA a ton of fees (tens of thousands of US dollars) and then fly them to the USA where they're forced to live under watch in a group dormitory, aren't allowed to leave the house except to work, and get their wages garnished by the slavers. Look up ANYTHING about H1B visas - Apple employs TONS of these people. Here's a podcast episode about the way these labor exploitation companies work in regards to a specific case in Maryland, but know that Apple is using these same methods to get a HUGE number of employees https://soundcloud.com/trueanonpod/listen-i-wanted-quar-gossip-too

Yes, yes, throw the easy punch when that's not what I'm saying. I'm pushing back on saying Apple is worse than Epic. If you want Apple to improve and have suggestions, I'm all for it. I'm saying in the current conversation about Apple vs Epic, Epic using dumb propaganda and trying to get kids involved is grosser than Apple maybe charging all developers too much to be on their platform. That's freaking it.

the solution is to defend neither companies because Apple and Epic are both trashpiles whose entire goal is to be as anti-consumer as possible while siphoning money from people using whatever methods available ideally this lawsuit would result in both companies burning to the ground but unfortunately we don't live in a just world. just one where epic thinks invoking 1984 over less scrooge mcduck money in tyool2020 is a smart and rational idea

I wonder how much Epic actually makes from the mobile market. It's obviously the most accessible method to play the Fortnites, but it's also objectively the worst. I tried it once and it's basically unplayable and I can't imagine anyone surviving any sort of encounter on it. Also wondering if Epic is actually making any money from its bad store. I can't be the only one who uses it solely to get and install the games they give away.
