Stux posted:thats all capitalists, capitalism is inherently rentier. all companies extract excess value from the people actually providing things. and also beyond that epic literally are a marketplace owner themselves who seek a percentage off of games they had no hand in making, and they also specifically engage in incredibly aggressive marketing to limit those games to their own store where they can make their cut, so even if you want to disagree that all capitalists are rentiers and so the term landlord should be kept for literal Land Lords, epic are a landlord as well by your definition. yeah both of them both extract excess value from their employees and rent seek on storefronts when looked at holistically, you're not wrong. All that I really meant is that if Epic is saying "yo it's hosed up that Apple is taking 30% of everything, they didn't do poo poo", Epic is not wrong in that, even if they're doing the exact same poo poo in conclusion, there are no good guys but there may be a legal outcome that results in a slightly less hellish hellworld

i remember arguing over whether or not megaman 8 or megaman x4 was better because a friend had 8 and i had x4. we both had not played the other and were shittalking from nowhere. then after a temporary trade of games a truce was declared as megaman at that point was still pretty good actually

I don't know how much of this is communicated by the gameplay, but Mania in general and Y Tower in particular is really fuckin' hard. shoutout to this - SOR4 rules but I don't know if I have the patience to figure out how to line up all the huge combos per stage

danbo posted:their legal case is not being harmed. apple using all of their third party developers that happen to use unreal engine as collateral in this dispute tremendously strengthens an anti-trust case against them. i'm sorry. revoking developer access from a company that has massively breached its developer contract is not going to harm them one bit, its completely within their rights to do, its not going to do anything but hurt epic and them kicking off their legal proceedings by flagrantly and pointlessly breaching contract instead of just... bringing a case is one of the stupidest approaches you could possibly take. just bring forward your case. you are not going to score points because you breached contract in full knowledge of what you were doing and what those repercussions are. theyre not using anything as collateral, theyre doing the exact same thing they always have done since the app store has existed to any developer who has breached contract. when they did this to facebook after facebook was found to be stealing massive amounts of user data in violation of app store policies no one was saying it was wrong. there were no cases being brought forward to say it was illegal to block developer access to a developer who broke contract. this is no different, its just a situation where who is right and wrong in their reasoning for why they broke contract isnt so obviously clear as facebook stealing personal info.

if anything its epic using all of the developers that rely on their engine as collateral, because they 1000% knew this would be the exact outcome because they have read and understand their contractual agreement with apple. they were willing to throw all ue reliant apps under the bus with them as leverage for fortnite and egs.

But the smart move in that case is still to bring a case and not start out by flipping the bird and making a public spectacle. This is why there is no good side in this: both parties are being as lovely as possible within their power for spectacle rather than coming at this in a very bland court battle over overreach and monopoly, and because of the way this began, Apple is actually further in the right by just sticking to enforcement.

I hope Epic retaliates by suspending the Fortnite accounts of every Apple employee and their kids.  Maybe they'll make another video about it. Love to watch brands propagandize anti-capitalist reform (that directly benefits them).
