We can always check the Epic Games Store Roadmap.

Let's see... a shopping cart is listed as "Up Next" where it's been since July 2021. Of course achievements have been in the "Up Next" category since April 2020 and are just now coming out, so Epic has a generous definition of what "Up Next" means as a time frame.

The courts will decide, of course, and the arguments here are so much bigger than individual bits of bad behaviour: Who knows, in 20 years folk might think of Epic as some heroic crusader for developer rights.

Pretty sure they were one of the outlets calling that last ruling, "a huge win for Epic."

This is an amazing level and representation of "my ideological enemy has said the sky is blue, time to argue against it" in the field of business. Like lmao, 1 month to do a full 180, just because Valve was against it. And it took him less than 24 hours from the announcement too. Guess the original stance was ALSO motivated by Valve's earlier openness, rather than any other possible reason!

If Valve ever came out and said the Shopping Cart was the single most important feature of an online store I wonder what the over/under on Sweeny tweeting that the EGS had decided to forgo it would be?

I'm sure they realised that allowing shopping cart would allow people make use of the Discount for stuff over $15(tm) for multiple items.

The cart was doomed from the start.

So by his own logic it wouldn't affect him?

Lol at "foreign investors" when Tencent owns not-quite 50% of Epic.
