I'll admit that I flipped out on Twitter when Battlefield 3 required Origin and wasn't happy when Splinter Cell Blacklist installed Uplay, but Tim Sweeney is a gigantic hypocrite. The guy ran around yelling the sky was falling when Microsoft started selling games on the Windows Store because he somehow thought it meant Windows would become a "closed platform". Never mind that Microsoft would essentially kill their OS by doing that; he tilted at this particular windmill for months while saying exactly nothing about iOS. Now he's buying up exclusives and happy to take Tencent money despite their links to the biggest and most malign closed system on the planet (the Communist Party).
