    SShock, 12 Dec 2023That doesn't change my stance towards hating Epic. The... moreThis is a childish stance, though. If I see a game that I want to play, I buy it. No matter which platform it is on; GoG, Epic, Rockstar, Steam, and so on, it doesn't matter one bit. GoG will be the main one due to the way they operate, but between the rest - where I go to click "Play", makes no difference. Whichever is the cheapest, wins.

      Mills, 12 Dec 2023Hooray! And everyone rejoiced and clapped for Epic Games as... moreApple already won that suit actually. Forgot why they were about to get away with it.

        That doesn't change my stance towards hating Epic. Their BS exclusivity deals on games are super anti consumer and basically any game they have under exclusivity, I end up never buying even when they come to Steam or GOG. Good job lads. Like for example Metro Exodus. It took so long to come to Steam I stopped giving a damn about it and I never bought it. And never will out of spite. Will hoard it on Epic Store when it is served as a free game. Out of spite. And then probably never play it anyway.

            The screen should say different way
            Cost - $7.99
            App Store - $7.99 + 30% Apple fee ($2.40)

            But why it finds Google liable, while not Apple? You can install third party apps on Android and even stores. You can't in iOS.

              Idk if its still an obligation, butna few years ago, Google forced OEMs to pack up all of their crap on your android device.

              Thats why you saw apps like Google+ being included and worst of all, they couldnt be uninstalled.

                Hooray! And everyone rejoiced and clapped for Epic Games as Google warned Apple is next.

                Apple better lawyer up

                  Can’t stand and don’t trust anything Google.

                  Huge win for EG. Apple will be next.
