      My iPhone pulled all my gmail and Facebook contacts in without my explicit consent, so that I had a calendar filled with birthdays and up to 4 contact entries per person on any of those lists. Business as usual in the poorly regulated realm of information, despicable as it is.

      iOS and Android - trying to separate the user into apple or no apple user... I agree if you say no Epic because of security concerns. But I still don't understand the pgi shitstorm...

      It boils down to something very simple: Epic is not going to listen unless their bottom line is hurt. Their bottom line is hurt through the people they buy off's bottom line. So the only way to hurt them is to go to the source of their money and hurt that flow. Or use FTC reports

      Your argument comes across as suggesting that everyone should sit down, shut up, and mindlessly consume everything that is put on our plates, because if we don't someone might have to get a different job. That's a great pro-corporation mindset to take, really.

      So, yes. If you want to hurt a corporation, you need to hit the money at its source and have that flow up the stack. If they don't lose money, they have no reason to change behaviors. Yes, this impacts the employees; because they are part of the company's value that can be lost.

      I should take the time to state that this is not malice towards the individuals who work for Epic or PGI. The root of the problem is @TimSweeneyEpic and his dishonest, anti-consumer tactics, and everyone else is just collateral damage in an attempt to get him to listen for once.

      I’m listening, I just don’t agree with you. I believe that PC store exclusives are a reasonable strategy for a new store with an 88/12 revenue split in favor of developers to compete against an established 70/30 store with over 90% market share.

      That's not competition, Tim. That's monopolizing. Instead of buying other games to sell on ONLY your store, why not spend that money to make your store more desirable, or, dare I say it, produce your own damn games? The fact that you have to buy popular games for your store

      We’re doing all of those things, but they take varying amounts of time to complete. There’s a limit to how quickly Epic can spend money to accelerate features, as there’s a limited number of developers with the right expertise, and it takes time to find, hire, and onboard more.

          So you would rather stoop so low as to bully consumers into using your unfinished product than spend the time to finish your launcher? Your company can survive without this, Fortnite rakes in thousands if not millions.

          Would you apply those adjectives to exclusive products available on Steam, Origin, Netflix, or Amazon Prime Video though? These are all cases where a company funds all or part of the development of a product in exchange for exclusivity, to establish or grow their ecosystem.

          On the other hand, there is no limit to how quickly Epic can spend money on exclusives. How is that?

          Adding more developers to a late project makes the problem worse, not better. Almost every situation where these projects are rolled out to production before they're ready, the decision was management level and handled badly. Now they have a split of O&M and new feature devs.
