You can make some vague claims that it’s going to be good for small businesses and independent developers… but realistically it’s only going to pad the pockets of the already rich. Any benefit to anyone else is going to be negligible.
Epic is not successful? They’re a privately held company with a valuation of like $32 billion. They are the developers of Fortnite, and like 75% of all console/PC video games are built in their engine.
I guess my question is how the fuck do you define successful then?
Who cares? It’s a win for everyone.
Biggest disappointment is that it took a rich twat to twist the government’s arm and do what should’ve done 10 years ago.
Give Tim Sweeney lots of money? Why would the government do that?
…why would anyone do that?
I mean, it’s what you’re celebrating.

I don’t even know what money you’re talking about. Hard to celebrate that.
…you mean Apple? No. It will benefit literally everyone else.
… do you think Apple is the only highly successful company in the world? There’s tons of others… like Epic.
At least you admit to your ignorance, that’s the first step to actually knowing what the hell you’re talking about :)
The only business who is losing anything here is Apple.
Literally anyone else, including your solo dev kid cousin, who just made his first game, wins from this
No just one of the most profitable in the world.
Epic is not “successful”, by any standard.
I know exactly what I’m talking about. I just don’t know what you’re talking about.

Well. Being profitable would be a good start.
