    Really stupid that a company can be forced to do business with someone they don’t want to do business with. Epic is a stain on gaming and anything else they tried to claw their way into, and would rather be slimy anti competitive trogladites led by their manchild Tim Sweeney trying to steal peices of the pie in a market rather than actually provide honest to goodness products and services that people want to use.

    EGS is 6 years in and is still a complete failure on any competition metrics, and yet they want to employ the same anti competititve practices on iOS? Good luck I say, computer literate people don’t even use EGS, imagine how many people will forego sideloading on iOS while they have to pay to maintain their new app store.

    Didn’t they already offer a “Epic Games Store” on Android since that’s open and allows sideloading already? And Android is an OS more prone to sideloading and that store still failed miserably.
