Why Epic wants you fighting its FreeFortnite war against Apple and Google
When Epic Games shook the worlds of tech and gaming last week by filing antitrust lawsuits against Apple and Google, the political undertones of its campaign to generate support for its legal action felt as obnoxious and trolling as the most egregious players of its hit game “Fortnite.”
Getting excited about Epic’s grievances isn’t, to say the least, as inspired as a “save the USPS” rallying cry. But this is 2020 and fury is dispersed equally everywhere.that said, “Epic is choosing to weaponize fan outrage alongside its lawsuits against Apple and Google,” Sweeney appeared to deny that specific charge but still offered slogans fit for a propaganda poster. Large tech firms, he wrote on Twitter, “do not fear our weapons. They do fear our ideas.
Apple, when asked for comment, presented a modified version of its initial statement, which read, in part, “We very much want to keep the company as part of the Apple Developer Program and their apps on the [App] Store. The problem Epic has created for itself is one that can easily be remedied if they submit an update of their app that reverts it to comply with the guidelines they agreed to and which apply to all developers.
