MULTI Epic Games is now worth $17.3bn, ~6 times the net worth of Valve

At least they own their losses unlike "biggest revenue for Xbox" Microsoft 
Since Necrokiller forgot to update this thread regarding the case between Epic and his favorite cell phone/tablet/notebook maker, I thought I'd do so instead lol.
So Epic will be paying millions up front, but the gateway has been opened for Apple to lose billions. Apple may have won the battle, but Epic won the war
Imagine thinking Apple is my favorite company when CerebralTiger has people in his group who defend them vehemently on social media. Yikes
This!So Epic will be paying millions up front, but the gateway has been opened for Apple to lose billions. Apple may have won the battle, but Epic won the war
It's a major win not just for Epic but for every developer out there and that matters. I now want to see Google sweating and allowing devs external payment options as well.
Atleast three gaming sites and CerebralTiger. No wonder these tweets weren't shared
lmao like I literally said...
It is Epic's loss of $12 million in the here and now. But...
It's Apple's loss from here onward, as 3rd party devs now have the option to use an external payment process.but Epic won the war
Epic literally lost the war.
Apple is neither declared a monopoly, nor is the 30% cut reduced. Essentially, Epic also lost against Steam
Also, Epic doesn't even eat up the cost of payment processing on their own Store, and CerebralTiger sees this as a win for smaller 3rd party devs?

Imagine thinking Epic lost the war by losing $12 million in a battle, when Apple is prepping to lose much, much more. The amount of damage this will bring to Apple is incomparable to what Epic has to suffer
Heck, Fortnite made a measly 7% of its overall revenue on iOS

Fortnite’s cash cow is PlayStation, not iOS, court documents reveal
Console players bring in a lot of money for Fortnite.
I didn't even mention the amount of money Epic "lost" 
Epic seems to want everyone but themselves to be declared a monopoly and also reduce 30% cut and they are failing miserably.
Typical of CerebralTiger to come up with a bootlicking response

Once again, CerebralTiger not addressing Epic's failing in the case. Seems like a touchy subject
I mean, I never considered Apple or Steam a monopoly to begin with, and I don't agree with every single thing Epic fights for
Regardless, an external payment option can potentially benefit both devs and consumers, so I fully support it. Such options should also be available on other platforms, including consoles.

Spoiler: show
I guess a loss of 7% revenue can be considered big when you look at the amount in figures instead of relative to what the company's making from the game on other platformsHeck, Fortnite made a measly 7% of its overall revenue on iOS

What about the consooomers that can't play Fortnite on iOS now because Epic purposely breached the contract? Not very beneficial to them is it?
But Epic does want to be back on iOS. It's Apple who won't let them while appeals are ongoing. It's Epic's right to appeal, after all

Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit. -

tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said: -

It has a worst rating on Steam than last years MW3 now. Jeese Sony, how can you fuck it up THIS BAD

I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying.
