It's the general business scumminess towards consumers. I want Epic to fail for it.

In some ways, yes absolutely agreed. But on the other hand, love that they're going against Google Play Store atm, even won in court just now.

Evil fighting evil for more power. I'm not holding my breath for any meaningful positive changes.

Yep, only reason Epic sued Google is because they want more money. I think Tim Sweeney was even quoted that they'd make billions from it.

In that case, consider they have to pay for every download of free games (at least server costs) ;)
