Fuck both companies but fuck Epic more.
I have no issue with Epic.
That terms of service are reasonable and they don't charge ridiculous rates for commercially using their products.
What's with all the Epic hate in the comments? They invest in open source software and take on legal challenges that nobody else is up to?
...for tgeir own wallet.
Don't kid yourself, that they are doing it from the kindness of their heart...
Doesn't make them a good guy.
But Epic v. Google turned out to be a very different case. It hinged on secret revenue sharing deals between Google, smartphone makers, and big game developers, ones that Google execs internally believed were designed to keep rival app stores down. It showed that Google was running scared of Epic specifically. And it was all decided by a jury, unlike the Apple ruling.
