Even Epic is ripping on the Mastodon cult.

Tim Sweeney is an agent of the Chinese Communist Party.
He is a dumb smart person.
He retains 51% of the company and voting rights, so no.
It's even more unfounded than saying the CEO of Disney is an agent of feminism, something I was downvoted heavily for, because he actually doesn't have 51% control, the feminists do.
The rest of his company is owned by the Chinese Communist Party, and he routinely acts as their agent doing things that only serve their interest, such as his little lawsuit against Google & Apple, which was designed to break American and Japanese power over video game platforms so the Chinese could flood the market with their shitty games.
It’s amazing he can claim google and Apple have a monopoly with a straight face. Especially since they both compete with each other and nothing is technically stopping anyone from developing another App Store for android. Samsung had one on their phones, not sure if they still do. And nothing is stopping him from developing an epic phone on his own os or a custom android os….. probably would have been a better use of money than free games and exclusivity deals on EGS.
It’s also not like iPhone users are not aware that it’s a closed system. And the argument of a sunk cost fallacy with having to buy new apps if they switch is silly given a significant number of apps are subscription based or cost 1$. I probably do not have $12 in apps on my phone if even that. And with the price of iPhones, Pixels, and Galaxy phones that extra $12 isn’t going to break the bank
Uh, google kinda stops people from making another app store for android by virtue of mandating that all android phones must have the google play store on it.
