This is in line with rising tension between the US and China. The war in Ukraine is beginning to further delegitimize liberalism. Expect increased saber rattling and Yellow Peril in the near future. What else does liberalism have to offer?
I don't think fining Epic will make China angry. They don't even own a majority. It's more likely they're being punished for not being feminist enough.
I think they can understand "cost of doing business" I'm guessing China has leveled a few fines in its time
lololololol
Feb: Russia invades Ukraine
March: Gets bogged down and forced to retreat out of the North to avoid being pocketed
May/June: Throws insane artillery at Popasna and Sievierodonetsk to make puny little gains
July/August: HIMARS o'clock happens and Russia gets all its ammo stockpiles blown up so its artillery offensives totally stop
Sept: Ukraine launches Kharkiv offensive and wins
November: Ukraine's Kherson offensive succeeds in forcing a total Russian retreat
December: Russia famously throws thousands upon thousands of its men to their deaths in the Bakhmut meatgrinder without making any significant gains
KIA2 shills wonder "How will liberalism possibly survive??"
lololololol
I'm not talking about Russia's military, you fucking idiot. I'm talking about the liberal ruling class devoting its attention - and more importantly our money - toward the war instead of dealing with much needed domestic issues. In case you haven't noticed, the economies have been shit for a while now in the West.
Things the establishment cares about:
-Sending money to Ukraine
-Sodomy in the middle east
-Orange man
-Imaginary Nazis
-Giving trannies access to your children
Things the establishment does not care about:
-Crime
-Poverty
-Anti-white racism
It's not a good day to be a liberal, I'll tell you that much
Is this a drop in the bucket for Epic now.
Epic made $5.1bn in 2020. Newer figures are not available.

You also seem to have a very intense fixation on Epic games. Care to share why?
Likes games, hates Steam for selling out to feminism, hates Microsoft (same reason), hates Sony (same reason), hates Apple (same reason) and Epic has taken up an adversarial position towards all of them.
By Imp's standards, they're the closest thing to a morally-tolerable games company.
I don't hate Microsoft. I used to like them, now I have a certain indifference towards them. I can appreciate when they do good things, but I won't defend them when they do bad things.
Apple can go to hell, because "tech needs more women" is a complete lie. I had an iPad Air, got it when they first started making them. Absolute piece of shit, it broke after six months. Claimed on the warranty, they said it was my fault, I said I'd never buy another. The politics just gives me a reason to tell other people not to.
But yes, you're not far off. My feelings towards Epic keep changing, they do one good thing, one bad thing, one good thing, one questionable thing and just keep jumping from position to position.
Are they morally good? I think it's a hard question to answer without knowing what's going on internally. They're all over the place, from Disney collabs, to suing Big Tech, to mocking those who support censorship and back to having Brie fucking Larson as a playable character.
I'm sure the FTC is making lots of click money...why on earth do I need an archive?
Archive also keeps a back up of the page in case it is ever taken down or is altered.
Fuck Epic, but fuck the FTC too.
Oh, you're back! grabs popcorn
It turns out the fines on Alex Jones aren't enough to fund Ukraine.
This is what happens when you don't give Apple and Google their cut.
Parents are all gay fucks. Letting their demon spawns online where we gotta watch what we say and gotta deal with their brats horrible mics. Pretty much babysit. Shame on parents that let their kids be on an ipad pretty much after they are born.
The parents blame everyone but themselves for their shit parenting.
Of course, all of women's propagandists at the likes of EA and all the shady mobile game companies have never used dirty tactics to get money out of people.
I've played the game, there's nothing deceptive about how it works. You want to talk about deceptive, shady tactics? Look at EA, look at 2K.
Eagerly awaiting your multi-billion dollar fine for EA then.
Not sure why you defend Epic so much, and they've absolutely done some sketchy, sketchy things.
That said, yeah, fuck EA too, and definitely fuck 2K and their parent company Take-Two.
I know. I know. The women's day event should have been unforgivable, but remember that Tim Sweeney was one of the first to defend the new Twitter and Epic was the only company to take on Big Tech.
I still hate EA for taking over Codemasters. Every single notable racing game license now belongs to fucking EA bar the console exclusives, GT and Forza. TakeTwo...I hate them for making R* do GTA6 set in women's feminist wet dream. I'll cling onto V until they shut the servers down and hope a lot of people join me. That game selling well will just accelerate the industry's death.
