Because they are all authoritarians? You ever hear of anyone who wants to control what people think, how people act, and what people believe without being an authoritarian? No you haven’t because being any of those things makes them an authoritarian.
With epic, it’s Tim Sweeney moaning about it being a monopoly (it’s not, ea had origin, ubisoft with uplay, activision blizzard the blizzard launcher, gog, etc). Then moaning about the steam 30% cut, which had been the standard cut for most markets whether online or brick and mortar. Then epics policy of paying for exclusivity for their store. Actually strong arming people to their store and targeting devs who had previously announced a steam release. All for the experience of EGS to be sub standard to all competitors, it took them years for a shopping cart to be added, despite having one for their engine marketplace in the same launcher. Anti user reviews (ironically that would prevent this review bombing, but they were pro putting mainstream reviews). Scanning your steam friends list without your permission. All in all it all read as a mega corp moaning they weren’t getting the largest cut, forcing users to buy from them, and claiming they did this for the good of the consumer, all while having less features than steam including a ton I did not list as an example. The 40% Tencent ownership is just icing on the anti epic cake.
They claim he took content out of the game to resell it as dlc. Reality he tested features in the beta branch for said dlc and it was known that it was going to be dlc. This all stems from him making fun of face masks in a patch notes months ago. Some people have less than 30 minutes of playtime on their account.
I meant they will pressure the state of Georgia to blast it off. It’s just a matter of time
