    Regardless of the irony, someone needed to start this fight with Apple, so it might as well be them.

    Between the two of them, I’m not willing to “support” either, but I’m slightly more inclined to hope Epic comes out on top because they’re not also in a hardware dominance position. Epic can be as shitty as it likes about certain platforms, but they at least can only affect their games. They aren’t gatekeepers to a massive audience of users, and by far one of the largest gates at that. The Epic store actually has competition.

    Between an abusive developer and an abusive gatekeeper, the gatekeeper is the bigger issue.
