Yeah. Tim just wants his shitty App Store in more places so he can make his own anti competitive deals to force people to use it.
Comment on Epic Games just won its antitrust lawsuit against Google again
zuch0698o@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoDon’t fall for the trap. It’s one billionaire mad at the other. Epic has alot of puff but no real pazzaz for their store.

I wish more people could recognize you can support specific actions without liking or approving of the entity taking those actions. It’s not a binary choice.

in this case, the specific action gives the entity an unfair advantage in the global market. Epic (with the help from tencent) is suing US companies for antitrust laws, but tencent benefits from exactly that with stores like Steam and Google play outright banned in china. They have the entire chinese market to themselves and use the profit from that to push out further into the global market by doing stuff exactly like this.

it’s also bankrolled by Tencent.

Is that a bad thing?
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
depends how much chinese influence you want in the gaming market. They are already the biggest gaming company in the world.

There’s no stopping that train now, Tencent or no.
Traditional devs need to be ready to compete, and breaking up monopolies makes for a market more prepared to do so.
