This is how Epic beats Steam.
This is already possible to do on Steam if you use PayPal's Pay in 4 option, but you have to spend at least $30.
I cannot believe praising Grok in the same week the AI was calling itself MechaHitler. Like holy fuck, read the room.
It's klear he's in a different room than any of us.
Tim Sweeney slams Apple’s ‘unlawful’ EU App Store changes - 9to5Mac
His comments came immediately after Apple announced a sweeping set of changes to its App Store guidelines in the European Union.9to5mac.com
Apple announced a bunch of sweeping changes to the App Store in the EU yesterday in an attempt to comply with the DMA. Frankly it is so convoluted that I've read over it several times and don't completely understand it. But I think the gist is Apple is lowering their take rate for the highest grossing apps to 20% and raising the bottom tier to 12%. Tim has spent the past ~24 hours being mad about it so kudos to Apple for upsetting him.
Looks like the EU might actually accept that nightmare of bureaucracy. Would likely put an end to that chapter of the Apple/Epic saga in the EU.
Blades of Fire flopped.
Also Tim Sweeney is calling Reuters fake news. Hanging out around MechaHitler and Epstein Client #1 has rubbed off on him.

Fuck epic, etc. etc., but Tim/Epic always had a point with Google.Epic just won its antitrust lawsuit against Google again

Apple runs a closed platform and Epic mostly lost based on that.
Google masquerades Android as an open platform, then acts like a mob boss when anyone else tries to compete with Google Play.
It was so brazen that Epic basically had a slam dunk case if they could prove the accusations.
And at the end of the day, Google is a far more terrible company than Epic so whatever. Fuck 'em both.
I agree Google are a bunch of scumbags, but the fact they have to allow third party stores on Google Play and they have to allow those third party stores to access everything on Google Play is pretty fuckin' wack.
Not against the verdict, way against the remedies.

This is a classic case of “Fuck around and find out”.
If Google hadn’t fucked around, they wouldn’t find themselves in this situation.
The remedies are designed to redress an anti-competitive imbalance going back 15 years. I think they are harsh and fucking wild, but overall the least Google deserves.
Google got destroyed, sucks for them. Although I have to say that it is very stupid that the walled garden of Apple gets to keep doing most of its bullshit.

On the bright side, you'll be able to use Google Play to download EGS and use that to download Steam.
