killamch89 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 This was a hilarious topic earlier in the year and the jury is in and...both of them lost although the courts ruled in the favor of Apple but a set of laws coming into effect makes this judgement somewhat irrelevant. Honestly, I just enjoyed the leaks about the shady practices of other companies being leaked during the trial. How did you feel about this court case?

Empire Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 What made things more funny to me after both of them lost in this situation, epic still went ahead asked apple if they can have their dev contract for iOS back and apple gave a big nope like Lana from archer. Epic even said they'll try to see if they can get it back somehow, like a desperate ex who got denied hard at prom. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to serve both of them right with the way the courts ruled. It goes a very long way in telling them what to expect in the future should such repeat. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that part was freaking hilarious but what was even more funny is the leaks that occurred at the start about Sony, Ubisoft and other companies and their screwups that we wouldn't have otherwise heard about.

Seriously - it was a very funny scenes with what both of them were doing like kids that can't control their emotions after being denied candy.

And Epic is going to try and go after Google next which will likely have the same outcome so their actions are pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooner or later, they will realize that they are all chasing themselves all round in circles wasting resources they would have used to make incredible games for us. Wankers!!!

Wankers!!! The only great game that Epic has created to date is Fortnite (not my favorite game but can't deny its success). Rocket League was originally with Steam and they bought out the development studio. For once, I'm actually on Apple's side in this - just to see Time Sweeney cry like a little girl.

skyfire Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I think they need only multiplayer games where they can take regular income out each season. i doubt they would make this much money each session of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make it from Season passes and cosmetics. I knew someone who spent $5000 over the span of 3 years on cosmetics in Fortnite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely priceless: Yeah - You're very correct with your assessment on how good Fortnite was and still is till now to those that are really into the game. But personally, with how toxic the gaming community has become, it's something I can't get into anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
