You can’t call it cosplaying while he has a track record and is actively championing small business.
Wild to me the people hating on epic for doing something great for small developers with no strings.
You can when he’s only doing so in an attempt to make more money himself.
He doesn’t give a shit about small businesses or consumers, only about how he can increase his own bottom line. The pretence that he just cares soooo much is the cosplay.
I can guarantee someone somewhere at Epic has run the numbers and they suggest the PR & potential increase in devs using the platform outweigh the potential losses. Even one indie game that blows up will cover the “losses” of hundreds or thousands of tiny devs not paying fees on the first $1m. That’s the bet they’re making.
You really think the Apple lawsuit would have happened if Cook had cut them a sweetheart deal?
