Epic founder Tim Sweeney has apologised on behalf of the firm's VP Mark Rein, who interrupted a panel of indie devs to blast their marketing techniques at the Develop Conference last week.
In a rather unexpected response, Tim Sweeney admitted Rein "can jump in with guns blazing sometimes, invited or not", and apologised for the VP's outburst, before going on to reply to individual comments below the blog post.
The Supreme Court seems to have given it's final verdict on Epic and Apple's legal battle in the US.
Three years after Fortnite-maker Epic Games sued Apple and Google for allegedly running illegal app store monopolies, Epic has a win. The jury in Epic v. Google has just delivered its verdict — and it found that Google turned its Google Play app store and Google Play Billing service into an illegal monopoly.
oooo shiiiit
well, there ya go
but i think the biggest issue are the judges in these cases.
most of them have no clue about all them things.
ii wonder what the judge will decide Epic actually "won" or what the out come is.
This is terrible news for consumers, while Epic and others get richer we'll now have to pay more for our devices.
Phil and slimey company sitting up and plotting.... expect to hear how Sony is anti-gamer for refusing to have GamePass on their ecosystems they may very well do this to avoid 2027 . I can imagine his email to Satya...."we got them" lol.
The Epic Game Store has two free titles they are giving away this week.
We are very sorry for Marky's little outburst. He has been a very naughty vice president. Because of his actions he will not be able to play with his Yacht, jumbo jet or $1500 hookers for a week. This has been very embarrassing and we give you our full apologies.
Is epic just a company full of douchebags and this guy has to keep them in check or something?
Oh I was there the way he was yelling it was unreal..
"When you have millions of customers, you can't talk to them all. Many of the Epic folks are in frequent contact with enough gamers that we have a pretty clear idea of what the community is thinking"
I liked that bit at least we can be happy in the knowledge that Epic know PC gamers think they are arse holes. As for this whole Mark Rein business what a bloody child. It is about time Mark grew up and started acting like an adult. The same could be said for a lot of Epic staff members including that Cliff guy.
I mean is this surprising this is coming from a company that silences everyone that gives criticism on the forums.
