There’s really not much of anything here. The headline and the beginning of the story made it sound like Erin from The Office was burning crosses and shit. Nope, she attended some corny debutante ball thing that has a racist past. Most of the US has a racist past.

Good thing it’s a bench trail. Otherwise it could have ended up in a split decision.

Epic is clearly playing the long game here. They know that if they lose that they can always a-peel the ruling. 

“I honestly don’t know"

I love MST3K and eagerly backed the last Kickstarter.

... and could not bring myself to back this. One is financial: I’m not as employed as I was the last time. Second is finding the concept kinda... skeevy is too strong a word, but I already object to the increasing number of streaming services gating more and more…

Where’s all the EGS bros here to justify why this is a good lawsuit? :)

Yes, finally. Thank god.

Every article about this lawsuit has been either ‘neutral’ or ‘in favor’ of Epic. Even in the recent article on Epic stealing money from developers in their free give-aways, Kotaku had apologia. Even this is ‘WHY DIDN’T THEY CARE ABOUT TIM SWEENY!? HE’S IMPORTANT!”

“where one executive issues an impassioned selfishly motivated plea for marketplace reform more profits for EPIC, which is beholding to Apple to get onto an app store so they can bleed kids’ parents for money on questionable products that are called gambling in countries outside of the USA, fine-tuned to exploit…

Moons over my Tammy? (I know, I know)

Exactly, its more convenient! Just like when I’m on a storepage debating to buy this game on sale it’s more convenient for me to scroll down and see reviews to get a general impression of a game rather than have to alt+tab and bring up Metacritic

High five on loving the first Life Is Strange. Can’t comment on Before the Storm, though, as that was one game I never thought needed a prequel.

Feel free to rant as much as you like, but it’s absolutely an RPG. It has more choice, and interaction than TW3, not to mention different playstyles, customizability, etc. It isn’t Skyrim, but it never claimed to be. The no-true-scotsman nonsense people have been spouting about the RPG aspect of the game is pretty…

Apple effectively does own a monopoly on platforms that run it

It’s intentional as it ensures less competition for Apple in it’s own environment. From a customer point of view this does nothing to help their experience, and only hinders their choices.

“Apple doesn’t go out of their way to tell their customers about walled gardens or how they work.”

An exploding product - unless it is specifically marketed as an explosive - is a defective product. The walled garden is not a defect. It is an intentional aspect of their ecosystem. You may not like that aspect of the ecosystem, but it may not bother other consumers that prefer the security advantages (whether real…

Or, they are aware that it is a walled garden, and either don’t care or prefer it that way. Android uses need to stop pretending that they are the only people who make rational decisions based on their needs as a consumer, and that everyone else is being manipulated/is ignorant about the tech they pay hundreds to…

Ah TwitchBernieBro,

I’d say that’s a very specific process for activating a demon gene but it’s not like I’m a geneticist or anything so what do I know?
