word - I feel like this is the real question.

Obvious joke that no one with a working brain would be mad about aside, why are they giving that goon a platform in the first place?

It’s a minority stake as in, it’s a stake other than the majority stake of Epic, but it’s also worth noting that the minority stake in question is 40% of the company.

Yes, but Epic’s CEO sided with Blitchung and supported a free Hong Kong during that controversy last year. If China (or a Chinese company) actually had any tangible influence over Epic they would have flipped their shit and did everything they could to destroy Epic. But none of that happened. It’s just the bog…

A Chinese holding company (TenCent) owns a minority stake in the company while Tim Sweeney himself owns the majority of the company (more than 50%).

I absolutely hate that I’m standing up for Apple here but...ya.  They are right here.  Their policies apply to everything and everyone equally, it’s not like they’re singling out Epic. And if they do it FOR Epic, they’ll have to do it for everyone.  And I....also kind of can’t blame them for not wanting to allow just…

Welcome to the end game of infinite growth and capitalism 

Yeah! Because Epic totally won’t end up with their own cult fanboys.

The whole 1984 angle and having all of this response prepared in advance really put a sour taste in my mouth. Trying to create this weird public discourse and use your arguably easily-influenced fan base to try and get what you want is...I mean, it’s on brand but it’s really gross. The extremely public and…

Apple used to be interesting. Then they became commercial and lackluster. Then whatshisname came back. And they became interesting again. But they got a little lazy.

No, although among the more economically developed nations, you’re among rare company in electing them to the highest office in the land.

Dear rest of the world:

The audacity of caucasity....
