I didn't read the case, but what is the main point of dropping rates? I was always thinking that if a corp owns something - they'll do whatever they want with it, it's their property. So a corp might even put rates to 50%+, but people decide what to use. Is it not?

Imagine if your CC charged you 30% on every transaction

Then I would change CC.
pearl elk
What if 30% is the industry standard
the only way to get a better rate is to buy a PC and load up Epic store 😛
plucky pagoda
The egregiousness of their take is only a small part of the action.
pearl elk
Google and Apple are close to 100% of the mobile market, so you really dont have a choice if thats your preferred platform
gilded lichen
If the 30% was the industry standard, then noone would have a choice.
plucky pagoda
it is the current standard.
plucky pagoda
but it's an arbitrary number, and there's no justification to it

But you know that Microsoft illegally avoided taxation and there was a court about it, and Microsoft used their money to drop this case and destroy the gov company that sued microsoft.

I mean, if Google nor Apple provide zero infrastructure for v-bucks sales, why should they get a cut? 🤔
they want some of that sweet money
if Epic wins its a big win for gamers
small step for epic but big step for gamer

Theres not even a technological barrier as epic have demonstrated, its just a company enforcing a number via contract alone without any real possibility of negotiation

Only for today, for those who haven't checked your Epic Games launcher recently.

What are you even referring too, Karol?
Pronouns that haven't been established by using a noun in your sentence make things confusing.

I used my US stimulus check to buy a Huawei phone just out of spite for the US government...

The United States is too worried about business that it is going to straight up fall out of any technology race...
Do companies in the US even have research and development?
0.000001% of profits go to research and development?
pearl elk
Yeah lots of companies have R&D funded by the US military budget
north torrent
If the government funds it, isn't that just Communism?
pearl elk
But did you know, US wont ban AR-15 but they will ban the SCAR, would you like to know why?
north torrent
O wait, no it isn't, because the profits don't go to the people.
It is basically like investing in the stock market, but the company you invest in keeps 100% of the profit and you get nothing.
So every $1 you put in you get exactly $0 back.
pearl elk
Because the SCAR is made by FN, not a US company
The US military budget is what keeps the worlds largest weapons exporter operational, makes you wonder if the US didnt export so many weapons would other countries need to develop so many to fight against em.
But aye, war is good for the economeh

Obviously, the second a platform does something you don't like, disagree with, is anti-competitive, or whatever, you should instantly stop using everything they've ever made, develop your own software and hardware from the ground up immediately, and then point out your grievances.

I don't think that a Boomer has ever once in the history of history blamed something on Millenials that was actually a Millenial thing.

AMD doesn't have a store.
Businesses would be a lot more friendly if we didn't live in a culture where quarterly gains are all that matters and customer or employee loyalty means nothing.
If they would get rid of corporate stock buybacks a lot of things would be instantly fixed.

Social safety nets to keep you from death or homelessness. Social safety nets that also keep other people from being so desperate for food that they murder you to steal yours. Roads, schools, fire department, police, a government to grant you things like passports and other records.
All sorts of things come from taxes, important things.
Is the United States even still a thing?
I thought they all died or Corona.
ancient hornet
it's basically the grand cycle of how things should work ideally :
- government builds roads and hospitals and schools
- population gets conveniance and health and safety and education
- population works a lot thanks to all that
- population is well paid
- population pays a lot of taxes
- government has a lot of money to build roads and hospitals and schools
median wraith
well schools are paid
ancient hornet
who said the US works? 😛
median wraith
still to me the maths don't return from the 25% taxes we pay
north torrent
Not nearly enough, unless you are counting colleges in what was formerly known as the United States.
median wraith
half of schools are paid here too
and public health care is only a thing if you generate income
ancient hornet
hard to generate income when your population is sick or dead though
pearl elk
Government taxes people to build roads
Government takes tolls on roads
Government takes motor vehicle registration costs
Government takes fuel tax
Government still has hands out to tax payers cuz its not enough

Gabe calls that a "value add" which is exactly what the problem is, value adds are extras not something you have to pay more to get.

Epic could have done a far better job wading into that particular battle if any of their store stuff was actually in an acceptable form whenever they did it

This isnt that old, that 25% and 20% is fairly new cuz Steam was losing big publishers to their own launchers

It only manages to explain it by making the very false assumption that a PC store is the same as releasing a game on a console.

it would if you were doing those transactions through steam

that was the whole point
plucky pagoda
it was over the top, but extremely funny.
ancient hornet
it was only as over the top as the Apple one was
pearl elk
Yeah some people are critising it as Epic being tonedeaf to whats going on in the world and its like wtf when Apple released theirs it was just as much bull going on and they were complaining too
plucky pagoda
Fair game. I love it but I agree it comes off as at least slightly disingenuous.
fathom wadi
back when that advert was originally on, our police force was beating Miners on a picket line.
When Epic made it, Apple were using child labour. Still are, probably always will.
pearl elk
Ive just heard people drop the BLM movement like you cant support both Epic and it
westerners really dont have any concept of what a real dictatorship is like anyways so its kinda silly to make any comparisons since 1984 is a work of fiction
fathom wadi
Internet people.
@pearl elk thats unfair. Anyone with half an education can read about dictators.
pearl elk
reading about them isnt the same as actually experiencing it
fathom wadi
no but thats not the point
I couldn't tell you what it was actually like living under Nazi germany, but I can claim it to be wrong and compere actions to others.
pearl elk
but my argument is that westerners complaining about western companies being tonedeaf cuz of BLM is just as bloody tonedeaf to the people who live under real heavy oppression
its like go wear a burqa you bloody nincompoops'
light spruce
I'm not parsing this
fathom wadi
its the internet. Failure to parse is a common procedure. Check the manual under "fuck it im out of here"
pearl elk
its like a white guy telling another white guy to shut up and support black people, yeah not tone deaf
light spruce
Yeah, I'm hung up on a couple of things here. Like... what BLM has to do with a corporate pissing contest and what any of that has to do with a dictatorship
social media was most definitely one
pearl elk
I have no idea, people are just saying that black people are oppressed and that to stop a real Orwellian nightmare go outside and protest or soemthin cuz what Epic is doing isnt a protest its just a money grab
Dont ask me where Jim Sterling got that angle from
I think he's just butthurt cuz he had to walk his large ass down the street in protest
and all Epic had to do was file paper

Jim is way smarter than he lets on, when he does good work you know it but some of his shit is just as shameless cashgrab as the companies he rallies against

Im okay with people making money but you cant really complain about PR stunts in a clip which is virtually a PR stunt for your almost 1 million subs

fathom wadi
When you assess your role in life. You have options. You can go down the route of negative capitalism, or neo-capitalism, where exploiting everyone you can is the only rule. Greed is good. But you sell your soul to do it. Seems to me like Tim is a person who cares more about nature and humanity than any of the money and things he owns. If money was a motivation, we simply wouldn't be having this talk right now.
light spruce
I wish I could remember what it was... it was something that was absurdly out of touch
fathom wadi
In the abstract sense money will always be a point to bring up. But this time, it's not about a singular entity's money. It's about power to the individual and their ability to get a slice. Thats real honest capitalism. Or as I call it, positive capitalism.
Try tell anti-capitalists that tho. Start a war I tell thee.

I didnt like that Jim said what will Epic do for you nothing, cuz the amount of free shit they give away is astronomical
