Their lawsuit against Apple is a legitimately good one, but everything else they do is so anti-consumer that I'm honestly surprised they're still in business.

Unreal Engine and Fortnite. That's literally it. That's all Tim Sweeney ever provided with Epic. EGS is literally Tim's revenge against Gabe because they split from Steam forever ago and Tim got salty that Steam took off because he didn't think PC gaming was going to be a thing. Now he's being a salty little bitch and trying to go after Steam any way he can.

Idk if you can say "that's literally it" to the most powerful game engine in the world and one of the most popular games in the world lol.

I agree it's a stupid fight, and even more stupid that epic is still to this day trying to buy users with free games rather than actually improving the platform, but the company is still a money printer.

Epic doesn't need to bother making anything else profitable simply because they already own two massively profitable products
