    Wow. There was just zero reason for him to say anything. Nobody is accusing Fortnite of being unsafe for kids. And he chose to say that. For himself.

      He’s probably just trying to get noticed by Trump. “Hey, look at me! I’m on the side of you and the other pedoNazis! You’re the best!”

        We already know they’re buddies; Tim Sweeney travelled to Saudi Arabia with Trump’s bribe-seeking entourage.

        Edit: better link

          I think the USA is a bit big to be considered an island

            Well if north-Korea can call itself and democracy, why can’t Trump call the us an island?

      Is EpicGames involved with Roblox? Because as far as minors go, I hear THAT game is a dumpster fire with zero redeemable qualities.

        As per their download page https://www.roblox.com/download , no. Not to say EGS is good, it’s Roblox treasuring independency where they can.

        Going by the claims their CEOs make you could swap them and things would progress as usual. Or regress, rather.

        Not really, no. It’s clear that Epic took way worse a direction than Digital Extremes.

      Reason #42 for open platforms: to shut down every politician’s incessant demands to all gatekeepers to censor all of their political opponents," Sweeney wrote in a first tweet responding to MacRumors’ report of US politicians requesting that Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores.

      Politicians want the offending apps removed from the app stores, and Sweeney thinks app store business is his business. He really ought to worry more about improving his own store.

        But, his store has nothing to do with X. And, for example, Horses was banned from EGS too.
