Sweeney maintains the Twitter verification process should be “a meritocracy,” as if that’s what Musk comping “a few” famous people against their desires who were unlikely to pay for it is.Īh, yes, certainly we can agree that the rich and famous– including the dead rich and famous–deserve more free things, even if they don’t want them, as long as it’s done to shore up the efforts of someone else who’s rich and famous. Sweeney, however, saw fit to take time out of his day to go on an extended rant about the complainants, calling them “losers and goons”. Epic Tim Sweeney is the CEO and founder of Epic Games, the company that brought the world 'Fortnite.
TIM SWEENEY EPIC GAMES TWITTER FULL
Speaking personally, the Macalope would rather dive antlers-first into a swimming pool full of silverfish than be tarred with a blue checkmark on Twitter at this point. “Epic’s Billionaire CEO Jumps On Twitter To Complain About Elites”Ī number of Twitter users have objected over the past few days to having blue checkmarks foisted upon them without their consent, making it appear as if they may have supported the efforts of libertarian trust-fund and government hand-out recipient Elon Musk to turn Twitter into his own personal litter box. What was Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, a man worth almost $5 billion, doing with his time right before this decision came down? Spending it on Twitter reliving not high school grievances against “the cool kids,” but junior high school grievances against “the cool kids.” On the plus side, the court also upheld the ruling against Apple’s anti-steering provision, so you may be able to go directly from the app to Epic’s site in order to be gouged for things that aren’t real. The Macalope has long been on the record as supporting App Store reform, but he has never believed the kind of reform that is needed would come about because of a lawsuit spearheaded by a company that runs its own store in some ways that would make even Apple blush but likens its fight against Apple to the fight for civil rights.
If you want to be gouged for virtual goods by Epic, you must go directly to its site. Sadly, this means that Epic will be unable to set up its own store within iOS which it can use to directly gouge people for virtual goods.
