I'm more interested in the redacted parts. All this just shows is shit we already knew... the majority of these companies' profits are due to whales that will fork over cash for Free-To-Play shit and Microtransactions.

Interesting to see that considering Sony fanboys are constantly telling me Xbox is a dead brand.

Updates on this, as the only people who are covering this suit are boring news articles, fortnite channels who suck epic's dicks, or law firms who get all legal. So only a few channels are doing unbiased reporting



Bulletpoints from video:
  • Because the viewings were open, people spammed "FreeFortnite" "bababooey" and shit before they learned how to mute audio
  • Tim Cook didn't know who Tim Sweeney was when he email him
  • Apple starts by going "What will the world be without Apple? If Epic has its way we will lose Apple from our lives"
  • Apple says "Minecraft and Roblox aren't games, they are full fledged applications on its own" because people can share mods and create shit
  • Witness were called for Stadia if it was still alive, they couldn't confirm. Twice.
  • Epic made $5.4 billion on just fortnite in 2018, more than its rest of division combined
  • Epic thinks 2023 will be when EGS will be profitable
  • Wolfire games was called too because their lawsuit against Steam for not able to discount their games elsewhere. That lawsuit is ongoing.
  • Testimony against Sony - their monopoly allows super prices on their digital store, another lawsuit filled against Sony for anti-comsumer practices
  • Epic has to pay Sony for doing crossplay for Fortnite - the only console which charges money for that
  • Tim Sweeney says "Fortnite is not a game, its a MetaVerse, its a phenomenon" because of concerts and create shit just like minecraft
  • Nvidia was called because GeForce Now was kicked off app store because it was game streaming and people could buy microtransactions for many games, apple wasn't getting anything
  • Microsoft was called, had to reveal a lot of confidential shit about Xbox - like its sold at a loss and only subscriptions and store purchase makes them money
  • Epic tried to pay $200 million for Sony's exclusivity for PC releases, but got turned down. Exclusive games might be the only other source of income outside fortnite

Could have spent all of that revenue on making a good handheld console that could beat the PS Vita.

Instead, they gave us the Xbox Series X. *sigh*
The vita had games though, a portable xbox would just be a portable dvd player and oversized mp3 player

doubt it, didn't even a shitheap like borderlands 3 sell more on steam in it's first week than 6 months on egs? unless of course they paid randy with usb sticks full of squirting teens magic tricks. and only a retard would pay 200+ bucks for a franchise that was always weeb as fuck and is pretty much done after 3 fizzled out, most of that demographic already played kingdom hears already anyway.

more on that by chance? their reasoning was fucking retarded and smelled more like desperate PR, so more details about that would be nice.

Hasn't this not only been known forever, but hasn't Microsoft basically said that Xbox consoles are only a thing as an access point to Gamepass for the better part of two years now?

This is not a secret, everyone knew this, that is why they shifted to shilling exclusives like the rest and focus on Xbox game pass

I mean, the studio is run by furries so the reasoning was always gonna be retarded and a desperate whine for attention.

Those with connections to the Second Battle of Fallujah discuss the Middle East in media and mistrust of the US military, and ask who the game will actually ask players to empathize with.
