Quite frankly I agree, but was being more pessimistic to show that the original point stands regardless of how you feel about his time at Microsoft.

Fell for what? From all publicly available information, Bill Gates is an objectively better person that is putting his money to far better good than Elon and is an example of how billionaires should behave.

Does that mean that he's overall a net "good" person in the grand, karmic, life total sense? Hard to say, given the abuse that Microsoft perpetuated to become Microsoft, probably not, but that doesn't change any of the first part.

AAA gaming shows the effects of late term capitalism on gaming.

I feel like all the coverage of this leaves out a massive gaping logical hole.

Like anti-venom / anti-bodies are produced by injecting a horse with venom and then collecting the anti-bodies it produces as a result.

In this situation our man Tim is that horse, and he had to inject himself with 900 different venom injections to produce these broad anti-bodies.

Is the plan going forward, to give horses 900 different venom injections to try and recreate this? Is there a synthetic way of making a known anti-body that they're not mentioning? If there is, then why are we still injecting horses with so much snake venom?

Lmao, the fuckepic and 'Tim Sweeney is a bastard man' sentiments were always wildly overblown.

The fact that anyone took Apple's side in this case (because the Epic game store paid for a couple exclusive games to try and break into the market) is laughably childish.

Apple literally rips off the entire world to the tune of billions of dollars a year through app store mafia extortion fees alone, let alone the rest of their anti-competitive bullshit.

Epic was just trying to break into the Apple / Google / Steam monopolies and made a couple unpopular / anti-consumer business moves on a couple games (all the while taking afar smaller cut of profits than any other store), meanwhile Apple has based their literal entire multi-decade business model on anti-consumer choices and done that for every single hardware and software device they sell you.

They are not remotely comparable. Epic was always fully in the right in their anti-monopoly legal battles.

This is literally lemmy, a (relatively) niche platform where somebody is asking about a (relatively) niche subject. I dont think anything about this is a average person.

'Average person' was in quotes because it's the language you used to describe someone not comfortable with the command line.
