THREAD:
I think this Epic vs. Apple/Google thing is revealing a truth about us.

Epic isn& #39;t great. They have lots of problems as a company, including the tendency to try and push for change in the industry with a half-baked idea (Epic Games Store)

But what they& #39;re trying to do with these lawsuits (change the industry standard 30% platform cut) is good.

Now here& #39;s the important part: you can think Epic is bad, as an entity, and still think what they& #39;re DOING is good. But people want to either HATE them or LOVE them.

I& #39;ve noticed this issue in the American election as well (yes, I& #39;m Canadian, but on the Interweb, we& #39;re ALL American, sort of https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇺🇲" title="Flagge der kleineren Insel-Besitzungen der Vereinigten Staaten" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge der kleineren Insel-Besitzungen der Vereinigten Staaten">)

Some people don& #39;t like Biden. He& #39;s creepy with women/girls, and is barely left-leaning (he& #39;s practically right-wing by Canadian standards)

But what Biden is trying to DO is get rid of Trump. That& #39;s good. Sure, he might be only slightly better as president, but he& #39;ll be better.

What I see people doing is NEEDING to either love or hate Biden. It& #39;s an unnecessary dichotomy. Just fricken vote for him.

You don& #39;t need to love or hate Epic to see their goal as good. You don& #39;t need to be a "Biden supporter" to vote for him.

You don& #39;t need to love everything about someone to treat them with respect and kindness.
(To be clear, not talking about Epic/Biden with this last one)

Disconnect yourself from your tribal instincts. Bringing the platform cut down to 12% would be better for developers AND consumers. Google + Apple make enough money.
