Microsoft sides with Epic
Extra
The enemy of my enemy eh Microsoft?
What Apple is doing to Microsoft is blatantly anti-competitive. Iām sure it didnāt take much for Epic to convince them to team up.

All I will do is watch this pan out from the sidelinesā¦I have no stake in apple (though their iPods are solid) or Epic.

Seeing these corporations having a slap fight and expecting us to care (on Epic side of things) is a fucking laugh riot. I hope all involved get bleed dry.

MS has the same position as basically all video game software developers, they just have enough clout for it to matter. Apple pulling down Fortnight wasnāt even brought up. If Apple just left it at that, I doubt Epic would have had much of case. However Apple decided to cut itās nose off to spite itās face and essentially lock out Unreal Engine for being further update on their platform. So any company using the engine, which is lets be honest is damn near everyone at this point, is getting screwed over.

At this point Mikeās recent actions combined with everything else makes him a liability to the company. They apparently tried to negotiate a golden parachute situation for him to leave but by basically doubling down and removing the board it is now ALL on him. If he canāt right the ship with the employees, investors and fans he is going to take the entire company down with him.
For his own sake it is a bigger gamble then just stepping aside because with the right funds and enough good will be could have helped create a different development company.
Thatās a phrase I never thought I would hear.
Since Microsoft has the majority share of the PC market, even if you include the freely given away Linux Distributions.
Especially since Microsoft owns some Apple Stock.
Way Apple been in the past with games, I doubt they ever cared. You be actually surprised or even in disbelief to hear what companies donāt actually care about gaming.
Eh, at this point, i almost believe nothing they say about Mike.
It feels more like they overreact to him being socially inept, rather than him being malicious in some way

I disagree.
The reason why cancel culture has become a cancer is because people keep giving imbeciles on social media power.
So far the only thing we have seen is him being socially inept, nothing more.
But people want to try to cancel as he was some kind of sexual predator.
Fuck that shit.

Btw, if i was in charge for a hiring process where he was in he will be immediately disqualified for taking internal issues to social media.
And is just not me, no company here will ever hire someone who would go and post shit online be truth or not.

admittedly i donāt give two shits about mike z or skullgirls but him saying fuck it nobody wins is extremely petty but also something id probably do if niggas tried to run me outta my own company. this situation couldāve been avoided if he had thought for a second before the canāt breath joke or even an immediate apology on another note the lab zero employees have to walk it like they talk it and find new jobs or suck it up i guess.

Outside a bad joke and having no game, he has no done anything that requires him to leave.
He already apologized.
He doesnt need to do more than that.
The imbeciles on social media just want him ruined.
The last thing he needs to do is give those idiots power.

Todayās haul
The copy of Virtue Fighter Remix came with the Japanese Saturn which I did indeed score for 75 dollars.
The copy of Final Fantasy Tactics is gonna go in an old and empty FFT case I have and am gonna pop up on eBay or something. Got it for only 8 bucks so should be real easy profit.
And before anyone gets clever, the sheets are the wash!
