Tim Sweeney, who made his fortune ripping off the work of an indie developer and who continues to rip off the work of indie developers, has no place in a true App Fairness Coalition. The man is a hypocrite.

The "GDPR" law mentioned in this article, that gives people a "right to be forgotten" - does that mean all sites must have a delete account function now or soon?

GDPR is a piece of EU regulation. All entities that handle the user data of EU citizens have to delete all user data relating to an individual when requested. This regulation comes into force on 25th May. The fine for not deleting user data when requested is up 4% of annual turnover.

The timing from the EU couldn't be better.

As has been said often (not sure who the original author is): "The tech industry needs to learn to distinguish between hate speech and speech they hate." This is clearly the latter.

And, yes, dig deep enough and you’ll find the same content on the other social media platforms. The difference being that the other social media platforms on iOS have guidance banning such groups - even if their enforcement of the rules is inconsistent.

Sadly, the current UK government is packed with ideologues who are completely detached from reality.

This from the CEO of a company who just had to pay a $245 million fine for tricking children into running up charges on its games. What a twat!

Epic also takes a 60% cut of third-party content for Fortnite. Until recently, it took a 95% cut. The hypocrisy is staggering.

Man, you're going to be pissed when you find out that all of Stranger Things is fictional.

Since when have ‘ports’ to the Mac been worth a damn? Sounds to me like a lazy developer unwilling to stay up-to-date.

There’s no need to insult someone who’s done some stellar work in porting games to Mac over the years and who has vowed to continue supporting those games.

The two games I've played that were fully optimised for Apple Silicon - Disco Elysium and Total War: Warhammer III - played beautifully. It's definitely not the hardware that's holding Mac gaming back.

As an app developer and a customer, I’m worried about fragmentation. I don’t want to submit my app to several app stores (with differing rules) and I don’t want to see Epic Games ruin the ecosystem with exclusives.
