Epic: Google and apple have a monopoly and being anti competitive!<br>Also epic: <b>takes games off steam and makes them epic exclusive as well as removing support for other platforms</b><br><br>... Something doesn't add up here guys,(reply>), @SGGhostRider sharing a WIKI page and touting it as fact while also ignoring business reports good job.,(reply>), @snintendog What you're saying is not possible because there are not that many shares available to be traded, Tim Sweeney is the owner of over 50% of the company(which is a common practice in the stocks market used to keep the total control of the company in any moment) and the rest are the shares third party companies can trade, so in the last instance tencent could have 70% of "the publicly available shares" but not of the total company," which is not correct because as stated previously they own 40%(around 80% of the available shares).<br>You can check any of this in the Epic Games' wiki as much as in the tencent's one: <a href=""https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent"">https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent</a><br><br>And i don't lack awareness", i do my research and stay informed about the important things that surround me, tencent is not one of them because they don't control anything i use nor have any power over anything where i live, literally they are nobody here, so yea, not fighting pointless fights, when that changes i will change my stance, but not before, i prefer to direct my efforts to more immediate problems.<br><br>Edit: I just noticed Epic Games Inc. is a private company and not a public one, so the fact that tencent has 40% of their shares actually means even less than i though in first place because of all the limitations that comes with being a private company's share holder. Private company's shares are not traded the same way as public ones so besides tencent making "some money" out of owning them there is no much more they can do.,(reply>), @Nishant Rajani I say "do your own research" because it would be much more efficient, there are too many things to fit/discuss in a youtube comment section, even in a dedicated forum topic it would be pages and pages, and i'm not either willing to go any further with it, i'm not getting anything in return for arguing here, "who seeks shall find".,(reply>), @SGGhostRider dont know where you got 40% tencent by last jan was reported in having 70%. Also its a monopoly in china and you dont care? The lack of awareness is amazing so you are 100% fine with removing 2 competitors completely in favor of a TRUE monopoly to take its place?,(reply>), @SGGhostRider okay I'll get it clear for you.<br><br>Apple being unfriendly for repairs-fact<br>Apple screwing up their own devices- conspiracies<br><br>Also do your own research sound same as Anti-vaxxers or flat-earthers so don't be in that field.<br><br>And and the most important part yeah every company is in for profit but companies like Apple and Google know that to earn profit in long-term they can't be an ass in everything and deny is as much as you want, when it comes to privacy apple actually do care. They're not some supervillians from a movie who want to be bad guys for the sake of it. And yeah companies won't do anything if there's nothing in return but so would any human being. So just try to stay in the real world and know that you can dislike some practices of a particular company but if you see bad in everything they do, you're probably too bias and should keep it to yourself.
