we've created the stick. and we used the stick. it wasn't long until the stick was used to hurt.
then there was the rock. the rock that sparked fire. fire that was warm. fire that was hot. fire that burns. fire that kills.
then there's the gunpowder. gunpowder that makes the sky light up with the brilliance of fireworks. gunpowder that, concentrated in an explosion, brings death by the tens.
then came the bomb. built for nothing but total annihilation.
and in the face of peace, the corporate came along, building their own creation: the zoomers. the zoomers flocked to their games, flossing like no tomorrow, dragging their buddies in with great zeal as they crowded over Product™.
and now the zoomers are weaponized, ready to reign hellfire upon the rival corporates with Brand Loyalty™ rivalling even the most extreme of propaganda-ridden soldiers.
i bet half of these kids don't even know what 1984 means.
Here's a TL;DR for you cave skulled troglodytes too bicycle brained to make a Google search: Apple takes a 30% cut of every payment if you have your shit on their store. Fortnite bypassed that to allow all in-game purchases directly from Epic. Apple bans Fortnite. Epic is now going into a lawsuit against Apple. This is one of their stunts to get public favour on their side.
picture this: Fortnite, one of the many creations of Epic Studios, also the creator of the Epic Games Store, known for its many infamous endeavours with Tencent and locking games into exclusivity deals on PC platforms, is now waging war against corporate tyranny Apple™ (which needs no introduction already) using nothing but the power of giant propaganda material plastered across its game to its audience members which the majority are most definitely children under the age of 16.
I'm not taking any sides or forming any opinions here cause' quite frankly, no matter what I say, either victory is still gonna be hip-breakingly hilarious to me. All this, for in-game purchases in one of the mobile versions of a game (it's still untouched in Google Play) that's already free on PC to begin with.
I take what I said back, 2020. You truly are the best fucking year in the history of years. Who would've thought we'd see the fight against corporate tyranny being spearheaded by another corporate giant?
In the first age, in the first battle, when the microtransactions first emerged, one stood. Burned by the embers of in-game purchases, his soul blistered by the fires of overpriced skins and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual purchases.
In his ravenous greed he found no peace, and with boiling blood he scoured the Season Pass seeking vengeance against the zoomers who had wronged him.
He wore the crown of the Epic Games Store, and those that tasted the bite of his wallet named him... the Zoom Slayer.
