I wasn’t “licking big corporate boot” in the first place. I said that epic have no one but themselves to blame, which is true. I said if epic did to me what they did to Apple, I’d tell them to get fucked if they ever tried to put stuff on my store again.
No bootlicking at all, but that doesn’t stop some losers from throwing out the term because they hate company X. Apple built a product, and they’re entitled to make it a closed ecosystem. We, as consumers, are entitled to not buy or use their products if we don’t like them, their policies, etc.
People vote with their wallets, and unfortunately for the Apple haters, the votes keep coming up Apple no matter how many recounts there are. Android is right there as an alternative and lets you do basically whatever you want with it, yet outside of third world countries the iPhone rules the roost.
