Shane explains why the CEO of Epic Games is a hypocrite who has never been as successful as the brands he attacks! What makes a game worth $80? Plus, a PlayView for a game that plays like WarioWare to…
Shane SatterfieldHostTim Sweeney has been making the interview rounds over the last week after the big State of Unreal 2026 presentation.
As I mentioned, this media tour comes hot on the heels of State of Unreal 2026, where he said the next version of Unreal Engine will allow developers to talk games into existence, and that it will allow Fortnite's cosmetics to be distributed to any game willing to make a deal with Epic.
Sweeney uses language with trigger words that make a lot of people think that they're on the same team.
He speaks about anti-monopoly while being the beneficiary of a couple himself.
He recently stated that none of the big three platform holders, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, are ultimately going to win the console wars.
If this Unity fever dream ever comes true, he's suddenly creating all that stuff for a single platform instead of a handful.
He initially stated that he was okay with paying the 30% of PlayStation and Xbox because they're smaller than Apple.
Either the payment processing, download bandwidth, and customer service a platform provides are worth 30% or they're not.
How it runs its business or what it did to establish the platform is practically meaningless.
That statement is just a red herring being deployed to try to gain sympathy for its cause.
He believes that 30% should only account for bandwidth and customer service.
Meanwhile, he's sunk hundreds of millions of dollars, maybe billions actually, into creating a platform that people still don't want to use at all with his Epic Games Store.
Attacking either Xbox or PlayStation could doom Fortnite or Epic's other endeavors if the fanboys come calling or at the very least generate a ton of negative publicity.
