@gamingonlinux Fortnite alone had $5.8 billion revenue in 2021, sadly a drop in a bucket, since it has been going on for years now.
@henrikpihl @gamingonlinux This. 👆🏼 Whilst it’s always a good thing to see a bad actor punished for ripping off consumers, even $520 million is just pocket change for #EpicGames … And we know from all the fines handed out to other big tech companies (#Facebook , #Google , #Microsoft , etc…) that it’s unlikely to change their behaviour.
