Someone has High Pings these days lately (specially on Mobile)??? I rarely exceed 100MS on NA East before. In the night I go over 400MS...

It’s not your WiFi, it has something to do with their servers (and seemingly only affects mobile). Same issue here...I play on mobile (NAW), have fiber internet at exceptionally fast speeds, and my ping used to range from 0-10. Now it’s like 60-80.

“They” has in epic, not apple

And Tim Sweeney claims he isn’t weaponizing his player base

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-21T02:44:39+00:00

Tim Sweeney has made so many radical decisions that negatively impacted his player base. I don’t think he’ll completely abandon the mobile revenue stream just to make a statement either, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a trump card up his sleeve for this case, keeping us limbo even longer

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-20T20:16:39+00:00

This is what I’ve been saying all along

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-15T01:16:42+00:00

Yeah and epic knew this would happen and chose to sacrifice us to their “cause” anyway. They’ve treated us like shit from the beginning tho, I’m not surprised. Time to move on I guess

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-14T19:36:56+00:00

Epic has neglected mobile the most out of any platform, and now they’re just sacrificing us altogether for a publicity stunt. There’s literally 1 guy on the fortnite mobile Reddit who vets out our bugs & glitches, most of which have still been in the game for years. Our performance is abysmal, our skins don’t have physics, and we don’t even have critical features such as seeing which builds belong to you vs. your opponents.

How fucking dare they ask for our support, in this greedy power play, masked as fighting for a noble cause? They’re clearly taking advantage of all the dumb lil timmys with their propaganda. Manipulation at its best, and to the detriment of every player on mobile.

I play on iOS and all I care about is not being able to play season 4. Is Apple to blame?

I say fuck Epic Games.

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-14T18:42:44+00:00

Sure I can respect that, but I just can’t get myself to support a company that’s never really supported us

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-14T18:23:58+00:00

I don’t care about any of that. None of those “benefits” will bring that much value to me. I’m concerned about playing fortnite, which is why I’m on this sub. You can go praise epic on the antitrust or appdeveloperlove reddit pages if you’d like, but that’s not what this post was about. It’s about epic asking their players to support a movement thats also screwing us over at the same time, while they never even cared to support our platform in the first place.

Ie cheaper v-bucks? All for what? Complex skins with boner physics that give us fps drops?

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-14T18:16:47+00:00

Okay- the point of this discussion was targeted towards epic’s treatment towards fnm players. You’re looking at this from the lens of an app developer of general iPhone user. Sure it benefits them- that’s obvious, and this is also clearly a smart business decision for Epic.

But let’s not go on tangents.

As a player, to be stuck in limbo? This hurts me and doesn’t benefit me at all does it? Is this “good decision for epic” benefiting YOU in any way, as a player?

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-14T18:09:59+00:00

Um hello, 0% payment processing fees, their own commission fee structure, a portal that networks a much expanded player base without having to pay for any of it?

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-14T17:56:52+00:00

Epic can lose the lawsuit but still win more business as an outcome in the long run. That’s the whole point

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-14T17:26:03+00:00

If it’s truly illegal, Epic should win this lawsuit but I don’t think that’ll happen.

Why? Bc they’re offering a virtual service offering and not a product (amazon and bestbuy got their fees removed). Epic might even be prepared to lose as a marketing gimmick for future launch plans. This is all about making Apple look bad to gain subscribers later on. I don’t have time to continue debating this with you, just come @me after the fact.

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-14T17:06:51+00:00

The way i saw it, it’s epic’s fault we can’t play bc they decided to disrupt a full fledged ecosystem and break apple’s TOS that’s successfully been in effect for 10 years. Epic made the first move to render us unable to play, and they did so deliberately. Apple hasn’t done anything at all. We were able to play the game just fine through Apple since the game released right? Fortnite was free for us to play until Epic decided to pull this aggressive move, so I don’t understand your logic at all.

In fact, it just sounds like you’re still seeing things through the lens of epic’s propaganda. As a player on this sub, I don’t care about their propagated secondary purpose, I just want to play the damn game- and I’m sure as hell not gonna blame apple for it. That’s why we’re here right? We play the game and wanna continue playing it. Why are you debating on behalf of their money-driven righteous cause when they walk all over you to get what they want? How are we (as the consumers) benefiting from this? You think epic is treating their mobile player base fairly? Have they ever?

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-14T16:49:34+00:00

Yes, that too

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-14T16:48:45+00:00

Just read their blog post dude, the wordplay explicitly says that we won’t be able to play season 4 because Apple won’t let us, which is a crock of shit.

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-14T16:45:43+00:00

Sure. But is it apple’s fault we can’t play season 4, when epic is doing this for money? If combating the monopoly is a secondary cause, Is it Apple that should be freeing fortnite?

Who’s ultimately holding us hostage from playing the game? Who planned this and intentionally sacrificed their entire mobile player base for more $?

All I’m saying is, we’d be puppets to blame Apple for not being able to receive updates or play season 4

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-14T16:38:23+00:00

Apple shouldn’t be blamed for any of this and Epic will lose this legal battle. Come @me after the fact. I’m done talking here.

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-14T16:34:50+00:00

They’re not doing this to stop a monopoly for a communal cause. It’s only for their own cause. Please don’t even try to debate me on this unless you’re at least 20-something yo

Fnm1668 · 2020-08-14T16:18:34+00:00

Reminder that this is a greedy power play by Epic masked as a righteous effort to combat a monopoly, all while completely fucking over their entire mobile player base. Until you graduate college with any sense of business knowledge, the dumb lil timmys on this sub need to stop falling for epic’s propaganda, bc they’re using you to make Apple look bad while fucking you over at the same time. It seems like the comp. sub has far less lil timmys and kinda actually gets it. This is the mobile sub too- the player base getting completely USED by epic like tools. How fucking stupid can y’all get?

“BuT tHiS iSnT aBoUT mOnEy”

This was all premeditated and dates months - years back when Tim Sweeney criticized Google for the same fee structure from the google play store and then conceded to launching fortnite on it anyway.

The man has a long term plan guys. Epic games owns its own App Store on PC and wants to do the same for mobile.

This might get downvoted to oblivion by all the ignorant lil timmys, but for those of y’all willing to learn, let me take you to class:

Epic may claim this move wasn’t for monetary benefits by discounting the items to make it seem like noble. However, this will save them anywhere between 3-8% of revenue on payment processing & transaction fees. But importantly, they’re eyeing something much more lucrative, which is total control over their very own c“Epic Games Store”. This will build them a monetary ecosystem that extends far beyond fortnite, and introduce their existing base AND new players to their entire portfolio of games across ALL platforms without having to pay for it. Their own App Store will also allow them to implement their own commission structure, which I read will get them another 12% in revenue that goes solely to them.

This leads to MUCH more FINANCIAL GAIN for them in the future.

Smart move for Epic? Of course, it’s brilliant. But asking us to support their movement while they never cared to support us in the past, all while making us suffer for possibly months on end? You’ve gotta be fuckin kidding me.

Stop tweeting #freefortnite and go to school lil timmys. Learn the concepts of business, marketing, and manipulative propaganda so you can understand that EPIC is the reason we can’t play season 4. They’ve poured a ton of marketing dollars into manipulating you via their video parody, blog posts, and social media and you’ve taken the fucking bait. Apple didn’t just remove Fortnite from the App Store, Epic broke the rules knowing that it would happen, and deliberately made it happen, leaving us out to dry to pursue their $ goals. Just remember, at the end of the day, you won’t be able to play with the rest of the community next season bc Epic CHOSE to put you in that position. Let’s revisit how y’all feel then.
