No shit? Companies will kowtow to curry favor and increase their profits every single time.
He’s an opportunistic jackass, but he’s not wrong.
In other news, business people say whatever they can get away with to make more money.
No shit right.
People need to stop anthropomorphizing corporations. They are not moral and simply respond to incentives.
They earned good will saying black lives matter and now they earn political will by saying trans lives don’t.
Nothing they say is more than PR; no person, thing or idea matters except increasing profits.
Not who I expected would be saying it loud, but I’ll take it.
No shit Sherlock Holmes
He’s 100% right. (Still a douche for what he did to Bandcamp though)
What has he done to bandcamp?
He bought the company to bolster his lawsuits against Apple and Google, only to fob it off to Songtradr a few years later in the middle of the staff unionising. Songtradr then sacked half the staff (coincidentally all the ones who were part of the union) and still refuse to recognise the union to this day.
That’s disgusting.
If they’re willing to say and do anything to convince government to advantage large corporations at the expense of workers and consumers I don’t think they’re “pretending” to be republicans.
Ok Tim
News flash!
This, just in: “Leaders of capitalist meat grinders prepared to lie to keep money flowing and try to pull in more”
I’m shocked.
It’s funny because the majority of voters thought voting for meat grinders means they’ll get the meat, not be the meat.
When Tim fucking Sweeney calls you out on your bullshit, you know you’re a special kind of piece of shit.
Not really. Tim Sweeney would sell his grandmother to appear cool / anti-establishment / consumer friendly - while trying everything to establish Epic Store as a monopoly. Once he achieves that, he would lick boots just like the others.
Totally, he wants to be in complete control but since he isn’t, he’s taking shots at people kissing the ring. Were he in control, he’d kiss the ring and beg for regulations on his competitors and not himself.

When the worst person you know made a good point.
A broken clock is right twice a day.
Isn’t “skirt antitrust laws, and ultimately 'rip off consumers and crush competitors” making them officially conservatives?
That’s just every major company nowadays
I don’t get it, what’s so “Epic” about this CEO?
I came here to make this joke, but I would have gone with something like:
“He’s not that epic of a CEO 🙄”
And he’s 100% right.
They’re all lining up to kiss Trump’s stinky ass because they expect him to provide them with an unprecedented opportunity to thoroughly and completely fuck us all, and there’s nothing they want more in the world.
They are disgusted by Trump but also love what he can do for their wallet. It’s all about money.
