Interesting. The Internet's been pretty divided, with a lot of people supporting Epic because they ultimately want to see Apple's control over iOS reduced, and ultimately, so do I. But the fact is, if Apple allowed sideloading like Android did, Epic would still try to force Apple to allow them on the App Store despite breaking the rules because they want Apple to host their app and its updates. Those of us rooting for Epic aren't rooting for Tim Sweeney per se, we're rooting for the change he's bringing.
