Netflix is changing up its “take one movie star, insert into ok action movie*, rack up 80 million views” formula. This one has JGL *and* Jamie Foxx. — PolitiTweet.org

@_melb00m_ @daringfireball Do you think Fortnite runs two versions of the game - one, un-updated one that runs on android and ios, and one version with all the new stuff for everyone else? Hard to imagine tho not impossible I guess. But in any case players want the new stuff, will fall off w/out it. — PolitiTweet.org

Epic Games' internal name for its campaign against Apple and Google is "Project Liberty". Here's MS Word file for the complaint they filed against Google yesterday, after being kicked out of Google's app store. https://t.co/qaLveThgdR — PolitiTweet.org

@nickwingfield Yup, I get the mechanics. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@nickwingfield That’s a good zag zig! But this seems like an awful lot of trouble, and also requires a lot of play-acting on Epic’s part that seems hard for them to pull off for a long play. — PolitiTweet.org

Lazy thing but that what’s Twitter is for: Any actual antitrust experts who can explain what Epic can achieve in the short/medium term - vs a lawsuit that takes years, please lmk. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Obvious thing but that what’s Twitter is for: Supporting Epic against Apple/Google via press release is a minimal cost. Giving up material revenue/distribution - which Epic is currently willing to do - is not. — PolitiTweet.org

@daringfireball New “season” for fortnite - which reliably creates a spike of interest because of new maps, features, etc, expected early fall. Epic says Apple users won’t get the update, as things stand. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@daringfireball Nice. Quibble: timeline for Apple and epic to patch it up without affecting existing users is pretty short. — PolitiTweet.org

And, also: SensorTower estimates Apple customers spent $1.2 b on Fortnite since March 2018. Which means $840 mm to Epic, and $360 mm to Apple. Presumably those #s have been trending down, but that's still Real Money, particularly to Epic. So real cost to losing those customers. — PolitiTweet.org
