Wow. There was just zero reason for him to say anything. Nobody is accusing Fortnite of being unsafe for kids. And he chose to say that. For himself.
He's probably just trying to get noticed by Trump. "Hey, look at me! I'm on the side of you and the other pedoNazis! You're the best!"
"We have certain things in common, Donald. Enigmas never age, have you noticed that? A pal is a wonderful thing to have!"

Is EpicGames involved with Roblox? Because as far as minors go, I hear THAT game is a dumpster fire with zero redeemable qualities.
Going by the claims their CEOs make you could swap them and things would progress as usual. Or regress, rather.
As per their download page https://www.roblox.com/download , no. Not to say EGS is good, it's Roblox treasuring independency where they can.
Not really, no. It's clear that Epic took way worse a direction than Digital Extremes.
Reason #42 for open platforms: to shut down every politician’s incessant demands to all gatekeepers to censor all of their political opponents," Sweeney wrote in a first tweet responding to MacRumors' report of US politicians requesting that Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores.
Politicians want the offending apps removed from the app stores, and Sweeney thinks app store business is his business. He really ought to worry more about improving his own store.
But, his store has nothing to do with X. And, for example, Horses was banned from EGS too.
Classic Epic response!
It's almost impressive how Sweeney manages to have the most wrong take on every single issue.

Weird how many billionaires are just openly pro paedophia.
They've been given a green light for it by the pedo in chief. It's not that surprising really, they only care about themself (singular because there isn't any real solidarity among them).
Take names. Don't forget.

So, what you're saying is that Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is a pedophile?
A far-right pedophile since his concern is also that far-right speech would be "censored" (despite occupying a majority of media)
Majority of them are it seems. It's why the full Epstein files still haven't been released.
Or why they exist in the first place. Takes a village to make Epstein Island.
Oligarchs gunna oligarch.
Please don't trip into that fallacy. He may be a self-serving asshole, but blanket-labelling people pedophiles for their policies only helps those trying to monitor and censor our communication and thoughts, see chat control.

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors...
good for him i guess, but why is this news?
...is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents'
ah of course, makes sense now.
Tim Sweeney vocally supports child porn and deep fake porn? He certainly looks like the type of creeper, so I guess I'm not that surprised.
I wonder how many times he's been to Trump and Epstein's Pedophile Island 🤔
I thought "gatekeeping" was a good thing, to keep fandom spaces "safe from normies", so big corporations will only make stuff for "real, hardcore fans".
Yet another reason not to use the Epic Games Store.
Haven’t touched that pile of shit in years.
When he ports Fortnite to Linux, that's when I'll listen to his director, Epic.😆😆😆
Holy shit. I honestly can't believe people are willing to actually openly support that shit.
Umprompted too. It's not like he's been interrogated by, say, Nick Frost.
Seriously. It's genuinely making me worry about the few past interactions I had with him as the guy who created Jill of the Jungle and ZZT. Like, what might have happened if me or any of the other kids at the computer show were alone with him? What might he have done when no one was watching?
It's astonishing how arrogant and stupid this guy is. Surely he'd notice that this is a great argument against having large centralized services, right? Does he think Twitter is the only Microblogging thing on the net?
Hmmm. I think I won't be reinstaling the Epic Games Store app on my gaming PC any time soon. (My old drive failed December of '23..) I'm only playing two games anyhow - Horizon Zero Dawn and No Man's Sky and both I got through GOG.
NGL, I only tried the Epic Store to get Bioshock on one of their free giveaways.. and it turned out to be a bit much.
Really not into body horror games.. Or people that make excuses for maintaining platforms that enable the creation, and distribution, of CSAM.
See ya later, Tim.
...
oooooookayyyyyyyy.
billionaires, man: they not like us ._.
edit: oh wow i suddenly just realized, the fact that i never installed the epic games store and didn't accept from them even the things they were giving away FOR FREE means that i never aided or abetted this irredeemable monstrous pedophile scumbag sack of shit. I did not expect to feel vindicated today. What a pleasant surprise.
On the other hand, all I have in my Epic account are the free games. I expect those cost his company money.
Even so, I feel dirty and will close my account. I can get the titles I really like in Gog or Steam.
Yeah, I'd like to censor those pedophile politicians, with my rpg censor.
I think Musk and the Tim swine wants to be banned so they can cry about…
