Apostrophe/Overnight Sensation, One Size Fits All and Roxy and Elsewhere are prolly in my top tier. Instrumentals like Blessed Relief and Eat That Question are great.

And I plan to poop tomorrow, while on my cell phone.

Google and Apple can both drop off a cliff as far as I'm concerned. They're both monopolistic, just bad if not worse than what Microsoft was in the 90's. That being said, this Epic games/ Fortnite battle with these two companies is about to bleed into other mobile games and get much bigger. Grab some popcorn, the lawyers are coming.

In the end, monopolies ... public or private ... are never benign. You can quote me on that.

The real question with this battle of corporations between Epic Games, Google and Apple is this:

 

As a platform, what is a fair percentage to charge customers to use said platform? That seems to be what this fight is really about. Right now they are being stupid and counter productive while all parties involved are losing potential sales. They need to bring in a mediator and reach a compromise,

 

Cliffnotes:

 

What led to this is they were charging a 30% cut for all transactions, Epic games got pissed and cut out the middle man (Google- Apple) and made the currency available directly through an in-game menu. Google/Apple then got pissed and dropped Epic Games from their platforms, all new updates and purchases are no longer available.
