I totally see where you're comin from, the problem is though, a lot of people, like you, think that the Wii U is only about playin the game on your controller with no TV. It's much, much more than that. Have you seen the Ubisoft Wii U conferences?

Lemme give you a few examples then:

In Ghost Recon Online, you can actually look through the UAV's eyes as you fly over the map on the controller screen. Then, you can even mark where the enemies are by a simple tap of the screen so that your teammates can see them.

In Killer Freaks, there's a versus mode where one person has a bird's-eye view of the map and the choose where to set the enemies and other variables on the map in order to overrun the 2nd player who is on the ground playing a first-person shooter. Basically, it's like Left 4 Dead with someone controlling all the zombies at once.

Not trying to bash you anything, I mean this in an informative manner but you cannot tell me you've seen those things on the GBA or Remote Play feature. Heck, neither of the things you listed even have a touch screen or gyro-sensor so those 2 factors alone just shows how much they pale in-comparison to the Wii U when it comes to capabilities. To compare a decade-old handheld and a half-assed feature that was hardly ever used to a current full-fledged system that was DESIGNED, BUILT, MADE for this kind of the thing is silly.

Other random neat things about the controller; it can be used in-conjunction with the Wii Remote, opening up even more possibilities, it has a mic in it so there's no need for a headset, and you can video chat with the damn thing. It's a neat device.

He expects the digital equivalent of opening up his own store inside of a Walmart or Target. It's absurd.

And he feels absolutely entitled to it, in a too-big-to-fail sense - because Unreal Engine is used by so many developers, banning Epic would hurt those developers relying on their tech, which would be super unfair to the developers.

Thank goodness you are there to defend the small guys Google and Apple. You're so brave, Christopher!

They are only losing money because Steam has a stranglehold on the market.

It's a play to attempt to win over the market so they can then realign pricing with what Steam has in the long run. The problem is they are doing only that and not actually building a better software supported platform on PC. Essentially, they're throwing money at the problem, not actually trying to compete by providing better service.

They've been open about how they so openly violate the terms of the platforms they distribute on.

They spent over a billion on legal battles, and also had significant layoffs. Maybe they should cater to their employees first before forcing governments to add more regulations for industries governments just do not understand. The EU DMA - Apple's policies and lawyers have made a mockery of it every step of the way.

And back when they openly and proudly violated Apple's policies, they tried using Fortnite to coerce its players (including children) to rally against Apple's 30% fee.

Which is the same 30% fee console makers apply, but Epic has no problem with that! Epic isn't fighting for you, they're fighting for themselves and don't mind siphoning the money they get from Unreal, even if it results in layoffs.

They have some good semi-giveaways.
