All I wanted to see was a single screenshot or video. Ars used to be such a wonderful site.

Does anyone know if games will come back to MacOs?

But... what does it matter how it looks?

This being Epic and made because of a free to play game, I'm more interested in an analysis of how predatory it is. It's not like Epic is better than Apple at their core.

Literally just downloaded it. Even if it contains spyware, the freedom to choose to install spyware deliberately is refreshing.

No, don't think so. Apple's current initiative shows they still don't understand gaming.

Bizarre how the scare popup doesn't have a button to immediately go to the right place in Settings (or even just enable the feature right there). Typical Apple though. It's the same mess on macOS to allow running software installed from the web.

What data does the epic game store has access to if you install it?

Does it show clearly which data each app collects?
