Seriously, I actually agree with what they're arguing in the lawsuit, but it's one of those "worst person you know manages to make a good point" situations. You don't want to actually agree with them, because you understand they have ulterior motives for having that position.

Despite Google being the bad guy in this, I certainly do not fucking want a shit-ass company like Epic to fucking win.
