Nobody looks good here but kudos to Epic for having a backbone and trying to do the right thing.
Agreed, but I will say it’s easy for Epic to have a “backbone” when it involves not paying out $200k. Seems like a perfect scenario for them, unless runner up makes a claim to the prize money.
The gray area of them playing from Belarus is not so gray in my opinion. Everyone knows they have Russian’s hand up their ass.
Lawyers will get involved. If they wanted to send a message they could donate the winnings to the Ukrainian red cross
I like that.
$200k to epic is like a penny to us. Meaningless.
I'm sure it was the 40% of Tencent's stake over anything else.
