You might think Epic is a terrible corporation. But their ability to affect meaningful change on your daily life is effectively non-existent. Unless you are making a living being a Steam evangelist or something.
But Google has a massive amount of control over the internet. Between search, Android, Maps, ads, Gmail, etc. The level of "terribleness" they can approach vastly overshadows even the most evil stances Epic could take.
So, this "both sides are bad" take is a bit ridiculous.
The magnitude may be different, but that just makes this a "kettle meet pot" situation instead of the reverse. It's still hypocrisy.
