The original ad by Apple. It was the Reagan Era and the Democrats back them wanted everybody to thing Ronnie was the Big Brother and inject fears of an all intruding, all powerful state. Of course they shed that and now they are using the book as guideline.
I am te farthest thing from a gamer, but well played Fortnite.
No disrespect, but the original Apple 1984 ad had nothing to do with Reagan and opposition from Democrats.
Big Brother symbolized IBM and Apple was overthrowing the PC dominance with the introduction of the Macintosh. The tag line was, “On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you’ll see why 1984 won’t be like 1984.”

I think Wiki actually gets it right.
Yeah two big Orwellian corporations bashing each orher. One harvests and collects data for the CCP and the other kowtows and has it’s products made by the CCP. I am impressed that Apple would ban fortnite. That must anger chairman for life winnie the pooh
Fortnite came up with a way to allow in-app purchases (pay-for-win) that didn’t go through Apples payment services, and so didn’t give Apple their 30% cut. They did the same on Android and got banned there, too.
