“I just told him I’m not really comfortable being the Face of this on Android with zero leadership support,” he told his colleague Alec Shobin at the time.
We’re now hearing what he meant:
At this time, I didn’t feel like anyone had approached me personally and said this is a potential path that we’re really considering. It wasn’t just speculation or meetings to determine what could be, couldn’t be. No one came to me from a leadership perspective and say we know we just did this, we had you establish a relationship, this is a potential path we’re going down and this is what the outcome could potentially be, and therefore I felt I didn’t have support internally or was being involved in what I could potentially be involved in.
He says that after the plan was set in motion, he needed to continue to maintain a relationship with Google — but no one else from Epic would join him in meetings and calls. He asked: “are we just pawns in Tim’s game?”
