So is apple btw.

This doesnt mean that Epic Games doesnt have a case though.

"can you imagine when you first install your phone they ask which store app do you want to download?" - Kirby

Can you imagine that?
Google probably wants to join on a anti trust case against apple.

Remember computers and windows?
They used to ship only with windows Internet Browser, until they were forced to give people options and treat them the as equals.
Now people can use FireFox, Chrome ect.

This is that,... .but instead of a computer, its now a phone, and stores/software.

These aren't the same situations. Apple makes both the hardware and the software (the OS), so it's all their product. On the other hand, both Google and Microsoft are OS providers who tried to force their software regardless of which hardware the consumer bought. If software providers wanted to have the same control as Apple, they would have to make their own hardware. But that is hard, so they don't do it (anymore).

And if Epic were truly against royalty fees, they wouldn't charge them on their own store. Why do you think they do that?

its something we dont know as nintendo clients, but there is a difference between an absurd royaltyfee or a freemarketfee
