Lets say a unknown entity ( implying: not epic ) is allowed to open a app store called unknown app store on both ios/android why are you so against this? The current situation will not hold, it might last another 10 years. But it will get opened, book it. Economic arguments are flawed, because they allready make money on the hardware and the OS on each phone sale. Supporting the stores infrastructure i can agree with that a royalty fee is needed, thats why i feel what epic does isn't correct. But the idea behind it that they should be able to open a storefront just like on pc is a valid point |
How about yourself?. Can you not see what kind of long game those guys are even playing at all, or are you just looking at the short term grand vision they keep gawking about?.
I see all 3 companies as utter garbage, but at least Google isn't paying devs to fuck off from two storefronts to lessen my experience and sodding strong arm me into using a vastly inferior store. Yes I am aware of their shitty cloud service and the very fewer deals than Epic they've made, but they didn't start right out the gate like "Valve is muh enemy, no dev should sell there" kind of tirade that a billionaire CEO was spouting, like a child with their dummy.
Epic can absolutely open up their own storefront, and then try and ask apple if they can have it on their OS, but that's again, up to Apple's curation at the end of the day, the same shit that's keeping certain devs from selling on EGS.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
