Gotta love when a billionaire complains about something that prevents him from being slightly richer.

Still fees in the Epic Games Store, Tim?

Epic Games store isn't the only way you can download software on Windows, so it's not really a fair comparisons. A healthy iOS app economy relies on competing app stores.

I’m not really sure how that would work. iOS has always been a closed system with apps needed to go through the store. The one store. And it’s thrived. Yes you can make the argument about jailbreaking to sideload etc. but realistically it was an os designed to have a single point of entry. I’m all for abandoning fees and more source options but this is not the way to that. Nor does this help completion or open up other avenues for a competing App Store. And let’s be honest, getting into the Apple ecosystem, you should already be aware of its limitations. It’s does give Tim Sweeney a hardon thinking he’s a winner.

When will the monopolies Google and Apple have as a whole on App stores end?

Fuck Apple. Fuck Epic too but one thing at a time.

Yeah but Apple really is a fuck.

Just because iOS has always been exclusive doesn't mean that's a good thing. If you don't want to use other stores, that should be your choice as a user or an IT dept, not the manufacturer's. And yeah, the article is about payment systems, and the same applies. If I don't want to use Apple's payment system as a dev, I should be free to choose a competitor. If I want to provide the choice of multiple payment options to the user, again, I should have that option. I dislike Epic Games as well because of their exclusivity deals. If I want to buy a game on another store, I should be able to make that choice, and game devs should be able to sell it on multiple platforms.
