The sad thing about your comment is that it applies to Apple and to Epic… and just about every other company out there.

if I understand correctly, he’s arguing that since consoles are sold at a loss and the store has to make up the difference, Epic is ok with the 30% on the console stores. But Google and Apple charge full price for hardware so 30% for the google or apple app store is just being greedy and Epic’s not OK with that.

Maybe not in this article but this is a perpetual accusation for just about any large and successful corporation to deal with. Using “Apple” gets headlines, but you’ve probably read similar accusations against Alphabet, Microsoft, Epic, EA, John Deere, etc…

but they only did so because of the massive public outcry

Well, shit. For once the voice of the people worked and you’re still bitching about it.

The redditization of Lemmy begins. Fuck Forbes and their clickbait shit.
