i find it funny that epic is doing this when their epic store is as restrictive lol,(reply>), @Diomedes well... we would lose the largest search engine, YouTube  and an entire OS from Google, An OS from Apple, and a popular game engine from Epic Games,(reply>), SmashStomp Inc my family and I, would all loose our lively hood if Apple/Google went under. Epic I don’t really care for though.,(reply>), TheGamingNova the pricing model Apple uses is very fair. There is always a cost and risk associated with doing business but Apple and Google’s model makes it much less risky for individuals and smaller companies. As for the size of the cut, I think 30% is the right percentage. Much of the revenue from the App Store is reinvested into developing the frameworks(the toolset I rely on to make money). Budget cuts to this = worse tools for devs like me = worse apps for consumers = everyone loosing money. On the flip side If i wanted to use Altium(for example) to design an embedded device, I would have to upfront $10K/year, even though I’m not a commercial entity making no money off of it. Yet, anyone can jump right into iOS/Android development.,(reply>), The Game Dev Project some small devs who wanted to be on epic would only be allowed if they were an exclusive.  Bigger developers don’t get such restrictions though,(reply>), Nicko 97 That’s not true, the 15% commission doesn’t apply to Epic because it only applies to subscriptions, not in-app purchases. Those are always 30%.
