Apple, Epic, and the App Store
A pretty well-thought out article, given the inflammatory nature of the subject matter.<p>I think Apple is right on the line. But I don&#x27;t see a good argument as to what their doing is being anti-competitive. ~2 million apps are on the app store. Charging a fee for giving developers a huge market that spends money is not exactly unfair. And the rules of engagement are generally applied equally to everyone - the exceptions are noted by the guidelines.<p>What would make it fair? Lowering the fee? If that were the case, then the problem isn&#x27;t anti-competitive behavior. If it&#x27;s the rules, what would fair rules look like that don&#x27;t harm the end user or the product?<p>What actual harm is Apple inflicting on the market by their behavior? Developers make less money? That isn&#x27;t good enough.
