LMAO Apple has extra a lot lately lol. Out here cancelling projects left and right, not having live events for their products, bullying EPIC and getting “bullied” by EU. This has not been a good 2 weeks for them lol

Have you ever heard from car manufacturers asking the Taxi companies, Uber and alike to give them a cut from their revenues? Car manufacturers earn the money with selling the cars and maintenance.
Taxi companies do not need to give any cut from their revenues to a “pi..mp” sitting in between! You may say, Apple is not asking the owner of the phones directly, but factually the owners are paying the 30%.
Let me make it even clearer. Have you ever heard from tyre manufacturers or manufacturers of other car spare parts to pay a cut to car manufacturers? Have you ever heard from fuel suppliers to pay a cut to Airbus and Boeing?
Wake up man!

Whoa, that's harsh. Apple seems to still be anti-competitive. All the same, I hope Epic Games doesn't become like Big Tech...
I admire Epic games decisions to try and fight the system. That doesn't mean I support them 100%, as they've done some questionable things in the past, but in this, I support them.

This is a shame, but well done to the European Union for stopping Apple going even crazier with power than this.

Well if i were EU i would either force Apple to pay 500 billion at least for their mischievious shady movements and fact they act like we have most money we can do everything or force them to withdrawn from EU for good.
Noone here needs a company like this.
They are far worse than its healthy for people.

So according to your logic monopolies are good. The fact that apple has a monopoly on supplying your device with apps is actually a good thing. Are you crazy?
You should have been Rockefeller's lawyer.

With this kind of logic, everyone shouldn't or have the right to protect his / her property. Damn, we're living in a "WOKE" era 🙄🤦🏻♂️

Apple has been behaving like a pi..mp for years. Indeed, Apple is the biggest pi..mp on earth.
No other term describes Apple more accurately!

This is exactly why Apple should be forced to quell their app store monopoly. Apple has way too much power, and Apple is not your friend.

Technology would be able to evolve and make something new and revolutionary. Because Apple is the reason nobody wants to fight for the right to make something, without apple trying to sue to get it their own. Sadly jealousy is a bad thing, and jobs was extremely jealous. Look what he did against his own blood.

Cause you know, Epic being such a selfless champion of the little guy and all…😂
This is all just business, a couple short years ago Tim Sweeney was giving personal presentations at Apple events!
Epic, Spotify etc aren’t p’ss’d they are not getting their fair share. No, their p’ss’d they are not in a position to be doing the same dam thing Apple does…..
