Can't wait epic store allowing others to sell apps in their store with a reasonable commission.

    Cyberchum, 09 Mar 2024Can't Apple simply choose not to sell in the EU? 😂 Would be awesome if they did... Greedy firm for sure.

      But because we have people who breaking the laws, we still need to have laws right? 🤭🫣

          If it was compliance to open up iOS then yea that would probably lead to a ban

            Sado0og, 09 Mar 2024Not fair.... Apple owns the hw and sw with their store..... moreApple doesn't own any bought hardware. A bought phone belongs to the person who bought it.

If Apple wants their own store for themselves, they have around 150 other countries in the world where they can play that game. At least until those other countries also wake up.

                    Anonymous, 09 Mar 2024Epic Games apps store only available in EU. LOL, that sucks... more???

                    Politicians in the EU vote against one of the biggest, richest companies in the world that routinely bribes...err..."lobbies" US jellyfish in the congress+senate as a special interest group to safeguard their monopolistic anti-consumer tactics. And EU are the bad guys? Because EU people are putting their money where their mouth is in enforcing anti-trust laws that all should abide by?

                    Fruitarians are in complete SHOCK at the ruling. For all I care, Epic can get bent but Apple needs a separate king sized barrel of its own and it's about time.

                      Cyberchum, 10 Mar 2024Would it help you if they did, Would it really make some di... moreYeah we are going round in circles here aren’t we, we are not going to see eye to eye on this dude, so let just agree to disagree yeah, we have a difference of opinion on the acceptable level of government intervention where Apple’s business practices are concerned, but if you want to think my views are as a result of my not being on your intellectual level, well you just go right ahead…….

                                        Interesting case of who needs whom. If Apple dared to defy the order, dare the EU ban Apple? I mean, they would lose the tax receipts.
