Rika_Furude 08/17/20 4:09:48 PM #4:	ArianaGrandSlam posted... As much as I hate to side with them, Epics more on the right side of this, Apples practices are ridiculous. They way theyre trying to weaponize Fortnite children to fight this fight for them is pretty disgusting though. I dont agree. Epic knew and was perfectly ok with the 30% app store cut for years before they chose to break the terms of their contract. Realisticly no court should look at this case and rule in favour of Epic. Epic is such a shit bag company as well, way worse than Apple. A lower app store cut would help smaller developers and that would be good but i couldnt care less if epic had to pay 80%. --- https://imgur.com/oQHLBrx https://imgur.com/ah5IE8D https://imgur.com/USV84z9 https://imgur.com/PSjlohO <cite>Rika_Furude posted [p:943496402] in Apple thre...

So it's not like apple is abusing its monopoly to jack up prices far above its competitors who are a non issue on their platform.

Mr_Karate_II 08/18/20 1:35:00 AM #49:	I hope the lawsuit is thrown out because Epic is in breach of contract. They agreed to the 30% and they're going behind Apple's back.
