The surest way to spot a monopoly? A company makes vast profits from vast markups, does a bad job, is hated by suppliers, and has no competition. Let Steam bring their store to iOS. Let Epic bring our store to iOS. Let the best store win!

@JoeFromSeattle1 @TimSweeneyEpic We want the epic store to improve. It took them years to add a cart. It doesn’t seem they are working in that store front anymore, which is sad.

@JoeFromSeattle1 @TimSweeneyEpic Yeah bro just spends most of his time raging out on companies doing better then him. Rather then making a better product to compete with them or working in another’s framework to build up your own product so you can build out of it Idk how the board hasn’t fired him yet

@ScottyTidwell @periwinkleplur @TimSweeneyEpic If Epic was "fighting the good fight for all of us" then they would be pushing back against console as well as Apple. Consoles have the 30% junk fee that Tim claims to hate, and they use a business model similar to Apple. Yet Tim makes excuses for them.

Epic has paid Apple over $237M+ in commissions for doing absolutely nothing other than having Fortnite on iOS. Epic is fighting the good fight for all of us... and it's cost them well over $100M in legal fees and hundreds of millions in lost revenue. How many jobs would have been saved without that amount of outflows?

@Shinshaas @JoeFromSeattle1 @TimSweeneyEpic the thing that makes EA and rockstar different is the fact they are WILLING to sell on steam, so their launchers are more of a nuisance than anything. with epic games, they try to make themselves more competitive and have exclusives, while having less features than steam.

@ScottyTidwell @periwinkleplur @TimSweeneyEpic Consoles make vast profits from vast markups. Marking up games and charging for online play. They don't allow side loading, and they don't allow third party app stores just like Apple. If it's bad when Apple does it then it's just as bad when consoles do it.

Ik you’re making a point but the worst storefront in the gaming ecosystem is definitely Rockstars or EA They’re so bad that they have to have compatibility with steam just to get people to buy their games EA games even started not even requiring the EA launcher for new games and lets them launch solely through steam lol

The phone/console comparison doesn't quite hold. Consoles are optional gaming devices; phones are essential general-purpose computers that people rely on for communication, work, and banking. The closest analogy is PC vs. phone. PCs let you install any storefront you want — Steam, Epic, GOG. That's the freedom Epic argues should exist on mobile too.
