- jamp897 8y agoThey let Valve know in advance I’m sure, it’s a small industry and the polite thing to do with friends.
- dec0dedab0de 8y agoAbsolutely, especially since they already work together. I don't think there is anything wrong with this, but it made me think, when does it cross the line into collusion or price fixing?

The 30% cut from distribution platforms is arbitrary, not based on cost, but rather implicit collusion based on what apple can extract from their flock. I'd say this Epic launcher is a great exception to this and I hope it sticks.
