So, Epic should get special treatment? They don't have to pay the fees? Just everyone else? How is apple supposed to run the app store? They kinda know what

  Their app isn't on the store, so no they shouldn't pay fees beyond whatever Apple charge for the privelege of being a developer on their platform. Not sure why not paying App Store fees (because of not having an app on the store) would justify removing access to all developer accounts and tools.

    Well it used to be dude, that is the whole situation here.

  No one should have to pay 30% as long as Apple also competes in the same "marketplace".

  > They kinda know what they are doing or why else would so many people buy their iphones? Or maybe it's something that people merely tolerate. Kind of like how ISPs are almost universally derided in the US for crappy service and high prices, yet everyone seems to be paying for their serivece. If you asked people when they're buying an iphone whether they want 30% of app and in-app purchases to go to apple, with no way around it, how much % of them would say yes?

    Yes I see that, and you can apply that to all sorts of things in our lives. It’s still arbitrary where the line is that keeps everyone happy, I guess Epic thinks it’s < 30% but I am just not with them on this fight
