Also, the comparison between Apple and retail isn't fair. If Walmart doesn't want your product, you can sell to Target. If Apple doesn't want your software product, you have no alternative.
- scarface74 6y agoNow try that in Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy, or any other major retailer. Have you also noticed that the same goods even where it is allowed is sometimes marked at a different price? Do you think that the marked price does not already include the retailers markup? Sure you have an alternative - Android. Just like back in the day, Nintendo refused to allow certain types of games.
- bmarquez 6y ago> Sure you have an alternative - Android. iOS has 52% marketshare in the US. If over half of Americans are locked out of your product, that's not much of an alternative. Continuing your retail analogy, you can drive to Target, Walmart, Best Buy without any hassles, but making your customers switch from iOS to Android has significant friction. And Android lets your sideload even if Google doesn't like your app. https://www.statista.com/statistics/266572/market-share-held-by-smartphone-platforms-in-the-united-states/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/266572/market-share-held...
- scarface74 6y agoBut that’s not the case here is it? Apple didn’t refuse to allow Epic in their store - not even after the lawsuit. They said they are allowed back in the store if they remove their in app payments. Just like every other console maker and retailer has rules. Epic tried bypassing the Play Store. How did that work out?
