Epic did not pick a fight. Apple did by introducing the 30% tax in the first place and then keep sticking with the 30% tax on everything when everyone have already realized that that tax is not normal.

- Terretta 6y agoApple didn’t “introduce” a 30% “tax”. Apple looked around at mobile marketplaces charging 70%, and undercut them by matching the cost structure of other vertically integrated digital storefronts while adding a tremendous number of customer “peace of mind” features that shifted the value proposition and generated — and still generate — far more revenue per user than competing offerings.
