If Epic fought against console stores, people would say they are completely fine with Apple's store.

Epic is just playing stupid games for their bottom line and then there are all these hippies, the same ones that believed in junk like Google's "Do no evil", routing for Epic, without realising that they just want their Epic store, with their own exclusives. It is going to be such a major fail, thankfully some lawyers will be happy.

  I don't root for Epic, I root against Apple.

    The 60's are long gone and PC was an accident of IBM's incompetency to keep it vertically integrated as other home micro platforms. Something that Android, tablet and laptop OEMs are in the process of fixing. Keep hating Apple if it makes you happy.

        If you missed the references it isn't me that is going to explain them.

  Having additional app stores would be a win for everybody except Apple. Whatever Epic's intentions may be, if they succeed we all win against the massive mobile duopoly.

    Android proves otherwise.

  Why you think people who want Epic to win are actually Epic fanboys ? This is not about Epic, this is about Apple. I couldn't care less about Epic. Apple is abusing its position, Epic wants to allow alternative stores and more competition from anybody, not just them. This is a fight against an abuse of position, this will benefit everyone, not just epic. How the hell is that okay to take money from inside a service. Did Chrome asked 30% on all Ebay sells because users where using Chrome as the "platform" to access EBay ? How can we even support Apple on that one ?

    Don't like Apple, buy something else, period. I only use Apple devices at the office. Yeah, really there is such a huge benefit in alternative Android stores, they are blooming everywhere.
