I can’t tell my 12 year old stepson to stop playing fortnite because it’s a large part of his social life in connecting with family on another continent. At the same time, he has spent nearly every dollar that has come
his way in the last 8 months on the game, talks about it all the time, watches youtube videos when he can’t play Switch, etc...
I am happy he has a medium to socialize but the anxiety he gets from this machine is intense.
I generally advocate for users rights, but I am siding with Apple on this one. There is no monopoly - Epic has many (mobile) platforms to distribute their games/platform, including switch and android, that I can’t imagine the EU sides with them - especially in europe where iPhones don’t constitute the same market share.
However, what I would advocate for is a possibility for officially rooting your iPhone (with lots of big scary messages along the way) and mutual app store exclusion.
If Epic wants to run their own app store, great, but I don’t believe Apple should be obligated to make it comfortable.
