If EA win their fight, I can't really see them offering their app on the Apple App Store.
So, really what this is about is choice for the big app-manufacturers, including games. It has nothing to do with user choice at all, and the cost is borne by the user (who has a far shittier user-experience than they do now).
- flohofwoe 6y agoIf it makes EA more money, they will absolutely sell their games on other app stores, see Origin vs Steam.
- spacedcowboy 6y agoBut it won't, will it. That's the entire reason they want to do it in the first place - to make more money for themselves. They want in on the platform, without paying the fees that being on the platform requires.
- stale2002 6y agoSure they will. If apple reduced their fee to something like 5%, I am sure that even most large game developers would use it.
