Just to iterate my take on this trial: If Apple either lowers fees or comes up with an API allowing alternative payment processing this all goes away I think. This is what developers care about. This isn’t really about alternative app stores, I don’t think Epic or any company cares about the distribution model ok the whole, and certainly it’s not something the average consumer is thinking about. See the lack of success with alternative app stores en masses on Android for example. It’s the payment model thers got the whole thing twisted up. The irony here is if they just charged more for a developer license Thera based in the size of your org I think everyone would be happy, and it would compensate Apple for the lowering of the processing fees. If it was 5% I don’t think this trial would have ever happened. I am stilll really interested to see how this turns out
