- kwdc 5y agoThe whole point of gaining monopoly status is to be able to use and apply these kinds of manipulations. This doesn't make it right however. Epic is one of a few large enough to make the necessary waves to have an impact. But behind Epic are thousands of unhappy app developers. Most of which are otherwise ignored. Also, complain too loudly and Apple has plenty of indirect ways to harm you. This is also an outcome of monopoly.
