My Life in the Apple Ecosystem
- 1cvmask 5y agoThe money quote: This lawsuit is merely a first battle, and where the war is going to be fought is in Congress and in the EU anti-trust committees. What epic did with this lawsuit was bring a lot of things out into the open -- it's a full theatrical release of the video from inside the sausage factory -- and this will really hurt Apple's attempt to convince people it doesn't need outside supervision. that supervision is coming, whether it's new laws through Congress or new regulations through the EU or other governmental bodies, and Apple is well beyond the time it needed to improve it's policies to stop these legislative processes from starting. I used the word "arrogance" above to describe Apple's attitude towards developers. In looking at the material released in the Epic trial from inside Apple, another word also seems to define Apple's attitude: Entitlement Somewhere along the way, Apple convinced itself it's entitled to take all of this revenue from all of the places it's taking it.
