I don't have links handy but Sweeny directly addressed this. Sony and Microsoft are willing to negotiate with Epic. They get to find a middleground that both sides are happy with. Apple does not negotiate, a developer that has $5 in sales get's the same deal as Epic. Sweeny stated that if Apple had been willing to negotiate similar to Microsoft and Sony then we wouldn't be here.
- dhosek 5y agoIf Apple had negotiated with Epic, we'd all be arguing about how unfair it is that Epic gets a better deal than everyone else.
- ye_olde_gamer 5y agoEh, we'd probably just have kept buying Fortnite skins and never have heard about this to begin with. If nothing else, Epic managed to lower in-app commissions for small indie devs, which is a small win at least.
- takeda 5y agoThat's a good point. Not a big Apple fan, in fact I hate most what they do, but for that particular thing I don't agree with Epic. Those things are anti-competetive and hurt everyone else.
