> There is no logic to this whatsoever other. If it costs more to support more platforms (which is does) there is no reason users should expect not to have to pay more. And why should anyone other than the creator of the product that is being sold decide that? If the Epic storefront does not allow for a developer or publisher to charge more for multiple platforms they can choose not to sell on the Epic store, and continue selling the existing way, or maybe a different storefront. There is no evidence Sweeney wants to expand any monopoly (what monopoly, btw?) other than a deliberate and nonsensical misreading of his statement.

Seems like you want to decide that. > And why should anyone other than the creator of the product that is being sold decide that? If the Epic storefront does not allow for a developer or publisher to charge more for multiple platforms they can choose not to sell on the Epic store, and continue selling the existing way, or maybe a different storefront. This silly argument comes up every time. No, developers obviously won’t be able to just choose what storefronts they like. They will be forced to go to the one storefront that has the customers.
