That we should punish success?
- adev_ 4y ago> That we should punish success? That is a great bullshit whataboutism argument. Nobody speaks about punishing success here. Apple and Google de facto Monopoly on the app store gives them a 30% tax on everything that wants to live on the mobile ecosystem. This is the problem here. And this is what Epic was fighting against.
- simondotau 4y agoEpic couldn’t point to any new “abusive” behaviour between when Apple was a ~1% market share minnow to when they became a ~50% market share behemoth. This is critical. Antitrust is the abuse of monopoly power. In order to abuse a monopoly, you need to have abused your monopoly.
