> Surely compliance with the law is more profitable then stopping trading. Well, that's the rational point-of-view, yes. ...but the most surprising thing to me to come out of this whole thing was how Epic Games was given the same choice w.r.t. Apple's App Store in-app-purchasing rules, but they decided to do the very irrational thing and sacrifice 100% of their income from their iOS players by being banned from the App Store instead of complying with Apple's "law". I'm still trying to understand what went through Epic's leadership. They can argue it was over a moral principle, but their case (at the time) was so weak it made them look worse than Apple in my eyes. It's like if Epic was Rosa Parks, but if she sat at the front of the bus in order to give a timeshare sales presentation to the other riders.
