While it is a little hypocritical of them, the iOS walls have been lifted (a little) for everyone (in the EU...), not just for EGS. Altstore is another example

Altstore is another example: https://altstore.io/ https://altstore.io/
- jeroenhd 2y agoAltStore PAL used to be paid (to offset Apple's fees), but it became free now that Epic is paying AltStore's costs: https://techcrunch.com/2024/08/15/epic-games-megagrant-makes-eu-alternative-app-store-altstore-pal-available-for-free/ https://techcrunch.com/2024/08/15/epic-games-megagrant-makes... The other AltStore abuses development signatures and requires you to re-sign apps regularly (which I'm pretty sure is a violation of Apple's ToS so you also risk getting your account banned if Apple starts taking action). That's not really comparable to a normal app store, in my opinion.
- Retr0id 2y agoI agree that apple's implementation more or less amounts to malicious compliance, but it's very un-hypocritical of Epic to be paying AltStore's fees.
