It's not your fucking store - it's Epic's. It's not Apple's fucking store - It's Epic's. You know what? It's also not fucking Apple's phone anymore, it's the damn phone of the customer who paid to buy it. They should be the only party who gets to decide whether they can install perfectly functional applications on it. Apple keeps trying to twist that fact away, over and over again - They are morally in the wrong. Clearly so.

This sort of emotionally charged tantrum is unbecoming of adult discussion and is more appropriate for Reddit. Apple’s App Store is Apple’s, insofar as that if Apple disappears, obviously its App Store ceases to work.

  OP is right. It’s Epic’s fucking store (in the EU) and Apple has no right to block anything there, despite their legal conniptions.

  I think visible frustration is appropriate given that even US based judges think Apple is being wildly inappropriate, to the point of recommending criminal contempt. I think that's an appropriate note for an adult discussion here. I think I'm very, very tired of Apple apologists flooding HN. I think this comment is a classic "Woe is me you used potty language!" style distraction from the issue at hand, and isn't an appropriate response.

If you think it's a customer's phone and not Apple's, do you agree that customer should own EPIC account (be able to sell, transfer it, that EPIC can not terminate it)? I think it makes sense to apply the same logic either for both cases or for none.
