Everyone seems to be trashing the idea of 10x developers (and I would tend to agree unless you’re literally talking about a 1 in a million mythical dev) but there are definitely 2x or 3x developers I have worked with at companies. Unfortuna

Can you just submit it again with no additional changes? As an aside, I am a pleased customer and love your app.

That's still true in some places today.

It's not exactly like people weren't buying things before the internet. Hell, there's advertising on the walls of Pompeii. If anything, better advertising gets us to buy stupid shit people are actually more interested in than

Which state is this? Just curious. Most of us in the Bay Area are here due to our jobs, not because we love the place.

CAs tax rate when you factor in federal tax is comparable to the EU and we get none of the benefits.

If there's one thing that's constant, it's that Apple is somewhat arbitrary when it comes to "enforcing" their TOS on the small guys.

It also sometimes takes 10+ seconds to respond when I'm at home with a great internet connection. You'd think Apple would have that down by now...

Sure, but it looks like according to Wikipedia, Concorde's flights cost 30x an equivalent economy class flight. Would you want to pay 30x the price for the perks you listed?

Agreed although I don't think the delete after 10 tries will do anything if they're using a cracking software.

I mean you can read the court ruling for yourself. The court disagrees with you there for reasons specified. The court does rule that "Epic brought this on themselves" for the Fortnite app on iOS but not for Apple restricting its

No, you're a contractor in that example. There are high fixed costs to hiring an employee. You're not going to get anyone on board with these micro-shifts, period.

How did that go before Uber showed up?

Freelancing is already a thing. This is a horrible analogy.

They left a tiny amount of clay. It’s not some special toxic chemical clay either. It’s literally the same clay people use for face masks.

They can believe that many actors are injust but can be simply choosing their battles. And phones > consoles in terms of impact. They're also less arbitrary about which purchases take a 30% cut or not compared to phones.

Source? They specifically state that they're not suing for damages and I doubt they have changed their case in the last few days... > Apple’s conduct has caused and continues to cause Epic financial harm, but as noted above, Epic is

How do you rationalize this? There's no situation where having a legitimate competitor to the App Store makes the situation somehow worse for smaller developers. At worst, they continue their business as usual. At best the competitive

Have you read their complaint? Google specifically stepped in and had OnePlus cancel a deal with Epic which would have allowed their sideloaded app to be included by default with their phones. They also prevent other companies from making s

Just because you're willing to take 70% shouldn't mean others should be forced to take it.

They're not just a publishing company. They're also a software company that develops the Unreal Engine and actively produce games such as Fortnite and Gears of War built on top of their engine. Also, Apple's stance on iOS is

The irony of calling an app developer "big and greedy" in face of Apple is not lost on me here. 30% in pure profit would means a lot to regular companies/folks as well, not just the "big and greedy" ones. Just becau

Yes but for most people an Xbox or a PS4 is not a requirement for their livelihood. Would you be okay with a Microsoft-owned app store that controls all app purchases and in-app purchases for all PCs?

> A company that makes so much money should be able to compromise. It's hilarious to see people rooting for Apple as if they're the little guys. The company that makes so much money here is Apple, not Epic. They should be willi

Which, to me, is hilarious. How dare they undercut a de-factor monopoly with lower fees for game publishers?!

They cannot on iOS and they stopped doing that on Android.

You don't know that unless you know what the legal costs are, their odds of winning the suit, the lost $$ and opportunity cost due to no sales on iOS, the revenue loss from their 20% discount on V-Bucks, etc.

Did you read the article? The competition sucks. FB literally has government intervention on it's side and it can't pump our Reels reasonably.

They've launched the Epic game store which cuts distribution fees significantly. How is that not beneficial to consumers?
