Apple says Epic is violating its App Store guidelines.

  • “Apple says Epic is violating its App Store guidelines by using its own payment system”

  • "The decision marks a significant escalation in the feud between Epic and one of the world’s most dominant mobile software marketplaces. It also comes at an especially fraught time for Apple as the iPhone maker navigates antitrust concerns over its operation of the App Store and the rules it imposes on certain developers. "

    I’d argue that Apple is much worse.
    Comparing Epic, who made some gamers upset by having some games exclusive to their e-shop, to one of the biggest opponents of consumer rights is a bit silly, isn’t it?

      Fair point, and I’m not saying both are equally bad, but it doesn’t change the fact that I support neither.

      Another thing: Epic Games is a much smaller company compared to Apple. This factors into how much bad they can do. I predict that if Epic was as big as Apple, they’d be similarly as bad.
