Apple drops ban hammer on Epic Games over mean tweet

Ғылым және технология

The Digital Markets Act in the EU has caused widespread changes in big tech at companies like Apple, Google, Amazon, and Meta. Recently, Apple banned Epic Games in the EU and possibly broke the law by violating DMA.

    This is the reason I switched to Linux. Apple used to really support third-party developers, but Jobs shut that down soon after being reinstated as CEO. They moved everything behind a "Apple Developer" paywall and charged a 300usd fee for lifetime membership, on top of an annual 100usd fee for access to their docs - the same docs they had been giving away for free for over a decade. Within 6months, they removed the lifetime fee and kept the annual fee, but it was far too late. I was the biggest Apple fanboy but I feel they stabbed me in the back so fuck 'em. I switched to Linux and never looked back. I used to be able to build computers out of literal trash that could run linux and Apple was charging an arm and a leg for just the privilege of saying you like them.

    @@meroshango9603 It's not just about not using Apple. This massively affects developers that want their apps available across all users (including iOS and Android). A simple way of achieving this is a PWA, where it is cross platform and works everywhere out of the box without having to learn multiple programing languages. If Apple bans PWAs, then the iOS users will have limited access to the PWAs. Imagine this, let's say KZread was a PWA and not an actual app in the App Store. KZread is pretty popular right? Everyone uses it regardless of platform. If Apple all of a sudden bans PWAs, iOS users will have limited access to them in their own iOS devices, including KZread. KZread devs would then need to hire programmers who know how to code for iOS which would incur extra costs for the development and maintenance of the application. Not to mention the extra fees from the app store and the added business logic in maintaining the same app in multiple programing languages for multiple platforms. I'm talking about a massive application here just to somewhat prove a point, but other smaller apps face the same issue with this ban. So, it's not just about "if you don't like Apple, don't use it". For devs that want their app available for everyone, they don't exactly have a choice on the matter unfortunately...

Apple was going to do the same thing for side-loaded apps but with 50c.

    There are pros and cons to this forced move. I've been deploying/ building, designing and coding apps since 2011 and having apple handle payments, subs, refunds, smaller payments and controls over features is worth paying for. I have built solutions entirely with stripe apis and back in the day directly with a processor and there are soo many hours and devops and advanced technical support you should have and have to pay for ongoing. With apple verifying users and so on helps with avoiding people with fake or stolen credit cards. Much like crappy apps on google play that are built without any business verification. Also if your client makes under $1M which is just enough for a company, 15% is fair to just focus on actual value. Thanks , rant over

Just "Do you want this Goku skin in Fortnite or Sonic skin in Fall Guys? 5 dollars" so now anyone can play the game for free and any money you spend is optional and doesn't actually give you an unfair advantage.

    For the people and governments in the EU, this is a win-win situation. Seeing Apple (and other monopolies) suffer is just a beautiful side effect. The 2 possibilities are: 1. The companies pull away from the EU market, and then they will lose a massive amount of money. But that's not even the best part: the EU will get rid of a monopoly. This will allow for other, better companies to take their place, which will actually bring in more money than before, since smaller companies actually have to compete to make a better product. Not to mention the fact that removing american centrism from our culture and our devices is a huge success. 2. The companies bow down to the EU. Life quality in the EU drastically increases, while still keeping the economy growing.

And this isn’t about what you bring from out of town it’s about the fact that you don’t want to pay the Fee to use these services. And this whole argument stems from business not wanting to pay the Fee’s /Taxes, it’s literally the main reason epic games, Spotify, and the EU have a problem with Apples App Store. The just don’t want to pay apples Fee. If you use Apples electricity, water, sewage, public transport, etc. how is it okay to not pay the Fee? If you have a problem with this, go to a city that you don’t mind paying a fee for. Just don’t force Apple to give it away for free.
