Epic vs. Apple: What Apple is being forced to do to the App Store
I understand why developers are happy with this ruling however it is rather bizarre that a judge can mandate this. If you sell a product on Amazon you pay Amazon a commission. It seems only right that a company that provides the platform for developers to sell their wares gets paid for it? Surely the costs of hosting that platform, coding, design, security, maintenance and advertising and promoting it are worth something? This is a core Apple business. If developers are not happy with this then let them leave the platform and promote their own apps themselves? Mandating that Apple give them effectively free hosting is crazy. As an Apple user I am happy to pay a little more to cover the security And frankly ease of use that Apple provides. This seems deeply unfair.
