    They give affiliates a cut of their sales, this percentage is in line with thins like the Amazon affiliate links and other such programs.

    It's the same thing with the iTunes affiliate program... they pay you to bring users to them.
    It's kinda sad how people don't understand this. People just believe every and any article nowadays.

    Unless the article is incorrect(doubt it) it talks about creators of content getting 5%. How is that different from creators of content getting 70% from greedy Apple?
    This is an affiliate program.

    The "creator code" is a referral code that players can enter into the games that in return gives the "creators" a minimum 5% of the V-bucks, or whatever is purchased in the game.

    This is not the creators earning 5% from the content they've made, that's completely separate from this program.

    For Fortnite, accepted Creators will earn 5% of the value of in-game purchases made using their Creator Code. This applies to earned V-Bucks, purchased V-Bucks and most real-money offers. Players declare their support for a Fortnite Creator in-game by entering the Creator’s code via the “Support-A-Creator” button.

  • Safari has 1B users around the world, still lags far behind Chrome's market share

    I wonder how many of those are users who have no choice because they use iOS?

  • No, Apple Music isn't pushing Spotify out of the iPhone dock on purpose

    Why is Apple setting default positions for their apps in the first place?

    If I install an app, I don't want it to move stuff around on my home screen, it can just put itself on the next free spot like every other app I install.

  • Microsoft says that if Apple isn't stopped now, its antitrust behavior will just get worse...

    The thing with Apple is they've gotten big enough that their gatekeeping is becoming a problem. I don't like the idea that long term all things tech in the US comes from and is dictated by Apple.
    And yet Epic can't actually provide any evidence of a "problem" for Fortnite. They were free to pick and choose which sections of the gaming market would have access to Fortnite. They chose Playstation, Xbox, Windows PCs, iOS/Android. They monetized the game in the same way on all of those platforms: virtual currency that would require a commission payment if purchased in-app OR no commission requirement if purchased online or in a retail store. 
    Fortnite is a game, they are primarily in the game market.

    Apple does not have a monopoly over the game market and sufficient alternatives exist.
