  • Epic CEO will fight Apple to the bitter end over App Store control

    So, when physical games are sold in stores don’t the stores get to make money for providing the structure for customers?  As an artist, I have sold books and art in galleries that take always 30%. Why?  Because it’s their store. They staff it, set up the displays, do the transactions for hundreds more customers than I could ever see standing on a street corner trying to sell one at a time.  These guys have made millions, if not billions of dollars because of Apple’s store and customer base. Without the App Store they would be stuck making a living selling their crappy software at stores in the mall. Oh and paying the store 30% too
    Actually back in the day, when software was sold in stores, the fees were a lot higher than 30%, and if you were an independent software developer, good luck getting your software in stores!

    II don't agree with the way Epic Games started this, but I do feel their sentiment.  Taking 30% of someone's business in order to sell on their platform is like doing the same in order to make a MacOS or Windows 11 app.  It does seem unfair.
    This has been beaten to a dead horse. Imagine you're the owner of a shopping mall. Are you going to allow your tenants to operate stores in your mall for free and not pay any rent?

    Apple has announced a new Apple Music service, but it's not the classical one it's promised for before the end of the year. Instead, it's Apple Music Sing, which leverages Apple Music's lyrics to provide a Karaoke-style experience.

    When did Apple ever promise the Apple Music Classical service to be released by the end of the year? I do not even recall them announcing said service, let alone promising a release timeframe.
    When they announced the Primephonic acquisition. It’s in the last paragraph of the press release…

    https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/08/apple-acquires-classical-music-streaming-service-primephonic/
    Thank you for that. This does show that they announced the service, though they never promised anything, instead they said this:

    "Apple Music plans to launch a dedicated classical music app next year combining Primephonic’s classical user interface that fans have grown to love with more added features."

    Apple chose the word plans rather than promise on purpose.
