    Epic Games has complained that the UK competition regulator has decided against forcing Apple to allow alternatives to the App Store to exist in the country, claiming that it may prevent 'Fortnite' for iOS from being re-released there.

    A win for everyone then.

    Great, but now Apple really needs to offer an Apple One plan without Arcade.  Why does Apple think everyone wants Arcade?.  I would like a reasonably priced Apple One that bundles ATV+, Music and iCloud+.  Why is this so difficult for Apple marketing to offer? Not everyone wants to play games.
    Apple One is cheaper than the iCloud, TV+ and Music subscriptions on its own.  Subscribe, pay less, ignore the games.

    Sounds good. Trade is the way to get the EU to stop hurting American companies. 

    No extra taxes on big tech is s good stsrt, but we need WAY more than that. 

    The baseline isn’t right now. It’s before the DMA. 
    American companies are hurting the EU with policies that are completely unacceptable. 

    Have you ever considered the fact that the world doesn’t see the US as the central source of truth, or standard? 

    America is an arrogant, selfish nation and I’m actually really glad Europe has woken up with Trump. This includes a very important step in detaching ourselves from big tech gradually. It is not a trustworthy partner. 
    Hmmmm, if America is an arrogant and selfish nation, how come we been spending so much on Europe’s defense? 
    Because you wanted to.  The USA policy has explicitly aimed to limit European military investment in favour of its own hegemony.  It has greatly benefitted the USA's military industrial complex.

    This sudden shift to demanding that other NATO members pay their own way is completely historically illiterate and strategically dense.  That said, I'm in favour of it.  If it weakens the USA, especially a USA headed by a fascist-inclined moron, then in the longer term the rest of the world wins.
