Epic are scum by all means, but in this case, our interests are aligned. That's all.

Imagine you having a shop and someone comes in and sets up shop, inside your shop, selling the same kind of products you are selling...
Hm, I really like that analogy  |
You are looking at it from different end. Broaden your perspective. Why do you think, when Judge asked Google if their (Epic vs Apple and Epic vs Google) cases are related and can be piled into one case, and Google said no? Because they perfectly realize there is an argument Epic can draw later - Apple states they are not monopoly and if they dont like their rates and service they can go and use another store and platform. Right? Right. Except, as we saw with comissions chart, EVERYONE charge 30%. That essentially means there is NO choice, you just change brand and store owner, but conditions stays the same.
"Okay, then create your own mobile store!"
Yeah, and how do you suggest to use it on Apple's devices? See, that's the point, every mobile OS comes with their own pre-bundled store, either GPS or AppleStore. And even if you can sideload store app on Android - you cant on iOS. Which brings us back to the unequal anti-trust situation.
Epic seems to be trying to make an argument about such state of the market but they fail spectacularly. They should have took their sweet time and formulate it more coherent. They wont be able to win against Apple, but they could have made case of the century about global anti-trust violations on current market between big players.

Some nice free titles this week: Football Manager 2020 & Watch Dogs 2
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

That was my attempt at humour, wanted to complain about their high prices but I don't even know where as they don't even have forums !! Easy to manage complains when you don't even provide the user with the option to do it eh.

[offtopic]
That image is such a painful oversimplification, it never fails to trigger me. it basically suggests that reducing taxes for the wealthy only hurts or doesn't help the economy as a whole, while that's blatantly incorrect - what's disputed is how much more do tax cuts for the middle class help compared to tax cuts for the wealthy. :\
There is in fact a valid reason for cutting taxes for the wealthy in some situations - specifically, to prevent them and large companies/employers from moving to a place with significantly lower taxes. So it's often a balancing act, not some stupid one-dimensional decision.

it is that simple. The rich don't use the money from tax cuts, they put it away in saving. Middle and lower will actually use money saved, which in turn helps the economy.

because the lower and middle will have jobs when the rich move their businesses overseas.
