Apple and Epic and you, the megathread

Ok, so there’s Apple we know and dislike and Epic that we actually do not know but we like… why? Maybe because we use UE as a tool for development… yeah it’s great no doubt, but are there alternatives yes, so if you want to work on iOS you will have to consider a change, because judging from Epic’s stance, they won’t stand aside.

And you know what,* i like that stance, i like the revolutionary ideas and actions*. Giving UE4 for “Free” (5%) on 4.07 if am correct, launching a 12% EpicStore and hitting the monopoly of Steam, free revenue for up to 1.000.000$, and now Apple. So my question is, What is next Epic?

And am just wondering why all the fuss… and yeah that is all about it, Fuss. Epic is attacking every front protesting for devs and customers interests. If you see this picture only, yeah i mean they are heroes and every other megacorp is the vilain. I like all of these even when am trying and see a bigger picture of this story, because yeah we only see a picture, not what’s going on backstage.
But please don’t do this by inviting children to join your fight within Fortnite, that’s a shame… you were getting ready so much time, but why now? *why not wait for ue5 to arrive and flood the market? *

Epic has the product and it’s not Fortnite it’s UE. Denying Epic Apple SDK/API access will definately ruin Epic’s business plan and not Apple’s, but wait will this happen soon and how? Guess we will see when iOS 14 arrives, it is just so simple for Apple to make UE apps useless and yeah if this happens an app with with crashes etc. won’t be a fit on AppStore, so yeah they will have the right to remove it from distributing it through AppStore, because, you will simply violate their terms of usage.

But please guys try see a bigger picture here, where eveything is going in next years… *for me at least there’s only one answer… ARM. *Do you thing Apple’s market share will shrink? no away, i must say the opposite :slight_smile: . Will Apple’s choices for moving Macs on ARM be worthy? definately! why? Apple’s has proved their innovation and will prove it again. So again why this move from Epic? How about Facebook? or Tencent? or even the China Vs USA? Just food for thought :slight_smile:

Lastly i want to point that Apple’s and Google’s IAP is beatable and will be beaten. Some examples are Amazon or Ebay, but yeah they sell physical goods, OK, so how about Netflix? or even better how about YouTube, AND as you imagine the list goes on… Restricting IAP/Subsriptions on GameApps and not in GeneralApps of other megacorps isn’t an exclusive deal that violates Apple’s Terms?

*Epic’s business plans are clear

**Disrupt **the current market > **reinitialize **it > **control **it *

*So, what’s not to love about Epic? :slight_smile:

ps.Thank you if you read all this mind screwing ideas ;p *
