    Epic Games, the creator of Fortnite, has come out swinging recently. First it was at the Google Play Store, now it's out for Apple's App Store too. Sure, Epic Games says it's about them banning Fortnite from their stores, but I think there is something much BIGGER going on. What exactly? Well, it's written plainly in their own legal documents - they want to open their OWN app store and to do so, they need to break down the monopolies already dominating the markets.

    This WAS very interesting because everyone is just talking about the basics while MatPat literally read and entire legal document to see what’s going on. Epic was also very smart by giving players a free harvesting tool as well as giving people a certain amount V-Bucks back to them depending on how many they bought over the last couple of months, witch made people get onboard with Epic to get rid of Apple. Some UA-camrs who collect skins and buy the 100 dollar pack of V-Bucks often (13,550 V-Bucks) got over 10,000 V-Bucks back in return. I would love to see MatPat do more of this.

    Dude keep doing this. Talking about the stuff companies do is actually really informative on what companies are actually trying to do instead of this picture of we want to give this because we want to. Instead this reminds us that that games aren’t made because but because people A) make a profit or B) just make something for the enjoyment of others. Showing that companies may not always be our friend but just trying to make a quick buck.

      @mattm7220 3 роки тому +4

      Epic's intentional breaking of the terms of service was a very deliberate move to force Apple's hand - being removed from the App Store gave Epic the perfect publicity platform to start this whole thing. I wouldn't think for a second that there's something they didn't think through. Remember, 60-something page legal documents don't appear out of thin air - they take a team of lawyers a solid few weeks... Epic had the document ready to go because they knew how Apple would respond to the price change.
      Also, I'll agree with what Pandize said that there really isn't such a thing as unsuccessful outcome for Epic. Worst case scenario: they lose the lawsuit, and Fortnite users jump ship from Apple devices in favour of Android where they can still sideload the game, meaning Epic still wins in the public eye (which is the important part). Best case scenario: Epic wins the lawsuit, and they get what they want. There really isn't a 'lose' scenario for them.

    I would certainly be interested in hearing more about the company behind Epic!
    I hope you see this MatPat! and are ready to read a small essay :)
    That being said, one point that I think was kind of glossed over was security.
    One of the biggest reasons our app store based world exists is because of Apple's walled garden approach on the Mac lineup. It worked so well to keep desktop and laptop devices protected (compared to windows xp and before) that it was a no-brainer to integrate that same design into their mobile devices. When Google started shipping the android platform, the success and security of Apple AppStore was blatantly evident! They had no choice but to build a similar system to protect their users most valuable, and mobile, data.
    To this day, that is still a reason to avoid side loading APKs. If you're technically inclined and know what your doing, it isn't any more dangerous than installing a program on your computer. But for most mobile phone users, opening your phone to side loading can allow dangerous applications, especially shady app store, to install and sometimes modify what they please.
    While I understand and agree with the vast majority of your points and arguments, I think both Google and Apple have a responsibility to protect their users, the user's operating system, and the user's intellectual property. I trust and use the Epic Games Store on my computer, but blessing one company to create and host its own app store could start a trend, resulting in less reputable, and generous, companies designing their own offerings. Competition is good! But confusion, especially in technology, causes problems and misinformation.
    Strictly from a security standpoint, I think Google and Apple should fight to retain control of the only application that installs and allows code to run on their operating systems. If that is changed, I would be willing to bet we would see an influx of malicious code and nasty spyware into a device that is inherently more personal than any computing device in the past.
