Quoted from rai:Epic implementing a pay structure to bypass the Apple store commissions, this led to Apple removing Fortnight.
I realize Epic wants to keep all the profits, wants to use Apple’s services for free. I’m on the side of Apple, it’s almost like Coke would say to a supermarket sell my product but you don’t get to make any profits from it.
I wouldn't say it is this simple. Apple intentionally locks down it's platform so developers have no choice but to use the app store. It is their environment, but they don't allow free market for other environments to exist on their platfoem
Imagine if Microsoft did this with Windows. You use there environment, why shouldn't you pay Microsoft everytime you download something off of the internet?
Apple intentionally stifles competition all in the name of their Brand.
With that being said, I think you should pay a small fee to apple if you choose to use their environment. But, you also have to keep in mind other companies like Netflix are already bypassing the Apple store policies.
