Miguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉The issue is that these developers wanted one thing (lower fees), but lobbied for “freedom of stores” and “external payment systems”
They got what they asked for, which is not what they wanted.
overstrike@Migueldeicaza Yes, but also: Epic doesn't want lower fees; they want the Epic Game Store on every platform. Whatever else one thinks about this issue, Epic being one of the deepest-pocketed complainers isn't doing the rest of the developer community any favors here.
Dominic Hopton@overstrike @Migueldeicaza if you don’t want to pay apple anything, just start an alertnative store? For the people who are dropping press releases & doing interview the $1,000,000 credit line proof isn’t an issue, so… just do it?
@overstrike @Migueldeicaza I’ve been miss understanding this. Would swear on my initial reading of the new rules at https://developer.apple.com/support/dma-and-apps-in-the-eu/#distribution-eu it said the CTF was only applicable for the new business terms on the App Store. But no, upon checking again this evening the CTF is ‘… and/or alternative app marketplace’.
Which, really is downright Unity like. wtf.
