Reply to comment by randomguyou in Epic lawsuit claims Google paid Activision Blizzard $360 million to prevent Play Store rival by Sorin61
Sure, they want to avoid paying Google and Apple 30% of the transactions on skins.
A bigger question is why should anyone be paying these two companies such ludicrous fees? On the iPhone it costs consumers over a billion dollars a month in hidden platform fees. Disney can't tell you you're paying Apple $40 a year to watch Disney+ if you subscribe through iOS. YouTube can't tell you why their subscription is nearly $5 a month more expensive on iPhone. Apple makes the highest profits in the gaming industry without making any games because of the fees we incur. This is a ridiculous situation where the platforms have declared their service mandatory to extract endless rent for using our own devices.

Clearly you don’t have an iPhone because I’m not paying any more than anyone else for any of those services.

They have other alternatives. They don’t have to go through those stores
Ya’ll can be pissy, but ‘Lest we forget what came first, the App Store or the app… if not for the brilliance of the platforms and the devices, there would be no app. Epic can pound sand, or alternatively. Build their own devices and stores. I dunno why people get all up in arms about this. They are perfectly free to do so.
