Not GP, but this is not exactly correct. Epic has been buying up releases to sell exclusively (just like consoles do in their walled garden monopolies).

Yeah, it's funny how people conveniently forget that and cry for the poor billionaire underdog.

And they're warring about the commission on ... in app purchases ... on a predatory free game aimed at teenagers?

Yes and doesn’t Epic offer self serving discounts on fees I’d you use their own game development platform?

Right exactly, you’ve narrowly defined a monopoly for your argument as “mobilizing iOS devices”, just like Epic had a monopoly on its App Store. There is a 100% analogous alternative to iOS devices: Android devices.

But I can’t buy virtual currency somewhere else and use in Fortnite. I still have to go through Epic to buy digital goods on their platform.
