After bad reviews for Microsoft which promotes the Microsoft Store, creating a closed platform for developers, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney "put it up" with Apple and Google.
Και οι δύο έχουν δημιουργήσει app stores που βασίζονται εξ ολοκλήρου στην ιδέα του μονοπωλίου, αναφέρει ο Sweeney επισημαίνοντας το τέλος του 30% που πρέπει να πληρώσουν οι προγραμματιστές στην Google και την Apple για να πωλήσουν τις applications their.
In an interview given to CNBC, Sweeney reports that the extra charges that developers have to agree on only increase the price of apps and games. Apple has invented what Sweeney calls an "absolute monopoly", while Google does not leave competing stores with "UI barriers".
Epic Games previously released Fortnite for Android, one of the most popular mobile games, as a standalone APK installer to avoid the 30% fee that Google demanded to make the game available through the Play Store. However, the game was finally released on the Play Store after Sweeney admitted that downloading it manually was too complicated procedure for some of its users.
"Google is deliberately suppressing competing stores by blocking the user," Sweeney told CNBC.
"If any developer could accept the amount requested without adding a 30% from Apple and Google, we could pass the discount on to all our consumers."
Sweeney's company created it Epic Game Store last year, with developers paying a fee of 12 percent.
“Apple has locked down and paralyzed its ecosystem by inventing an absolute monopoly on distribution software, και τη δημιουργία εσόδων από το λογισμικό” ανέφερε ο Sweeney.
Next week, representatives of various technology companies, such as Apple CEO Tim Cook, will attend a congressional hearing on the anti-competitive methods they use.
I wonder why there are many who still deal with Apple and its products.
I found it… There is an excess of nonsense in the world
