Only two days ago we informed you about the latest information from the case Apple vs. Epic Games. The cards have turned a bit, because Applu probably lost his temper and filed his own lawsuit. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney also responded to this, leaning rather sharply into Applu and criticized his actions.

The aforementioned statement was released via the social network Twitter. The Californian giant had already described the entire dispute earlier this week as a common disagreement that revolves only around money. And it was precisely this statement that became a thorn in the side of the aforementioned director. According to him, this is exactly what means that the apple company has completely lost track of the functioning of the principles of the technical industry and behavior during its years at the top. AppWe could describe it as a kind of posturing in court. Unfortunately, he did not specify what principles he actually had in mind. We also received an official statement on video from Epic Games, which parodies the iconic apple advertisement from 1984, which literally moved the world in its time. In this direction, Epic wanted to show that it is Apple an all-powerful company dictating terms to users. At the same time, he uses his position to control the market and get money.

Sweeney then talks about why the "war" against apple cider started in the first place. App Store. According to him, developers also have certain rights that must be respected. However, the Epic boss strongly disagrees that the whole dispute is only about money, but in fact it should be about the desire for change.
Presumably they're just posturing for the court, but if Apple truly believes the fight over the App Store's distribution and payment monopoly is a "basic disagreement over money," then they've lost all sight of the tech industry's founding principles.https://t.co/349RHLqKYa

In connection with the ongoing lawsuit, the Fortnite game was almost immediately removed from Apple's store. App Store.

App The court hearing will not take place until the end of September.
Apple he did not lose the values he had. On the contrary, he always sticks to the rules he set a long time ago. And it is good that he insists on observing them.
We are not on the Vietnamese market where exceptions are traded.
If you want to sell here, follow the given rules. If you don't want to follow them, you don't have to be here. How plain and simple.
Exactly, I agree.
This show just proves that Apple really treats developers fairly - everyone has a level playing field. Cool.
except Amazonat 😀
But I don't have it, I read somewhere that maybe Amazon He just negotiated an “exception.” Epic just wanted it too…
But maybe it was a lie.
God, you are stupid or naive! Do you even know how business really works? Do you think that, for example, in a wholesale business, all customers have the same discount? Every customer has the right to negotiate terms and conditions and they do negotiate them. The question is always what terms the other party is willing to offer. The bigger the customer, the bigger the discount.ance., that it will negotiate better conditions than others. EPIC is proceeding in this direction in a completely logical and correct way.
Pete13: ProSorry, but someone else is stupid here. If you were paying close attention, you would know that in this store the SAME conditions apply to everyone. Pro for you, for me and for Epic. Epic is not acting logically because it did not understand that it will not get different conditions either.
A big plus for Apple.
kinder-capitalist entry, you have to defend the corporation that you're on the ass of and that will say maybe 50% in a year
And what do you expect? That every company will give everything to everyone for almost nothing or completely free? ProWake up. Companies are here to make money.
I would like to be in your company, where everything is given away for free everywhere. You must have come to the drum very quickly.
… uttered by the Kindersocialist.
Naive, Apple they no longer adhere to their values and are only interested in money. Just look at how it panders to China.
Epic is also suing Google, but it's not such a show ;)
The situation is different there. You don't need Google to play Fortnite. You download the game normally on the EPIC GAMES website and make payments there as well.
Exactly. Perfectly proven that they were not interested in any change, but only money.
Solve a stupid child's game. I'm cheering. AppI wish Epic would be more serious and not spread this shit everywhere that pretends to be a game. A game for stupid kids, nothing more 🖖😊
