I’m not really sure how that would work. iOS has always been a closed system with apps needed to go through the store. The one store. And it’s thrived.

Yes you can make the argument about jailbreaking to sideload etc. but realistically it was an os designed to have a single point of entry. I’m all for abandoning fees and more source options but this is not the way to that. Nor does this help completion or open up other avenues for a competing App Store. And let’s be honest, getting into the Apple ecosystem, you should already be aware of its limitations.

It’s does give Tim Sweeney a hardon thinking he’s a winner.

E- seriously, read the article. Follow the news. All this allows for is alternative payment systems to bypass apples fees. The point I made originally is still valid as Epic will still be collecting fees on its own stores. So let’s maybe lead by example? The Epic Games Store may not be you only option on PC. However it handles more “exclusive” distribution deals than any of the other pc stores.

Still fees in the Epic Games Store, Tim?

This is off topic to OP, but can you please elaborate on Jackass downloader comment? I’ve been using jD2 for literal years now and have yet to find an alternative that works as well, especially for a large amount of link crawls from a single clipboard. What is the issue with it, and what would your suggested alternative be?
