      How do you feel about Apple’s App Store tax in comparison to Google’s?

      Pull Fortnite from Apple store, then. Show them that you don't agree with their revenue split with your actions.

      Fortnite is available direct from Epic where that’s allowed (PC, Mac, Android) and in the platform stores where it’s not. This is just an artifact of the 30% fees though. We’d be on Google Play and Steam if either fees were 12% or less, or we could process payments ourselves.

      You are 100% certain that Fortnite is welcome on Steam if they took 12%? This isn't just something you are saying because you are certain it never will happen?

      Yes, we’d do it. Just as we’d put our game on Google Play if the terms were significantly better.

      If the 88%/12% store wars were a coin toss, here’s it goes: Heads, other stores don’t respond, so Epic Games Store wins and all developers win. Tails, competitors match us, we lose our revenue sharing advantage, and maybe other stores win, but all developers still win.

          What about the consumer as well? Why can’t we have the choice to buy a game we want on our platform of choice, instead of finding out the game you were wanting to play has been bought into exclusivity? (Metro, Control, Wattam, etc).

          But you can't match other stores, all your store has going for it is exculsives, free games, and 88/12 cut. Not to menion your store still lakes basic feature, the other stores have nothing to worry when you the "competitor" can't even put a release date on for upcoming games.
