You're telling me you're not interested in getting rid of apples' monopolistic policies?

You're telling me that you're not aware that if epic wins then it means apple has less of a monopolistic foothold over the app store?



> You're telling me you're not interested in getting rid of apples' monopolistic policies?

I’m telling you I don’t know. Are you 100% sure that all alternatives are best?

What if this prompts governments to have app stores regulated as public utilities? To me that sounds like a nightmare.

If I were interested in reducing the ‘monopolistic foothold’ I can always get an android phone, can’t I?

Don't know what? I made a bunch of guesses but you haven't specified what you don't know. What do you mean by alternatives that are best?

I am saying that apple should not impose monopolistic regulatory practices in the app store, what alternative are you talking about?

>What if this prompts governments to have app stores regulated as public utilities? To me that sounds like a nightmare.

Yeah like how the government regulates the stock market. Sounds like a nightmare, we should not regulate the stock market.

The google play store does the same shit. It's essentially a dual-opoly.
