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?

Yeah, I have concerns over the quality of this article. I’m using a standard RTX 3070 and I don’t seem to have any of the frame issues to the degree that the article talks about. I’d lean more into it being a 5090 issue, not an Oblivion / UE5 issue.

“Against The Storm” is the “best city builder” according to the author, for those curious but don’t want the bait.
