Just so we’re clear. Epic is asking for Apple to let them getaway with breaking App Store TOS. This is asking for special treatment over other devs, because, “we’re Epic Games so we should be allowed to break the rules and get away with it” https://t.co/9PxSKzcCvY

Latest Epic filing: 116m registered Fortnite players on iOS (presume active users much lower though) out of 350m total, playing 2.86bn hours. Daily use is down 60% since Epic went to war. https://t.co/RBI4OIqTTI

It would be interesting to know why Epic picked this moment in particular https://t.co/7MXdC8jPT5

I have zero sympathy with the desire to end the app store model, and almost none with wanting parallel payment systems.
— Benedict Evans (@benedictevans) September 5, 2020
I also think 30% is unsustainable, and that Apple too often does a bad job of running the store review
And, Epic is entirely right that iOS has market dominance
@BillSimmons mentioned in passing on his podcast last week that for his son Fortnite was over and the kids had moved very quickly on to a new game. Super anecdotal, but this might be why Epic has gone to war. They saw writing on the table.

Fortnite is cross-platform. It has 116M "registered user" on iOS. What's the DAU on iOS before ban? and 60% DAU drop on iOS = how much drop in "total DAU"? https://t.co/qfffPkXpR5

Today we asked the Court to stop Apple’s retaliation against Epic for daring to challenge its unlawful restrictions while our antitrust case proceeds. This is a necessary step to free consumers and developers from Apple’s costly, anti-competitive control. https://t.co/iRY75BS8GM
