Topic	Epic Games is behind North Dakota bill to ban Apple/Google app sale fees
Questionmarktarius 02/16/21 3:26:02 PM #22:	Caroniver posted... Here's what'll happen: The App Store will go from being profitable to making $0. The Play Store will go from making money to makin $0. Google and Apple will have no reason to run these stores if they don't make any money, so the stores disappear! Now there's no one place to go to get all of your favorite apps. Now every individual developer needs to distribute them on their own or wait for some other distribution platform which takes a cut. And if developers are forced to distribute their own stuff, they need to pay for servers, so suddenly apps get more expensive. This, except we'll also get some absurd DRM shit that's essentially phone-Denuvo, alongside several dozen launchers. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:950706611] in Epic Games...
