To be fair, they're taking a lower percentage. And you know why? Because when there's competition... you have incentive to undercut the competitor. And especially when it's like, you know, 0% margin software, you can undercut them if you're willing to take less profit. And for Epic, it's way more profit than not getting any profit from mobile platforms, so they're willing to undercut Apple.

But, you know, Epic's tactics are not always great, and sometimes they ask for unreasonable things, but that's... The result is it's causing these systems that have held up the two giant mobile platforms to come under scrutiny and to be judged and decided that they are actually impairing competition and here's how we should try to restore competition.

To the extent that benefits Epic, ideally it would benefit anybody who wants to make a third-party store is now more free to do so than they were before, but we'll see.

Is it because of the paywall, though, or is it just because Americans don't like soccer?

That is the easier solution. And the other thing is, I don't know much about soccer or this person, but from the article you read, incentivized him to finish his career in America. I am assuming he was the greatest soccer player, but now he's getting kind of old. And so...

You can have an equivalent of other sports, a great sports player that maybe has passed their prime, and by far they would be the biggest player in the MLS, but who are they playing with? Are they playing with all of their rivals from the peak of their career? No, they're back playing the real soccer in the rest of the world, right?

So even to a big soccer fan, it's like, well, they got this great guy at the end of his career. It's great he got put out to pasture and he can go beat up on the Americans who aren't as good at soccer. But like that's that's not enough to support a league. The rest of the soccer world has all the stars of soccer playing each other, which is much more exciting.

And I mean, the paywall probably doesn't help here. I'm it's one of the most fascinating things about this deal is that they were able to finagle it so that he gets a percentage of his subscription revenue. That's star power to have a deal with Apple. Yeah.

prescription revenue like that just shows that he is the only player that matters in the league because i don't think there are many other players in mos that are getting a percentage of apple subscription revenue well but he probably only gets 70 percent um he's probably getting a tiny percent but any percent it's like when movie stars get big enough to start getting like a percentage of gross right it's even bigger than that so i i think this the answer is that that americans just aren't into soccer but yeah and you know
