608: Boot to Toot

It's basically like when you buy the iPhone in the before DMA days, when you buy the iPhone, you're not buying it with any expectation that there are third party stores where you bought an Android phone. It's like, oh, Android is open. I can get apps from anywhere. But the Google was essentially disallowing that. I think that was the gist of one of at least one of the arguments.

It might be less than what Apple did for the DMA, though, don't you think?

Because Apple wrote so much code to make sure that they could do what they wanted to do in the way they wanted, where they could have just said, fine, third-party app source. You know what I mean? Like, it's less work to allow more things, and Apple worked so hard and made so many frameworks, sometimes necessary, like trying to allow the browser engines while maintaining security.

yeah yeah but you know hey that's that's part of the danger of having a judgment go against you you don't get to decide suddenly you have to do a bunch of stuff not on your schedule not when you want to do it not how you want to do it but because a court ordered you to do it and that's not no one wants to develop software that way that's the danger of losing court cases if you had actually self-regulated and been a little bit uh you know less uh controlling you could have set your own schedule to do stuff like this but yeah

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.

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...
