Njengoba singafunda ku-tweet evela ku-akhawunti ye-Epic ne-Fortnite, "I-Fortnite izobuyela ku-iOS eYurophu ngo-2024, isatshalaliswe isitolo esisha sohlelo lokusebenza lwe-Epic Games ye-iOS". Nakuba i-Apple manje izovumela ezinye izitolo zezinhlelo zokusebenza futhi i-Epic izosebenzisa lokhu, u-Tim Sweeney, i-CEO ye-Epic, uye waqhubeka nokugxeka u-Apple, njengoba ethi izinguquko ezimenyezelwe yi-Apple ziwukuhumusha okunonya kwemithetho.
Baphoqa onjiniyela ukuthi bakhethe phakathi kwemibandela ye-App Store kuphela kanye nemibandela yesitolo, okuzobe kungekho emthethweni ngaphansi kwe-DMA, noma bamukele uhlelo olusha olungekho emthethweni lokulwa nokuncintisana olugcwele izinkokhelo ezintsha eziwudoti zokulanda kanye nezintela ezintsha ze-Apple ezinkokhelweni ezingacutshungulwayo.
Izinto ezimbili uSweeney akhononda ngazo ukugunyazwa kwezicelo kanye nekhomishini ka-Euro engu-0,50 yomsebenzisi ngamunye ngonyaka uma ukufakwa kwesigidi sekweqiwe. Ukwaziswa ngohlelo lokusebenza kusho ukuthi noma ngabe i-Apple ivumela ukufakwa kwezinhlelo zokusebenza ezitolo zezinkampani zangaphandle, i-Apple kuzodingeka ibuyekeze lezo zinhlelo zokusebenza ukuze izigunyaze. Ikhomishini ka-€0,50 izokwenziwa kunoma yiluphi uhlelo lokusebenza olufakwe izikhathi ezingaphezu kwesigidi ngonyaka, kusukela lapho kuqhubeke kumsebenzisi ngamunye kanye Njalo ngonyaka kuzokhokhwa ikhomishini yama-euro angama-50. Lokho akubonakali kukuningi, kodwa uma sibala izigidi zabasebenzisi abangafaka i-Fortnite ngonyaka... Imali engenayo ye-Apple ingaba nkulu. Ingabe kulungile ukuthi i-Apple ikhokhise lokho ngohlelo lokusebenza olungadluli esitolo sayo? Hhayi-ke, kuzoncika ekutheni wonke umuntu ucabangani, kodwa ekugcineni kosuku, i-Epic isebenzisa ama-iPhones nama-iPads akwa-Apple ukwenza imali eningi... akubonakali kungalungile kimina ukuthi bakhokhele okuthile.
USweeney ubengacabangani ngombono wokuvumela izitolo zesikhumba zenkampani yangaphandle ngaphakathi komdlalo wakhe? Futhi i-Epic ayiboni nesenti elilodwa lakho konke okutholwa yilezo zitolo? Impela kulokhu umbono wakho awuhambisani kakhulu nenkululeko yabasebenzisi kanye nemakethe yamahhala.
