Isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka kamuva lesi sigwebo asishiyi i-Apple noma i-Epic Games ijabule, zombili lezi zinkampani sezigculisekile, ake silazi ngokujulile leli cala. Kusukela manje kuqhubeke izinto eziningi zingashintsha ku-iOS App Store.
Imidlalo yama-Epic ayikaze iyithande le ndlela
UTim Sweeney, isikhulu esiphezulu se-Epic Games, ubelokhu ekhononda ngamakhomishini afanelwe emakethe yemakethe yamavidiyo kusukela ngo-2015. ). Ngakho-ke, inkampani yakhe ihola ngesibonelo futhi ifaka ikhomishini engu-12% konjiniyela ekuthengisweni ngakunye kwe-Epic Games Store, ngaphansi nje kwezinga lemakethe, kepha nezinkampani eziyizimbangi ezifana nalezi ezibalulwe ngenhla.
Ngiyayiqonda ikhomishini engama-30% ezitolo ze-game console, ngoba kukhona utshalomali olunzima kwihadiwe futhi eziningi zazo zithengiswa ngaphansi kwezindleko zokukhiqiza. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lezi zinkampani zisebenzisana nabashicileli ngemikhankaso yokumaketha, kepha hhayi kuzingxenyekazi zamaselula neze-PC.
Kusukela i-2018, i-Fortnite, ephethwe yi-Epic Games, ibilokhu yanda ngefomethi yayo yamahhala kuwo wonke amapulatifomu, enye yazo izingcingo. Kodwa-ke, kusukela ekuqaleni ama-Epic Games azamile ukugwema ngazo zonke izindlela ukuthi i-30% ikhomishini enikezwa ngabanikazi bezitolo zokufaka izicelo kokuthengiselana kwangaphakathi.
Akukhona okokuqala i-Epic Games izama
Ngokwethulwa kwe-Fortnite yamadivayisi we-Android, i-Epic Games ibifuna ukusebenzisa ngokugcwele amathuba okufaka izinhlelo zokusebenza ezivela eceleni ku-Android ngaphandle kokudlula ku-Google Play Isitolo futhi ikhokhe amakhomishini abo "ahlukumezayo". Ngenxa yalokhu, kwakha imikhankaso ebalulekile yokubambisana nezinkampani ezifana ne-Samsung, okuvumela i-Fortnite ukuthi ifakwe ngohlelo lwangaphandle, ezimweni eziningi kufakwe ngaphambili kumadivayisi eselula futhi akuhlobene ngokuphelele ne-Google Play Isitolo. Okuthile okungasebenzanga kahle kakhulu enkampanini.
Ngokushesha kwavela amashumi ngamakhulu ama-clones kanye nabaduni ababezinikele ekugenceni abafaki be-Fortnite ukuze bathelele amadivayisi amaningi ngangokunokwenzeka nge-malware. Ngoba vele ... ngubani obengacabanga ukuthi i-Google Play Isitolo izonikeza ukuphepha okwengeziwe kulokhu? Kwakuyi-hit yokuqala yangempela ye-Epic Games, okwathi ngo-Ephreli 2020 yethula i-Fortnite ngqo ku-Google Play Isitolo, uhlelo lokusebenza ebelivele likhona ku-iOS App Store kusukela ngo-2018 ngenxa yokuthi akunakwenzeka ukufaka okuqukethwe ngaphandle. I-Apple yenze kwaba nzima kakhulu ekuqaleni.
Agasti 2020, umbukiso wePorject Liberty uqala
I-Epic yaqala ukuhlela lokho kwabaningi okwakubonakala njengokubhidliza zonke izinkampani ezikhokhisa ikhomishini engama-30% ezitolo zazo, kepha okucaca ukuthi kukhawulelwe kupulatifomu ye-Apple, lapho kutholakala khona inani elincane kakhulu labasebenzisi beFortnite. Okungahle kube ukukhetha okujwayelekile noma okungajwayelekile, akukaze kube njalo. Imidlalo yama-Epic ngokusobala ihloselwe ukunciphisa imiphumela emibi engaba khona yokumenyezelwa iqhawe lonjiniyela begeyimu yevidiyo empini yakhe yokulwa nokusungulwa. Ngale ndlela I-Epic Games yethula iProjekthi Liberty, uhlelo lwayo lwamasu.
I-Epic ikhishwe isibuyekezo esivumela abasebenzisi ukuthi bathenge ama-turkeys kusuka emithonjeni yangaphandle, ngaleyo ndlela kuncishiswe izindleko zabo ngama-20% inqobo nje uma bengasebenzisi isango lokukhokha le-Apple noma le-Google. Emahoreni ambalwa abakwa-Apple nabakwaGoogle balusukumele lolu daba kanti uFomenite ususwe ngokushesha ezitolo zezicelo wasolwa ngokwephula imigomo nemibandela yesevisi. Ngaleso sikhathi ama-Epic Games afaka amacala ku-Apple nakuGoogle abevele bewalungiselele kusengaphambili, kanye nomkhankaso wokukhangisa owalingisa isikhangiso esasenganekwaneni se-Apple esithi "1984", konke kwakuwuhlelo oluhlelwe ngokucophelela.
Kwaqalwa ukuqulwa kwecala kwafika isigwebo
Kwakungekho ukubuyela emuva. I-Apple yafaka isimangalo sayo ngoSepthemba 8, 2020 isola ama-Epic Games ngokwephula inkontileka nokudala ukulahleka kwemali kanye nezinkinga zokuphepha. Futhi-ke, phakathi kobufakazi nezinsolo, sifinyelela esigwebeni sokugcina, lapho kubonakala sengathi akekho ogcine ejabule kakhulu ngomphumela, ikakhulukazi Imidlalo yama-Epic, ebizama ukuphoqa i-Apple ukuthi yamukele izitolo zangaphandle zohlelo lokusebenza ku-iOS.
Okokuqala, i-Apple izothola isinxephezelo esilingana namakhomishini angazange atholwe ngenkathi i-Epic Games yamukela ukuthengiselana okuvela ku-iOS ngaphandle kwepulatifomu yokukhokha ye-Apple:
Uvuna i-Apple ngokwephula isivumelwano. Imidlalo yama-Epic izokhokha umonakalo nge-a Inani elilingana no-30% we $ 12.167.719 emalini etholwe yi-Epic Games yabasebenzisi kuhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Fortnite ku-iOS ngokusebenzisa i-Epic Direct Payment phakathi kuka-Agasti no-Okthoba 2020, kanye no-30% wemali engenayo enjalo eqoqwe yi-Epic Games kusuka ngoNovemba 1, 2020 kuze kube usuku lwesinqumo, nenzalo evela ngokomthetho.
Kepha i-Apple nayo ithole eyayo, futhi manje sekuzophoqeleka ukuvumela ezinye izinhlelo zokukhokha kubathuthukisi. Eqinisweni, ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule i-Apple imemezele ukuthi kusukela ngo-2022 izovumela ukufaka izixhumanisi zangaphandle zokuthenga okuqukethwe ngaphakathi nohlelo. Lesi sinqumo siyakwenqabela ukuthi i-Apple ivimbele onjiniyela ukuthi bangafaki izixhumanisi zangaphandle noma ezinye izenzo ezinhlelweni zabo eziholela ekuthengeni izindlela ezigwema ukukhokha okungama-30% kumakhomishini.
Ngaphandle kokuthi i-Apple ithathe isinqumo sokudlulisa icala eNkantolo Ephakeme yase-United States of America, izoba nesikhathi esiyizinsuku ezingama-90 (kuze kube nguDisemba 9, 2021 ozayo) ukwenza lezi zinguquko ukuze kugwenywe ukungaziphathi kahle, okungenani ngokuya ngemithetho California.
Akuyona uthayi. Abakwa-Apple bagwetshwe ukuthi bavule isitolo sokufaka ezinye izinhlelo zokukhokha ezingaphezu kwamandla abo namakhomishini abo, nokuyinto ummangali abeyicela. Uma elahlwe yicala lokwephula inkontileka, kuyenzeka.
Kubonakala kimi ukuthi awusifundanga lesi sigwebo: I-Apple iwina ecaleni ngalinye lama-Epic, ngaphandle koyedwa. Ijaji liphoqa i-Apple ukuthi ivumele abathuthukisi ukuthi bafake izixhumanisi kwezinye izindlela zokukhokha ngaphandle kwe-App Store. Impi enkulu ye-Epic bekufanele ibe nesitolo sayo, kepha ngeke ibe khona. Indlela enhle yokubona ukuthi u-Epiceno akaneme ngalesi sinqumo ukubona ukuthi uthini umphathi we-Twitter ku-Twitter: akasithandi. Ijaji likwenza kucace ukuthi i-Apple ayinabukhosi, nokuthi i-Epic yephule isivumelwano, futhi nemali okumele ikhokhele i-Apple izobaluleka.
Bona ukuthi uqinisile, leyo Epic imemezele ukuthi izofaka isikhalazo eNkantolo Ephakeme. (Catch the irony).
