Epic's move has 0 to do with consumer's. It's only about Epic benefiting from Apple's platform.

Epic's move (if it succeeds) would have a direct positive effect on the consumer. Across the board. It's not a gamer issue anymore. It is now bigger than them.

I keep seeing people say this but where is the evidence this is true? Because from my POV this isn't the case AT ALL. Pc gaming and Android both are "open" platforms and both are far worse for consumers that the App Store. This is another case of "common" knowledge that doesn't seem to be supported by evidence.

MacOS is somewhat open, and pretty much that is the only reason any sane developer can use it.

Is it worse for that?
