> All that is going to happen if Epic gets their own store is Epic will be collecting the 30% rather than Apple

"All" that is going to happen if Epic gets their own store is there's going to be competition in what is now a monopoly. To say that the only difference will be lower quality is, at best, naive.

I'm interested to see Steam on the iphone rather than anything Epic might do

Epic winning wouldn’t only let Epic do things. It would let any one. Though why not be interested in what the company doing the fighting is doing? Versus Steam that only has a good rep because other app stores in comparison seem worse. Even though Steam’s fee is crazy too and they only did one recent change because of competition.

Steam isn't even an app store on Android.

I use steam on my phone all the time via gforce now.

The good news is that if Epic wins, that could be a reality!

Great I can't wait to sideload the Epic Game store on my PS5 and Xbox series X. I also look forward to the outlawing of buying exclusive rights and laws that force developers to release their games on every platform in existence. Anything less is AnTi CoNsUmEr..

Some of us prefer to sit down and use a device without having to worry about installing an app or game store just to use/play one app...

You still totally can! You can just not buy those things! The rest of us get to choose! Delightful.
