> "is actually providing Epic a ton of value and profit" claim is completely bollocks
If it was true Epic wouldn't be clamouring so hard for App Store presence and iOS users. Epic is the first to admit that App Store provides a ton of value and profit. The whole rigamarole is Epic wanting it but paying less or nothing for it.
> there's (comparatively) very little money in iOS gaming.
According to whom? Epic filed a lawsuit because they were losing ungodly money after millions of iOS based gamers stopped playing Fortnite. What did they expect, users will start buy gaming consoles just for this? Sorry but that's ludicrous, there's plenty of other good games on iOS. Many of them also don't try to leech money off you or your kids like Fortnite.
> Can you point to any iOS-exclusive games that matter out there?
That's true of any big game, most games are released for multiple platforms because it'd be stupid not to do it if you can.
