I& #39;m seeing a lot of people say stuff like "Why should I cheer for Epic; they& #39;re already rich." Which, of course, is true, but I think misses one of the points of why they& #39;re doing this.
Namely, they& #39;re the only ones big enough to do this and actually make a difference.

This is exactly like -- I& #39;m not joking -- Taylor Swift taking on Spotify. Taylor didn& #39;t need the money, but she was a big enough voice that her making a statement brought the issue to the masses: https://time.com/3554468/why-taylor-swift-spotify/">https://time.com/3554468/w...
Taylor/Epic don& #39;t *need* more money per transaction, but smaller artists certainly do. They can throw around their weight to make things better for other people.
Of course, they& #39;re going to make more money, too, but (maybe I& #39;m just being naive) I also think they want to help.

I think there is a part of Epic that says "We& #39;ve made a bunch of money, so we can fight fights others can& #39;t and make moves others won& #39;t."

I thought it was BS xCloud couldn& #39;t come to iOS, but dd canceling my Apple Arcade sub really drive that point home?
Did -- in the grand scheme of things -- a few hundred of us Tweeting about xCloud even register on Apple& #39;s radar?

Fortnite being removed does exactly what Apple doesn& #39;t want -- it puts the rev share dispute everywhere. Your local news will cover this because kids love Fortnite and parents love happy kids.
xCloud wasn& #39;t going to do that. Comixology wasn& #39;t going to do that.

I dunno, man. I get that fighting, winning, and changing this helps Epic make a bunch of money, but I also think Epic wants to help other game devs make a bunch of money.
