Anything is possible when you’re not constrained by what is actually something that can really happen. Namely, epic could even blow up some of Apple’s headquarter campuses by uploading a bomb to the iOS app store because of all the ‘wholes’ in the epic drm.
Comment on Apple terminates Epic Games developer account calling it a 'threat' to the iOS ecosystem
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 months agoIdk, man. Epic very well could have come up with an app so bad that it became a serious vulnerability for the Apple App Store. This could be about the money. It could be about some Apple Engineers making a couple of airbooks live up to their names, trying to plug all the wholes the shitty Epic DRM was creating. Could be both.

This is really whole some

I love how you’re so confident about this despite clearly knowing nothing about programming.
It is not possible for an app to be a threat to the entire app store because all of the code is sandboxed. Please either read up on app development or shut up
Cosmicomical@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Also the app doesn’t run on the app store, so it cannot affect it. The store serves the app as a package that is then downloaded and executed on the user device

Get out of here with this whataboutism.
As far as companies go, Apple is the one being slowly brought back under the law of a free market, after doing gray / illegal stuff for decades.

Epic’s DRM patches routinely break games and open up security vulnerabilities. This isn’t even something new, its been a problem with the company for decades.

While I definitely don’t know everything about Epic Games, but my (quick) googling suggests that they do almost no DRM (or just piggy-back on steam, which is minimal DRM). The individual developers are responsible for DRM. Is this not true?

Considering Epic is a competitor of Steam and actively pulled the games from steam, this seems rather uninformed.

Both things can be true to be honest

But we always need to pick a side.
