lower the percent

at the end of the day companies have to make money and have to bring in some revenue and profit.

# data[].attributes.body
With the rise of Big Tech, smaller software and app developers have been pushed aside.

I took away that sometimes drastic business decisions can be worth it

# data[].attributes.body
I did not even know there was any conflict between Epic and Apple/Google. After understanding more about it, I took away how "fair" differs between perspectives. From both perspectives, "fair" means obtaining a satisfying profit, but the quantity of this profit varies between them. This makes it hard to resolve conflicts within business

# data[].attributes.body
I think when you are talking business make everything efficient and clear because you don't want problems when you are halfway through in making money and eventually they are cutting more

# data[].attributes.body
I took away that companies make decisions and need to weigh their options to maximize profit. I did like learning this way.

# data[].attributes.body
I took away that Apple and Google can afford to have 30% on their app store because they have have the power to do that

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that apple was being unfair by becoming a monopoly and not being fair to the games on there device especially epic games

# data[].attributes.headline
I took away that apple and google are getting attack from smaller/median size companys on the percent they charge.

I think the best way to resolve the solution is that they have a business talk and figure out how much percent everyone gets for doing their job

# data[].attributes.body
to settle a deal with apple

# data[].attributes.body
They could negotiate the price cut, but there are both upsides and downsides to this

# data[].attributes.body
Reduce the price cut to maybe 5 or 10 percent

I think the best way to resolve the conflict is for apple and google to lower the percent

court or its going to be like middle schoolers going back and fourth

# data[].attributes.body
Lower the 30% and put it back on the app store

# data[].attributes.body
Apple should give epic games and other games 80 percent or 90 percent of the profits because they are only sponsoring the game.

# data[].attributes.body
i think the best way to resolve the conflict would be by having som sort of scaled fee system so thet the more money you make off of in-app purchases the higher you fee

# data[].attributes.body
both agree on the same term and mutual agree on a percentage cut, maybe 15%-20%, either way they both are making money, as well as some cons.

# data[].attributes.body
have good mount of cut for everyone

# data[].attributes.body
epic  has enough fans on console so they can stand their grown

# data[].attributes.body
if its worth losing a pouplar game

# data[].attributes.body
Their decision is between keeping large profit margins at a cost to smaller app developers, and allowing for app developers to use their own payment system, which would result in virtually no profit from 3rd-party apps.

# data[].attributes.body
Its gonna hurt apple and google because fornite is such a popular game

# data[].attributes.body
to just keep fortnite out of the App Store, until they agree to whatever they demand.

# data[].attributes.body
They have to find a way either by lowering the 30% or some other way to keep other businesses from speaking out as well

# data[].attributes.body
They need to decide if they are going to change the cut or not have fortnite in the appstore

# data[].attributes.body
Apple and Google have to decide if it is worth having one of the most popular games in their stores at the risk of making little to no money off of it or not allow it back in its store and risk loosing a large number of people that use their stores.

# data[].attributes.body
They have to decide if they can take the scrutiny of the federal government. They also have to figure out if they can take the risk of getting their fee reduced forcibly by the government rather than reducing their fee themselves and having control over the situation.

# data[].attributes.body
Apple and google both are removing games that are taking more than 70 percent of the profit so they maintain a level playing field

# data[].attributes.body
They can choose to deny a lower price cut from Epic (ie Epic gets 80-90% and Apple/Google gets 10-20%) or completely get rid of the game from the store, which would be risky because of the game's popularity

so epic games decided to create their "own bank" were all the profit only went to them

Apple/Google wanted too much of the profits (30%) and Epic wasn't getting enough (in Epic's opinion)

# data[].attributes.body
because epic games felt that the fees for the apple and google store were to high and felt the only way to get to get those fees down were to attack

# data[].attributes.body
They initiated this battle over profit margins for in-app purchases, claiming that Apple and Google’s 30% “tax” was too much and was due to their monopoly over the tech industry.

# data[].attributes.body
Apple and Google taking 30% of revenues made by epic games & they wanted more.

after the feud between the both in wanting more then 70%, apple then took fortnite out of the App Store.

# data[].attributes.body
They believed it was unfair apple was taking a 30% cut out of their sales in the appstore.

# data[].attributes.body
google and apple wanted a percentage of the money made on the mobile versions of fortnite from V bucks

# data[].attributes.body
They felt Apple/Google taking 30% was too high an amount and wanted them to lower it or let them  keep the 100%.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the reason Epic Games decided to "Attack" Apple and Google was to make the most amount of money possible.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, Epic Games decided that it had enough "power" in the industry to make an attack on Apple and Google. They could have also thought that they had enough social media presence to force Apple and goo

# data[].attributes.body
Epic made there own " paymet method" Apple got no percent in profit
