Epic just baited Apple and you're not gonna believe their endgame
0:06
It's insane. I did not see this coming. What's up everybody? I'm Kevin Smack. As you know, today is going well
0:16
This is video number 5 today? I did 5 videos today? I'm so sorry. I'm probably blowing up your feed
0:24
It's just something that I couldn't wait. because you know figure these things out and sometimes it's like this needs to be said right
0:31
away because everyone else is going to probably think about it and cover it in two days so let's
0:36
go ahead and talk about epic games end game so this is going to be on the matter of epic versus
0:46
apple and google so if you see my other videos you have an idea but let me just give you a real
0:51
quick breakdown. Basically, Epic created a new way so you can buy V-Bucks inside the app
0:58
on iPhone or Android. It's a direct pay. It bypasses their system. They don't want this
1:06
They want everyone to pay the 30%. 30% standard. You know, Apple started it a long time ago and
1:14
Everyone followed suit. Google followed suit. Amazon. Even Steam is 30%. Now Epic Games is 12 on PC So it a little different there But everyone else is pretty much at that 30 So they got their apps banned first from Apple then from Google
1:34
Instantly, when they went after Apple, they put a whole bunch of stuff out
1:39
They had everything ready. They had a parody video from a video from 1984 where Apple was going against IBM
1:47
trying to break free. And they did that by making a really good product
1:52
And they were able to break free from IBM and you barely hear of them anymore
1:58
So now Epic's trying to do the same thing and they think taking 30% of that money is too much
2:05
At least that's what I thought their end game was. I thought they wanted to get cheaper V-Bucks
2:09
and make more money. You know, that's a lot of money they're leaving on the table, 30%
2:14
If they use direct pay, they keep 100% instead of 70% and that makes up a lot of more money, you know, especially when it's
2:23
coming off of the profit side. So what is Epic trying to do? That was the question. Is Epic
2:31
trying to target to get V-Bucks cheaper on both of the stores? That's what I thought they were
2:40
trying to do But then as things broke down more and more they saying you know Apple has a monopoly blah blah blah And I like well what exactly does that mean They have a monopoly It means they own 100 of a certain
2:56
market. So the market they own is the iPhone. See what's going on yet? All right, I'll just go ahead
3:07
say it. Epic is trying to get their own app store on the iPhone and on Android
3:19
They want to sell games on Apple and Android. They don't want to deal, they don't want to be
3:25
a middleman. They want to be the man. They want to go after mobile without making phones
3:31
that's what they're doing unbelievable can you imagine having an iphone and all of a sudden
3:41
you're like do i want to go to the app store do i want to go to the epic store do i want to go to
3:46
the google play store on my android because that's what will happen if epic wins this lawsuit
3:51
that changes everything that means ps4 games aren't specific to playstation xbox isn't specific
3:59
to Xbox everything would be able to switch and cross work could you imagine a day where
4:07
you logged on your Xbox playing a PlayStation game or you on your iPhone downloading Google apps That what Epic trying to do
4:21
They know they can't go against Steam. Steam is just too tough, and they can't beat them
4:27
But if they can move their app store on the phones as well, that definitely gives them
4:34
a heads up over Steam and will help them take down Steam, meanwhile making even more money
4:41
So, there you have it. I thought it was very interesting. I couldn't believe they're going after this
4:49
And from everything I've read, I don't think they're going to win. Because the main problem is Apple's App Store is copyrighted
4:58
Because it's Apple. Apple owns a monopoly of itself. just like Kevin Smack owns the videos here on the Kevin Smack channel it's my channel so I own them
5:14
pretty crazy right now let me know what you think is going to happen I I don't think they're going
5:20
to win I think I think they're in for it also if you want to check out some merch you know we got
5:28
merch all the time you check the store down there i'm sporting a hat today sometimes i have the
5:33
shirts on but i would really appreciate some support through there and yeah if you haven't
5:38
seen it here are some other videos to check out i'll see you over there
