Is step 2 really “extend”? I swear to god, nobody uses this term properly anymore, especially here. EEE is description of practice of attacking standards like file formats and protocols.
Epic has proven to be very spiteful. They’re likely doing this just to hurt Apple with Altstore being accidental beneficiary. I very much doubt that Apple fee is going to remain in place, so this donation will carry Altstore through the interim period before EU forces Apple to comply.
Swear to whoever you like - you’ll find words and phrases created for one thing often apply to other things. But if we want to be pedantic, how bout this: I don’t trust Epic Games. They do not do anything for the sake of good, this included. Your logic fails here because this doesn’t spite Apple in the slightest. They still get their money.
It’s only recently that EEE as a term started being misused and it’s happening mostly in the Fediverse so I’m not giving up on correcting that.
Also, what I said doesn’t mean I like any of the involved companies. I use Apple products but cheer whenever they’re exposed for being dumb or greedy. Epic is only doing this because they missed the train on electronic storefront monopolies. AltStore took people’s money and released a store that had like 2 apps total for months and only got some more only recently (and they’re very middling). There’s no good guys here but outcomes of their fight seem positive regardless.
