from GREY Journal Daily News Podcast
Y Combinator filed an amicus brief supporting Epic Games in its legal dispute with Apple, stating that Apple's App Store fees and restrictions have limited startup growth and discouraged venture capital investment in app-based businesses. The dispute began when Epic Games sued Apple over its 30 percent commission and anti-steering policies. A judge ordered Apple to allow alternative payment options, but Apple imposed a 27 percent fee on those transactions, leading to further legal challenges. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for October 21.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
