An interesting perspective, makes it surprisingly fair play and totally crippling to third parties at the same time.

I guess the outcome will be that outside some completely irrelevant oddballs there will just be one or two entities like Epic serving the intersection of non-casual gamers and people who consider the iPhone a gaming platform and they won't pull much market away from Apple, but serve as a limiter to how much Apple can abuse their platform rule. It will look like a failure, but only because some of the limiting effect on platform abuse will also bleed into makets not directly affected by EU rules.

No, the outcome will be that the EU rightfully fines them an examplary amount for this non-compliant farce of a plan.

And they'll be fairly fined for it
