and Apple in particular 尤其是蘋果 is already kind of trouble over it. 已經是一種麻煩了。 There's a case about this headed 有一個案子是這樣的 to the Supreme Court right now, 到最高法院,現在。 and an ongoing antitrust inquiry in the EU. 以及歐盟正在進行的反壟斷調查。 But Epic is putting pressure on Apple 但Epic給蘋果施加了壓力 in a way that regulators just can't. 以監管者無法做到的方式。 It's a sign of things to 這是個好兆頭 not just for Apple, 不僅僅是對蘋果。 but for the whole industry. 但對於整個行業來說。 Tech companies are used to being able 科技公司習慣於能夠 to set their own rules, 制定自己的規則。 whether it's Google Search, 無論是谷歌搜索。 Amazon Marketplace 亞馬遜市場 or the Facebook Newsfeed. 或Facebook Newsfeed。 And it's so surprised when those rules 而當這些規則出現時,它是如此驚訝 end up benefiting the companies themselves, 最終使公司本身受益。 but with antitrust pressure mounting 但隨著反壟斷壓力的加大 the folks on the losing side of those rules 敗家子 finally have a chance to fight back. 終於有了反擊的機會。 Epic was the first one to take its shot, 史詩是第一個出手的人。 but it probably won't be the last. 但這可能不會是最後一次。 Thanks for watching 謝謝你的觀看 let us know in the comments if you have any questions 如果你有任何問題,請在評論中告訴我們。 and not to toot my own horn, 而不是吹噓自己的號角。 but we're like inching up on 3 million subscribers, 但我們就像寸步難行 在300萬用戶。 which is a nice round number, 這是一個不錯的整數。 so, if you haven't subscribed already, 所以,如果你還沒有訂閱了, you know, maybe consider it. 你知道,也許可以考慮一下。
