【聊聊Epic Games vs Apple:蘋果須開放外部支付的可能影響】
這幾天轟動遊戲產業最大的事情,不外乎Epic Games與蘋果的世紀之戰判決終於出爐。法官在週五做出裁決,儘管蘋果贏得 10 項主張中的 9 項,但最重要的一條如下:
"....("Apple") are hereby permanently restrained and enjoined from prohibiting developers from including in their apps and their metadata buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms, in addition to In-App Purchasing and communicating with customers through points of contact obtained voluntarily from customers through account registration within the app."
簡單來說,如果此法令確定生效且普及到雙平台,以後開發者與發行商就可以在手機遊戲中放入任何的支付選項與方式。
以下來聊聊這條法令對於各方的影響:
●對於Apple與Google雙平台
首先來聊聊事主蘋果。據報導,App Store 2020年總銷售額為640億美元,粗估帶來營收接近200億,這些收入主要來自不到 10% 的 App Store 客戶。接著來看Google Play,2019年的成交收入為112億美元,粗估帶來40億不到收入(2020應用商店收入目前查無資料),
整體營收來看,應用商店佔蘋果總收入佔比不到10%,但Google更少,可能連5%都不到。但對兩者來說,應用商店在戰略上都有重要地位。蘋果商店對於服務收入的增長,未來軟硬整合都有幫助;Google商店則能讓更多廠商投注影音線上廣告。
對兩者來說,保持對應用商店的掌控力,策略上還是重要的。
要維持平台廠商的控制力,除了金流以外能掌控的就是曝光,用控制流量的方式驅動廠商將利益留在應用商店。蘋果如果要維持金流上的控制,也許會重新恢復並擴大暢銷榜的版面,提高名次所帶來的自然流量;或是優先給予收入貢獻較高的廠商曝光版位。
不過以上這些,都跟現有的蘋果商店風格完全相反,坦白說我暫時想不出更好拿回金流主導權的方式。有人認為蘋果可能會收上架費的方式來補收入,但那是針對長尾品項的作法,不適合營收集中在頭部產品的平台。當王者榮耀一個月收入一億美元的話,蘋果怎麼可能收3000萬美元的上架費?
回頭看看Google,即使未來需要遵循法令開放金流,其能控制流量的方式比蘋果多太多了。因為蘋果只能在App端控制,而Google控制流量的方式是擴及整個廣告生態系統,從Youtube、網頁廣告到遊戲內廣告都有。廠商多出來的利潤,最終還是會投入在廣告上以追求更高的成長,而目前線上廣告兩大巨頭就是Google和臉書。
簡單來說,遊戲商節省下來的「谷歌稅」,很大機率會以另一種形式被Google重新收回,甚至連對面的「蘋果稅」,也可能輾轉進入其口袋中。
對蘋果來說,最大的問題在於不管是雲端遊戲、元宇宙、遊戲跨平台、虛擬貨幣等趨勢,都是驅動產業往更開放多變的方向走,這和蘋果一直以來的封閉系統價值觀背道而馳。因此,當被外力強力打開時,系統能彈性應對的空間就較少;而Google則已經在整個線上產業鏈中,以開放方式埋下無所不在的影響力。譬如在許多國家Google Play商店早就納入了當地的支付方式,這也將使得其未來面對類似訴訟時有更好立場去面對。(當然,其戰場主要在廣告壟斷的指控上)
●對於遊戲廠商來說
直覺上的確是正面的。原本要支付給雙平台的30%稅,轉變為其他支付方式後,至少增加了10~15%的利潤。甚至,對有些中國廠商來說,由於微信支付寶手續費不到1%,切支付利潤差距極大,也是早年很多傳奇類遊戲商樂此不疲的黑暗兵法。
除此之外,我覺得影響最大會是像Roblox,以及懷抱著Metaverse幻想,需要依附雙平台上進行導流的廠商。短期之內對大家都是好事,畢竟利潤結構發生了根本性的改變。對於以固定價格為收入的遊戲,譬如Battle Pass、月費、一次買斷的遊戲來說,影響是最大的,畢竟原本的價格也不好改變,但成本發了變化。
然而,對於免費商城制的遊戲來說,廠商早就透過機率、禮包、儲值活動將成本轉嫁給鯨魚用戶了,這些大戶對於10~15%的價格彈性不高,驅動付費的還是遊戲機制所塑造誘因、競爭、或各種"真香"所帶來的衝動。所以,也不用期待這些遊戲會因此把利潤回饋給玩家。
長線來說,市場的超額利潤一定會往其他地方投資,最直觀的方向還是廣告。很多遊戲公司,都會設定一定回收周期下,盡量買量擴大玩家基數與營收,所以各家廣告平台,我認為長線絕對會是明確的受益者。
●對於政府來說
如果雙平台不能控制金流走向,那Apple Store與Google Play將只會是一個入口,各個應用可以正大光明自建金流體系,用更便捷的方式使用其他金流、虛擬貨幣、甚至.......洗錢。雙平台已經沒有金流掌控權,是否仍有監督金流走向維護法律與消費者權益的責任在,將會是後續值得討論的議題。
況且,對於很多國家來說,雙平台其實提早幫政府處理了各種問題與收稅。打個比方,天堂手遊在歐洲賺到的錢,平台通常會先扣除相對應的稅給政府後,再將收入提交給韓國原廠,歐洲政府就不用盯著每家遊戲的金流收入而收不到稅。但隨著支付管道的多樣化,未來這方面的處理將複雜許多,消費者碰到詐騙時如何處理,平台該怎麼面對外圍金流所衍伸的糾紛,這都會是後續值得觀察的問題。
總結一句話,不管這項法令最終是否能實行,Epic Games這一衝撞,真的是打破了許多遊戲產業既有的認知,加速了更多的發展與變遷。

Tall Order Drone Cassette Hub - RHD/LHD 9T (Black & Silver) 🐝🐝⚙🏂🔥🔥 @tallorderbmx @djbmxworkshop
We were very specific about having a cassette with super fast engagement. The end result is a hub that has 3 individually sprung pawls with 150 points of contact which creates an almost instant engagement when you start to pedal as well as being one of the most unique sounding cassettes on the market. So if anyone is running a ‘tall order’ cassette you will instantly be able to recognise it from the unique sound alone.
The hub also has a chrome driver and laser etched logo to complete the look. This hub is available with a 17mm female axle and 14mm bolts.

🔥🔥 10 Points in Response to the Prime Minister's "Recovery Plan". Window Dressing Is Not Going To Cut It This Time | Industries Unite
(1) The fact that we have a one-pager after enduring the pandemic for 15months, speaks volumes of the perceived indecisiveness, inefficiency and lack of a cohesive idea on the part of the Government on how and when we are going to come out of this. Contain the pandemic and have a structured economic recovery.. There are too many if's and variables in play for the plan to actually spur the confidence of the #Rakyat.
(2) Weren't we at these levels last year? Unless we have a clear and defined path forward the idea that we will come out of this in September or October 2021, is not convincing; amongst others as the whole plan is entirely based on the accuracy of purported numbers of infected persons and the availability of vaccinations on time. Many analysts have openly stated serious doubts on this.
(3) There are serious doubts about the absolute numbers that the government is resting the substratum of the 'Recovery Plan' on. Limited and variable testing numbers and testings may mean that there are flaws in the absolute numbers being relied upon here. This appears to be supported by the Code-Blue stats.
(4) Where is the tracking data on clusters and contact tracing?
Without this, we are fighting with eyes closed. In any case, most of the cases appear to be asymptomatic, so are the numbers correct?
(5) What if this doesn't work? We simply cannot afford to get it wrong now, the fear is that the projection put forward by you, is not based on any data that has been made available to be scrutinised and verified. Just a blanket wish-list. With the current numbers of new cases and the projection of average positivity rate. With the data, We will be able to see the real numbers (projected forecast) and tabulate a much more concrete plan. However, is the government not doing this because as the numbers are bad? These are serious questions that we have.
(6) Increasing the capacity to vaccinate should be the priority moving forward. Delay and bureaucracy are issues ignored here. Private practitioners who have been inoculating children and adults for decades are not being fully mobilised , these private practitioners, who are by law allowed to vaccinate the public are frustrated by the process of having to register and by trained by a private company #ProtectHealth. The Government's refusal to fully utilise the existing infrastructure of the many #Klinik #Kesihatan and government hospital out-patient facilities, preferring them to mega #PPVs is not optimising the capacity to vaccinate. They have not taken into account that many people especially in the rural areas do not have smart phones or connectivity, yet we insist on deployment of a RM70 million application that has shown itself to crash twice! A manual system was used to great effect in the USA and UK to great effect in simplifying the process and increasing capacity.
(7) The idea of employers being allowed to pay to vaccinate raises the question of allocation of vaccines and a two class system of vaccination process.
(8 ) There is no indication of how and when the vaccination are going to be distributed to the states. Why are we not involving the individual state health apparatus. Surely, they are already set up and are better positioned to roll it out .
(9) Where are the dollars and cents in numbers, in-terms of assistance and Aid to the #public and #businesses to stabilise their economic position for the duration that there are restrictions on movement (#FMCO). Where is the Plan B, in case the targets as stated are not met? What is the plan? Can the government be sure?
(10) Surely a recovery plan should include a plan for Economic Recovery over at least 3 years. If there is One, Where is it?
(11) Do we have an adequate safety net for the public? There is no indication of when people will get back jobs and when, businesses will get back to normal. One cannot assume economically everything will be ok, once we reach October 2021.
It will take many months thereafter to get back to employability and profitability. So whats the plan for that? What are the projections? What are the solutions? What is the plan ?
WE SIMPLY CANNOT AFRORD TO GET THIS WRONG THIS TIME.
PEOPLE ARE DYING. BUSINESSES ARE FOLDING. WE NEED MORE.

Fffffinally!! How to have healthy bleached, dyed, or processed hair ⭐
I've broken down the 5 most important points in order to avoid damaged hair. Considering that I haven't had virgin hair in more than 10 years (since I was 14), I like to think that I possibly know a thing or two! Especially since I maintained my long, pink hair for 6(?) years as a model.
Also a reminder that I'm not a professional of any kind. This is just what I've learnt over the years of bleaching and dyeing my hair.
Please refer to my first video (https://youtu.be/LXE29Faj1yQ) for what products I use and recommend. There's a lot!!
Let's all have healthy hair 💞
Thank you for watching!

Stephon Marbury dominated early. Allen Iverson struck late.
Iverson scored 14 of his 38 points in the final nine minutes as the Philadelphia 76ers rallied for a 102-94 victory over Marbury and the New Jersey Nets.
The NBA's leading scorer, Iverson fell a bucket shy of his 16th 40-point game of the season. He took over in the fourth quarter, giving the 76ers their first lead since the opening minute with a fadeaway jumper with 8:22 remaining and made sure they never trailed again.
Iverson was just 12-of-32 from the field but made 13-of-14 free throws and added seven assists and four steals. He scored 14 of Philadelphia's final 19 points, then skipped the media to nurse bruised ribs and a fat lip, products of a somewhat chippy game.
Marbury collected 20 points and 14 assists. He scored 16 points in the first half, when the Nets controlled play. But he went scoreless over the final 7 1/2 minutes, when the Sixers trapped him to force the ball out of his hands.
Forced to become a playmaker rather than a scorer, Marbury was let down a bit by his teammates. The Nets scored just 15 points in the fourth quarter and lost for the 12th time in their last 13 road games.
Last month, Iverson and Marbury teamed up to rally the Eastern Conference from a 21-point fourth-quarter deficit to victory in the All-Star Game. In this one, Iverson hounded Marbury down the stretch. Marbury shot 8-of-24 and committed seven turnovers.
"They went big, and we tried to trap him and get it out of his hands," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "Then we tried to keep him from getting it. Our big guys did a good job of trapping and then Allen did a terrific job of denying."
"He was getting fouled and he wasn't getting calls," Nets coach Byron Scott said. "He goes to the line two times tonight. That's ridiculous. They say he is creating all the contact, but that other little guy (Iverson) that is pretty (darn) good does the same thing and he goes to the line 14 times. Tell me the difference."
Tyrone Hill had 13 points and 14 rebounds for the Sixers, who have won three in a row and eight of 10. They are 4-2 since acquiring All-Star center Dikembe Mutombo, although he was not on the floor when the Sixers made their surge.
"Tyrone Hill just killed us on the boards," Scott said. "That was the difference."
The league-leading Sixers (45-16) dominated the boards, 41-28, and avenged a 96-89 loss at New Jersey on February 4 in which they blew a 15-point third-quarter lead.
"We have a bull's-eye," Hill said. "Every team that we play wants to play hard and wants to beat us. ... They feel if they can beat the No. 1 team twice in one year, that it shows you what kind of talent they have."
The Sixers trailed 79-75 entering the fourth quarter but began the period with a 10-4 run that Iverson capped with his go-ahead jumper. It was Philadelphia's first lead since 2-0.
Marbury answered with a layup for his final points and the teams traded a pair of points before Iverson made two free throws and a jumper that followed a dive to the floor that kept possession for the Sixers and gave them a 91-87 lead with 4:49 left.
"Allen made an unbelievable hustle play among a lot of great plays," Brown said. "Defensively, I thought he's improved a lot, but that was by far for a whole game his best defense. He played against a great player."
A free throw and dunk by Aaron Williams got the Nets within one before Iverson struck again. He came around a screen for a jumper and added two free throws for a 95-90 bulge with 2:57 to go.
Williams made two more free throws, but Mutombo powered for a three-point play after Hill kept possession with by hustling for a rebound. Iverson answered rookie Kenyon Martin's jumper with one of his own and Eric Snow's jumper sealed it at 102-94 with 35 seconds remaining.
"They were hitting some shots in the first half, but we kind of tightened it up in the second half and it was hard for them to make the shots they were making in the first half," Hill said.
