Those things weren't ever gonna happen regardless and the main thing that Epic was interested in was allowing Epic to use their own payment platforms which started the entire thing.

I don't see how Apple is going to get 30% from every transaction if app developers can now get users to use their own payment platforms. We also don't know if Fortnite is a permanent ban or not.

Epic wanted their own app store and in-app purchases. They complained that if someone had to be redirected to a website they might decide not to complete the transaction.

Apple could very well change it rules that they are owed something from a purchase originating from their ecosystem, maybe not 30%, but still something.

Check the second remedy Apple received. The termination of their agreement was lawful. Sure Apple might allow Epic back, but they will probably make Epic pay through the nose.

People are missing the forest because of a tiny shrub. Sure, Apple lost something, but it might just be something they won't mind losing.

That was part of their argument yes but realistically that was never going to happen. In most lawsuits, companies don't win every aspect of their lawsuit. They include it just in case they have a chance.

Maybe but Epics entire thing is they don't want to pay 30%. We seen this multiple times with Epic vs Steam and how they don't want to pay 30%. It really has been Epics moto ever since they started their 12% cut in their own store. Regardless of which, the point still stands as we don't know what's going to happen.

Yea we all knew it was a breach of contract but Apple did mention previously that they would allow Fortnite back in if Epic complied. Now whether or not that remains to be true is something we will see but considering how many free to play games there are on mobile that have in-app purchases, if this were to pass, it would be huge. While 12 million is a lot, Fortnite makes billions and that's without iOS. Of course, Apple is going to appeal and probably Epic as well.
