But Sony and Nintendo do the same ?

Oh boy, I sure hope good guys Epic come out on top. Apple is pretty amazing......but....You can't go wrong with the the underlying feel-good nature of Tencent pleasing their CCP masters.

I guess that was just Apple looking for our best interest kkkkkk.
Brave Exvius you can do purchase in-app. And that really shouldn`t go to apple or whoever else isn`t the company that made the product. If Apple want to charge a certain amount for anyone to release a product on their store, or a cut of the product far enough, but to keep solicitating money after the product was sold is ludicrous. Only government can justify that type of stuff.

and Microsoft.

Im sure theres games made for consoles, that are not allowed on stores/consoles.
If epic wins the law suit, they might be legally forced to allow for such games/software to be installed anyways.

How cool would it be if you could just install say.... a ebook reader, on your switch?
Suddenly its not just for portable gameing, but you can use it as a ebook reader too.
Or be allowed to install windows / linux, on the PS5/XSX/Switch ?

Thats gonna be hard to argue from apple's side.

They allowed Fornite to be there, forever and never had any issues.
This is clearly just apple, not likeing they might make less on in-game sales.
Its not in the users best intrests, its in theirs (apple's).

can you imagine when you first install your phone they ask which store app do you want to download?
