Epic will lose, why people defending them is funny. Not their software, not their store. Buy crummy Android if you have a problem.

Google probably happy they dont have this issue.
And if Apple wins, it might mean they damage their brand abit.
Ei. users next phones could be androids.

Apple loses even if they win.
This isnt a great look for them, comeing right ontop of the backlash from gamepass also not being allowed.

Fortnite is their software, the in-game sales are in their store... And that is why apple is pissed, because they aren`t using apple store to give money to apple for something apple didn`t do. Just like government and taxes, they just think they are entitled to a cut of your pay for reasons.

Maybe... the phone if bought is urs though.
When you bought it, you assumed it could do certain things.

Whos to say that apple users, never antisipated that they could run into a issue like this?
(ei. their favorite game being removed by apple, because of greed)

This could be the first lawsuit of many.
What do they call those? class action lawsuits? apple could probably face one of those if it beats epics, by phone owners.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for clearing up.

I think they actually lowered the ingame prices on the microtransactions (ei. passed on the saveings, they wouldnt be paying apple, onto the end users).

Also, its not a matter of "they will pay the same as before".
Its now a matter of, "I cannot play fornite on my phone anymore" for iphone users (apple removed it from store, and made it so it cannot connect to servers).

Apple banned fortnite for it making a change to their sw for allow purchase inside the game and that way apple wouldn`t get a cut. But apple dressed it as if they were protecting users.

this just blew my mind.

Google is like.... we have a store, I wonder if apple (iphone) users would want to be able to use it?

Other developers are also having issues with Apple's nonsense.

Here's an example from Linus Tech Tips on their experience.

Yes, motivated by money.
So is apple btw.

This doesnt mean that Epic Games doesnt have a case though.

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

Can you imagine that?
Google probably wants to join on a anti trust case against apple.

Remember computers and windows?
They used to ship only with windows Internet Browser, until they were forced to give people options and treat them the as equals.
Now people can use FireFox, Chrome ect.

This is that,... .but instead of a computer, its now a phone, and stores/software.
