THIS, best chance is for MS, Google and Epic to all join to defeat apple!!!!
This exact thing is what they were expecting.Lmao. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. What were they expecting?
This is kinda what Epic wanted, take the hit for a few days until a legion of people go against Apple for removing it from iOS.
For what?
Today, Epic Games took the unfortunate step of violating the App Store guidelines that are applied equally to every developer and designed to keep the store safe for our users. As a result their Fortnite app has been removed from the store. Epic enabled a feature in its app which was not reviewed or approved by Apple, and they did so with the express intent of violating the App Store guidelines regarding in-app payments that apply to every developer who sells digital goods or services.
Epic has had apps on the App Store for a decade, and have benefited from the App Store ecosystem - including it's tools, testing, and distribution that Apple provides to all developers. Epic agreed to the App Store terms and guidelines freely and we're glad they've built such a successful business on the App Store. The fact that their business interests now lead them to push for a special arrangement does not change the fact that these guidelines create a level playing field for all developers and make the store safe for all users. We will make every effort to work with Epic to resolve these violations so they can return Fortnite to the App Store.
Millions is like pennies to them sadlyGreed piece of shit corporation vs greedy piece of shit corporation, hope they both waste millions in court baby lets get it
Between things like this and the EU case against them, which this is part of, Apple will either change its tune or, well, change its tune. What they've been doing with these rules is asinine.Holy shit.
This is a strategic political move from Epic Games. They know exactly what they're doing.
Now ALL cloud gaming services AND the biggest game in the world is only available on Android.
This feels like the start of a lot of dominoes falling that will lead to Apple being forced to change their App Store policies.
I could never own a Apple phone or computer for my own personal use. It seems like Windows that is limited to Windows Store (Windows 10S).
