Basically Apple wins but they have to allow devs to link to to alternate payment systems so Epic really wins

Fine by me. Let Apple continue to collect their 30% commission, but allow devs to refer users to other payments options besides Apple's stranglehold.

So it seems like Epic got what it wanted

EDIT: I wonder how much money fortnite is actually making these days, i know it's still popular with a younger audience, but it can't be nearly as popular as it was a couple years ago

This is going to cause utter hell if it applies to consoles, when every goddamn game ever requires yet another user account for "reasons".

We've traded walled gardens, for walled gardens inside of walled gardens.

What we actually want: sideloading
What we actually get: even more surveillance and DRM

Hopefully not. Even on PC, only EA and Ubisoft insist on making all of their games link to their services no matter what.

The tl;dr is that Apple was pissed about Fortnite v-bucks being sold outside of the Apple Appstore ecosystem. Only Netflix gets away with outside payments, for some reason.

I don't particularly care about the actual case, but it was interesting reading some of the stuff that was revealed along the way.

So Apple got money, but Epic got their alternative payment?

Sounds like they both won, which means we lost >_>

It's one company trying to be greedy at the expense of another company's greed. How is Epic 10 times worse?
