Fortnite is gone from App Store 4 years 3 months ago #1263522

Any constructive opinions? If you don't care about the topic, don't reply to it, thanks! It's also been removed from the google play store. Read about the reason here www.theverge.com/2020/8/13/21366438/appl...ations-epic-payments (please try to avoid deriving from the topic and monologuing about why capitalism is bad)	Davidov007 Offline Expert Boarder Expect me to write, a lot.

EpicGames know what they're doing. It's not greedy at all, it's in the Apple contract. All Fortnite is doing is weaponising kids with a stupid Apple ad parody and for what? To help EpicGames earn more money?

Fuck if that isn't beautiful capitalism at its finest.

While it is in their ToS and Apple likes capitalism, it's still a pretty dumb move and I doubt they thought it through. Considering the amount of times the App Store has showcased fortnite on their main page, they've just lost one of their most popular games.

Let's be honest epic isn't a small developer trying to fight the big bad corporations they just didn't want to lose a 30% out of every v buck purchase so they tried to cut them out and of course, apple and google aren't stupid they reacted. I don't see how epic could win in court it either gets settled outside of court or gets delayed to oblivion	Nick0GR Offline Marvelous Boarder Posts: 10801 Thanks received: 3307 Karma: -113

Apparently there's multiple other developers that are upset with the way Apple treats fees. Spotify and Rakuten have teamed up with Epic, this could be a solid case?

Not at all considering Apples TOS specifically point out how they will take 30% and they all agreed, despite this Epic Games tried to loophole it

kinda bullshit how you need to agree to it if you want your app on iphones. With Andriod, you can choose not to use the playstore and miss out on all its benefits, but you can still have the app on the devices. Apple's system is bullshit, i'm glad they are fighting it

Small devs don't have the time or the money to go after apple or google , they probally are doing it for the money but taking 30 percent for basicly doing nothing when you have no other way of selling your app is bullshit and is a monopoly

This isn't apple being greedy a 30% cut is kind of like the industry's standard, it's the same for google playstore, sony playstation store, xbox store and even steam on some cases I don't know why it's apple specifically that gets mentioned.

because on iphones if you don't use the apple store, then your app dosen't get to be on iphones. You are practically forced to pay 30%. On the others, you are free to still have the app on the phones, just not on their stores if you wish.

I mean did you expected anything else from a company that sells a TV stand separately and just in generally overprice the products?
