Apple lost absolutely nothing.
The only thing it did was probably create some new accounting jobs at Apple since they still can demand a 30% fee from those third party methods.
Apple is no longer allowed to prevent 3rd party payment methods in apps on the app store, but it can ban apps from the app store for having them. Tim says Fortnite will keep having 3rd party payment options so Apple says Fortnite will stay banned on the app store.
There still no 3rd party in app purchases
Just now Apple can't stop people putting links to dev website where they can make purchases
Apple still entitled to 30% cut
They are not lowering 30% cut
Tim lost on all fronts
>apple must allow 3rd party payment methods >fortnite is still banned because it's apple store thus apple laws
then whats the difference they can just ban anyone else who does it until no one does
Why are you lying on the internet? Fortnite got kicked off of app stores because they pushed out an alternate payment method before any lawsuit. At the end, the judge specifically stated that not only did Tim Sweeny violate the contracts he signed, but that their internal documents used as evidence showed that they were aware they were about to violate those contracts, and that they agreed to do it anyway.

You can inform your customers through emails and shit that there are alternative payment methods but you can't just slap the payment method directly right into the app like Epic did.
Fricking idiot. Apple can’t ban an app from having them. It can only ban an app if it has them AND doesn’t have an option for In App Purchasing through Apple.

1 week ago. >Apple lost >Epic won
5 days ago >they both lost
Just now >Apple won >Epic lost
Quite a dramatic turn of event, I hope nobody trusts the MSM morons.
so, timmy literally gambled the entire fortnite ios playerbase trying to get more money, lost it and then still has the gall to say he does it for the consumers?
iOS was only 7% of Fortnite's revenue, but made up about 30% of their users. Epic probably values users more than revenue at this point for their """metaverse""". It's the same reason they are trying to get so many people to use EGS with giveaways.
Snoy can at least spin a tale around their super discounted hardware. With apple you pay 4x more for 10x less capability and still get a closed system.
>when you claim that losing money constantly is a normal business strategy.
Also, can someone explain, how in the frick does he claim that steam is a monopoly, when Epic actively makes sure that you can't buy certain games from anywhere else than Epic store for a fricking year? (on PC anyways)
The same reason he claimed to be fighting for all developers and then said in court that he would have accepted a deal with Apple that no other devs would get the benefits of
>sign contract that says you cannot do x >does x anyway >gets banned for doing x
If Tim really gave a shit about the little guy, he would refused to agree to Apple's terms, and protested by refusing to put Fortnite on ios in the first place.
>sign contract that says you cannot do x >does x anyway >get banned for doing x >claim that you got kicked off the service and say that the company that got you removed were doing it as an act of censorship like 1984 >sue service to reenter the contract with a better deal >admit in court that if i got a better deal i would drop the lawsuit in a heartbeat when i claim in media that this lawsuit is fighting for everyone
good ol tim
No. I fricking hate twitter, but seeing morons like Tim publicly breakdown on twitter is fricking gold.
that's not gold that's fricking uranium
I'm behind on this one. What happened, and why should I care?

That sounds really stupid.
At least it has best outcome.
Sounds like they both lost, perfect
Apple lost absolutely nothing.
The only thing it did was probably create some new accounting jobs at Apple since they still can demand a 30% fee from those third party methods.
>Apple lost absolutely nothing.
bro they fricking lost 30% pay cut
They fricking didn't.
They're still entitled to a 30% cut from third party payment methods.
There still no 3rd party in app purchases
Just now Apple can't stop people putting links to dev website where they can make purchases
Apple still entitled to 30% cut
They are not lowering 30% cut

Chinkbros... we lost....
Tim doesn't want to give Apple any money, he doesn't want the option for paying through them at all

how does that work in a legal sense

TIMMY ARE YOU OK
SO TIMMY ARE YOU OK
ARE YOU OK TIMMY?
this genuinely looks like a rat
he always looks like a skinwalker or something that hasn't quite grasped the concept of human emotions.

>MICROSOFT BAD!
>STEAM BAD!
>APPLE BAD!
Epic Games CEO good!
No one said this, I fricking despise that homosexual for ruining Rocket League, the last multiplayer game I enjoyed playing.

I hate both Apple and Epic. I hope they die in a mutually assured destruction scenario of some sorts.
He's been seething nonstop for two weeks straight so probably not.
so, timmy literally gambled the entire fortnite ios playerbase trying to get more money, lost it and then still has the gall to say he does it for the consumers?
Its literally only 7% of their base which is why they did it with Apple instead of say Sony.
iOS was only 7% of Fortnite's revenue, but made up about 30% of their users. Epic probably values users more than revenue at this point for their """metaverse""". It's the same reason they are trying to get so many people to use EGS with giveaways.

B-but he gives away free games every month!

Nowadays people can claim bullshit, and it will be taken as truth as long as mainstream media takes it seriously.
Because he's a hipocryte.
The same reason he claimed to be fighting for all developers and then said in court that he would have accepted a deal with Apple that no other devs would get the benefits of
death to megacorps
death to apple
Apple is lawful evil.
Epic is chaotic evil funded by another lawful evil Tencent.

Wow.
I mean the one who broke contract deliberately doesn't get to cry about other parties not keeping their promises.
