    Fortnite Creator Sues Apple After Game Is Banned From App Store

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/…

    • and managed to get banned from iOS AND Google Play Store in the process...grafician
    • What part of "fuck you, pay us" and "follow the rules of our app stores" didn't Epic get...grafician
    • big ego, too successful, too fast - think they can break the rules. is good that apple and google don't make exceptions.inteliboy
    • Pretty shit they want a 30% cut for in-app purchases that have nothing to do with the store platform.i_monk
    • it's the same with any app in the store i_monk, build your business around itgrafician
    • did they make their case weaker by being banned from Google Play?dorf
    • yeah surprised app stores haven't figured out a better plan for that situation - it aint 2010 anymore.inteliboy
    • Why do you think Apple is about 2T $$ company?NBQ00
    • Doesn't Spotify do this too? Also, I'm with Fortnite on this.SteveJobs
    • The fees Apple charge for apps is exorbitant. Apple just providing a platform isn't guaranteed success for a good app/game and doesn't justify the cost.SteveJobs
    • Apple doesn't set prices for any apps though. Being on the App Store is the key to success for many good games/apps.monospaced
    • Fortnite gets most of its users — and revenue — through Apple's store than any other.monospaced
    • Not anymore. And good on them for doing this for all developers who can't afford to go up against a behemoth like Apple.SteveJobs
    • Apple says it doesn't make exceptions and yet there are leaked emails of them giving better rates and deals to other companies. It's not an even playing field.mantrakid
