Apple and Epic and you, the megathread

You make it sound like this is the first time Epic did something that lead to mistrust of the consumer. But, I believe they have a solid case and will win especially with the EU on their side. This should benefit us in the end, but it may cause some delays for a while. Hopefully it will not take too long but with covid and everything going on, to see this go trough all court stages, it may take until next year. Let’s hope not though, a lot of us dedicated all of what little we have to making our dreams happen. But at least we can still release on android and other platforms (for now).

The EU is not on Epics side. If anything, they will go down hard on microtransactions in the near future, and then Epic will lose a huge chunk of their income (Fortnite) AND this while battle with Apple will have been for nothing.

Remember, this is about Epic getting a bigger percentage from the microtransaction prices through Apple devices.
