Epic Games has defied the App Store Monopoly. In retaliation, Apple is blocking Fortnite from a billion devices. Yesterday morning (Thursday, 13, August), Epic Games introduced a new payment mechanism through a server-side update that allowed gamers to purchase Fortnite’s in-game currency directly without the middleman. It allowed the app to bypass Apple’s in-app purchase framework and the substantial cut that Apple takes. Of course, like any scumbag middleman who thrives on stealing from both sides of every transaction, Apple quickly acted in banning the app from the App Store. Apple enjoys a 100% monopoly over the iOS In-App Payment Processing Market. Monopolies are tyrannies. #Fortnite #FreeFortnite #FortniteMac #FortniteiOS #FortniteApple #NineteenEightyFortnite #Apple #AppleStore #AppStoreMonopoly #AppStore #EpicGames #MonopoliesAreTyrannies Sources: https://is.gd/l4ggtJ https://is.gd/Qv7Qnj https://is.gd/PzFgzH
