Apple’s court loss to Epic Games is a stunning turnaround | The DeanBeat


Epic Games finally prevailed this week in its antitrust case against Apple, the world's most valuable company with a market value of $3.2 trillion.

“Effective immediately Apple will no longer impede developers’ ability to communicate with users nor willthey levy or impose a new commission on off-app purchases,” Gonzalez Rogers wrote. With new legal rulings in place, developers will be able to send players from games to make digital purchases from webshops on any platform that allows it, including iOS in the European Union and United States, Epic said. This decision, which bans Apple from charging fees on external purchases and restricting developers from linking to alternative payment methods, could dismantle that tax, putting more money directly into creators’ pockets.”
