so apple has a 30% tax on every purchase on the app store and epic bypassed it somehow so when people bought

stuff in their game they will have the full amount without the 30% tax which is against apple's app store ToS. and thats why it got removed.

 

What do you think about this? do you think its a good thing it got removed?

and what do you think about the "#FreeFortnite" thing going on on twitter?

Agreed, the only thing Epic Games is good for is Unreal Engine, which yet again they are still stealing your money when you distribute a game.

@SUPERSMASHERBROS I agree. It's pretty wrong to go and break a majot tech company's ToS, so they definitely deserve it. (Especially because it was a tax bypass)

modifying a ui and calling it yours does mean it's your ui.

Well apple is a monopoly and removing 30% can actually hurt small businesses but Epic Games has enough money -_-

I don't like fortnite but they knew it was gonna happen.

Apple should follow the android way where you are free to download using unknown sources. It's not gonna make it less secure unless you choose to turn that feature on.

Also, i know the play store does a 30% cut too, but at least on the android side you have the choice to use alternative stores or directly download from some source.

@Hectique You can't consider this a fair tax.

It's taking a lot of revenue from them, and many other developers.

They don't even have other choices.

I call this bypassing a monopoly, not bypassing a tax.

I think that fortnite should be revomed permenty off the app store because of what they did. fortnite isn't a trash game its just absoulty garbage whenn so many sweats runi the game. Sadly i have spent to much money on this game just to realise that its just a rip off :(
