Epic Games directly violated Apples TOS today by offering consumers a direct way to pay for V-Bucks to Epic rather than through the Apple App Store. In retaliation Fortnite was removed from the App Store.

I'm pulling for Epic here (shocker). They give more money to developers and that's always a good thing.

I wonder what Google thinks of this? Not against their ToS?

They did the same thing on the Google Play Store, not just Apple.

Not in the context in which it’s used. They use that shite to leverage scummy exclusivity deals and have beef with every publisher they can to get free press. Don’t fall for it. They’ll have a console out in a couple of years I guarantee it.

Nevermind they sued Google too.

Epic Games sued Google over pulling Fortnite from the Google Play Store Thursday evening, following a similar lawsuit against Apple.

Well sure we agreed to terms that say we can't do exactly what we did, but how dare you enforce them! We're suing you!

frick Apple, but it's their store. Maybe if their customer base were to start drying up they would change their ways? Until then they have no reason to stop.
