I’ve spent a lot of time making fun of Apple’s weird contradictory explanations for why Roblox can be on the App Store, but in seriousness I think it’s great they made the call they did, and I hope Apple’s explanations open the door to more apps experimenting with the model.
In like five years Epic’s gonna launch an app where you can buy any game made with its engine but technically they’re all part of the Unreal Experience.
To get around in-app purchase rules Epic will be technically selling small activation tokens instead of games, delivered by a fleet of carrier drones.
Jokes aside Epic is explicitly bringing this suit, per Tim Sweeney, because it sees Fortnite as a metaverse where people will be eventually making and selling stuff to each other and it doesn’t want Apple getting a cut of every transaction.
