Tim Sweeney on the future of Fortnite after another win over Apple

[Neo Harpoon Syndi]

omg i'm like so stoked for epic games!!! they've been fighting this battle against apple for ages & it's amazing to see the appeals court step in on their side tim sweeney is literally a hero to devs everywhere he wants apple to start charging reasonable fees only, no more arbitrary charges that can mess up entire business models this ruling is huge & i'm sure we'll see other companies take notice too

Just had to chuckle when I read that Apple's "arbitrary fees" were basically just a fancy term for exploiting devs And now the appeals court is like "nah, you gotta play fair" It's awesome to see Epic Games taking on the big players and fighting for what's right. Fortnite's been through so much already, from getting banned from the US App Store to dealing with Google's drama. But hey, it looks like Tim Sweeney's vision of a more transparent app store is finally starting to take shape Can't wait to see how this all unfolds and whether other devs can benefit from Epic's efforts

finally some good news about those evil fees Apple's been charging devs it's like they're trying to strangle the competition with their ridiculous pricing structure and Epic Games is like the hero we never knew we needed Tim Sweeney is right, this ruling is a huge win for devs who can now link external payment options without getting ripped off it's about time someone shut Apple down on those junk fees

I'm still salty that Fortnite got kicked out of the US App Store back in 2021 but I guess this ruling will help Epic Games get its game (no pun intended) back on track and now they're focusing on blocking any attempts by Apple to keep collecting those excessive fees from devs it's about time some regulation happened in the app store space

And can we talk about how Google finally let Fortnite back into the US Google Play Store? that was a huge win for Epic Games and their users I'm excited to see what other moves they make now that they've got this momentum going

I'm pretty stoked about the latest ruling in Epic's antitrust dispute with Apple ! It's all about fairness and competition, you know? I mean, who doesn't want to be able to link their own payment options when using an app? It just makes sense . And it's awesome that Tim Sweeney is taking a positive spin on this, hoping for a single worldwide policy that works for everyone .

For me, it's all about giving developers more flexibility and choice in the digital marketplace . I've got friends who work on indie games, and they're always complaining about Apple's fees being too high . So, if this ruling can help level the playing field a bit, that'd be pretty cool .

Of course, it's not like I'm totally surprised – Epic has been working hard to provide alternative payment options for Fortnite users . And now, with Google backing them down over the Play Store dispute , it looks like they're on the right track .

I just hope this inspires other companies to take notice and make some changes of their own . After all, transparency and fairness are key to a healthy digital ecosystem !

Just imagine if Apple's fee structure was like my ex's price tag - too steep to handle ! But seriously though, it's all good that the court ruled out those "junk fees". I mean, who doesn't want to keep more of their hard-earned cash? It's awesome for developers like Epic Games, and now we might see some real competition in the app store. Maybe Apple will finally learn to chill out about their payment structure... or maybe they'll just come up with a new excuse . Either way, it's all good news for gamers!

Apple's App Store fees are basically 20-30% of the sale price . Developers like Epic Games have been saying that's way too high . The new ruling might change this, which could be super beneficial for indie devs and bigger studios alike . The court said Apple's fees were excessive and kinda unfair . Now we're seeing more transparency in the app store space .

Here are some stats on the current state of app store fees:

* Average app store commission: 15-20%
* Top-grossing apps pay up to 50%
* Google Play Store takes around 30%

It's worth noting that Apple has been saying its fees are necessary for maintaining the App Store, which is still one of the biggest digital marketplaces out there . But with more competition and regulations, they might have to rethink their pricing strategy .

This ruling could also help other companies like Google and Facebook, who take a similar percentage from their developers . It's all about creating a level playing field for devs and users .
