> Apple has removed Epic Games’ battle royale game Fortnite from the App Store after the developer on Thursday implemented its own in-app payment system that bypassed Apple’s standard 30 percent fee
> 1,000 V-bucks, which is roughly equivalent to $10 in-game Fortnite currency, now costs just $7.99 if you use Epic direct payment instead of the standard Apple payment processing. Normally, that amount of currency costs $9.99. Epic says, in this case, customers keep the extra savings, not the company.
Either I can't count or Epic can't.
- CamelCaseName 6y agoEpic still has payment processing costs, ones that were contained within Apple's 30% fee, and probably some other costs I'm not familiar with. They may have rounded those costs up to the nearest $X.99 for clean numbers.
