You’re kidding right? You think this is going to make a difference in the cut? The word you’re looking for by the way is “financially”. Fiscally is to do with taxes.

  It literally says “public” treasuries or revenues there, public meaning government. It’s a common misconception apparently!

    The second definition says financial matters generally

      A common enough misconception to be have been included in a dictionary!

https://www.lexico.com/definition/fiscal https://www.lexico.com/definition/fiscal The OED establishes a North American usage of this term as "relating to financial matters", and is not exclusive to taxes.

  I like how this was challenged and not "decimate".

  It seems likely the purpose was to cause more people to think about the game Fortnite by virtue of the publicity from this. It seem like something their lawyers pitched to them as “hey if it works, great, you save millions a year on the App Store percentage, and if it doesn’t, hey, at least you’ll get a whole lot of publicity, which should drive your sales up enough to more than compensate for the losses of being off the stores for a bit.”

    Seems like a very expensive stunt if they don't get concessions from apple. That app is literally making millions a week on iOS alone.

      Ah it makes sense now. Epic is the maker of unreal engine, which collects a 5% royalty on licensee game sales over $1M. So they would stand to profit somewhat more than just from lower fees on Fortnite.
