Except revenue, which they still very much need.
- lukeschlather 6y agoI would bet that Epic could lose this suit, be forced to pay damages, and they would still have no real need of revenues from the Apple Store. Most people with an iOS device probably have access to another device they can use to play Fortnite, and the only way the iOS 30% cut works out in their favor is if: a. there exist some customers that will only license Fortnite on iOS and/or will buy an additional license for iOS. b. at least 70% of these customers won't instead seek out another platform; e.g. buy a second tablet because Fortnite won't work on iPad, or use a device they already own which they may not like as much as the iPad but will work.

Just a heads up, Fortnite is free to play and makes its money through microtransactions, selling things like characters to play as, dances to show off during the game, things like that.
