That seller almost certainly signed a contract with amazon saying that they would give amazon most-favored nation status with regards to product prices. So they could absolutely say such a thing, but in the end they couldn't contractually offer anything at a cheaper rate than what they list it for on amazon.

- PeterisP 5y agoNo, that's definitely not identical - no one, including Apple, is asserting that the fact that Fortnite users could by the same thing cheaper directly was a contract violation, the contentious issue was only that this cheaper price was being advertised on the iOS app.
- vlovich123 5y agoRight. Just as with Amazon. You don’t necessarily see Amazon with the lowest price for an item (the most favored nation thing may happen but I don’t know that that’s standard SOP for everything on the store, eg PlayStation may have discounts through other channels and for certain types of vendors they view as fungible without a brand they may not care at all). But you don’t see advertising for the cheaper option on the Amazon page.
