You don't say? /s
Developers: We want to distribute our software independent of any app store.
Apple: F* you.
Devs: We don't care about Apple Pay.
Apple: F* you. You have to integrate Apple Pay into your apps and cannot mention other payments systems in your app. But since you sued us, we'll generously allow you to tell your clients about alternative payments systems through any other medium (but not your app).
Devs: We want you to stop gauging us with commissions.
Apple: F* you. But since you sued, we'll not raise the 15 to 30% rates you suckers pay us, for 3 whole years!
Devs: But we sued you ...
Apple: Ok, fine - we'll give some of you a share of $100 million of your own money from the billions all of you suckers pay us annually.
The lawyer who filed the suit on behalf of the devs, and who probably profited the most from the lawsuit, happily declared: “We truly are proud that a case brought by two developers, standing in the shoes of tens of thousands of U.S. iOS developers, could help to bring about so much important change.” - https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/27/technology/apple-settles-app-store-lawsuit.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/27/technology/apple-settles-...
