- dnautics 5y agoIIRC, they have, in south korea. (that would be a refutation of both points)
- mbreese 5y agoWe won't know how the new law in South Korea will play out in practice yet and we won't for a few months (it's too recent). It will probably be at least a year before we know how it *really* will affect the commissions a company like Apple makes from the App Store.
- kllrnohj 5y agoApple lost their exclusivity on in-app-payments: > Rogers issued an injunction that said Apple will no longer be allowed to prohibit developers from providing links or other communications that direct users away from Apple in-app purchasing. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/10/epic-games-v-apple-judge-reaches-decision-.html https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/10/epic-games-v-apple-judge-rea... So Apple didn't "lose" their 30% exactly, but everyone is now free to do what Fortnite originally did and that's link to their own site for users to buy in-app currency instead. It's likely all but certain that every game with IAP will be deploying this over the next few months.
