- mcfedr 3y agoYour joking right? Nothing apple does is preventing any of that
- lern_too_spel 3y agoIn fact, the FTC sued Apple for the exact same thing (microtransaction for children). The only difference is that Epic immediately took remediation steps and shared them publicly with other stores when they were sued.
