Last month, after a [[link]] long and protracted legal battle, . Fortnite had been removed in late 2020 after launching its own in-app payment system that bypassed the App Store's payment system (and the 30% commission), a violation of Apple's terms, and Epic took Apple to court.
Epic's argument was essentially that Apple operates the App Store as a monopoly, and characterised this as a fight about consumer and developer rights. The courts agreed and Apple now has to allow apps to point users to their own payment systems (which it doesn't get any cut from), and after initially dragging its feet the courts forced it into compliance.
In response to a question about how Apple will make money, which doesn't really seem to be a [[link]] particular problem for one of the largest companies in the world, Sweeney says "Apple is free to [[link]] make money by fairly competing to offer services such as payments and ads to willing buyers."
Sweeney's jubilation was shared by several prominent developers. Randy Pitchford posted a screen of Fortnite's Victory Royale screen, while 3D Realms / Apogee co-founder : "Tim, you're gonna make Tim Cook retire early. Might be a good thing."
Fortnite is now back on the App Store in the US, with its own payment system, and for now Apple can do absolutely nothing about it. Sweeney is certainly enjoying the moment, and why not, but this is far from over.

Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly. The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay.
