Epic CEO slams Apple’s “junk fees” as Fortnite stays off iOS in Japan despite new App Store rules

[Redaktion]

Epic Games has confirmed that Fortnite will remain blocked on iOS in Japan, accusing Apple of defying the country's new Mobile Software Competition Act despite formally allowing third-party app stores. CEO Tim Sweeney alleges Apple is preserving its dominance through high "junk fees," strict reporting requirements, and alarming security prompts, while Apple defends its policies as necessary for user privacy, safety, and platform maintenance.

Rich vs richer; oh my... what would users do? 😏

Just pass on the 21% fees to Apple users on your atore. They enjoy getting screwed everyday anyway.

Y'know... world-wide, Apple has about the same market share as Samsung in mobile devices and the two together are about 45% - with the other 55% being Android.

So here's a thought, how about just not supporting Apple at all, eating the relatively small loss, stick with the other 78% and remind Apple what their real world importance is rather than feeding their corporate ego?

I see a LOT of companies obsess over Apple and not even make an Android version of their apps, then complain how hard it is to work with Apple. There's a LOT of corporate Stockholm Syndrome in the world it seems.
