    I’m so happy this other large company which wants to embed itself as a storefront and soak up fees won against the other large company which was already doing it.

    Like, genuinely I am, but Epic isn’t doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. Epic/Sweeney is mostly sad they didn’t have the monopoly first.

      Now Epic can finally install their own payment system, bypassing Apple’s parental controls, and little Timmy can just enter the details from mommy’s credit card when Epic gets him addicted to gambling loot boxes.

      Such a win for consumers.

        We have laws to protect children, no other companies: we need laws that hit hard companies that don’t respect people (and other companies)'s rights.

          Hahaha, good one.

          we need laws that hit hard companies that don’t respect people (and other companies)'s rights.

          In the US? That’s not going to happen. The US is run by corporations.

      What a dumb bar to judge them by. Not a single entity with an interest in fighting this fight would be doing it out of the goodness of their hearts
