So you’re happy that Apple isn’t being forced to stop their abusive usage of market dominance to impose their payment system on all sellers yet (the courts have already ruled against Apple on this issue, this was just a request for an injunction pending Apple’s appeal)?
No matter how much you hate Epic there’s no way this ruling is good for consumers.
That’s shortsighted - most app developers will likely end up using one of a few payment providers anyway, and it will put some pressure on Apple to lower their fees. I don’t expect it will be enough, but it’s a start towards a more competitive and balanced market.
Good. Epic agreed to Apples terms when they created their developer account only to then decide they no longer wanted to follow the rules.
Hopefully Apple will win at the Supreme Court and Epic will never be allowed back on the App Store.

I prefer it the way it is now. I only have to give Apple my card details instead of each individual app developer.
