The impossible became a reality a short while ago. This is exactly how the current situation in App A story that will probably literally take many of you breath away. Apple has decided to delete the phenomenon called Fortnite from its app store, which is one of the most played games in the world and which has generated huge money for it through commissions. However, Epic, which operates Fortnite, has tried to put a stop to this today, and it seems that it has AppI don't like it at all.

It's only been a few hours since Epic announced a seemingly innocent novelty in the form of the ability to purchase V-Bucks on Apple products “directly”, i.e. through their own mechanisms and not through App StoreThanks to this, he was able to offer players a price that was $2 lower, which logically many of them heard about and began to prefer Epic's solution over his own. Appimplemented through App Store, who profited from it. Similar circumvention App Store however, it is a violation of its rules, which Apple decided to solve it very decisively – by removing the game from the store. So if you now try to search for Fortnite in App Store, you simply won't find it. It's possible that you'll still come across various articles and tutorials in the store that are related to the game. Apple donated, but the vast majority of clicks on them no longer work. However, the game itself should work for now - at least it did at the time of writing.

The question is how the situation around Fortnite and App Store will develop in the coming hours, as this is something completely unexpected. However, it can be assumed that neither company will have a completely quick solution, as they will defend their truths. The Applu revolves around the conditions in App Store and the need to comply with them, Epica again about anti-competitive practices Applu and news that should not actually outrage the Californian giant, since it is against its rules, but not against the rules of economic competition as such.

Fortnite is for kids
First I read that Fortnite is a blast
That's good
Now I'm over the moon...great news, one more Tiktok and I'll be beyond satisfied
Facebook..that's the biggest plague (right after Android.., maybe the same :D )
You gave a very funny example with Android. So funny that I fell off my chair laughing, because no one will understand the dementia of people who condemn other systems.
Bob - Agreed!
You might be lucky. The vast majority of the user base Appbut not at all.
I'm 30, I play it with my son, and you're just posturing assholes. So who wants to buy my ecosystem from apphuh?
You're an idiot if you're 30 and killing time with that kind of junk.
Your mom is an idiot for naming you Apple...
You definitely look 30 when you express yourself…
Age doesn't matter much when it comes to expression, it's a matter of intelligence and upbringing. Now, I'm not aiming it at anyone in particular, it's just that the reaction seems inaccurate to me :)
And calling someone an idiot for expressing their opinion in a democracy is very intelligent. And I beg your pardon if you are being sarcastic ;)
When you have the game downloaded, it works normally. Now I even downloaded the update and could play.
But you don't have quests there, and you don't even have a Battle pass
Is someone forcing you to play games and watch funny videos? Or you just don't wish it on others like a typical scumbag vandal, certainly a bonzac.
I would say from epics App Store does not need. Application in App Store it doesn't have to be, just download directly from epic on the unofficial website (app Store by the way) I play these more games that are not in App StoreI don't think Epic will sit on his ass and cry about it, but he'll go his own way.
It goes? I thought that such things could only be done through some profile installed in apple device (similar to beta profiles)
of course :) for example the betting application from fortunyneni in appstore, but it must be downloaded directly from the Fortune website :)
bububu, bad betting, creates addiction and destroys families :)
I don't know what you are. appstore, but I normally use the app from fortune, tipsport, etc. in app I have a hundred. And I can even bet on it.
Epic by accident Apple It needs a lot. Fortnite may be downloaded by more users on Android, but users Applu will spend a lot more money on shopping. So Epic will be hurt (from 30% Apple too). Well, those are the conditions Applol, Apple he has created a gold mine for developers and he himself benefits from it enough and he will not let it be broken just like that. Even from such a sleazy company like Epic #fuckfortnite
I would like to ask where it is possible to find out how much money users spend on average in Fortnite Applu vs. Android users?
No one will give you a Fortnite report, but as a web/app analyst, I can tell you with confidence that users on applu really do spend more. From my experience/data, conversion rates are consistently higher by up to 50% depending on the focus of the website/app. Generally speaking, 10 users per iOS will make the same revenue as 15 users on Android.
I would slightly modify one sentence here: Apple you've made a gold mine *OF* the developers.
Not the other way around.
Only a person who doesn't have it can write iPhone. You can click anywhere you want if it's not in AppStore never that nestimmediately.
And it tells you something Macbook? There is also App Store and can download anything from anywhere...
Oh no… what a shame…
Practices applu are really funny. They've been digging their own grave since Jobs died. Weeee
And I had the feeling, based on sales, financial results and everything measurable, that since then they have been setting one record after another, their shares, sales, profits, revenues and margins are growing quarter after quarter and no, they are digging their own grave and they are doing it wrong. How do you measure that?
AppI understand.
This is the same as when you put an advertisement somewhere and for it to be on the desktop where the most people see it, not only should they pay, but they should be happy to pay because it is also a profit for them.
Apple he created such an area and manages it, so it's probably normal to ask for something for it.
On the contrary, the practices of developers who want to pay for every function in the application are abnormal, where the price often rises to ridiculous amounts or totally ridiculous monthly fees.
Let's do something about this Apple done, but it will be difficult. The first step is Arcade.
I am the unfunkancI don't understand. They probably never created anything. I fully support Apple, that they shut down Fortnite because they started their own microtransaction system.
For the uninitiated:
Appcreated by Appstore, gave an opportunity to developers, they can earn millions, but they go to the system Applu who is responsible for him and develops him further. Therefore, they had to accept the conditions arising from the use of the system. And one of them was that I can't use my own microtransaction system in applications. It would be easy if the developer pays 100E annually for the license and earns millions from microtransactions. And zero responsibility for system functionality? In this way, they had to pay 30% of each microtransaction and Apple even with this money, it ensures the longer development and security of the system.
I would also proceed in the same way, and I proceed with some projects. The developed software is paid for as a license and separately for maintenanceancE. And no interference from the customer.
Pro ignorant: Apple needs third-party developers. Without their application, iPhone no one used it because they shouldn't have it on them Facebook, Instagram, games and other applications.
The argument that Apple is the savior of developers is absolutely misguided. It isn't. Apple it only profits from developers.
Apple and developers is a classic win-win. Profits like Apple so developers. Apple has an app and the developers don't have to worry about distributing and paying for the app. It's worth the 30% to me, but Epic has a "slightly" different point of view :-)
that's business. No one is telling developers to use it apple. They do it because they also profit from it. And since they use a foreign platform, they have to adapt to the rules. Otherwise, it's completely wrong - people still think that in a democracy they can do anything and everyone makes their own rules. Not at all, that's anarchy. Just like there are laws, companies also make their own rules so that they can function at all. bypassing them always hurts someone. Developers can easily make their own operating system, their own phone, and sell their own games. No one will limit them. Apple Appstore + developers are in symbiosis, so the rules must be followed. Fortnite bypassed them. full stop.
Facebook or do Instagram or YouTube also pay 30% of revenue? I'm just asking because I'm interested.
