#Fortnite just got kicked off of #Apple's #iPhone and #GooglePlay after they defied their 30% tax and allowed purchases to go through their own payment processes instead of the app store platforms'
@realcaseyrollins Not a fan of Apple's closed ecosystem at all, but the game development company knew the terms of service--or should have--when they joined the appstore program.
Unless their suit argues that buyers of iPhones and iPads should have a right to install apps outside the appstore and pay through channels of their own choosing, I have no sympathy, because they're just being spoiled children.

@nerdman @realcaseyrollins If #Epic is just seeking the right to replace #Apple as the monopolist, there is no right way. If they are seeking to enforce the rights of iDevice purchasers to do as they see fit with their own devices, then it is a worthy cause.

If what you're saying is "monopolies bad, fuck them up the nose", then I agree with you.

Whether or not Apple or Epic are breaking the law, is now for a judge to decide. (Probably no one's breaking the law, just someone is breaking the terms of their contract.)
I'm going to guess that some lawyer discovered some novel strategy on how to pursue this and Epic decided to test this.
Epic uses *LAWSUIT*. Will it be super effective?

I don't think there's a best way to do it, other than breaking into Apple CEO's home and breaking his legs or something.
