This is a very ballsy decision by Epic, forgoing significant iOS revenue in the hopes of eventually reclaiming some or all of that 30% app store tax.
I wonder how much of this decision was unilaterally made by Tim Sweeney. He is quite vocal about how much he hates the 30% tax (Valve included) because the vast majority is just profit and not for services rendered. It's excellent ammunition for his case to demonstrate that his storefront only charges 12% and is still profitable.
Question, if Apple were to lose the first trial would they be forced to allow Fortnite back on the App Store while the endless series of appeals follow?
