Huge video game companies are exposing Apple's iOS hypocrisy

Tim Sweeney finally made good on his word. Epic Games is suing Apple over anticompetitive practices, after a calculated act of disobedience forced the App Store to block Fortnite from the iOS platform. On August 13th, Fortnite developers introduced an option for iOS players to make in-app purchases directly from Epic, rather than using the App Store's payment system, which gives Apple 30 percent of each sale. As a reflection of this invisible fee, the direct-to-Epic option was cheaper. A few hours later, Fortnite was removed from the App Store.
