it's always great when there are barriers preventing businesses from taking full advantage of their idiot customers.

Not sure if some sort of shitty joke/troll or you're legitimately just a bootlicker.

We need to keep in mind this is all so developers can maximize profit off of our low standards.

No, this is so we can stop Apple from abusing their monopoly to maximize profits from our low standards.

Lol, funny watching you completely exonerate developers shoving microtransactions in their games.

It really puts into perspective the kind of consumer you are.

...I said literally nothing about microtransactions?

…I said literally nothing about microtransactions?

This whole debacle is about apple getting a cut from microtransactions sold in games on their app store and epic not wanting to give it to them.

This is about both developers trying to profit off of our (your) low standards, but you're only blaming apple.

No, it isn't, it's about Apple taking a cut of ALL transactions.

but you're only blaming apple

No idea what makes you think that. Apple taking a cut does not prevent devs from implementing microtransactions. The two have nothing to do with each other.

There's absolutely no reason Apple should have anything at all to do with transactions (or anything else for that matter) that take place outside of their app store.
