US Court Ruling: Apple Can No Longer Charge for Out-of-App Purchases
An important decision has been made in the Apple vs Epic case. Apple is no longer allowed to take commissions on purchases made outside of apps (web shops). Developers can now redirect players from their games to web shops in the USA. Both Epic Games and Xsolla are pleased with the outcome.

There has been a surprise ruling in the Apple vs Epic Games case. US Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, who ruled in favour of Apple in 2021, has now ruled that Apple intentionally violated a court order. The judge found Apple guilty of violating a federal injunction to protect its anti-competitive behaviour. "They lied under oath. They ignored court orders. All due to corporate greed to impose a 30% tax that you ultimately pay" (ProtonPrivacy).
