Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney shared the first results of Fortnite's work on iOS after a historic victory in the lawsuit against Apple. According to his statements, 40% of players have already switched to Epic Games' own payment system, attracted by a profitable loyalty program - the company returns 20% of the purchase amount to users, which was made possible by waiving Apple's 30% commission.
Sweeney admitted that he initially expected a quick resolution of the conflict within a few weeks, but the lawsuit dragged on for five years, during which Fortnite was unavailable on iOS. Despite this, the head of Epic Games is optimistic about the prospects - he is confident that the share of users of their payment system will only grow.
This victory is important not only for Epic Games, but for the entire industry, opening up the opportunity for developers to avoid significant Apple commissions. Sweeney emphasized that the company will continue to defend the principles of open digital platforms, despite all the difficulties of this process.
