    The in-app purchases for Fortnite are mostly profit for them, so this is a simple question of pure greed for them.  

    So what? Didn't you know this is how capitalism works.

    Modern conservatives seem to be deeply weird and out of touch with reality.
    Also so funny to watch them arguing against free markets and consumers freedom to choose.

    It is the Reagan version of the little red hen.

     "Exactly," said the agent. "That's the wonderful free enterprise system. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern government regulations productive workers must divide their products with the idle."

     And they lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled and clucked, "I am grateful, I am grateful." But her neighbors wondered why she never again baked any more bread.

    Except in this case the Little Red Hen is willing to provide the garden, and the grain, but can't sell bread to the neighbours because "government regulation" aka "Apple" say they can only grow grain in Apple's garden.

    Sigh. More survivorship bias-reinforced promotion of the so-called “free market” myth, from a guy either already privileged at day one (I honestly can’t be bothered to investigate his start) or lucky in business dealings. “Everyone can [insert success subject here]” and “hard work” blah blah blah...
    So you're basing your opinion on something you don't know is true or not, and you can't be bothered finding out?  Brilliant logic.

    Remember how Apple records,… The record label for the Beatles… Made Apple computer and litter Apple Inc. jump through hoops in the past before they finally settled?
    Remember how Apple Inc agreed not to enter the music market to maintain a distinction, and then just did it anyway?
