It would be nice if they could double again in the next 3 years
That’s my target lol

In terms of the Epic shenanigans I feel that the worst case scenario is that the courts allow Fortnite back in the app-store as long as it adheres to the agreement until any final courts decisions. So worst case Apple keep making money from Fortnite purchases... I get the feeling Epic wouldn’t put the app back though, they’d rather cut off their own nose is my guess.

USB-C makes it easier to connect other things such as hard drives

Just ban all in-app purchases for games and the like, no in-game curency, no loot-boxes, no problem.

I’m starting to think Apple should just stop all in-app purchases, except for physical goods which have no charge. Make all apps an upfront purchase.

Apple said:

 ... We won't make an exception for Epic because we don't think it's right to put their business interests ahead of the guidelines that protect our customers.

... If Apple moves forward with its planned course of action, Epic will no longer be able to update the Unreal Engine ... Epic filed a temporary restraining order to halt Apple's escalation, saying the iPhone maker "is attacking Epic's entire business in unrelated areas."

So, basically, Epic’s strategy assumed Apple would not ban them as a developer. I wonder if this is standard practice for developers who purposely try to circumvent the in-app rules, or if it is an exception.

If it is an exception, it’s funny because Epic wanted Apple to make an exception for them, and they will have. Just not the exception they wanted!

If it is not, and this is standard practice, then it just shows how ill-considered the whole gambit has been.

I can confrim that Apple removing developer accounts for not adhering to the rules is normal practice.
