🎮 Epic Games just scored a major legal victory against Apple—and it could reshape the future of mobile game development.
In this video, I break down what this court ruling really means:
✅ Developers can now legally link to external web stores
💸 Say goodbye to Apple’s full 30% App Store cut
📱 Could this bring Fortnite back to iOS?
I also share how platforms like Xsolla are already helping creators set up their own stores—and what this shift could mean for indie devs and big platforms like Xbox.
This isn’t just a legal win. It’s a freedom win for every mobile creator out there.
