A judge just blew up Apple’s control of the App Store

The judge called Apple’s insubordination a “gross miscalculation.“

Epic Games v. Apple judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers just ruled that, effective immediately, Apple is no longer allowed to collect fees on purchases made outside apps and blocks the company from restricting how developers can point users to where they can make purchases outside of apps.

. .

The judge also referred the case to the US attorney to review it for possible criminal contempt proceedings.

    Sweeney is also offering a “peace proposal” from Epic: “If Apple extends the court’s friction-free, Apple-tax-free framework worldwide, we’ll return Fortnite to the App Store worldwide and drop current and future litigation on the topic.”

    Pretty sure this has a 0% chance of working.
