+1, Sweeney took the low road by violating his contract with Apple, removing Apple IAP from the existing Fortnight on people's iOS devices, and generally making a point by doing it the wrong way. Two wrongs do not make a right.

Epic didn't remove IAP... they advertised a lower price elsewhere, which is against guidelines (which is not a contract), and did so via an unreviewed update.

Note that updates via webview or JS code are explicitly allowed by contracts, and what Fortnite did is very likely to have used that mechanism.

Check out the latest filing by Apple. Epic removed the IAP from Apple and only is allowing the Epic store purchases.

That's interesting. I wonder if they changed it. I was going off screenshots like this:

Either way violates guidelines
