    Well this policy change is likely going to be US only.

    Epic no longer has to pay apple 30% in the US, but they would like it to be that way across the world.

    What Epic is proposing is if Apple makes the policy change for the whole world, they’ll stop suing them over their obvious anti competitive practices. Doing so would avoid the risk of them losing future court cases and losing more of a grip that they have over their platform.

    I don’t think Apple will go for it, so here’s hoping they lose more down the line.
