Quoted from DylanFan71:

I use an Amazon Kindle to read books. There is an iPhone app that you can use to read but Amazon has made the choice that you cannot purchase books from the app to avoid Apple taking their cut. I need to use the actual Kindle device or go on the website to purchase a book. Easy workaround.

This is it in a nutshell. If Epic wants the Apple generated revenues, they either need to offload purchases to the Epic website, or even easier, just change the price of VBucks to reflect the 30% apple share. I would wager a majority of Apple users would pay the increased fee on Fortnite, without even knowing they were paying more than those not using Apple for the same service.

Quoted from Coyote:

They can't - this is why Apple cut them off. They were offering purchased through the app through their own website, bypassing Apple's fees.

I didnt catch that part of it, I thought the issue was purchasing VBucks within Fortnite itself, on an Apple device..... So, how does Amazon get away with the same thing on Apple's store? (Buying Ebooks from Amazon, and then reading them on the Kindle app on Apple)...
