Great to see states take up the mantle of protecting consumers from unfair pricing. The FTC abandoning Apple's lawsuit was a clear-cut case of political corruption from Cook and Trump. No just court could ignore the damages Apple deliberately imposes on their competitors.

It’s not consumers, it’s developers getting ripped off. In theory the price stays the same, Apple just can’t steal 30% anymore

I wish we had compounded/criminal liability for when big tech finds legal loopholes to further its power

If it is a legal loophole then it isn't criminal. This comment just doesn't make sense. It signs like you are saying "I wish we had criminal liability when a corporation gains power."

What does NO Fees on web transactions really mean? Epic can make a free game, but have paid bits be installed via web browser?

Like download netflix for free. Sign up for subscription via web. No paying apple tax?
