the apple vs epic ruling is in.
this is a huge victory for wed3 gaming.
when will we be announcing @axieinfinity worldwide on ios, @skymavishq?
For those curious on what the new Apple vs Epic ruling will (and won't) do for mobile apps:
- Apps can accept crypto payments rather than routing through the Apple app store (with a 30% fee). This is huge for integration with mobile wallets where users can spend their crypto directly (USDC, ETH, SOL, etc) without having to pay extra fees.
- Mobile apps for NFT marketplaces will allow buying/selling of NFTs. The days of having to use mobile web pages to buy/sell NFTs are over - apps can now enable NFT purchases directly.
- Apps were previously not allowed to gate any functionality via NFTs (which was used to circumvent app store fees). It seems like the Epic Games lawsuit ruling overrules that policy, but I'll need to double check this. If overruled, this would allow teams to provide more utility to NFTs.
- This still doesn't make the 0->1 fiat onramp experience for crypto apps easier. Users will still have to go through KYC to actually buy crypto, but once they have crypto it'll be easier to use in iOS apps.
