Apple being Apple again. Just why does anyone actually like that company?

    Some services, like Facebook Gaming, use web apps as a way to get around the Apple App Store and its fees.

    Smell coming out from this little hole here :)

      Well, now they can use their own Facebook App Store on iPhones in EU, so not sure it really changes anything for them.

        Their own Facebook App Store would have to pay the same fees to Apple as the Apple App Store under Apple’s generous terms. Losing the web app escape hatch is a 30% revenue loss

          Yeah, I’ll wait until EU has their say, because the shit Apple came up with goes against what EU is trying to achieve.
