The weak link in Apple's closed ecosystem is and has always been the World Wide Web. That's why I'm so protective of it; if we lose the web, we will be immediately transported to a world in which Apple (or some other company) gets a percentage of every transaction you conduct online, even if it's something as simple as sending messages back and forth. Now of course a game like Fortnite is much more complex than a simple message, but depending on the platform, it can be offered over the web, instead of as a locked-in application. And while this may undermine Epic's legal case against Apple, it may also put Apple in the untenable position of having to block websites or give up its 30 percent.
