Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney says 'the long national nightmare of the Apple tax' is over
Tim Sweeney won, and he's out celebrating. After a five-year battle with Apple, Sweeney, the CEO of Epic Games, won a massive victory in court last month. Apple must tear down its proverbial walled garden and allow for more competition and payment methods on its App Store. It will no longer be able to take a 27% fee from US developers who direct users to make purchases externally. And that means that Epic's popular game, Fortnite, is coming back to iOS. "Apple's stay is denied by the 9th Circuit Court. The long national nightmare of the Apple tax is ended," Sweeney said on X on Wednesday. "May next week's WWDC be the Apple-led celebration of freedom that developers and users have long deserved." In the comments, he added: "Apple is free to make money by fairly competing to offer services such as payments and ads to willing buyers." Apple is hosting its annual Worldwide Developers Conference at its Apple Park campus next week, where it usually unveils new products and platforms. Last year, it unveiled Apple Intelligence, a new personal intelligence system that incorporates generative AI into writing tools, message summaries, and email suggestions. It's not clear how the ruling will impact conference programming — Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. Apple has said it will comply with the ruling, though it also plans to appeal the court order. In a blog post on Thursday, Apple issued a defense of its global app emporium. "The global App Store ecosystem facilitated $1.3 trillion in developer billings and sales in 2024," it said, noting that for 90% of the transactions it facilitated, developers did not pay any commission to Apple. The App Store attracts over 813 million average weekly visitors worldwide, and spending across three categories — digital goods and services, physical goods and services, and in-app advertising — has more than doubled since 2019, according to Apple. Spending on in-app advertising, especially, has "helped keep many apps free or low-cost for users," the company said. Sweeney, however, is looking forward to a new, more egalitarian era for the App Store, and anticipates two levels of change. The first, as he described to BI's Peter Kafka, will be that "all users are free to learn about better deals from all developers, and all developers are free to not just accept payments outside of the app on the web, but to tell users about those alternative ways to pay and to give consumers better deals. That's a key economic gain here." The second is that "Apple would step up and compete, give developers a much better deal than 30%, and actually engage in competition," he said.

Apple's woes deepen following Epic Games ruling. Here's where we stand on the stock now
Apple suffered a major blow in its bid to alleviate one of Jim Cramer's biggest worries about the tech giant: its legal fight with Fortnite maker Epic Games. A U.S. appeals court late Wednesday rejected Apple's plea to halt mandated changes to its App Store that the company has warned could cost it "substantial sums." "Apple's had a bad streak. This is just more negativity," Jim said Thursday. Shares of Apple fell about 0.7% in Thursday's session, trading slightly above $201 apiece. The stock is down roughly 19% so far this year. The ruling Wednesday evening marked the latest setback for Apple in its long-running legal battle with Epic Games, which first sued the iPhone maker in 2020 in an attempt to force Apple to loosen its grip on purchases in apps that utilize its iOS operating system. In late April, a U.S. district judge said Apple was violating a four-year-old ruling that required Apple to change the way it charges commissions on in-app purchases. The solution that Apple implemented in early 2024 , for the first time, allowed developers to include links to external websites where iPhone app users could put in their payment info. However, Apple still charged a 27% commission on in-app transactions that linked out for payments and told developers how these links should be presented. The judge's April ruling said Apple needed to stop those practices. Now, Apple's request to have that decision paused has been denied. Wall Street analysts say this could dent Apple's financials – albeit not by that much. For example, Morgan Stanley estimated that 2% of Apple's earnings per share, 10% of App Store revenue and 3% of overall revenue for its important services division are at risk if the ruling is upheld. The basis for those forecasts is the firm's proprietary survey from May, which found that 28% of U.S. iPhone users are "extremely likely" to circumvent in-app purchases in the App Store. Despite the Epic ruling late last month, App Store growth has remained solid in May. Net revenues for the App Store increased 9.6% year over year in May, compared with an 8% year-over-year gain in April, according to Morgan Stanley, citing Sensor Tower data. "To date, our view has been the App Store injunction is a minor risk to the Apple story / a longer-tailed risk, as changing nearly 20 years of learned consumer behavior doesn't happen overnight," the analysts wrote in a Thursday note. The firm reiterated its buy-equivalent rating on the stock. JPMorgan shared similar sentiments. The analysts projected a "moderation" in services revenue growth and an up to 3% hit to earnings per share. "Although the denial of a stay is a headwind for Apple, we continue to believe the magnitude of impact is likely to be materially lower than currently being feared by investors," wrote the JPMorgan analysts, who also have a buy-equivalent rating on shares. While Jim indicated Thursday that Apple taking a 2% to 3% hit to EPS from the Epic case is a fair assumption, he expressed frustration with the overall implications of the ruling. "I think it is outrageous that they can use Apple as the equivalent of a common carrier, a Greyhound bus," Jim said Thursday. The Apple-Epic saga is one of the reasons why the stock has become such a worrisome position in recent months, Jim explained during our May Monthly Meeting. But it is not the only threat facing Apple's services division, which has long been a big part of our investment thesis in the company. The business — home to the App Store, AppleCare, ApplePay, iCloud and content subscriptions like Apple TV+ — is coveted for the recurring nature of its revenue streams and high margins. AAPL YTD mountain Apple's year-to-date stock performance. The other big risk to Apple's services business is Alphabet -owned Google's legal feud with the Justice Department. The antitrust case threatens Google's massive annual payments to Apple in exchange for being the default search provider on iPhone and iPad devices. In 2022, that was worth $20 billion for Apple. During the May Monthly Meeting , Jim described the matter as potentially "easy money gone," adding that investors "need to be concerned." Apple's woes don't stop there, though. Jim has an Apple worry even bigger than services growth: higher tariffs on electronics imports into the U.S. Last month, President Donald Trump threatened to raise tariffs on Apple by at least 25% for iPhones not made in the U.S. That does not bode well for the Club name because it's the company's biggest money maker. Plus, it's nearly impossible for Apple to get this done in the short term as the majority of its manufacturing is done overseas. CEO Tim Cook has tried to reduce Apple's reliance on China by diversifying its supply chain and expanding production into India. It hasn't been enough to appease Trump, though. All of this comes ahead of Apple's annual developers conference, which kicks off Monday. It has historically coincided with the start of a seasonally strong period for the stock. Investors will be closely watching what Apple says about its generative artificial intelligence system, dubbed Apple Intelligence. We previously thought that the suite of AI tools would usher in a much-needed upgrade cycle for the iPhone. This hasn't been the case as the rollout of new flashy features have been staggered and delayed. Still, we're not planning to bail on Apple shares down here. While there are clearly issues hanging over the stock, there's no denying its products are among the best consumer electronics in the world. As long as people aren't trading in their iPhones and leaving the Apple ecosystem, the ability to make money off that huge user base remains intact. And that's reason enough to stay in the stock.

Fortnite's Tim Sweeney Says 10 People Can Write ‘Breath Of Wild' With AI Soon
Breath of the Wild Nintendo Many gamers recently celebrated alongside Tim Sweeney as he and Epic claimed victory over Apple in a series of significant rulings meant to reduce the tech giant's ability to universally scoop up 30% of revenue from releases on its platform. But now? Sweeney is running in a new direction, full-steam toward the integration of AI into video games at a creative level, running afoul of many fans and developers alike. Fortnite has recently run an experiment with a (licensed) AI Darth Vader that responds in real-time to player voice chat. That has led to thousands of funny clips and huge player engagement, enough to be considered a big success. So Epic is barreling forward with more AI characters and other elements to come. Darth Vader Loserfruit Sweeney is a big driver of this, and his views on AI in game development are some of the most extreme in the industry in terms of embracing the technology, as he recently demonstrated when speaking to IGN at Epic's State of Unreal 2025 event. He talked about how AI was just another significant advance in technology, the type that gaming had embraced for years from 3D gaming to hardware and engines supporting hundreds of players for games like Fortnite. He says AI can produce branching dialogue that writers could never envision, but his most controversial comment would be the following: The idea that an entire team of Nintendo developers working for years to make GOTY winner Breath of the Wild could be replaced by a tiny team using AI sounds ridiculous on its face. Sweeney seems to be focused mainly on writing, but he doesn't expand on the implications of how that affects story. As in, you talk a character into switching sides in a conflict, opening up a new set of missions that were never meant to exist. How does that work? Perhaps the idea is that AI will just generate that too. Fallout 76 Bethesda Is his position actually unpopular? There seem to be four sides in this conversation: 1) Executives who see AI as the next big thing and will embrace and push it however they can, hopefully to lower costs, if nothing else. 2) Players who do not care about any of this and just want to make funny jokes with AI Darth Vader 3) Players who react to AI like touching a stove and want nothing to do with generative AI in their games, whether it's in writing, art, level-building, any of it. 4) The developers who do not want to lose their jobs as writers, artists and level-builders to AI, which they believe will make an inferior product and one based on their own stolen work. What will happen from here? This doesn't feel like the metaverse or the blockchain or VR pushes from before. AI is here and legitimately changing enormous industries and evolving at such a clip that it's impossible to say what happens from here. And you can say a lot about Sweeney, but he's often right about where things are headed. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram.
