Not if players like epic games don’t support Apple Pay (with east cancellation). Don’t support the app stores rules and are only found in 3rd party apo stores..etc.

It’ll turn the iPhone into an android. Which sucks as I left android because I enjoyed the walled garden.

You are free to not use any app that doesn't want to submit to a 30%/20% Apple tax.

No one is forcing you to play Epic games.

But Apple will probably cut down their rates significantly so most companies stick with the app store.

Especially if the US follows suit.

There are countless ways one can be forced to use an app. My employer could require it. My bank could switch to their own system from Apple Pay. The public transport in my region could roll their own tracking ticket system instead of using Apple Pay. An app leaving the App Store could just have no viable alternative. Etc.
