> Maybe I'm cynical, but what I'm wondering is which country's regulation led to Apple being forced to do this

Not Europe, that’s for sure.

Most likely American “regulation” via cutthroat capitalism and attempt to copy WeChat’s success.

Isn’t this what competition is supposed to like?

How's this competition if it's still using apple's payment infrastructure in apps that are shipped via apple's app store?

Yes. You'll own nothing and be happy /s

Apple is going to profit tremendously off this. They did it in part because they will make billions from WeChat.

And Roblox
