They were sued by Epic Games for the same shit and Epic won on one count which allows them to put links to alternative payment methods and go around Apple.

So couldn't patreon just argue in court that this precedent was already set with epic?
That is how case law works, yes.
I'm just wondering then why Apple would even push this if a president was already set with Epic. What a bunch of greedy corporate bastards.
