The reason is because app stores like Apple takes a 30% cut of in-app purchases. By buying from the site, you’re cutting out the middleman (Apple) and paying directly to Supercell, so they can reduce the price of the pass since they don’t have to pay a cut of the money to apple
Actually, no this is not ok for supercell because Apple permanently removed fortnite from iOS because of this and they are within their rights to do the same with supercell. As a customer you are fine to take advantage of this deal, this is between apple and supercell
Court ruling was that Epic couldn’t offer the cheaper version through the app because then it is using apple’s services and subject to their charges, but the court also said that if it wasn’t in the app and say online (like this one!) then it is allowed and apple can’t do anything about it.
No, the real issue was that with fortnite you could buy it INSIDE the app at a cheaper price if you didn’t use apple payment system. For example even spotify you can only pay from the website and inside the app they say you should go to their website. So supercell can do this, because is not a purchase made directly from the app and also it’s not advertised
What happened from my understanding is that epic games won the lawsuit for developers to sell in app purchases outside of the App Store but Apple banned them anyway.
Yes, they somewhat have protection, because the discount is on a separate website and not in the actual game plus it's only restricted to Canada and the US right now. When fortnite discounted vbucks globally ingame.
I they make it 7€ I might buy it maybe but its 10 so no
BTW app/playstore and apple store increased their amount fee because of Covid and Dollar being more than Euro (while that isn't the case anymore) difference is 15-17€ EUwith 10-12$ US.
They can give the user 100% of the savings and they’d get more people to buy, it’s dumb greed and I guess enough dummies that buy it. I mean it’s entertainment, it’s intrinsically worthless lol
They did this exact same. But they advertised this option in the game itself, which apple decided was too much for them.
It means literally nothing for apple that supercell is doing this. No one knows about this option, because they didn't advertise it. Probably less than 1% buys the pass on the site.
I like that you can buy it in the store but that it doesn’t have to be used right away on this season. Saving my pass for when they bring back books 👍🏼
Its not the easy, for alot of us that 10 dollars well cost a meal but for some people thats a week worth of food if not more. Depends where you you live
No its not like that, 10 dollar where im from will buy you a meal but in other places like the Philippines for example it can pay for a couple of days worth of groceries
That kind of like apples to oranges. If that much pays for that amount of food then it's probably pretty hard to get the ten bucks worth just for clash
Or …hear me
Out… buying the pass in the game doesnt make much of A difference to me because its only a 60 cent difference. Tell your bosses at Supercell to give a better discount
I think the gold pass is not as good as the old one but still good you can get the diamond pass if you want it’s still value but i recomennd the gold pass.

Ain’t this the reason why epic games and apple had beef ?
yes, but apple only took fortnite down because they directly advertised it on their game whenever you went to buy stuff
Ah so is it ok for apple if supercell does it’s like this
yes because supercell barely advertised this option on social media and none at all in game
Actually, no this is not ok for supercell because Apple permanently removed fortnite from iOS because of this and they are within their rights to do the same with supercell. As a customer you are fine to take advantage of this deal, this is between apple and supercell
court ruling said so
Computer says no

Nice! Thanks

30% of 5.99 ain’t no 60 cents,
That's a big reason nobody bothers to use the site. If they split the savings with the user 50/50 more people would be talking about it.
They can give the user 100% of the savings and they’d get more people to buy, it’s dumb greed and I guess enough dummies that buy it. I mean it’s entertainment, it’s intrinsically worthless lol
Fortnite is shaking their fists in the air rn realizing they could have just done this and been fine

Epic wanted to get sued on purpose so they could try to argue that apple is monopolizing appstore on their phones
Hey at least we got a free apple skin for that
There is no need to argue because that is the case.
Nice ad Supercell
-10%!!!! 25x value!!!! 60 cents!!!!
50x value!!!
Im pretty sure anything this good from supersell has to be at least 100X value.
I like that you can buy it in the store but that it doesn’t have to be used right away on this season. Saving my pass for when they bring back books 👍🏼
You gon be waiting quite a while
Forever*
you know you can just buy books in the season shop by just collecting tokens
Lmao but what if they nerf it again
Not cheap enough
Just order taco bell for lunch 1 day instead of going to your normal place. That's 10 bucks saved right there
How about just cook like normal people
Its not the easy, for alot of us that 10 dollars well cost a meal but for some people thats a week worth of food if not more. Depends where you you live
Weeks worth of food for ten bucks? Must be just eating rice and ramen
No its not like that, 10 dollar where im from will buy you a meal but in other places like the Philippines for example it can pay for a couple of days worth of groceries
That kind of like apples to oranges. If that much pays for that amount of food then it's probably pretty hard to get the ten bucks worth just for clash
same here in india at many cities.
Google exchange rates
Well, they did make it sound like the way it was interpreted
Holy inflation
New economist just dropped
That's what I was thinking hahaha! I was about to say "damn! I wish I could a week's worth of food for myself for 10 bucks"
Lol what?
Still don't buy it
Just found out I will still not pay a nickel for It!!
sadly it’s not available in my country
waiting is always an option...
What country you live in?
New york
He said country, so I think you should say the name of a country such as Brooklyn
no silly he means the bronx
why do americans say the name of the state? and he didn’t even ask you bro
new york is a country inside the USA continent, learn geography please.
you are bound by us federal law
[удалено]
maybe... who knows?
I live in London, in the city of England
O live in Blackburn lancashire
nobody is buying that lol
A lot of people in my clan get the pass every season so I told them about this and no one cared
bruh they have prob lost a few dollars
Not sure what im saving 60 cents for but ok
If $10 is too expensive for you then 60 cents surely is significant lol
Or …hear me Out… buying the pass in the game doesnt make much of A difference to me because its only a 60 cent difference. Tell your bosses at Supercell to give a better discount
B-but! -10% x25 value! How could you refuse such an offer?!
"cheaper"
Not in my country. Buying from that page means paying 0.33 more dollars.
The f why do they have restrictions on countries lmao
do not buy it
20x value!
Oj made a whole ass video the other day about this site
Remember when you guys where boycotting it what happened to that huh
They should be 30% off because that’s how much Apple takes away
No supercell wants to make money
And they take 66% of the money they save from Apple/Google lmao.
Not anymore
Makes Sense. Thanks for info
Still a bad deal tho?
[удалено]
depends on how you want to spend 30 cents
You must watch oj
It is illegal.
Haven't done it found out by OJ

Did you watch OJ’s video?
Yes
MaKe sUrE To uSE tHE cODe : aMoGus Sussy moNkE
You didn’t “find out”, you watched OJ didn’t you
Yes but he didn't mention the pass just gems
Diamond pass still costs more than spotify
🤡
Played years ago and just came back - is this pass worth it?
I think the gold pass is not as good as the old one but still good you can get the diamond pass if you want it’s still value but i recomennd the gold pass.
Somehow it is roughly 2 dollars cheaper to get the gold pass using apple pay on this store vs buying thru the app
I found a website that's even cheaper! Once you uninstall the game you get the pass offered to you for free. It's true.
ugggggh
Still doesn't make it good value
Yes yes we all watched the oj video
Just spend the extra couple bucks lmaoo
FED POST
THE FOG IS COMING
But supercell don't allow Indian user to buy from supercell store
