THE APP STORE REVOLUTION HAS BEGUN

Boom. Just like that, game emulator Delta just fired the shot heard ’round the mobile world. In a stunning power play, they’ve weaponized Apple’s own court loss to launch direct Patreon support – and they’re keeping 100% of the profits.

“We can now freely mention our Patreon without giving Apple 27% of donations. Goodbye scare screens!”

Riley Testut, Delta Creator

HOW DELTA JUST REWROTE THE RULES

This isn’t just an update – it’s a declaration of war on Apple’s 30% tax empire. Here’s how they’re flipping the script:

• Direct Patreon integration – No more Apple middleman taking a cut
• No more “scare screens” – Those terrifying warnings about external payments? Gone.
• Front-and-center placement – While Apple’s payment option gets buried in menus

THE EPIC GAMES EFFECT

This seismic shift comes straight from the fallout of Epic vs Apple. When the court ruled Apple wasn’t playing fair with external payments, the floodgates opened:

• Spotify immediately linked to web payments
• Amazon Kindle bypassed Apple’s cut
• Now Delta proves even indie devs can play this game

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR EVERY DEVELOPER

The app gold rush was dying. Between Apple’s 30% tax and feature-stealing (“sherlocking”), indie devs were getting crushed. Now? The playing field just got leveled:

• 27-30% more profit – That’s make-or-break money for small teams
• New business models – Patreon, subscriptions, direct support all viable now
• Apple’s own tricks used against them – Burying unfavorable options deep in menus? Classic Apple move

WHAT’S NEXT IN THE APP WARS?

Delta just proved the blueprint works. Watch for these dominoes to fall:

• Flood of Patreon-powered apps hitting the Store
• More devs offering exclusive features for direct supporters
• Apple scrambling to maintain control without breaking the law

“This is the shot across the bow. The App Store will never be the same.”

THE BOTTOM LINE

Delta didn’t just update their app – they lit the fuse on the App Store revolution. For years, developers had to play by Apple’s rigged rules. Now? The house doesn’t always win.

Game on.
