They\u2019re betting that either Apple, or Google or both may drag their feet or reject the updates altogether. That, in turn, could lead to a drawn-out appeals process with regulators, who have threatened to fine companies up to 3 percent of their total South Korean revenue if they don\u2019t comply. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/moon-jae-in.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"President Moon Jae-in\" class=\"wp-image-19623515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/moon-jae-in.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/moon-jae-in.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/moon-jae-in.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The first-of-its-kind law barring Apple and Google from requiring app developers use their payments systems was pushed through the South Korean parliament by President Moon Jae-in\u2019s party. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The stakes are high for Match, which expects to fork over $500 million in such fees globally this year alone, representing about 20 percent of the company\u2019s global revenue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-nypost-medium-post\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"322\" height=\"455\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/google-apple.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=322\" alt=\"Google and Apple logos\" class=\"wp-image-19623504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/google-apple.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=644 644w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/google-apple.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=483 483w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/google-apple.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=322 322w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/google-apple.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=161 161w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/google-apple.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 322px) 100vw, 322px\"\/><figcaption>Apple and Google both charge payments fees of up to 30 percent and bar developers from using other payments processors.  <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>South Korea passed a law in August\u00a0that bans Apple and Google from requiring app developers to use their payments systems.\u00a0Meanwhile, bills introduced in the US House and Senate in August would also ban Apple and Google from requiring app developers use their payments systems.\u00a0EU antitrust regulators said last year that they are probing whether Apple\u2019s payments requirement violates the bloc\u2019s competition laws. <\/p>\n<p>In September, a California judge in a dispute between Apple and Epic Games ordered Apple to let developers who use its app store offer customers payments systems besides Apple Pay.\u00a0But the judge also sided against Epic on several counts and the video game maker appealed the ruling.
