It started with having a pretty scummy loot box monetization, with plans to bring game to f2p(br was always the f2p it does not count). All they got few slaps in 2018-2021 and removed loot boxes as a result. This is not new thing for them, they already knew what they were setting up

I’m surprised that fortnite was willing to front the liability of allowing third party micro-transactions. Especially gatcha or gambling mechanics based ones. That could get fortnite as a whole banned in a few countries.

All they have to do is disable games with mtx in the countries that ban it

yea fair, although some countries get super iffy about it. That was a big reason Overwatch ended up swapping to a rolling store with OW2 instead of keeping the loot box system, and that was a first party MTX system.
