Epic Games is suing Apple - TechAmok
Epic Games is suing Apple - [briefly]
02:54 AM EDT - Aug,14 2020 - post a comment Fortnite developer Epic Games is suing Apple after its game was removed Thursday from the App Store. On Thursday morning, Epic implemented a new way to purchase V-Bucks, Fortnite's in-game currency, allowing users to bypass Apple's payment system for a discount. Players that choose to purchase directly through Epic pay less for V-Bucks, and Epic keeps the 30% cut that Apple would otherwise take. Apple said the new payment system was "not reviewed or approved by Apple," and that it would return Fortnite to the App Store once the payment option is removed. Now, Epic is looking to the court system for help in addressing what it calls Apple's monopolization of the industry. It's not asking for monetary damages; Instead, Epic wants the court to force Apple away from its "anti-competitive restrictions."
Update 2
Fortnite is currently unavailable on Google Play. More information will be forthcoming soon.
