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.

Update 1
Apple has blocked your access to Fortnite on iOS devices! Take Action! #FreeFortnite

Epic has taken legal action to end Apple's anti-competitive restrictions on mobile device marketplaces. The papers are available here.

The Fortnite Mega Drop is here! Get up to 20% savings on V-Bucks and real-money offers for every purchase on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Mac, and on mobile when using select payment methods.

This isn't a sale… these are new discount prices available anytime! We're excited to pass along these savings to you and will continue to look for additional ways to bring value to all Fortnite players. Here's how to snag your savings.
