If you play Fortnite and are worried you won’t get to enjoy the newest season, let this ease you of that assumption. The game was taken out of iOS App stores depraving millions of users of their favorite game. The newest season 4 however, will not be available in App stores in the near future as both the companies are now amid a years-long antitrust battle in court. Epic games is suing Apple for violating the Sherman Act in mid-August of 2020. Epic games alleged that they as well as other game developer needed alternatives to selling mobile games. Apple’s requirement of 30 percent commission on games purchased through the App store is seen as unfair by many game developers.
“What’s most disturbing about Apple’s position is that they seem to truly believe they ‘own’ all commerce involving phones they make, characterizing direct payment as theft, smuggling, and even shoplifting. It’s a crazy, misguided view,” wrote CEO Tim Sweeney on Twitter yesterday.
Epic Games has defied the App Store Monopoly. In retaliation, Apple is blocking Fortnite from a billion devices.
