Fortnite's Biggest Battle Yet: Apple's App Store

Epic Games, the maker of popular battle royale game Fortnite, has filed suit against Apple for anti-competitive and monopolistic behavior related to its iOS App Store policies. Epic is challenging Apple's monopoly on both app purchases and in-app purchases, and Apple's 30% cut. Instead of monetary damages, Epic is asking the courts to force Apple to change its policies. In apparent preparation for the suit, this morning Epic started offering a discount for players who purchased in-app content outside of Apple's system, in violation of Apple's policies. Apple quickly responded by pulling Fortnite from the App Store. Epic resisted listing Fortnite in Google's Play Store in protest of similar policies, before relenting this April.
