Fortnite removed from Apples’ App Store for adding its own payment mode, Epic files a lawsuit in return

Fortnite was recently removed from Apples’ App Store due to violating its payment terms and condition. Apple said that Epic has added its own payment system for in-app purchases bypassing the revenue share of 30% if someone makes In-App purchases from them.

This seems to have violated both apple and google platforms as it skirts the rule in which Epic had to share around 30% of its revenue share made through the in-app purchases.

Apple removed it from the app store after there was a price drop in the V Bucks that the company announced.

Epic Games has filed legal papers in response to Apple, read more here:

Clearly, Epic expected Apple to remove Fortnite and got this lawsuit ready in advance. Epic picked a fight on purpose. I wonder if Google is going to jump in. I'm sure Epic has a Google lawsuit prepped, too. https://t.co/fXdrzisuKx
