Fortnite has been getting a lot of unwanted attention by Apple. Apple has prevented Fortnite from going onto the app store which prevents Fortnite from making anymore money. This is a major issue for people who don't have PC and have an iPhone or any Apple Device. At first Apple had a 5 dollar tax on every in app purchase to prevent Fortnite from making money.
Fortnite did do something a little sneaky which caused a direct violation of TOS of The App Store and The Play Store. In the latest version they had added a new feature which would let players pay a direct payment which was a little bit cheaper then paying the 5 dollar tax for Apple and the Play Store. Which then would make sense for the person to give all their money to Epic instead
This then caused Apple and The Play Store to completely remove the app and have a lawsuit saying that they violated "antitrust tos". Obviously it was due to the fact that Fortnite wanted to make some extra cash and with an app it would be great. This then caused people with Fortnite on their phone to sell to over 600 dollars just for having the app just like the game flappy bird when it first released and then was shortly removed off the app store
Overall Epic Games is facing quite the amount of threats and drama from Apple and The Play Store
Hopefully nothing of the sort will continue with other apps and such.
Thank you all for reading have a great rest of your day!
Ah, so I see. I thought Apple did it for no reason. If they violated the TOS then its their own fault. Hopefully they settle it soon though. I am sure millions of kids are eager to get it back on their tablets.
