First things first, here’s the link to Fortnite on the App Store. Unless the change has not yet propogated, this link should now be dead. Do a search for Fortnite on the App Store, that’s a dead-end too.
If you are new to this fast moving story, a bit from this backgrounder from CNBC’s Kit Leswing:
Fortnite maker Epic Games on Thursday announced new payment options that allow customers to buy in-game tài xỉu online uy tín credits direct from Epic Games on both Android and iPhone.
The direct payment option to Epic appears to skirt Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store rules, which require Epic to give those firms a 30% cut of revenue made through the app.
Push came to shove, Epic challenged Apple (and Google), and Apple pushed back.
And now Epic Games has responded with this just-filed legal action.
Feels like a boiling pressure cooker, about to blow.
