A dozen days ago now, the fate of the FPS Fortnite on iOS seemed sealed when the judge in charge of the case between its creator Epic Games and Applehad ruled that the developer only suffered the consequences of his actions, in accordance with the rules of theApp Store.
As a reminder, the company had in fact granted itself the right to allow its players the possibility of paying for in-app purchases without paying the30% commissiontaken by the apple. From,even Facebookand Microsoft joined his position by also developing their own arguments against this revenue model considered to beanti-competitive.
“The right thing to do", Really ?
In a new document obtained by our American colleagues fromMacRumors, Epic Games implores the court to reverse its decision, asserting that it was right to defy the conditions of use of the App Store. The firm explains in fact that it was “the right thing to do” and describes Apple as “monopolistic“.
The studio also specifies that it risks having to deal with damages “irreparable” with already more thanhalf of its active iOS users lost(60%). As a reminder, Apple still agrees to let Fortnite return to iPhones but only if the direct payment option is removed.
