It's a win with a gun shot at the leg for them because in the end, Epic game still have a way to get gamers to pay to them directly if they choose to. Epic Games is still planning on appealing that ruling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasmin Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 18 hours ago, Aniekwe said: I have taken time to read up everything on the case between Epic Games vs Apple. It's all down to Epic Games not being in approval of Apple's and Google Play 30% charge on transaction for purchasing V-Bucks. They had to roll an update that allowed gamers to pay to them directly which led Apple to delist Fortnite from Apple Store and Google from their Play store too. Epic Games was actually the one that sued Apple for delisting Fortnite from Apple store but Apple eventually still won the case. Thanks for adding information to this discussion, I did not know it was Fortnite that sued Apple and eventually lost. A lot of games are not officially available on Play or App store because they don't want to share revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And unless Epic Games would be able to prove that Apple have complete monopoly here, it's going to be difficult for them to get a win in the case because that's how they lost the first one.

Yeah but let's get back on topic - we do have another thread for discussing that case. As I previously stated, it makes sense because the software updates will render certain features in older games obsolete so it makes sense to get developers to update their games every now and then.
