Apple declares war on Epic Games: If you intentionally play dirty, do it yourself, don’t dream of giving in here!

In the past few days, the world gaming village has witnessed a super hot lawsuit lawsuit from two technology giants, Apple and Apple. Epic Games. The story started on August 13 when Epic Games updated a version Fortnite completely new to the Apple Store, allowing players to buy V-Bucks directly from Epic to bypass Apple’s payment system and 30% discount. This move clearly violates the rules, so Apple responded by removing Fortnite from the Apple Store.

Epic then did not give in, but continued to file a lawsuit against Apple, claiming that Apple was retaliating against them “brutally”. And yes, once Epic wants, Apple also “plays” to the end when the company threatens to revoke the license to use Epic’s iOS and Mac development tools on August 28, which means that the using Epic’s engines (including the Unreal Engine) will no longer be able to run on Apple platforms. After this news was announced, Epic Games once again filed a petition against Apple, asking the court to immediately stop this action of Apple because it would cause “irreparable harm” to Apple. both Epic and other developers are using Epic’s Unreal Engine technology. However, in response to Epic’s continuous lawsuits, Apple still showed a very tough attitude, saying that all consequences are now Epic’s own responsibility.

The game studio kind of asked Apple to allow users to pay directly with Epic in Fortnite and other games Epic offers. In addition, an Epic Game Store app will also be available on App Store so that users can download games directly from here, and if Apple agrees, Epic games may pay 30% of the development fee to the company. Of course, Apple’s answer is ‘Never-never’.

“When Apple refused to change the principle of cooperation with Epic, the game studio still unilaterally violated the contract and continuously filed lawsuits, to justify its intentional violations,” Schiller said. know. “If developers bypass Apple’s payment regulations, it means that customers and game studios still use Apple’s resources, but Apple does not receive a single dollar of fees.”

Epic Games’ email rejection of the offer was responded to by an Apple representative on July 17, but then the game company still intentionally broke the law. Therefore, Apple is taking a drastic attitude in this conflict, saying that Epic Games clearly knows it’s wrong but still intentionally violates it, all consequences are entirely self-inflicted.” The court will hear the case on Monday.​
