it's a long story, basically Epic tried to undercut Apple on the price of the iOS Fortnite app, Apple booted them from the App Store, Epic retaliated with an antitrust lawsuit and rallied their userbase against Apple with an in-game parody of that 1984 commercial. Now Apple is cutting Epic off entirely.

Epic doesn't need Apple's money. I don't know who ends up on top in the litigation but both companies will be fine either way. I think Apple stands to lose way more if the courts say it has to allow third-party payments that bypass the Apple Store.

the game isn't really marketed at "children" man, it is a battle royale where you shoot people to death until there is a last man standing. yeah children play it but the appeal doesn't end there, there are plenty of young adults and adults streaming it on twitch and shit.

Epic blatantly broke Apple's rules. The courts can't tell Apple how to generate its revenue. Unless there's a mass exodus of companies from the App Store (there won't be) Epic loses this fight.

EPIC built itself into a massive platform before it developed an iOS app. It can live without Apple, which makes it uniquely suited to bring this challenge against Apple.

This response was certainly part of their strategy (or at least planned for) and Epic is probably ready to rile up their fans against Apple.

Also, this opens Apple up to class-action suits on behalf of iphone only gamers whose Epic accounts are now worthless.

Kind of ironic that Epic is screeching and lisping about this while at the same time paying billions of dollars for many PC games to be *exclusive* on its shitty game store and therefore unavailable on Steam, taking away the option for consumers to choose what platform to purchase on.

Some of these games (e.g. Shenmue 3) were even advertised as steam games during Kickstarter (and the customers were specifically told they were getting steam keys when they paid), only for Epic to later buy an exclusive deal resulting in a bait and switch where the steam customers received epic keys.

It’s not apples to apples. They pay for that exclusivity to try and build a market alternative to Steam. It’s the game devs who misled the public on where the game would be available.

Read the petition. There are many paragraphs that could basically be cut and pasted to describe their behavior. If we're talking legal claims, no, epic buying a "monopoly" over the distribution of specific games doesn't meet the standards for antitrust action. It's just hypocritical.

It is potentially a clean tortious interference claim though, depending on the specifics of the agreement between the developer and consumer. If Company A contracts with me to sell a steam key, and Company B uses financial incentives to get them to breach their contract with me and send an Epic key instead, that absolutely is actionable tortious interference.

Subject: More companies join Epic Games and Facebook against Apple/Google

In a letter to Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook on Thursday, a trade body representing the New York Times, the Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and other publishers said the outlets are looking to qualify for improved deal terms to keep more money from digital subscriptions sold through Apple’s app store.

News publishers currently pay Apple 30% of the revenue from first-time subscriptions made through iOS apps; that commission is reduced to 15% after the subscriber’s first year.

"The terms of Apple’s unique marketplace greatly impact the ability to continue to invest in high-quality, trusted news and entertainment particularly in competition with other larger firms," said the letter, which is signed by Jason Kint, chief executive of the trade body, Digital Content Next.

Apple to Allow Spotify, Other Media Apps to Link to Websites for Payment Options

Apple Inc. AAPL 0.45% said it will allow music, video and other media apps to create in-app links to sign up pages on those companies’ web sites, in effect allowing the likes of Spotify Technology S.A. and Netflix Inc. to bypass the iPhone maker’s cut of subscriptions after being roiled by restrictions for years.

The Cupertino, Calif., tech giant revealed the action Wednesday, saying it was among changes being made to close an investigation by the Japan Fair Trade Commission and will apply globally to so-called reader apps available through Apple’s App Store.
