Epic objects to Apple’s policy of taking a 30% cut of all app and in-app purchases.
Epic Games late Friday asked a judge to make Apple reinstate Fortnite on the App Store, arguing that daily active users have decreased by 60% since the massively popular game was removed.... [+]Apple booted Fortnite last month after Epic purposefully bypassed Apple’s mandatory fees as a form of protest against the tech giant.
Epic argues that Apple’s 30% commission from in-app purchases is anti-competitive because it forces developers to use Apple’s payments processing system, while also forcing companies to increase prices to cover the cost of the fee. Epic is asking for a preliminary injunction to allow Fortnite back on the App Store without having to pay Apple’s fee while its larger legal challenge against Apple plays out, saying the court should “stop Apple from retaliating against Epic for daring to challenge Apple’s misconduct.”
U.S District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers denied a similar request last week, but Epic is trying to prove in this latest filing that the ban on Fortnite causes harm to the company and to the public, saying that Fortnite “has built a community people rely on” and the removal “already has resulted in a loss of goodwill and irreparable damage to Epic’s reputation.”
Epic says daily active users have plummeted more than 60% on iOS since the ban and that 63% of its overall user base access Fortnite only on iOS devices.Apple did not comment on the new filing, but referred to a previous statement about the case, according to the. “The court recommended that Epic comply with the App Store guidelines while their case moves forward, guidelines they’ve followed for the past decade until they created this situation. Epic has refused.
