Epic Games and Apple refuse to play nice, as the two mega-corporations continue to file more lawsuits and injunctions against one another.
The public squabble between Epic and Apple has taken another turn, as the two multi-million dollar companies continue to fight over who deserves more money. After unceremoniously pulling Epic Games’ Fortnite from the App Store, Apple is going one step further. The company is planning to terminate all Epic developer accounts and tools on iOS and Mac devices from August 28. Epic Games tweeted about Apple’s decision, and said it was filing a motion for a temporary restraining order against the Cupertino-based company to prevent it from doing so. Epic claims it would cause “irreparable harm” to not only Epic itself, but to all the developers making apps using the Unreal engine. The motion also aims to prevent Apple from delisting Fortnite from the App Store, as the game is currently no longer available to download on iOS devices. So how did this unpleasant spat begin? Well, ultimately, it all comes down to money.
