The dispute between Epic Games and Apple isn’t over yet, as the Fortnite developer has now filed an antitrust complaint against the Cupertino giant to the European Union’s competition agency.
Fortnite developer Epic Games has been in a long-standing dispute with Apple ever since last summer, when the former decided to try to bypass Apple’s payment system to avoid the 30% revenue cut Apple takes on in-app purchases. This resulted in Fortnite being kicked out of the App Store, and led to lawsuits from both sides, the termination of Epic’s developer account with Apple, and finally, the formation of a coalition of developers trying to force Apple’s hand. Now, Epic Games has announced that it filed an antitrust complaint against Apple in the European Union, accusing the Cupertino giant of holding a monopoly on app distribution on the iPhone.
